"The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

@popcornreel

Won't happen but appreciate the thought. Thanks.

@popcornreel

NATO countries should condemn US and none should send troops to support US against Iran...

@popcornreel It is not. However we might disagree with that decision, it is not an illegal act for him to do that.

And I'll tell you what: AOC knows full well that it is not.

JFC one time I wish a politician would just tell the truth.

Like. One time.

@popcornreel

C'est pas elle, qui comme Bernie Sanders, disait qu'Israel avait le droit de se défendre ?

Trump n'est que le résultat de décennies de politiques américaines, y compris démocrates.

@popcornreel

I like AOC a lot, but if a POTUS were impeached for a foreign bombing run, then every one in the past 60 years would be impeached. Well, maybe not Carter, but all the rest.

The US Congress has long since abdicated war powers to the President and doesn't even blink about bombings.

@TCatInReality @popcornreel Impeaching more war criminals sounds like a good idea, actually.

@jedimb @popcornreel

Absolutely. I've long thought the US should have a department dedicated to investigating and indicting past administrations (up to the prior 20-30 years).

What better way to keep their hands clean than knowing that, someday, they won't be in power and will be held accountable.

@TCatInReality
This could be really elegant. I love this idea.
@TCatInReality @jedimb @popcornreel This is exactly why no one in power has any interest in Trump seeing justice. 2021-2024 was spent pussy-footing around Trump’s criminality to avoid setting a precedent that might come back to haunt them or at least restrict their power.

@popcornreel "... that may ensnare us for generations" ... I disagree. It "may" not, it "will". The entire situation Iran currently finds itself in is the direct result of a U.S. intervention in 1953 when the CIA toppled the democratically elected government under prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh and replaced it with a totalitarian monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This led to the revolution in 1979 and the Ayatollah regime.

The U.S. has been in a "cold war" with Iran ever since.

@popcornreel *tumblweed* is all thats going to happen

@popcornreel

True, but will it happen, that is the question…

@popcornreel It's been a lot of blabla and too little real action from that side of the aisle. Their must be something more they can do (not talk about) to restrain or stop him from making these utterly dumb decisions?
@popcornreel To all #Americans: “Your president will start a war with #Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to stay in charge, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran” #USA
@popcornreel Yeah, it ain’t gonna happen. There’s like two people in the entire Congress that have any interest in resisting Chump. Half the balls in DC belong to Alexandria, and Bernie has the other one.
