    1. @Jaak Savat indeed .. whome are you blaming? Do you think 2.5 trillion dollars had anything to do with it pentagon..it went missing? You see why Q had to be ..this game is far from over ..trump will be back by April 5 ..

    2. @Jaak Savat the same folk you speak of are the same folk who open up the bourders to whomever. But want fencing around them 3 layer’s thick to protect themselves from who ..you see it? You see it ?

      You see it👈😲👍

    3. Maracopa, Arizona, Antrim county Michigan, Fulton county Georgia, etc etc et. The Dem Roaches are running into the dark as Judges are demanding we get the Truth! It will be scary for many dems

    1. ethan burnside
      exactly when were we not apart of the world? You do realize that Obama, Both Bush’s Clinton, Reagan and pretty much every President used the War Powers act
      to invest our military into action? Do you know what the very last Declared War of Congress was? World War 2. Korea nor Vietnam were declared wars When Democrats controlled Congress and yet our military was sent to fight. Truman and Kennedy/LBJ sent troops to Korea and Vietnam respectfully. So President’s have been able to use the military without Congress consent for decades. The War Powers Act has never changed on who can declare war. It would probably be unconstitutional to take away a Presidents power
      to utilize the military in things such as responses to terrorist attacks, taking out terrorist leaders, or the protection of the US Citizens around the world. Being that the President
      is Commander in Chief. Can you give me one example of the military bullying under Trump’s command?

    2. @Stone Men yes the endless wars. Obama bombed folk hard with Joe ..and murdered seal team 6 . But AARON VOUGHN survived his own funeral? He’s back he’s after them .it’s a proper bombshell ..tic toc video on Scotty mar10 ..if you haven’t seen it look for it . It’s TRUE crazy days

    3. @REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH these people are fleeing from unacceptable and inhumane conditions. To them, crossing over our borders is not a crime, but a beacon for salvation.

    1. @Seventy8 Not to be picky, but Clinton authorized many strikes against enemies without Congressional approval. The Vietnam War was pretty much manufactured by the Executive and later sold to Congress, and I think that is where the roguish nature of the Executive really took off. If the Executive spent more time forging alliances, which is a power actually given it by the Constitution, it would find less of a need to dabble in war adventures.

    2. @a propos John F Kennedy wanted to be peaceful with the Vietnamese and the USSR, he wanted to steer this country well away from being perpetually war like, the CIA assassinated him for it. See “jfk and the unspeakable”

    3. @Blaire Sovereign I am not sure from what sources you derive your understanding, but any fat history book on Vietnam will tell you differently. American leaders did not know anything about Vietnam and they did not care. Vietnam was a French colony. France tried to contain the revolution there. They gave up. The Americans said they knew what to do and that, like Rumsfeld and Iraq, “It might take six days, it might take six weeks, but it won’t take more than six months.” Americans categorically refused to take seriously the situation as described by the French, because we did not have our eyes on the Vietnamese but only the two Communists regimes that were supporting them. Americans were engaged in a Cold War, not a tepid tea party.

  1. I wouldn’t want the gop vote on anything important….who knows what kind of fake garbage they would pull. It does not sound safe to me.

    1. @Stone Men if that person deserves it…yes. The gop have made a mockery of our government and country over the last 4 years. A lot of gop members need to be kicked out due to their hate of democracy. How can a country govern its people if the gop lives in an alternate reality? The gop is swirling the toilet bowl.

    2. @Ivy Reyff Listen to yourself, The gop? Nancy is going to try to reverse an election that was counted and recounted and came up with the same winner. The election was certified. Laughable. That is not democracy…But it’s the gop. Goodbye moron.You are a partisan fool.

  2. But think about all of the poor military contractors whose revenue would plummet to below 10 billion dollars if we engaged in less wars

    1. The wars only benefits the company who make money from it. What about all the country who are devastated by private contractors, what are they doing in all does country? There is not a single journalist looking u to that. For private contractors its only profitable when a country is at war.

    1. @David Eby Back in 2018, t’rump held a press conference and he said he was thinking of ordering bombs on Iraq. Then an aide quickly corrected him and said, “No, you mean Iran!” And he said, “oh yeah, Iran, I meant Iran.”

      But I’m sorry….you were trying to make a point? 😅😂

    2. @Ro G Back in 2008 Barry and Creepy Joe mortar attacked a wedding party and killed 37 civilians!!!!! OOPS! So….I’m sorry you had a point? Hahahahahaha

  3. All presidential candidates must be required to conduct a psychiatric capacity examination, to show they are mentally fit for the job.

  4. They better do something before the Grand Old Party of Lies and Sedition takes over again and installs their favorite dictator in the WH.

    1. @ThE DuCk so someone does watch JK? That explains a lot. And I don’t try not to get cancelled, it’s kind of a badge of honor 👍

    2. Oh…boy…the brainwashed and misinformed regurgitators are out. You have been played once again by the cons of congress! Democrats! Look up history! Look at the truth! Face it! You got played! We all did!

    3. @Michael Wilson You silly foreign goobers are so predictable with your rhetoric…. but I am glad you gout your panties in a bunch. lol

  5. We need to work together w other countries We also need to work together w all races of people in our own country

    1. Carol Pitcher
      Working with other countries in what way? Are you talking about the Federal Government or individuals? You can not compromise the economy,
      the US Citizens rights, the defense of this country in every area, our lifestyle or in general our Constitution with the desire to work with other countries. As for working with all races
      of people in our country are you speaking of individuals or our Federal Government?

  6. it’s hard to trust some of the trump supporters in Congress from leaking sensitive information to the ex president that we can’t trust or who he’ll give information to.

    1. Correct…BEFORE we build up a secure perimeter fence around the Capitol, first we have to ensure all the rats are on the outside… Clean out the traitorous House & Senate members that aided the sedition on Jan 6th first, then establish new security measures.

    2. Ray F you evidently missed the plumbing problem democrats have had over the centuries when it comes to leaks. Speaking of leaks I hear
      air leaking from your head.

  7. If Trump had his way, he would have had all American’s loving countries with dictators like Russia.

    1. Only A fool could say Trump wasn’t the best President ever! The only President to NOT Start a War! Watch Walter in charge! WR is inevitable! Watch n learn how he screws up!

    2. @Veracity North you are like many slow learning leftist! Naive to reality! Trump! Kept peace guru Strength and an iron fist! The only president in our lifetime to have NO WAR in his presidency! China Joe will screw it ALL UP! Just Watch! LOL

  8. A question for every member of the Congress: Are you ready to accept the responsibility vested upon your shoulders by the American people.
    Or are you OK with waking up one morning to find out that the President of the United States threw and your voters you into a war you never knew about?

  9. Not one repulican voted for this bill.
    70 procent of the republicans like support this bill.
    Only republicans at the high places said no to this very very important bill for all Americans

  10. Agreed Sen. Kaine. The declaration of war needs to be a multi-minded and well thought through decision. The USA people remain committed to world peace, never war decided by one man.

    1. If new and unproven house builders keep coming in to fill vacated trade positions because perfect builders of houses have term limits (a limit meant to weed out bad players), then forever will substandard builders keep coming in, not only the good ones.
      It isn’t a term limit system that needs to be brought in, but an effective procedure that removes those with blatantly obvious bad intent. There are lots of obvious ones constantly in the news. One example at city level is Flint, Michigan’s mayor(?) who purposely and for minimal cutting of cost, changed the drinking water supply source, poisoning it’s poor with a downstream connection to a river used for industrial waste disposal. There was minimal effort made to filter the water. (information source: the renowned Michael Moore, a resident of Flint)

  11. Remember when shortly after WW1 a special international council was put together in hopes of evading future wars and to talk things out instead of killing one another? Remember how that council fell apart?

  12. We have needed this power returned to Congress since I was a young man and now I am nearly an old man.

  13. I HOPE THIS WAS EXPLAINED, CLEAR ENOUGH FOR DUMPSTERS TO UNDERSTAND…THEY HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE TRUTH…TELL THEM, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP AND PEOPLE LIKE TRUMP…WAR POWERS WAS ALWAYS IN THE HANDS OF CONGRESS TILL BUSH JR. WHICH WAS A MISSTAKE…..CONGRESS TAKE BACK THE POWER….
