> Our intelligence concluded Iran wasn’t moving towards a nuke

> Credible deterrent against stuff like this?

You mean the credible deterrent is moving towards a nuke?






That is the point of what I was saying, yes.

Look I dgaf about what Iran was doing, there is no wool over my eyes about what that state is capable of. I saw the IEDs with copper cones used to kill and maim my friends, they almost certainly came from Iran.

What I care about is: congress declares war, not the executive. The people should decide, and we just stepped 10 steps closer to the monarchy we tried to depose 250 years ago.


This has been happening my entire 40+ years of life. I agree it shouldn’t, but this ain’t anything new. If this makes Trump a monarchy, then every president since 2000 was a monarch.

Straw, camel, back.

2024 Trump is using the power of the executive in ways even more grotesquely than 2016 Trump.
