Trump "vetoing" the War Powers Resolution Act is Constitutionally irrelevant since only Congress can declare war, and their rejection of war in the context of Iran, makes any further military action by Trump against Iran an unconstitutional, and impeachable, act.
Bryce Mitchell reacts to Sean Strickland being banned from the UFC White House event:
"I'm not surprised at all. We ought to be able to criticize our own nation, let alone a foreign nation.
[Israel] is the only nation you're not allowed to criticize. Something's gonna change, because evil empires don't last forever."

The US-Israel relationship has never been—and never will be—a partnership.
It is entirely one-sided, benefiting only the dependent (Israel).
Whether through direct aid or different mechanisms such as Section 224 of the NDAA, the US is on the losing side of this relationship.
This is great news! The American people don’t support this war because it is not in our vital national interest.
Kudos to Barrett, Davidson, Fitzpatrick & Massie!
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.
The United States of America is a sovereign nation.
Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act must be removed.
Our military should not be integrated in any capacity with a foreign country’s military.
Nor should we be funding it.
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
We cannot outsource components of our national security to nations that do not share our interests; they will put their own interests first every time.
No other government prioritizes the needs of a different country before its own, because that would be foolish. @joekent16jan19@RStatecraft https://t.co/QRBwbF0EVe
Intertwining our defense technological development w/the Israelis, or any foreign nation, is foolish & dangerous.
Section 224 of the NDAA must be rejected.
My 1st article for @RStatecraft explains why: https://t.co/HUtS2qNITX
This fraudulent, dying, Israel First media company and its figurehead Ben Shapiro deceived their audience by branding as principally devoted to free speech and debate.
They of course favored censorship of Israel critics and it's good that they're now explicitly admitting it:
The story about Trump yelling at Netanyahu to stop bombing Lebanon is similar to Reagan telling the PM of Israel to stop bombing Lebanon in 1982.
But at least Reagan called it a holocaust and pointed out a picture of a 7 mo old baby with its arms blown off as the symbol of Israel’s actions.
Trump doesn’t have the courage to do that even though today there are countless pictures and videos of babies and children blown to pieces and dead from Israel’s bombs in Gaza and now Lebanon.
Holocaust? Genocide?
Yes.
Intentional and accurate.
And it seems there is no end in sight no matter how many news stories are planted of the U.S. President yelling at the Israeli Prime Minister.
It’s just a play call used over and over again to once again fool the American people that their leader is being responsible and not cold hearted.
When in reality, every American President and American elected leaders know the bombs keep falling and the killing never ends, while the campaign contribution checks keep getting cashed.
