Congress Asks "Pretty Please" for War Powers, But Trump Just Gives Them War Words
By Vixen Vile, Published 9 hours ago
Oh, how quaint, the notion that Congress might actually have a say in the grand, bombastic chess game of war. President Trump, in his infinite wisdom, decided that Iran's nuclear sites needed a little taste of American thunder without so much as a nod to the esteemed lawmakers. They're clutching their pearls, whispering about "constitutional authority" like it's some secret society ritual only they understand.
The sheer audacity to bypass Congress, the very institution meant to keep such executive whims in check! Trump, in his magnanimous decision-making, has probably decided that airstrikes are the new diplomatic handshake. Who needs a vote when you've got veto power and a Twitter account? The War Powers Resolution might as well be toilet paper in the White House bathroom for all the good it's doing.
And let's not forget, Congress, in its infinite patience, has been reduced to begging for their slice of the war pie. They're like the kid in the schoolyard who's told they can play only if the cool kid lets them. How noble, how statesmanlike, to watch them plead for something that's supposedly their right by law. Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches, popcorn in hand, waiting to see if Trump's next move involves a nuclear selfie.
