    He’s been desperately trying to start a war ever since Zelensky told him Ukraine has suspended election over being at war and he’s failing miserably. What a loser.

    The Peace President, everyone.

    Seems interested in annexing Canada, Greenland and Panama. Going to war with Venezuela. Going to war with our OWN CITIES. And restarting the stupid “drug wars”.

    Nobel Peace Prize, please!

    Mr. Trump’s move to formally deem his campaign against drug cartels as an active armed conflict means he is cementing his claim to extraordinary wartime powers, legal specialists said.

    This here. His whole rhetoric about enemies within & without is about this. Or, as another headline reads:

      Theyll certainly overlap the two things. Ice agents literally repelled from helicopters to raid an apartment building in Chicago recently, allegedly because of Tren De Aragua members being there. Next theyll say they need to declare martial law and sweep the cities

    Congress is the branch of the government that can declare war, not the President.

        To be fair “terrorism” is always a euphemism for “enemies of the state”. The vast majority of actual terrorism on civilian populations in the last century has been perpetrated by state actors, and the majority of that by the US.

    Fuck yeah! We’re finally starting a War on Drugs. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? We have to depend on this orange baffoon to come up with like a really smart idea. SAD!

    We’ve been sliding this way since the US “police action” in Vietnam. The pre-authorization for Bush to go to war with Iraq was Congress’ big final step in abdication of its war declaring duties. Probably won’t see Congress ever be required to declare another war.
