“And that makes the whole thing constitutional?”

It may. I guess we’ll never know. :D

Yes, The president has to go to Congress for declarations of war. Trump isn’t declaring war.

We’ve been doing this for more than 100 years. It’s not right, but there it is.

I only recommend that we get the facts before losing our minds. It totally does not help Trump or his goals to do this. He’s not an idiot.

It seems that Trump is catching more flak from the right about this maneuver than Obama did with his “personally directed” Drone strikes on civilian targets in the middle east. This attack is a very, very low-key and calm way of letting people know that there is a new sheriff in town.

Even our most peaceful presidents have done stuff like this. This isn’t even Iran-Contra level.

So, did you protest about Obama and his drone kills? Just wondering.

Let's be honest. We haven't had an honest commitment to war powers since WWII. There is no such thing anymore. It's a farce.

Now be sure to be honest with yourself because America shouldn't even be in the Mideast.
