@Stirn7382 @TheKuhnerReport He's obviously GenX. Boomers are pretty similar to millennials and GenZ, just older. Boomers include the whole hippie subculture. It's highly offensive to refer to GenX like that.

@luxemiaa Why are you looking for an apartment with your boyfriend when you just proudly posted how your husband told your son to stop picking on his sister because real men respect boundaries? And, is this the same son that is 21 and asked whether he should buy tampons for house guests?

@DGersh94 @Acyn You just earned yourself a follow from Dan Quail.

@rg_jill @sebsdetector @Villgecrazylady @JudgingFreedom Also, I didn't even say what my opinion is on the war. So what am I propagandizing? FYI - I'm all for it, Trump has executed like shit. I also think the Bible thumpers on the right are idiots, and the progressives on the left are insufferable. So, no propaganda from me

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@rg_jill @sebsdetector @Villgecrazylady @JudgingFreedom But my main point was none of this was illegal under US law. Some of the laws are a bit grey - so you can't consider them as making an action illegal until the SCOTUS says so. I don't care what other "experts" say on TV. I know what the Constitution says. /2

@StollerDav @RasmusJarlov OR....You don't run your mouth. This way you can back off and ask politely for the Uranium. And start up again. Then say "OK. That's enough for now. We have some other stuff to do". Hit them with some drones on a random Tuesday. But don't talk unconditional surrender.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@Djeffry_SilentD @RasmusJarlov Think he's talking about the fact that they massacre their own people, toss homosexuals from rooftops and hang women from cranes.

@MyPronounsRFOff @aj_geo_analysis The stated goals of removing Saddam and the Taliban + the al Qaeda strongholds? Absolutely. Then we fucked around with nation building. The military part was won. We should have left immediately thereafter. We didn't, and that's where we started wasting resources.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@rg_jill @sebsdetector @Villgecrazylady standpoint. Only Congress can declare war, and that gives the exec branch a whole slew of powers. The War Powers Act isn't worth mentioning because it's too subjective. What I don't understand is why Iran - who just butchered 30k people for protesting gets any support.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@rg_jill @sebsdetector @Villgecrazylady I specified US law. Khomeinism preaches "Death to America" (aka the Great Satan). There's been a long history of proxy attacks on us, they were working on ICBMs & enriched uranium to 3x the purity needed to do anything but make a bomb. This isn't a "war" from a Constitutional /1

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@MyPronounsRFOff @aj_geo_analysis Iraq didn't win by any measure. We beat Saddam quickly, & then fought various insurgencies, ISIS, etc. It didn't "feel" like a win. Same with Afghanistan. Fast win, followed by.... hanging out for 20 yrs trying to teach democracy & fighting an ideology. Terrible optics leaving

@ohiovoter4145 @Villgecrazylady People with locked-in syndrome are way more vulnerable. Carry on.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@rg_jill @sebsdetector @Villgecrazylady It was neither illegal nor unconstitutional under US law. The president exercised his right as Commander in Chief to address a threat. He did a shitty job of it, but it wasn't illegal. We should finish the job the right way.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@alwaysampay @Villgecrazylady No. Congress has the power to formally declare war from a Constitutional standpoint. The exec branch gets far more powers so that the other branches can't bog it down. This isn' a war in that sense. Nor was Vietnam, Korea or Iraq - even though they are wars in common definition.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@LAMaralagoinsky @Villgecrazylady She knows exactly what she's talking about. Congress absolutely controls this type of spending. It's clearly articulated in the Constitution (unlike the ambiguous, poorly-written War Powers Act). She's not calling for Congressional anything, just stating a fact

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@Asandry4 @DocJokeraf @gatorgar Nope. He's on point. Tons of liberals are exactly like that. And that's why they lose elections. They irritate people into voting for the GOP. And, before you reply with the typical BS, I am by no means "MAGA", and am absolutely furious with how badly Trump fucked up on Iran.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@George__On__X Americans that hate Trump want America to lose so they can confirm their biases. And some are bots or working in the social media propaganda business.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@MyPronounsRFOff @aj_geo_analysis Depends what the bar is for winning. The IRGC leadership is literally underground threatening the world economy. Basically doing what the Houthis did in a more strategic area with better bombs and speedboats.

[Rob O'Brien @amishalc]

@SamanthaPfaff @MAGASouthEastFL @DanBurmawy I'm just as pissed as anyone about this clusterfuck....But he said *help*. If 90 million people revolted, the regime would all be dead. Hand-made weapons, assassinations and sabotage would do just fine.
