      Who knows. Trump seems to bomb and not tell until he randomly decides to call in to a talk show somewhere.

      Be nice if there was a refusal to carry out acts of war without a declaration of war or a pressing need of self defense

          There were things like a congressional authorization of the use of military force. We don’t even have that

            Turns out all you need to do to ignore the Constitution is change your word choice.

        It’s because the American citizens in the military that carry out these atrocities are also horrible assholes.

        Actually this was a secret CIA operation which already happened two weeks ago and we were not supposed to know about but Dementia Donny couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

        So we really do not know what else might be going on.

        I mean he literally just had the military bomb some random Nigerians for a “media distraction from #pedotrump”. Let’s see if they keep just following orders now. I’m guessing they probably will.
