    Imagine being so sycophantic, so subservient, so blindly and absolutely loyal to any authority, that you have no shame about it, at all. When some “Man” shows up in a suit or uniform, you immediately drop to your knees.

    And in Johnson’s case, he drops to his knees for more reasons than one. No shame in that, but his party and constituents don’t like that…

    Trump cock sucker sucks more of Trump’s cock. Fucking cool man. Dems remain nonexistent. I used to think the ‘we need a do over’ crowd was a bit dramatic but more every day I’m finding it a hard point to argue. These fucking ignorant narcissists just soiling and eroding what our country stands for and the fact that none of our elected officials are doing anything infuriates the shit out of me. Yes I do see the benefit in Judicial actually standing up to a lot of this and celebrate their efforts, but it sdoing nothing to stop them from trying over and over and over.

    Imagine being so cucked that you give away your already incredibly narrow and ever shrinking powers. What a fucking buffoon.

    Well, the War Powers Act is unconstitutional - but in the other direction. Deploying military force requires a declaration of war, which requires congressional approval, but the War Powers Act circumvents that by pretending that using euphemisms to describe military actions instead of calling it war makes it different, somehow.

    How the hell can these people call themselves conservative. What kind of conservative calls for greater executive power?

        They’re royalists but don’t want to face reality, they want a king but saying that is about the least American thing you could possibly do.

      Conservative means “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.

        Why wouldn’t it, they do that with everything else. Ask a conservative if they hate something and they say they don’t hate because it’s a sin. Ask them to describe how they feel, and they describe hate.

        They believe “constitutional” means that thing they do on the toilet each morning.

    The constitution explicitly says what to do with this motherfucker. Stop being such pussies and do it.

    Do these people understand that once they give away these powers the next person who wrestles away power from trump may see them as an enemy? With the constitutional power to disappear homegrown terrorists nobody is safe.

    “Many respected constitutional experts argue that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional. I’m persuaded by that argument.”

    I don’t think he was persuaded by the argument, I think he was hoping such an argument existed. Anything for daddy Trump.

    “I don’t want to have to take a position on record about my support for disastrous forever wars.”
