This is deeply disturbing. The terrible, incoherent messaging and strategy around the Iran war (unapproved by Congress) is connected. This is an administration that is seeking less freedom, not more. What entity would sue on behalf of the ombudsman?

It cannot be "unapproved by Congress".

A US president does not have authority to start a war, Congress has, according to Constitution. The president only serves as a Commander in Chief.

So at any point Congress can stop any military action issuing an immediate ruling preventing the president doing anything. If our congressmen don't do that it means they approve it.

It's our, USA, war, not Trump's war. Because we elected the congressmen.

These needs to be repeated everywhere until people understand it. Same situation with tariffs.

Why would they stop something that a huge majority of people voted for and want?

Trump won the popular vote and if we use logic from above all the non-voters are in fact supporters as well.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no proof he actually won the popular vote.

Trump has admitted openly that he won due to mass tampering with voting machines, and thanked Elon Musk for his help.

Your analogy falls apart.

Citation needed. You lot elected him before, seems likely you elected him again. Pretended he won by cheating instead of because your democracy is in dire need of a refit will do little but alloallow the next facists to win as well.

They passed a bill saying in 60 days stop without further approval. Admin said days we don’t attack dont count toward the 60…

Congress voted to stop counting days to allow the tariffs to keep going without having to actually act on it! Congress overruled time passing. These people are fundamentally breakers of reality, aren't just unserious: they are anti serious. RFK and all of this is a perpetrated act to be grossly anti reality, to defy all reason. No reality supports any of what's happening, there's no reality where any of that GOP agenda can win, so they have declared war on reality. https://www.ntu.org/publications/detail/congress-should-not-...

This stopped being alternate realities a while ago, as it became a collective project to form anti-realities.

Yes, if this turns into a mass famine/deindustrialization, Americans are going to own it the way Germans owned the holocaust.

The Germans owned the holocaust because they lost WW2 and afterwards became a vassal state of the Allies and later just the US. History is written by the victors.

We've already taken 600,000 lives by being complicit with foreign national Elon Musk's genocide in Africa. Most of them children.
