@rhauck777@nytimes Congress has challenged presidents on war powers many times. The House voted against authorizing Clinton’s Kosovo air war in 1999. Kucinich sued Obama over Libya in 2011. And Congress passed war powers resolutions against Trump himself in 2019 (Yemen) and 2020 (Iran).
@nytimes The US currently holds Iranian, Afghan, Venezuelan, Russian, and Cuban state assets. If unresolved property claims justify embargoes and lawsuits decades later, those governments can argue the mirror image: that the US is “trafficking” in their property.
@EricLDaugh Today, Trump’s net approval rating in our average is -13.9.Trump is less popular than he was at this point in his first term (-12.5) and less popular than Joe Biden in the same period (-9.3). He’s also less popular than Barack Obama was at the same point in his second term(-7.9)
@UchocheziWaHoja@TheEconomist HRW and Amnesty reports document ongoing restrictions on opposition, media crackdowns, stalled constitutional reform, and controversial port deals under Samia’s administration. Tanzania deserves transparency, rule of law, and real multiparty democracy. Mwalimu would be so proud.
@TheEconomist This instability did not start with her, the seeds of this darkness were laid decades ago. We adopted capitalist reforms, without the requisite political culture or institutions to garuntee that the very same growth would not shake the foundations of our nation.
@awfulannouncing Because it’s SAS and his proclivity for putting his foot in his mouth it’s easy to dismiss his claim. On this one he’s just reading the temperature in the room. It’s not a racism thing it’s an identification thing. Cooper flag looks like the boy next door.
@SuppressedNws I lived in Brooklyn and these men do not represent the sentiments of the majority of Jewish people who would never condone such behavior. I am not Jewish and I do not agree with the war in Gaza but this footage is not who the Jewish people are it’s an example of evil.
@CalhounColonel Woah woah when did we become the team to hate these days cmon everyone we are UConn. We are the good guys we are the blue collar, cardiac kids. We are the giant killers. Let’s focus on the real enemy here which is always Dook. Coach Hurley is just passionate about the game.
@larryelder Larry while you are ranting about black Americas ills, white Americans are dying from an opiate epidemic which none of you choose to address. 35,000 white American died from the opiate and prescription drugs vs 6,000 African Americans. Who has a moral problem?
