Christmas of 2001 my cousins from Texas brought their PS2 with them to visit and my 8 year old brain exploded seeing the graphics. I played video games before but that was my first “video games are so sick” moment

The paid grifters, partisan hacks, and bots are out in force—misleading people about the Constitution and the law—to defend Trump’s unconstitutional war.

Here’s an important Iran war PSA:

Contrary to what you may have heard about the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. §§ 1541–1550), it does not allow the president to take military action for any reason for 60–90 days without congressional approval so long as the president notifies Congress within 48 hours.

Section 1541(c) of the War Powers Resolution states clearly:

“The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”

Of the three cited authorities, not one indicates a presidential power to take unilateral (without Congress’s approval) offensive military action.

The first two authorities allow the president to take offensive military action but only with Congress’s express approval (Article I of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war).

The third authority allows the president to take defensive military action without Congress’s approval in the event of a specific type of national emergency, a sudden unforeseen attack on the United States (happening too quickly for Congress to meet) necessitating immediate action to protect Americans.

It’s for this last situation (or for situations in which the president introduces forces into hostilities unlawfully) that the War Powers Resolution provides for the oft-mentioned 48-hour report to Congress (§ 1543) and 60-day (up to 90-day) timeline (§ 1544). If there’s an attack in progress on the United States (i.e., currently happening), we expect the president to respond swiftly to neutralize the attack and protect Americans—and then we will hold the president to account.

The Framers of the Constitution agreed at the debates in the federal convention of 1787 that the president should have the “power to repel sudden attacks” but not the power to otherwise introduce forces into hostilities without congressional approval.

The War Powers Resolution does not confer any new authority on the president to take offensive military action without congressional approval—nor could it under our Constitution. It instead checks the president when, as the Framers contemplated, the president introduces our Armed Forces into hostilities to repel a sudden attack.

The fact that previous presidents have violated both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution does not—and cannot—change the law or make any present military action lawful.

This has been THE executive playbook since Truman sent us into Korea as a “policing action”. 75+ years, 10+ presidents, the window to change this sort of behavior closed decades ago. The state has been murdering in cold blood for decades and nobody is angry enough about it

I pressed Rubio on whether he and Hegseth lied to Congress when promising to seek congressional approval before attacking Venezuela. This was his response:

@TierZoo @evmiiister Unrelated but my girlfriend and I just watched and rooted for you in The Getaway, Mr. Zoo. You did a great job in that!

@TierZoo @evmiiister I think it’s a joke about OSRS YouTubers Tanzoo and Virtoso, who do content together often. Tanzoo=Tierzoo, names sound similar=funny sort of deal?

@slime_machine There’s an older Hardcore History podcast called “The American Peril” that describes America in 1900 as basically Ogre Magi, where the one colonialist head needed to convince the other non-interventionist head to take over Cuba
