Wait A Minute…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have almost always been at war with Eastasia. So you didn’t obliterate their capacity to make nuclear weapons? Bibi told him so. Or the voices in his head. Same difference, really. Wait, what? Nuke Israel? Or bomb them? Well, now I feel better. Meanwhile, Congress engages in a vigorous discussion of the sunk cost fallacy as a Constitutional doctrine:
Raskin: I heard one of our colleagues across the aisle just say, “Well, yes, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 does give Congress the exclusive, plenary, comprehensive power to declare war and not the president. And we could be debating it, but the president has already taken us to war, so it’s too late. It would undermine the cause for us to debate it.”

What a humiliating, self-defeating argument for a member of the Article I branch of Congress to be making. Don’t you understand? That destroys our power to declare war if any president can plunge us into a war and thereby defeat our exclusive, plenary power over it—
"We don’ need no steeken’ evidence! The President’s word should be enough for any patriotic American! Even if that word is: “Elecshake-- uuhsayuhr electric.”!
JEFFRIES: President Trump claims that Iran poses an imminent threat to the United States through its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles that could perhaps someday reach our shores. If Iran is actually on the verge of having that capability, the president should provide the evidence. But no such evidence has been presented to this Congress or to the American people. We can only assume that it does not exist.

Donald Trump said that he wanted to achieve regime change. Donald Trump is an individual who promised Americans on the campaign trail that launching regime change wars in the Middle East has been one of the most foolish and costly things that the United States has ever done. Those are his words.

Candidate Trump said that if elected, he would never get our country into an endless regime war. President Trump has now done the exact opposite.
Besides, Trump doesn’t need Congress. He said so. There is absolutely no bottom. So, violating the war powers clause and the appropriations clause? Sure, why not? 

No bottom at all.
