It should be added. Republicans could care less though.

As soon as Pelosi revokes the huge authorizations she gave him. She can't call back her blank check now.

Hope she enjoys the bed she made :^)))

Now even Boris Johnson is telling Trump that targeting Iran Cultural sites would break international law. That says a lot about how stupid and wrong it would be.

But we were told that just makes Trump double down on the idea.

No you were told being hysterical and retarded, as our media is, makes him do that. It's feeding the troll. He likes their cries. It isn't difficult to differentiate between the two. I know you can do it if you try :^)

I dont care. He needs to be called out. Attacking cultural sites is a war crime and a crime against humanity. History cannot be replaced.

There is nothing he can say or do that Republicans would call for him to resign. They care more about not having primary challenges.

A thirty year old with no political experience could primary a Republican senator and if they speak out against him he would endorse their opponent and the base would vote for them like sheep.

He's not technically violating those since he isn't declaring war in a formal sense. We've never actually given any president too much grief for deciding to, say, topple the Libyan government or deciding to topple the Iraqi government.

Alex Jones - Senator.

Quite a few anti-Trump Republicans have managed to hold onto their seats. They have to balance their criticisms with a degree of collaboration though given Trump's approval ratings among the Republican electoral base. And I don't think the voters are all just sheep. It's lazy to applaud successful politicians you like when they shape or capitalize on public opinon but then decry public opinion as wrong whenever it goes against your own notions.

He's a 73 year old man and the president. Next to the fact that the only person making him do anything is himself, and the fact that he's been behaving like this for decades, the reason behind it is irrelevant. It's not normal behaviour.

He looked quite hot when he was younger.

I don't think you're too familiar with the internal politics of the GOP. Beyond that, calling the voters sheep is still a lazy cop-out that absolves candidates who lost to Trump of all responsibility for not engaging voters.

Your Europrotests didn't stop the establishment from going to war. Stop the war stopped nothing. The media marched in lockstep with Uncle Sam and blindly repeated what it was told. The public followed. You must not remember what it was like at the time for Libya either.

I don't remember impeaching Bush or Obama because they initiated military interventions without a formal declaration of war from Congress. We had a decent heap of protesting under Bush but I do wonder quite a bit at the sincerity of the anti-war left given that they vanished a few years later when we toppled another government and went back to Iraq.

He was almost right about chemicals in the water turning the freakin' frogs gay. Except they're transgender frogs.

If engaging voters requires hailing Trump and following his agenda lock step then are those voters worth engaging?

Fun fact: the whole study which that is a reference to was made by a quack who was quickly fired after it was revealed his conclusions didn't make sense.

He also threatened people over email.

He's also got remarkably thin skin and a short temper, he doesn't like being called out. He very transparently wishes for adoration and cheers, not to snicker and jeer at the media. Sure, others around him might, but the Donald himself? Definitely not.

We needed Martin Sheen from The West Wing but instead got Martin Sheen from The Dead Zone.

Not even remotely the point or true.
