Republican lawmaker on U.S. bombs against Iran: ‘This is not constitutional’

Sen. John Cornyn was one Republican who supported the president on X, saying, “President Trump made the courageous and correct decision to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat. God Bless the USA. Thank you to our extraordinary military and our indomitable POTUS. This is what leadership on the world stage looks like.”

Yeah.

he would tonguefuck trumps leaky asshole with equal enthusiasm if he had done the opposite
- Or we can kill all the sycophants.
- You have quite a way with words. You brought the image to life and now I can't unsee it.

THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YOU INEFFECTUAL, CROCODILE-TEAR CRYING, LYING PIECE OF SHIT! YOU COULD INTRODUCE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT RIGHT FUCKING NOW IF YOU ACTUALLY GAVE A DAMN!

Even if he’s impeached I’m not confident he’d have to step down. Good just in case though.
- Impeachment is the first step. It’s a vote by the House. Then you have a trial in the Senate. There is no way he’d ever step down, so he’d have to be removed that way. It’s a simple majority in the House and two thirds in the Senate.
- That's not the point. The point is that Rep. Thomas Massie is personally in a position to do something about it himself, and needs to shut the fuck up and put his money where his mouth is. As a member of the House of Representatives, there is absolutely nothing stopping him from unilaterally filing articles of impeachment. He doesn't need consensus, he doesn't need the support of party leadership, he doesn't need anybody's permission. He can just do it. Right now.
  So will he actually do it, or is he just yet another Trump-ass-licking fascist shitstain with zero credibility?

Y'all gotta read more than the headline.

Rep. Tom Massie has been the key most Libertarian Congressperson that consistently gives strong Ron Paul circa 2009 energy. He's been a constant headache for Trump because he doesn't ever like Trump's policy positions for not being insane enough. The lone No vote against the antisemitism resolution just for show.

Yeah, he's a bad person with a few good points that make him stand out.
He was critical of the patriot act, thinks medial marijuana patients should be allowed to to buy guns, was one of the only two Nays on the Take it Down act, etc.
But he basically thinks the FDA, EPA, and Federal Reserve shouldn't exist, thinks lynching shouldn't be a hate crime, is against the ACA, doesn't like disaster relief, thought it was wrong to imprison an admitted unregistered foreign agent(spy), thought Rittenhouse should have emptied the clip, is a hardline anti-abortionist, etc. e. And on and on it goes.
- He also doesn't think billionaires should pay taxes. He is a nutjob. Ignore him.
- I mean, that's simply statistics. The dude votes on 100 bills and isn't simply following the party line, a few will not be votes for stupidity or hate.
- The GOP cares that he isn't "loyal" and still gets elected and Trump endorsements when he is clearly going to win anyway. That's about it.

I'm sure Collins will show great concern.

Remove Trump now!

They only care enough to ensure reelection

Eisenhower, Reagan, Bushes, and now Trump.

Fuckery in the Middle-East always traces back to Republican Presidents. Why is this guy surprised?

It’s a war crime

We (Americans) don’t get punished for war crimes. Those are only enforced on countries without leverage. This is why it’s so important to keep leverage (big beautiful bombs) out of the hands of anti-Christian dictatorships. Also, our supreme court ruled that he can do anything in the context of being president. I’m bummed that he had to go to war over low approval ratings but no better target than Iran if you’re going to do it. It’s a bigger country than Gaza while being equally shit and Israel will absorb much of the short term retaliation. I’m curious to see how China reacts.
- Trump's trade wars have destroyed a lot of America's leverage. Your military was about all you had left, and that's going to be tied up in Iran for who knows how long now.
It was a mostly peaceful bombing 😘

Gosh, I thought you guys gave him a pass on all kinds of other illegal shit. What did you expect?

So... He'll vote to impeach our mad king then, right...? He's illegally attacking another country, endangering American lives, and escalating world instability. He'll vote to impeach and remove Trump, right??

He might, but not for the reasons you want.
Tom Massie is a hard-right libertarian, and Trump doesn't like him because he usually fairly obstructionist to Trump goals. Often because they're not extreme enough, or not austere enough.

Crazy how this keeps happening

Well, here's a clue that the entire Republican Party could really use - nothing that Taco has been doing has been Constitutional.

Well, yes. Now when are you doing the right thing, and call for impeachment proceedings?

And by the way, any impeachment process should include a stern warning for JD not to even think about any kind of pardons for Trump, or get impeached in turn.

It's official, US is a dictatorship 😢

why say that if you're not going to do anything besides fold inline?

I'd like to see more opposition to this from democrats than I have from republicans.

You people can't even read your Constitution.

The new thing is to say they didn't fully read the bill/constitution when they agreed to it

Massie is wrong (again). The president has rights to take actions against foreign nations. These are immediate and brief in nature. Like bombing a nuclear weapons facility. For additional action over time he needs Congress.
