    This is all for show. He’s violating the constitution because he can. If the war went to the current dysfunctional congress for approval, it would be a mix of “anything for you” and “it’s too late to stop now.”

    it means hes calling it officially done then going to claim new action in the area is a new conflict and gets another 60 days.

      Not this time!

      I fixed it by putting in “sell” order for market open on Monday. Gotta pay for my kid’s college tuition.

      So ofc this will absolutely be the time the market goes down Monday AM. Make my pain your gain: buy put options

    It’s Friday. He normally pushes one narrative to lower stock prices on a Friday and then another early in the week to scare the market so prices rise.

    It means he has embroiled the US in yet another war (after campaigning on “no new wars”, because he had to distract from his involvement with sex trafficker J. Epstein.

    Now he needs to keep the rhetoric up, because it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Iran War is costing the US dearly.

    It means that he wasn’t going to get an AUMF from Congress in his 60 day window, which is what I pretty much expected. Now it sounds like he’s going to try to continue the blockade portion (i.e. not the bombing) but argue that imposing a blockade doesn’t constitute deployment of troops, which I suspect isn’t going to fly if it comes to court. But we’ll see how the legal and political maneuvering plays out.

    It means the same thing as all the other times he says something stupid: he’s a senile fuckwit.

      … that the majority of us voters felt was super appropriate to take office a second time, no doubt due to the bang up job he did the first time.
