Conservatives believe the Constitution to be a living document. That way they can change it to whatever suits their interests at the moment.
Ether you are being super sarcastic or you've forgotten that that's what conservatives always accused liberals of. I keep hearing echoes of original intent ringing in my ears.

Oh no sarcasm at all. Just like I'm extremely certain that Sanders would have said the exact same thing here if a Democrat were in the White House.

That is the most succinct explanation for the derp levels of CCC's I have ever read. It is interesting to me that Compassionate, Conservative, Christian, only needs Politics added on to get CCCP.

OMG, what a perfect shirt that would be to troll some of Donny's upcoming MAGA Neuremberg events.

Just: Compassionate Conservative Christian Politician across the front. With a Trump face.

You know if you look hard enough on the internet you will always find a good laugh!!
The word -- idiot comes to mind!!


Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Thursday that should couldn’t “think of anything dumber” than allowing Congress to authorize war, seemingly unaware that the U.S. Constitution specifically gives the legislative branch that exact power.

Ahead of Thursday’s House vote on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s military actions against Iran, Sanders—now a Fox News contributor—appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss the president’s handling of the Iran crisis.

“Sarah, the president yesterday said the U.S. is ready to embrace peace,” Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt said, referencing Trump’s speech on Wednesday. “He's calling for more economic sanctions on Iran’s already struggling economy. He did say that Iran is standing down, so why is the House putting up this resolution to try to limit the president's powers?”

“You know, I can’t think of anything dumber than allowing Congress to take over our foreign policy,” Sanders huffed. “They can’t seem to manage to get much of anything done. I think the last thing we want to do is push powers into Congress’ hands and take them away from the president.”

She went on to claim that Democrats who don’t seem to understand “that America is safer now” that former Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani is dead are “completely naive,” adding that she doesn't want to see them “take power away from President Trump and put it into their own hands.”

“I don’t think anything could be worse for America than that,” she concluded.
Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, meanwhile, specifically states that Congress has the power “to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water, to raise and support armies and... to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.”

Furthermore, the War Powers Act of 1973, which Congress is looking to pass a resolution reaffirming this week, asserts that only Congress can declare war and the president needs to seek Congress’s approval in the case of sustained military action. The act was passed in the shadow of the Vietnam War in an effort to prevent other drawn-out overseas wars.

Sarah thanks men for the refill when they blow in her ear. Women like her are only good for sex and helping you move furniture.

Does this mean she has hit peak dumb? This is pretty disappointing, I am sure that when they hired her the Administration has expected to get many more years of dumb out of her. Maybe the House should try subpoenaing her. I bet that would inspire her to new levels of dumb.

I lost it at Nuremberg. But the difference is, even his photoshopped inauguration crowds were smaller than a Nuremberg rally.

I thought for sure our conservative friends would be rushing to this thread to discuss how mistaken she was.

If they don’t reply then it’s like it never happened. It’s not like they are going to shit on one of their own, especially when she’s defending their cult leader.

I just wonder how little self respect one must have to defend or ignore such things in order protect some person they’ve likely never met and who couldn’t care less about them.

The drone program under Obama and the strike that killed Soleimani are not apt comparisons. The U.S. has been carrying out drone warfare in the region since the administration of George W. Bush, Obama’s predecessor. Although such warfare has always been controversial, the fallout over the killing of Soleimani is the result of his status in the Iranian government. As Reuters reported, “Major General Qassem Soleimani was the second most powerful man in Iran. He answered only to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.” His killing, per Reuters, “struck at the heart” of leadership in Tehran.


In March 2018, Trump revoked an Obama executive order requiring an annual disclosure of civilian deaths resulting from drone strikes. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism also reported that the number of drone strikes ratcheted up during Trump’s first year in office, doubling in Somalia and tripling in Yemen.

Wait, you really don't get how assassinating leaders is different than other military strikes?
Consider a moment how different the public would have taken the missile attacks against US troops if instead of targeting the troops they had attacked VP Pence. Do you think we would be deescalating if they had killed the Vice President, or do you think we would now be in an all out war?
While we would like to think that a life is a life, the reality is that you go after the leaders of a nation and you have crossed a whole different line.

Killing high ranking public officials of other sovereign nations is much, much different.

Imagine the US response if Iran assassinated the Secretary of Defense.
