Congress needs to get their asses in gear.

America is not ready for another war in the Middle East.

Stop it in its tracks before it goes any further.

Stop blaming and hating on each other and do your jobs.

If they cannot do their jobs, then maybe they should be sent home?

They need to stop this nonsense and war-mongering right now.

They need to put a leash on this reckless president.

They need to follow our Constitution and the laws of this country.

We don't need a cover-up and we don't need a war.

They make a ton of $$ during conflicts plus their approval ratings go up so they can continue stealing everything from us and giving it to themselves and other rich.

I have no doubt Trump will embrace President Obama's opinion that as long as there are no boots on the ground the War Powers Act doesn't apply. There could be an air war over Iran for as long as Trump is in office.

There will be no AUMF requested. That era has passed.
