Though I hate to say it, in principle the Democrats are right. The president can't just be dropping bombs when he feels like it. BUT, and this is a very important BUT, Congress has not authorized the President to go to war since 1942. So seems a little odd that all of a sudden they would like to reclaim a power that they haven't used in literally a generation.

Also another BUT. I forget which law it is, but the President can do a military action if there is an imminent danger to the U.S. or its assets. And Pompeo has been going around the last couple days talking about they did it because of an imminent danger. So legally they are covered.

This anon would like Congress to be the only one who can declare military action, like pre 1942. But in 2020, this anon sees Congress as an enemy of the United States, so we can't really trust them with that power.

Oh, constitutional crisis.

I was at the party a couple months ago with a HuffPost write and Reuters writer. Not a journalist in the least, but they were friends of a friend. Trump came up, I was asked what I thought. I said, "I liked him." The whole room's jaw dropped. When pressed as to why I like him, I played the idiot. "well, I don't know, I just do."

They allowed to me live and didn't bother me about politics the rest of the night. In fact everyone enjoyed themselves. But if I started pointing out Democrat faults, probably would've left the party with a minimum of a black eye.
