THE HOUSE PASSED THE WAR POWERS RESOLUTION STOPPING TRUMP FROM CONTINUING THE MILITARY OPERATION THAT ENDED WEEKS AGO! WOW! COOL! How absolutely performative. Congress is so fucking useless. https://xcancel.com/ABC/status/2062286689800716381#m
Tired of judeodemocracy yet?
Well now he can abandon the war and say it's not his fault.
>>536350916>Trump hands the establishment the war they wanted for decades but couldn't find the political space to commit to>only regret is now because Trump is doing it "incompetently" (implying the other ones achieved anything KEK)I hope Trump orders the land invasion soon, before Netanyahu leaks more Epstein details
>>536351070The US political system, as it was intended, is the best political system in human history. We haven't had that for decades, some would argue for over 100 years.
>>536351134Pedo protecting
>>536350916Shut the fuck up you retarded nigger. It's a symbolic resolution, which has no legal significance. Stop falling for these fake news you absolute gullible moron.
Presidential war powers should have been rolled back after Bush expanded them. We don't have a king we have a president. Consolodation of power will always lead to a worse outcome for those without power.
>>536351325anon... that's my pointdid you even read the post before you raged about it?
>>536351504> did you even read the post before you raged about it?No
>>536351823that's fair, carry on
>>536351504>>536351900OP isn't a fag, just once. See you all on page 10
>>536351823>>536351900It's nice to see civility on pol. Good job, niggers.
>>536351070yes been out of control since midnight hammerdemocracy won today
>>536351411I don't think Bush expanded them as much as congress just abdicated their responsibilities so they can do nothing but insider trade, launder campaign donations, and virtue signal. >>536352047>>536352090cheers lads
>>536350916KeK. I can hear the kvetching from here.
>>536351900THANKS
>>536350916oh no, too bad the president doesn't have veto powerswait a second
>>536351113It'll be his fault when we're forced to withdraw and Iran closes the straight again, imposes tolls, and gas skyrockets to $10/gallon. He started this mess. Congress may force us to cut our losses and withdraw, but the he and the Republicans in general will be facing all of the blame for the downstream effects of all of this since they started this war.
>>536350916Is this binding or a nothingburger?
>>536355302Trump can just veto it as soon as it arrives on his desk
>>536355302It's largely performative since the president can just veto it. Yes, the president can veto a resolution from the Congress that tells the president that he can't do something. Funny how that works, right? Congress is completely useless
>>536351411Friendly reminder that congress was absent when Bush went to war. They did not vote for or against the war because they didn't vote at all, even though it's supposed to be one of their powers. The house and senate were both shown to be empty on the news when Bush's stupid invasion timer was ticking down. Not a single congressman was there during one of the most important events in American history in the last hundred years. Congress gives no fucks at all as is normal for late stage democracy.
>>536355302nothing burger, it would still need to go to the senate, and even then he would veto it. thomas massie being a faggot and not wanting to slime sandniggers is what did this.
>>536350916Aaaand it fails in the senate, aaaaand it fails again in the senate after midterms
>>536350916This is treason
>>536350916Huh?Didnt Trump have a deadline before Congress could cuck him out of it?
>>536350916It still needs to clear the Senate and Trump can still veto it.
>>536355769The deadline is meaningless, israel can end the not-war a day before the cut and start another not-war-2 and reset the clock.
>>536350916>that ended weeks agoThis is still important because Israel obviously doesn't want peace.Hopefully even Trump isn't retarded enough to openly go against congress and order another strike on Iran when it inevitably retaliates to another kike attack.
>>536355870Oh that's smart.Mutts on ground when then.
>>536355516>20 years in Iraq/Afghanistan>Congress never declared warAt this point, it's pretty safe to say that Congress has abdicated their war powers to the president. They had 20 years to declare war, pass a war power resolution, or generally use their power of the purse to limit the war (particularly in the later years when support weakened and no one even knew why we were there anymore), and they didn't do it. If they didn't do any of that in 20 years, I wouldn't expect them to ever do it. Congress is already useless, but to just give up and hand over one of the few powers that they actually have to the President is beyond pathetic. Just expect every future President to be the full commander-in-chief and sole decision maker about the military in the US
>>536350916>How absolutely performative.Yeah, pretty much. All the checks and balances we were supposed to have to prevent a king have been ignored if not destroyed. Project 2025 has succeeded by all measures.
it's such nonsense, the law is clear, it doesn't need any vote by congress, the administration is already in violation of the law and constitution.
>>536355887If it made it to his desk, he would just veto it, retard.
>>536356871It's pretty ridiculous that the president can just veto a law that's designed to stop the president from single-handedly dragging the country into a war.
>>536350916It won't pass. It is antisemitic and goes against the constitution of the United States of Israel.
>>536352211>>536355516Point taken, but a power not exercised is as good as a power that doesn't exist. We need to return to a point where the balance of power actually existed and was enforced on this shit.
>>536356092what law? their own resolution says he has 60 days before a vote can stop it, operation ebin fury ended after day 60 lol
>>536350916Does anyone here actually believe that Trump will do anything but what his Admin is running?
>>536355189>Iran closes the straight againthey won't>imposes tollsthey will>and gas skyrockets to $10/gallonIt won't.The toll will only add a few % to the price of crude, nothing significant and much less than the current situation.
>>536357508Yeah he just has to come up with a new name for his foreverwar every 60 days.Same with things like tariffs.Congress is a meme.
Where are all the TACO parrots today?
>>536359043>they already did>they already did>oil reserves at historic lowYou may as well concede it now
>>536355486You missed a step where Congress can cancel a veto with 66% of the vote then it stands for good. However, it so rarely happens it would be a 8% chance on Polymarket tops. In this case it could happen since the war is so incredibly unpopular everyone needs to be seen to be against it.
>>536359442They passed it by like 3 votes, they can't overturn a veto.
>>536359043>>Iran closes the straight again>they won'tKind of a retarded position to have when they have been closing it every chance that they get. You think they're going to just suddenly change their minds about closing it if and when they win? btw closing the straight goes hand-in-hand with imposing tolls, which you seem to agree with. Yes, Iran has completely closed the straight for a few countries (the US, naturally) but for most, it's a "closed unless you pay us" thing. I don't see how you can think they wouldn't close it, but you agree with the tolls. lol>It won't.>The toll will only add a few % to the price of crude, nothing significant and much less than the current situation.It will. The prices have already been skyrocketing and we're running out of emergency levers to pull. The strategic reserve has been emptied ever since Biden used to try and artificially lower prices during HIS administration, and they're currently passing new laws to let gas stations sell you cornslop E25 gas since it's cheaper (it'll also ruin your engine, but don't worry about that, goy)
>>536359442Yeah. the other anon beat me to it, but I didn't forget that Congress can override a veto - it's just not going to happen. They barely got the war resolutions passed by a few Republicans jumping ship. They're not going to get 2/3s. There are still plenty of MAGA loyalists and jewish assets in Congress.
nobody cares about this kike theater anymore
>>536359727Semantics.Is a toll road a closed road?Trumptards will call it "closed" but the rest pf the world will call it open because they can get their ships through which is all that really matters.Yeah a toll has to be paid to pay for all the damage gulf states did to Iran by hosting America's war - it's only fair.
>>536351134The fact that it corrupted to be no longer as intended is proof its not. It was set up to prevent corruption and authoritarianism and it failed. Laws are just words on paper after all. Ranked choice voting shouldve been implemented from the start because not having it inevitably leads to a 2-party gridlock, which means congress cant function as intended and then theres pressure for the president to just do bullshit and act as a King like Trump is now.Executive orders should not exist, presidential pardons should not exist. The filibuster should not exist. Lobbying should be illegal in the constitution itself. Supreme court justices should have checks to prevent them from legislating from the bench. Finally congressmen need to be held accountable for their votes and should be permitted to be voted out by the people they are representing on 6 month intervals. Also congressmen need term limits. The entire system has collapsed.
>>536360035Everything you mentioned can be done within the framework of the system though. The people in power don't do it because it wouldn't benefit them.
>>536351113He's already said "That was for the war last month, if we start fighting again its a new war and they can't stop me."
>>536350916Congress should understand that dying for israel is a sacred amerimutt tradition that shouldn't be encroached
>>536350916It doesn't matter they won't stop funding Israel, and they will just continue the war as a proxy
>>536355667
>>536359986>Semantics.>Is a toll road a closed road?It's not semantics. You're just retarded and either can't or didn't read the rest of my post. Iran has COMPLETELY CLOSED the straight to a few countries (like the US, obviously). There is no toll for US ships, they just don't let them cross for obvious reasons. For other countries, yes, it's a toll system. And your comparison to a "toll road" shows that you clearly don't understand the real purpose or threat behind this toll system. It's not like throwing 50 cents into the bucket to cross a toll road. If Iran wins this and they retain control over the straight, it WILL BE functionally closed because the tolls will be exploitatively high to take advantage of countries who desperately need to move valuable cargo like oil. They'll have a chokehold on a large part of global trade, and they aren't going to be letting ships pass through for a few pennies.
>>536360097Exactly. Thats why its a flawed system. If it wasnt flawed the separation of powers would have been enough to not allow them to do that. Now its essentially unsalvagable and the empire will probably collapse in our lifetime.
>>536360035Oh please bozo, it wasn’t set up to do the impossible; it was set up to restrain corruption, not to prevent it. The US has done a fine job, this resolution is evidence the system still bucks
>>536360115Yeah, I don't think Trump gives a shit about Congress. Just another fraudulent illegal thing Trump has done, though.
>>536360313a lot of women in Beverly Hills looks like this
>>536350916When I get nuked and they look back on this moment and say "uh oops I guess the jews were right about Iran" I hope they compensate for your guilt by importing an aleph-1 infinity of shitskins at you
>>536350916>the straight of hormussy is now permamentely closedEnjoy your summer normgroids you're going to have be paying 20 bucks a gallon pretty soon.
>>536351113Ya basically
>>536355687Your face is treason
>>536359797Six months age even this would have been impossible. Give it a couple more months and an impending midterms bloodbath and everyone will want to wash their hands clean of Trump's zogflation.
>>536351113He's gonna abandon the special military operation Epic Fury and start Operation Totally Awesome Mudkips
