If I am wrong about the intel, share it with the House Majority Leader.

(81,540 posts)Thought for sure somebody else would be better. A few have had the decency and maturity to admit they called that one completely wrong. Which is good. Itll be an icy day in Hell before we see any republi-CONS get anywhere near there.
History will NOT be kind.

(51,753 posts)The answer is as plain as the US Constitution, which reserves for Congress the power to decide whether to go to war.

(6,133 posts)I dont mean some kind of mix up. The Republicans have off the normal since even Nixon. Rush created a world post Nixon in which everything became one side against the other.
We have got Trump, but its not our fault. Its guy like Rush. You cannot create a class of haters without day to day hate radio.

Congress now has a moral and legal obligation to reassert its power to stop this war and protect innocent people from horrific consequences.
We have two immediate options:
1. Vote on a War Powers Resolution, which requires Trump to attain Congressional approval.
2.
