The Iran War Powers Resolution that I cosponsored (opposing the war) just passed the House of Representatives.
The People’s House is sending a message: end this war.
@iVikramSI@rm_actor@ElijahSchaffer I’m the furthest thing from MAGA and yes, I know you’re Indian. Reading comprehension might be off or you’re in a hurry. That’s fine. Reread what I wrote.
Yes, but you crash a boat full of you on British shores yesterday and you’re suddenly “British.” Yeah, we all get how your oriental logic works. It may work on the brainwashed self-loathers but it’s no longer working on the rest of us. We’re done with the lies and watching our civilization die. Should be an interesting next few decades.
@LeadingReport He knows which way the wind blows. This will amount to nothing because he’s a coward. And when nothing comes of it, he’ll remind us all how he got mad at Netanyahu that one time, so don’t worry, he’s not useful stooge.
I don’t care. I’m American. We shouldn’t have been in that stupid needless war at all. Europe is not yours, nor is the United States. Nothing personal. You have a home country and so do we. It is not wrong that we want it preserved every bit as much as you would want yours preserved.
400 years ago, ya fucking cucked, self-hating, suicidal moron.
My grandfathers put their blood in this soil, from King Philip’s War, to the French and Indian War, to the Revolution, settlement of Western territories from Kentucky, to Tennessee, Missouri and Texas, to the Civil War, and beyond. Kindly go fuck yourself.
@PeterSchiff Lower quality, like this shit. Went from Ice Cream, to “frozen dairy dessert” recently. Basically frozen cool whip. Oil and emulsifiers and skim milk. Trash. Shrinkflation.
@AP4Liberty At this point, this retard is just trolling folks. Pretty bad when guys like Matt Walsh end up showing more personal integrity than dudes who once pretended to be products of the Ron Paul revolution. Sad
@AP4Liberty@SongEternal Dude, I knew you’d lost it, but this is next-level retarded. Do you not read anymore? MAGA worms eat up too much of your brain? Jesus
@ockhams_glazer@BrionMcClanahan Dude somehow thinks that ratification was presented as this awesome, indissoluble one-way trap, where if you ever even think of trying to leave, we’ll kill you and burn down your homes, and the 13 states said, “hell yeah, sign me up for that, baby!”
I love that Trump is putting his face on the $250 bill. It'll be a constant reminder that it costs $250 to get what used to cost us $100. Let that be your legacy you narcissistic imbecile.
@MarioNawfal@SecScottBessent Yeah, this is totally great for crypto. Show the whole world how useless and vulnerable it is to seizure, every bit as much as bank holdings of fiat
I am right in whole. The United States is more accurately the States united or the people of the States united, but they never constituted a nation then or now. To say there is an American people or a people of America is like saying a Utopia for Utopians exists. It never has. But don't believe me, believe John Taylor of Caroline (a "Founding Father") who said the same thing.
To say I am "anti-American" is perhaps the height your your low-IQ and uninformed position, I say perhaps because your next statement might be worse. "Sovereignty" cannot be surrendered. The people of the States still retained it, as per the Constitution. The general government is not sovereign in any legal way. It has delegated powers but not sovereignty--and any powers not delegated to it are "reserved to the States respectively or to the people" meaning that the people of the States are still sovereign.
The people of the States as the principle did not bind themselves to the government. They created an agent--the General Government--to perform tasks they delegated to it. The Constitution provides the structure for that agent "between the States so ratifying the same" as per Article VII. And by States it meant the people of the States where the people ratified the Constitution in separate State conventions. But when that Agent assumes powers it does not have, the people have a right to check that power--as "Founding Father" Alexander Hamilton said undelegated powers would be "null and void." If the agent then continues to abuse the said power, the people of the States have a right to resume the their independent status and leave the Union.
Your contract analogy fails to recognize that no one was discarding it at will, but you are correct about a breach. If the two parties agree to certain powers and one assumes powers not outlined in the contract (breaching the contract), the other has the right to terminate it at will. That would be the proper analogy as the General Government assumed powers it did not have.
You clearly have never read Calhoun and you don't understanding nullification or secession. Calhoun did not believe in "reducing the federal government to nothing." He believed in keeping the "federal government" to its delegated and enumerated powers. All "Constitutional" powers had to be obeyed, and if the majority of States amended the Constitution to expand the powers of the general government, then those would have to be obeyed as well. Nullification is, in fact, a unionist position. Secession is only used as a last resort when the principles of the agent--general government--continue to abuse one or more of the other principles and thus breach the compact (or contract).
I know it is hard for you Jackson lovers to truly understand American government because General Jackson also had a hard time with it, but I hope this helps.
By the way, to say the "Founding Fathers" believed the government was "indissoluble" would be news to them. Everyone thought secession was not only legal, but a realistic possibility. The man who literally wrote the final draft of the Constitution, Gouverneur Morris, later advocated secession. Guess he wouldn't agree with you.
@ALTrav4@iBalu85@SnazzyLabs You stupid retard, Quinn is so quite obviously a left leaning guy who doesn’t vote republican. You must be new here. Good lord you people are insufferable.
