    U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted his potential concerns, reflecting a view from the right flank in the Congress. “I look forward to learning what, if anything, might constitutionally justify this action in the absence of a declaration of war or authorization for the use of military force,” Lee said on X.

    YEA ME TOO! For fucking Christ’s sake. Wouldn’t that have been nice to have for the past 20 fucking years too. Maybe then we could avoid invading poorer countries to prop up “defense” stocks. There no money for schools, healthcare, housing, medicine, or food for children, but there’s a trillion fucking dollars for the military… to INVADE VENEZUELA???

    Everything Trump touches, misery follows. And now, death follows him too.

      Mike Lee is one of the fuckers responsible for this. He has let Trump do crime and bypass congress since Trump’s first term and suddenly, this is what makes him ask questions? He’s just trying to cover his own ass.

      Psst, “nothing ever happens” people… This is where nothing cannot happen. I already can’t believe all the times he got away with ignoring the constitution, but no matter what your political alignment is, this cannot stand. He fucking can’t just bomb a country and kidnap its head of state, so that “the biggest oil companies in the world can make money” – that’s an (almost) direct quote from Trump.

      Mike Lee is full of shit. He was not being facetious there, he’s literally looking forward to receiving his talking points on how to defend this shit.
