There was no intel I am aware of that this guy was plotting any direct events against the USA. Same tired Republican bullshit that led us back into Iraq in 2004.

If I am wrong about the intel, share it with the House Majority Leader.

I honestly think if we make it through this as a country, Nancy Pelosi's name will be at the top of the list of people who need to be credited and thanked in every history book published hereafter.

Thought for sure somebody else would be better. A few have had the decency and maturity to admit they called that one completely wrong. Which is good. It’ll be an icy day in Hell before we see any republi-CONS get anywhere near there.

History will NOT be kind.

The answer is as plain as the US Constitution, which reserves for Congress the power to decide whether to go to war.

I don’t mean some kind of mix up. The Republicans have off the normal since even Nixon. Rush created a world post Nixon in which everything became one side against the other.

We have got Trump, but it’s not our fault. It’s guy like Rush. You cannot create a class of haters without day to day hate radio.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-congress-has-a-moral-and-legal-obligation-to-prevent-war-with-iran

Congress now has a moral and legal obligation to reassert its power to stop this war and protect innocent people from horrific consequences.

We have two immediate options:

1. Vote on a War Powers Resolution, which requires Trump to attain Congressional approval.

2.
