@opinion_joe I read an excerpt from a piece you did for @TheFP. In it you said "White men have made sure to take care of themselves, and to hell with anybody else."

I ask you, is there a culture other than white men who have fought and died for the freedom of slaves of another race, as White men did in the civil war? Who was first to outlaw slavery? White men? Or men from another race or culture? Is there a race or culture other than one started and still majority controlled by white men that allows those from other cultures and races reach the pinnacle of leadership within their society?

Their success while doing those things certainly doesn't constitute, "to hell with everyone else".

@DanielLDavis1 He should have done this earlier. Iran has played games for far too long with every administration. The use ceasefires and negotiations to delay.

Enough is enough, they need consequences. Take out the entire leadership of Iran.

[Millennialtics @Millennialtics]

@ImBreckWorsham Iran has repeatedly said they will use nukes to destroy Israel and the USA. Israel has had nukes for decades, is consistently attacked and threatened, and hasn't used them once.

@the_missing_n0 @SenWarren Can you provide an example other than COVID vaccines (the vaccine mandates were not capitalism, they were corruption and tyranny of government).

[Millennialtics @Millennialtics]

Yes, but money will stop following bad ideas and products.

With capitalism, if Blackrock buys a business that customers don't want to buy from, they are going to lose business, Blackrock is going to lose their investors money, money managers get fired, and similar ideas get mothballed. Conversely, Blackrock's investments where customers see value and are willing to pay get duplicated.

[Millennialtics @Millennialtics]

@the_missing_n0 @SenWarren What evidence is there to support that claim?

[Millennialtics @Millennialtics]

@rscadence @Hickenlooper @grok At the end of 24' markets knew Trump would be president, Wall Street pricing accounted for that. You're asking the wrong question.

@PGATUOR It's a solid 4
1 being Charles Barkley (2003)
10 being current day Steph Curry

[Millennialtics @Millennialtics]

@SenWarren As Capitalism does, banks will tighten controls and requirements for these types of deals. Investors who lost significant amounts will scrutinize more throughout the entire industry.

@SenWarren Note/context: Musk has paid $11.5 billion more in taxes than 50% of people in the USA.

@SenWarren Tell us you don't understand how wealth works by telling us you don't understand how wealth works.

Civics refresher — how U.S. presidents can use military force without Congress

A lot of people think the President needs Congress’s permission every time the U.S. uses military force. That’s not how U.S. law actually works.

Since the War Powers Resolution of 1973, every president of both parties has ordered limited military action without prior congressional approval — and done so legally.

Examples include:

• Ronald Reagan (Grenada, Libya)

• Bill Clinton (Kosovo)

• Barack Obama (Libya, Syria)

• Donald Trump (Syria, Iran)

• Joe Biden (Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen)

So how is this legal?

Because the law allows it.

Under the Constitution, the President is Commander in Chief. Under the War Powers Resolution, a president:

✔️ May initiate limited military action to defend U.S. forces, citizens, or national interests

✔️ Does NOT need advance congressional approval to do so

✔️ Must notify Congress within 48 hours

✔️ Must end the operation within 60 days (plus 30 days to withdraw) unless Congress authorizes continuation

Congress still has power — but it’s after the fact, not before:

• Congress can order withdrawal

• Congress can cut off funding

• Congress can pass (or deny) an authorization for continued war

If Congress does nothing, the action stands.

This isn’t a loophole. It’s been the settled system for over 50 years, used by Democrats and Republicans alike. You can oppose a specific action — but pretending it’s illegal just because you dislike the president isn’t serious constitutional thinking.

This is how the law actually works.
