Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

It's nice that this administration regularly admits to criminality. Should make the impeachment easier. First Dem 2028 candidate that says we will give the ICC jurisdiction over war crimes during Trump admin gets my vote.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

Times i wish hell were real. I hope he bomes painfully ill, lives long and suffers greatly. Maintains his mind to see the results of his actions and the notoriety of his name.

Why anyone still gives credence to anything Trump says is beyond me. If he called it a Popsicle, would you also call it a Popsicle and continue griping? Either Trump is a liar and has no idea what he is saying, or not. Having it both/either way(s) when it suits you is illogical.

The nuances of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 do not allow any exploratory fact finding when a President claims imminent threat until after the 60 day threshold when an extension is requested for AUMF from Congress. Furthermore, there is zero accountability when a false flag is discovered.

It's going to be so funny when Democrats approved endless supplemental funding for this bill. It's really going to make the 2028 campaign really fun as they explain that we cannot have Medicare for all because we're broke from the next Iran funding Bill

Since he also said in his message to the UK that the war was already over, I guess we can get back to releasing the Epstein files and passing the DHS budget with plenty of ICE reforms.

He is an absolute madman! Wreaking havoc on the world as a distraction from his crimes. It is we, the people, who will reap the whirlwind of terrorist vengeance and world scorn. Is there no one who will shout to the skies that he must be stopped?

AI Claude is used for target selection for the US during this war. It doesn't discriminate between old information and current information when selecting targets. This is what happened in the bombing that killed all the schoolgirls in Iran. And now they want it to target YOU!

Congress has become a group of wussies. All violating their oaths of office to uphold and defend our constitution! Fire them all! We need a congress with balls and ethics!

* Donald Trump & his Fox News appointees administration & the Republican House and Senate are literally insane, a collective mass-psychosis cult. A David Korash religious cult motif. Putin & Trump are creating the environment for the third world war & no one cares, just sleep walking into *

I say every member of congress, every DC politician, 77m maga voters pay for every bit of his illegal activities. Venezuela, changing the names of agencies, murders at sea, Iran. Split it up because by law none of was approved by congress we will not pay for this.

Whether or not Trump has gone to Congress for them to declare war is basically a moot point. It ain’t happening and the GOP members of Congress don’t care. We need to move on.

I am genuinely wondering ... what happens next? What happens after reypublicans kept behaving like there was no tomorrow. What happens tomorrow? Do they go to jail? Exile? Or are we back to business-as-usual?

If this isn’t, then they should just abandon the entire constitution because at this point, there’s nothing illegal immoral and traitorous that he hasn’t done.

Having lived through both Trump & Clinton, I can say that Impeachment without Conviction AND removal is useless! Impeachment in the Senate is more likely than Conviction in the House, especially for Mike Johnson! And there is little precedent for removal..(1/2)

Regardless, in order to fix what’s broken through Impeachment, we need to REMOVE Trump, Vance AND Mike Johnson to get Democrat Patty Murray into the role! That’s lottery odds.

Where is the ICC in this ? I'm against the Iranian regime, but we sank their unarmed ship in international waters and left the survivors in the water.

The Dems in Congress should know that attempting to bypass the language of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 wasn't going to work. If they were going for a political dog & pony show, fine. GG? Once 60 days pass and the President is required to obtain an AUMF from Congress to continue operations..

how do you think that is going to go? Hint: Since the Republicans control both the House & Senate; they will continue to give King Trump anything he wants; and several Dems will vote with them.

Trump cannot conduct a war without approval from Congress. That means Congress has to pass a bill ACTIVELY ALLOWING him to wage war. They have not done so. To me, that means he has to stop and the military has to stop listening to his orders and all funding is cut off.

At the very least, it's costing $1 billion - BILLION - per DAY(!) and Congress didn't authorize that. He's already asking for more - was it over $300 billion? for 'defense.' This isn't defense, it's aggression. Republicans are accomplices at this point of stealing our tax dollars.

The GOP is unserious. If he said the sky was purple, they'd immediately get on Fox News and crow about it. "Such a lovely, deep shade of purple with violet undertones." And whatever Fox toadie was conducting the interview would be all "How can anyone disagree with that? " This is where we are.

People need to realize that trump can do whatever he wants if congress refuses to take the steps to stop him. We are at war, all people are really arguing is the semantics of what we call it.

Here's a thought. The question is, why aren't Dems pursuing this? bsky.app/profile/did:...

HOW TO STOP AN ILLEGAL WAR Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, who serves as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, need to be court martialed at once for obeying illegal orders. This is the decision by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ):

Does Trump ever not lie - I've started listening to the remains of Irans leadership for a modicum of truth. I heard they did damage to Us's biggest aircraft carrier..maybe?

Yep. Hey, hey, GOP. Run 🍊💩 out of office today. Save us deaths, pain, & catastrophic outcomes of multiple wars he's planning. Our economy is suffering. ICE out of control. Tariffs are tanking whole industries. Attacking multiple countries to cover up sexual assaults on children is vile. Stop him.

It's guaranteed that if he's really confronted with his semantic choice he will likely have a tantrum and divert the subject or have a tantrum and deny that he ever used the word "war".

While the USA is spending billions in an unnecessary war in Iran, Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum broadcasts the inauguration of a new Women's Oncology Hospital, that integrates IA diagnosis and robotic laboratories. And yes, it's FREE for the citizens.

The US is engaged in a war of aggression with the goal being death & destruction, a war of annihilation. They aren’t even targeting the regime but Iran’s civilians; they are destroying oil infrastructure and desalination plants needed to rebuild the country & for basic survival.

Once upon in America Don Trumpionni opened Pandora’s Box, darkness fell upon all citizens! My name is Trump, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Clausewitz cogently defines war as a rational instrument of foreign policy: “an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will.”! Trump - his ‘will’ changes from rant to rant, soundbite to soundbite! Even Trump does not understand his own ‘will’! Trump is not rational!

The war of aggression on Iran would be illegal under international law regardless whether a MAGA-dominated Congress approves it. It's this sort of exceptionalism about the US that pisses the world off, as well as caring more for "service members" (now war criminals) than mass-murderd schoolgirls

Hey Congress, if war can only be declared by Congress, and Iran poses no imminent threat, then it's an illegal war & all orders issued to military commanders are illegal orders. So why are military commanders, all of whom swore to uphold the constitution, obeying illegal orders?

Any normal person would have freaked out if the leader of any country stood in front of cameras the way trump did today in Miami - slurring his words and rambling on. But this is not a normal presidency is it?? 77.3 million trump voters voted for him
