MULLIN: “I don’t remember you saying ANYTHING in 2016 when Barack Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in Syria, Pakistan, Libya—to name a few.”

Back in 2011, who was it that was saying that he did need that approval?
Right. So why do you cater to this partisan bull$h!t? It is petty and counterproductive.

I’m old enough to remember when the dems were bitching about illegals and blaming the repubs for the immigration problem. I’m also old enough to remember when they were tough on crime. What happened?

At that time republicans were mad and saying Obama needed congressional approval, now its democrats doing the same thing.

The it was bad when they were in office but its ok for us to do it is hypocritical

except now its like the republicans are using the fact that democrats are pieces of **** to justify themselves acting like pieces of ****

What am I a hypocrite about? I won’t deny I could be but give me an example and I am happy to address it.
and i see that came across aimed at you but that wasn't my intention there

you are right dems did ***** about illegals and immigration and they were right, but that means you also need to recognize that means republicans at the time were wrong on the issue?

again, not needing an answer or asking you directly just pointing out all the blaming and pointing at the other team doesnt help

Do you agree with Nancy Pelosi in that video?
I do.

I am not sure I like the idea of a US president unilaterally conducting military operations but that is the law congress passed. I kinda like it because Congress is an empty body and doesn’t do $h!t. What is the last major legislation it has passed that isn’t an appropriations bill? it was probably under Clinton but I could be wrong. So in that context I like the President having that power but I still don’t like It but congress is useless today So we can’t leave anything to it.

and that idiot Jeffries pretending Libya is different is BS. Either the president has the power or he doesn’t. so Let’s either put Clinton, bush, Obama, Biden and trump on trial together, or they need to STFU and stop dividing us over partisan BS.

Your turn. Does President Trump have the authority or not? And if not, what should we do to the past presidents who also abused their powers?

  • Noboa Issues Decree Against Iranian-Backed Terror: Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa signed an executive decree on September 16, designating Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as terrorist organizations. Executive Decree No. 128 was issued after Ecuador’s National Intelligence Center (CNI) warned earlier this year of the strong presence of these terrorist organizations in Latin America and their possible ties to Ecuadorian criminal networks. The decree asserted that the three groups pose a direct threat to the sovereignty, public safety, and integrity of Ecuador, instructing the CNI to examine the groups’ links to Ecuadorian criminal gangs, coordinating with other regional intelligence agencies, if necessary, to combat the threat.

Trump has the authority, as did Obama, as did Bush in Afghanistan (Congress never declared war) and Iraq (Congress did pass the AUMF and Hillary voted for it), Clinton had the authority in Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo, and Iraq for Northern/Southern Watch, Bush had authority for Panama/Kuwait/Iraq, and Reagan had the authority for Grenada . This latest talking point from the left is ridiculous.
