I agree. He disgusts me.

Absolutely not. Article II in the Constitution makes the president the Commander-In-Chief of all US military forces.
Article I grants Congress the authority to declare war but doesn’t define a war. For example, when Obama authorized the military to invade a sovereign country, Pakistan, for the purpose of killing or capturing Osama Bin Laden, he did not seek congressional approval nor should he have.
Is capturing a terrorist a “war” requiring Congress to approve beforehand? Should there be a debate for a few days and a public vote to authorize such an action?
Sorry but that is nonsense.
After America withdrew from Vietnam, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution (or Act)… which is probably unconstitutional but that’s not the point at the moment.
The WPR requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of a military action and to keep Congress informed for the next 60 days. They can then decide to declare war, authorize further action or demand withdrawal. The act also allows for a 30 day withdrawal period.
Note that the Korean War, Vietnam War and two Gulf Wars have been conducted without a declaration of war. So since 1945 the US has conducted at least 4 major wars…. without Congress having declared war.
But wait!! Now they want to declare a war in order for the Commander-In-Chief to act? 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, let’s start NOW!! Forget 80 years of not declaring a war.
In any case, the WPR allows the president to act and notify Congress within 48 hours. They have been notified.
The WPR allows the president 60 to conduct military actions and 30 more days to withdraw without congressional approval.
Next question?
Did all of those Presidents at least notify Congress? Are were the members of Congress just as suprised as the general public.

There was already something in place to prevent them from producing nuclear weapons. This reminds me of the time Bush said that Iraq had missles of mass destruction. What is the protocol for this type of air strick? Is it a requirement that Congress has to be notified? If so, he is not a dictator and cannot make that decision alone.
During the Obama administration, the US pursued a policy of engagement with Iran, culminating in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal. This agreement, reached with Iran, the US, and other world powers, aimed to restrict Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:-
JCPOA:The JCPOA was a landmark agreement designed to ensure Iran's nuclear program would be exclusively peaceful. Key provisions included Iran limiting its uranium enrichment capacity and stockpile, and allowing international inspections. In return, UN, US, and EU sanctions related to Iran's nuclear program were to be lifted.
-
Sanctions:The Obama administration also significantly increased sanctions against Iran, particularly targeting its oil sector and financial institutions. These sanctions were aimed at pressuring Iran to negotiate and accept the nuclear deal.
-
Diplomacy:The JCPOA was the result of years of diplomatic efforts, including secret talks between the US and Iran.

I think we’re at 15 now. We could stand for a few of them to be recognized days, but not Holidays.
There’s also been talk about businesses rotating the Holidays… these four this year, those four next year, etc.
I don’t think Trump spoke out of turn- I think he was whistling at a group of his supporters who aren’t happy that the last two federal holidays were gifts to the African American Community. But he’s not alone- I had a black co-worker make the argument only black people should have Juneteenth off, lol.
Fanning the fires of racism never goes out of style, I guess.
I can't believe that your coworker said that. I think Texas was the first state to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday. Some employers have floating holidays meaning that they recognize all of them but you can chose which ones you want to take off, up to a certain number

Capitalism at its finest. This is not bribery. The only reason the multi-millionaire congressmen hate billionaires is because they aren’t.
Donald Trump's business dealings with other countries while he was president have been a subject of significant scrutiny and raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and violations of the Emoluments Clause.Key Points:- Refusal to Divest: Unlike previous presidents who have typically placed their business interests in a blind trust, Trump did not divest from his extensive business holdings, the Trump Organization, while in office.
- Foreign Government Payments: Reports indicate that Trump's businesses received millions of dollars from foreign governments during his presidency, leading to allegations of violating the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits the president from accepting gifts or emoluments from foreign governments without Congressional consent.
- Congressional Report Findings: A House Oversight Committee report revealed that Trump's businesses received at least $7.8 million from officials and governments of 20 countries, with significant payments from China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
- Lack of Divestment for Second Term: In anticipation of a potential second term, the Trump Organization revised its ethics policy, allowing for a broader range of transactions with foreign partners and counterparties, including foreign governments. This raises further concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
- Lawsuits and Legal Challenges: Several lawsuits were filed against Trump regarding his business dealings and potential Emoluments Clause violations. However, these lawsuits were ultimately dismissed as moot by the Supreme Court after he left office, meaning there was no definitive judicial ruling on the matter.
- Delayed Disclosure of Foreign Trademarks: Trump waited until after leaving office to disclose hundreds of foreign trademarks he owns, including a significant number in China. This delay raised concerns about the lack of transparency regarding his foreign asset holdings during his presidency.
- Examples of Potential Conflicts: Examples include the Trump Organization's trademarks granted by foreign governments, such as China, and real estate projects with connections to foreign governments, particularly in the Middle East.

I thought I may have heard it on O'Reilly or Hannity. But I may have seen it on this site. A video of the Chief talking about it is embedded in the site. He said the rioters had commercial grade fireworks shot at his officers. These could kill. So, Ok, the statement is true. So, I'll ask you -- why didn't Newscum do anything? He didn't -- but Trump was the one that helped.
You lost me when you mentioned Bill and Hannity

I personally don't believe this is going to go the way Democrats are planning. If there is looting and vandalism, that will only benefit Trump's use of the national guard and military.....plus put Democrats on the wrong side of the issue.
Protests in , from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, according to the No Kings website.
No protests are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., however, where the parade will be held. The group says it will “make action everywhere else the story of America that day.”
I hope it rains
