Hillary: we came, we saw, he died.

She meant Gaddafi, of course; but, she certainly gets the credit for the savage slaughter of Ambassador Stevens.

Libya was Hillary’s idea.

The War Powers Act allows 60 days before Congressional approval is needed.

And POTUS is required to notify Congress when hostile actions are initiated. That’s when the clock starts.

POTUS is constrained by that law to act in the best interests of the US, as defined by him.

So why does he need their support to enforce the deportation orders of so many illegals? To give Nutty Nancy two weeks to spew more insane crap and legislation he will never pass?

It is not the two weeks in the grand scheme of things it is the principal of delay. How much longer do we wait to see some action on getting rid of the invaders in a wholesale way? How much longer before we see some real action?

Round them up and throw them out.

“The President has the authority to wage war.”

FraudCo must be especially concerned for their terrorist BFF’s in Iran.

“One problem here is the well-intentioned ‘Authorization for Use of Military Force Act’ of 2001. It gives the president the power to strike anyone responsible for 9/11, and to use force against “international terrorism”.

The Act has no limitations as to time.”

I wonder if SCOTUS was to rule on this law, would it use yesterday’s “unconstitutionally vague” reasoning to strike it down?

“it is appalling that Pelosi is so unaware of that fact.”

she’s probably very well aware of the legalities and is just lying ... practically every word out of all the Dem leaders right now are outright lies, and they KNOW they are lying ...

I’ve never really seen anything like that in this country before ... the Dems are apparently relying on the fact that the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia are playing along with their lies, and believe the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia can keep us bamboozled and ignorant ... the only question is whether it’s going to work, that is will at least half the country believe their lies because they are too ignorant or too lazy to seek the truth from alternative media?

Yes. And the Neocons in the Trump admin, or some of them anyway, are at least as likely to have voted for Hillary as for Trump. So I can see a scenario where they get their war, and destroy a President that they hate...

Don’t worry. President Trump is smarter than the deep state.

Did Obama need approval to authorize U.S. armed back Libyan Rebels to strike against our own Embassy and killing four Americans?
I think not!!

“They have ideas. They’re intelligent people. They’ll come up with some thoughts...”

PDJT gives our WORTHLESS CongressCritters WAY too much credit! Somehow, I think that statement MIGHT be tongue-in-cheek.

I love this man! MAGA! :)
