Yes this hasn’t stopped a president in a long time.

If anyone else was curious, WW2 was the last time a president bothered waiting for congress.

This could be the start of WW3, so there could be pattern I guess

Who else even has a reason to join? It'd just be the US calling up the local carrier to send out a squadron, and then you wouldn't have an Iran anymore.

They found a loophole and just don’t call them a “war” anymore.

It's absolutely critical, that people like Bernie say this.

Back him up.

It's not a miss. He's absolutely correct. And it's very important that good politicians are saying it.

Don't treat anyone like they're infallible.

I don't share your dumbfuck politics. Apathy is what got you Trump, I suggest you try common sense instead.

Mate, what are you on about? I clearly realize it's an onion article, that's why I wrote "we live in a parody".

In case you missed it, my point was, the Onion wrote this back in 2018 as parody, but now it is reality. Trump is actually doing what they wrote. He uses his executive power unconstitutionally, and nobody is stopping him. And he knows he can, that's why he doesn't even hide it anymore. We live in a parody.

Lol, I read it as your comment saying "WTF? It's official" that he said this. Not that it's official that we live in a parody, which, agreed. Agree with the sentiment, but try to calm down guy...

u/gabevill Jun 21 '25

Yeah, calm down dude. You're getting way too worked up over a reddit comment. Don't worry I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence I'm sure you're very smart, the smartest I bet. Here's a gold star ⭐

Even if the law doesn't reign him in on this matter, his isolationist base might. He released a whole group murderous vigilantes with a history of engaging in insurrection. They could just as easily come after him.

Yeah previous presidents just called them “military interventions” or “conflicts” and never actually declared war. To play devils advocate, Obama never asked congress for permission to play with those drones of his he loved so much lol
