    Needed. What’s done is done. It was illegal and he should be removed immediately.

      “No no, now is not a time for division, we must hear what war criminal pedophile rapist has to say and meet in the middle.”

      That’s how US has always been and this won’t be any different.

      Despicable people all around.

    GW Bush, Obama, and Biden all used a specific interpretation of a law called “2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force” to commit strikes on other countries without congressional approval, which is exactly the precedent Trump is trying to use here. Congress in truth likes this so they can do things like this and pretend to be upset about war instead of having to defend their yes votes for it, as many of their donors would require of them. If they really wanted to do something about this it boggles my mind that in the 25 years since that law, they’ve never rallied specifically around repealing or re-interpreting it and have scarcely even called attention to it.

    Remember the military was just there to defend the law enforcement personnel according to the White House so it wasn’t a military strike.

    It’s all BS but is defendable in the press, doubly so if no further action is taken.

    She’s not wrong… But she’s also actively enabling him so she’s complicit in all this.

    I just don’t get Susie Wiles: she seems to be the only person in the Trump team of evil henchmen with her head screwed on halfway right, and the demented orange utan still hasn’t fired her.

      She’s as bad as the rest, and this quote is from before this happened. If you wait for a current quote from her, I have no doubt she will defend whatever Trump did, and claim the media is lying.

      She is intended to be a comforting face for traditional republicans, but she has Trump’s trust only because she (and only as long as she) rubber stamps and sanewashes everything he does.

      …is this a joke? She’s one of the more evil parts, figuratively greasing almost every gear and wheel that Trump wants moving.

        I know, but weirdly she seems to know that the shit she enables is wrong, and even more weirdly, she seems to have no trouble admitting it candidly in public.

        Most of the other Trump Nazis are unhinged or incompetent, all of them are corrupt to the core, and none of them openly talk about the egregious fascist stuff they do, or the grifts they take part in.
