      They’re going to ask politely for a vote in Congress to give Trump permission to be fascist. And when the request for the vote is ignored, they’re going to diligently line up to support the next NDAA funding measure that made this criminal act possible while shaking their heads to let you know they don’t like how it is being used.

        That seems to be the thrust of their criticism. No problem with the action, simply disappointed that he didn’t ask for permission.

        Utterly worthless, and the both of them need to be replaced, 9 months ago when they demonstrated their inability to meet the moment

      Yes, they totally fucking suck. Now let’s talk about the real issue, our pedo prez just invaded a country, took the preseident and his wife and are now threatening to do that to a lot of other countries for their oil money. Can we focus on that right now?

        One issue is the dems response is either positive or saying trump needed to let them vote to authorize, as the dems say they would have voted for it and are only upset for not telling congress not attacking another country. Just like when he attacked Iran.

        Ah yes. Let’s ideate on a person we have no control or influence over instead of people in political power whom we do have a degree of influence over. Surely spinning our tires over how bad Trump is instead of focusing pressure on, at least allegedly, politically aligned individuals we might be able to make demands of.

        Shouting into the void about ‘Trump’ bad instead of focusing criticism where it might make a difference is a better strategy.

        We get it. “Orange man bad”, but Schumer’s and Jefferies basically supporting this is actually worse because they are litterally the only tools we have at our disposal to stop him.
