2/3 of Congress is owned by AIPAC so it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

“I don’t care what that old paper says” -Trump
OMG that's hilarious. We haven't declared war since WWII. But how many presidents have done just that? Good luck with that argument.
He's not wrong. Definition of genocide and war crimes are also pretty clearly enshrined. As are our countries laws against funding them.
yhea, Have you seen the news?
rule of law is dead in the US
Taco’s a bitch, he’s leaking all this to get leverage to make a deal. He’ll pussy out and Iran knows it. They’re playing the same games with him but from a position of knowing he’s full of shit
Even if we ignore the fact that he can easily coax our useless congress into agreeing, the entire government has done nothing but dance around this requirement ever since the end of WWII. You won't see a congressional declaration of war unless its literally WWIII.
I think most of those congressional powers have been eroded for a very long time.
Diaper Don gonna order brown people to get bombed so he 'looks like a tough man".
Fuck that guy and everyone who voted for him. Or chose not to vote. Fuck you even more.
There is absolutely ZERO reason to believe that those who didnt vote would have voted for Harris. In fact, every person I know who didnt vote are trump defenders. Every one. Every. Single. One.
"Looks like a tough man". Is this really the level of political comprehension we're working with? No wonder you idiots elected a fascist. Are all of you 12? Go back to playing fortnight.
Fuck you even more.
I've never understood this pov. Sure you can say no vote was the same thing as a vote for trump, but surely the people that actually voted for him are worse, no? I can understand 'fuck you just as much', but even more?
It's the apathy, or the belief that it somehow doesn't matter. To quote Walter Sobchak:
Nihilists, fuck me. Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, at least it's an ethos.
Went thru the same shit with Bush 20 years ago.
Indeed. Congress had 20 years to put up some guard rails, but didn't.
And people really think congress wouldnt vote for war? Lol...
Seems pretty epicly pointless to try to force a vote against Israel's interests in the US congress. It will be unanimously shot down, like every other bill that Israel has any interest in.. Sanders know this. So why is he pretending a vote in congress is the big goal that we need to make noise about?
Sanders wont even call the war on Palestine a genocide. If he wants to actually do something effective here he should be forcing AIPAC to be registered as a foreign lobby, like JFK tried to do right before he was assassinated. Otherwise Bernie is just wasting everyone's time, and keeping the left busy yelling for a vote to happen that we have absolutely zero chance of winning.
And if they do so be it, it's just a consequence of our representational democracy, however, it is their decision.
