Has President Biden

I figured when Pelosi got the legislation passed to prevent Trump from doing this. It would come back to bite the democrats in the ***.

Ilhan Omar, other progressives question Biden's 'legal rationale' for Syria airstrikes

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said Friday she was concerned about the White House’s "legal rationale" for launching airstrikes in Syria a day earlier without congressional approval.

"We in Congress have congressional oversight in engaging in war and we haven’t been briefed yet and we have not authorized war in Syria," Omar told CNN.

Omar had retweeted a resurfaced 2017 post from now-White House press secretary Jen Psaki that had questioned the Trump administration’s "legal authority" for conducting airstrikes against the "sovereign" country at the time.

"Great question," Omar responded to the four-year-old tweet in light of the Biden administration’s military action announced Thursday.

"Her question was important when it was a different administration and that question still remains with this administration," Omar told CNN's John King. "Our ability to engage in constitutional actions does not diminish when the party in power is ours."

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized the strike, including Republican Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.; Jim Banks, R-Ind.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.; and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.; and Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; and Tim Kaine, D-Va.

"While the President has a responsibility to defend the people of the United States, our Constitution is clear that it is the Congress, not the President, who has the authority to declare war," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in a statement Friday, adding in a tweet he was "very concerned by last night’s strike by U.S. forces in Syria."

See now Martin, all your work in cancer research was in vein because Joe Biden is going to be known as the President who cures cancer. If you can cure cancer than Covid should be a walk in the park.

The real president, Trump's speech was the State of the Union speech.

In a fascist dream of America, Trump is the real president. Fortunately in reality he's just another overweight, deranged tall guy from Florida . His speech was another example of his total lack of understanding of history, human decency and the real world. He's a dangerous idiot. I'd pay to see him become a full time resident of the Cayman Islands.

Okay, not in vein but maybe in vain. Your continuing disdain and hatred of anyone with even a rudimentary education just never ends.

But, we lost the war on cancer that Nixon started decades ago and you don't even know it.

Pharma has no interest in curing anything; they'd much rather have you pop a pill every day, live an extra 2-6 months (read the fine print on all those drugs that are advertised or just look up the clinical results), and bill you and your insurance both. They both just make money while you die.

That's called a success. That's the system you want to support and maintain.

Let me know when you rejoin this reality and planet..............on 2nd thought, don't.

Gee, not the Cayman's Send him to Haiti...........he'll blend right in there.

Same with many if not most doctors. If you're cured you can't come back and spend more money. Same with fossil fuels, if we develop alternative fuels oil companies go broke. Same with (insert your choice here). It's all big business and isn't going to change.

In a fascist dream of America,

"a fascist dream of America is Antifa on the west coast continuing to attack the US government"

The anti-fa as any sort of organized movement is only in the imagination of the right wing in this country because rightwing does not want to deal with the reality that the terrorist threat in the USA itself comes almost exclusively from the craziest right wing nutjobs like the 3 Percenters, the Proud Boys, etc. Not a single anti-fa arrest from the Jan.6th sedition. Lots of right wing Rush Limbaugh fans . Republican party needs to change its name to recognize its policies. The Party of Trump. Primary policies are cheeseburgers (not a bad thing), xenophobia, racism, misogyny and a doomed attempt to maintain white supremacy. And oppressing the poor as a side benefit for the fascists who populate the party, or at least in half of it.

I did pass it up and read about it in the NY Times and WSJ. My usual consulting fee is $500 per hour and no one offered .

Indeed, the anti-fa is the boogieman that the right wing invokes to cover up its own activities and to have available to blame.

Sadly, the Republican party we used to like is now dead or on life-support. They had their opportunity to take back the Republican party handed to them on a platter.

The antifa that I am talking about are on the west coast. they are not a political organization .They keep a low profile and communicate through social media when they are about to do something. They continue to attack the federal buildings in Portland and Seattle. They were not involved in the Jan 6th PROTEST...

I was kind of hoping they would burn them to the ground...

I am kind of looking forward to the protest, riots, looting and burning down businesses when the weather warms of like they did last year. Now that Trump is gone it will be interesting who they blame it on.

[Neil]

Nobody in their right mind condones burning down police stations, attacking the police, looting businesses, etc. Trying to pin this deranged behavior on any organized political entity is contrary to the facts. So the Republican attempt to link the Black Lives Matter movement and Democratic local leaders to this sort of criminal behavior is cynical and dishonest. What else is new?
