Party of small government everybody. If they didn’t have double standards and lies, they wouldn’t have any standards or things to talk about.
Getting rid of congress would make the government smaller
Why is every word in the title beginning with a capital letter? This is an eyesore and annoying to read. Only the first word of a sentence, names, months and days, some abbreviations and “I” should be written with a capital letter. As explained here.
Of all the things even vaguely related to this post to be upset with, you chose to comment on title casing?
Because it is a title. Duh.
You mean like in this post that you yourself submitted?
Lol, touché
It’s the American standard for titles I think.
It’s common to capitalize words in a title (other than exception words like “of”). It actually says this in your link.
I hate it
Mike Johnson is fucking spooky. I’ve been saying this for a few years now, when his Covenant Eyes usage made news.
He is a true believer, he’s on a mission from god. He’s smart. He will not care about the people crushed by the machine, as that is the fruit of their depravity in his worldview.
Watch this motherfucker. Trump and Vance are motivated by greed and power. You need to look to fundamentalist Islamic leaders for a similar mindset to Johnson.
Or Netanyahu
Hey everyone the Constitution is unconstitutional!
-MAGA Mike
That tracks. They treat the Constitution the same way they treat the Bible. What is written there doesn’t matter. It’s not a thing that actually exists but a concept, and that concept “says” whatever they want it to say.
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Don’t worry everyone, the democrats will do absolutely nothing to stop them. They are complicit in all of this.
Not all of them, and being a defeatist crybaby helps no one but the nazi scumbags.
Do better, unless of course you’re a nazi scumbag; if that’s the case help yourself to a giant refreshing glass of bleach.
They can’t even do anything. Everything in Federal is one sided until Midterms… unless Donald gets rid of that too.
They could have voted to impeach recently, instead they chose to normalize the president not needing approval to do acts of war.
And before that there was the budget.
And before that they censured Al Green.
And before that they approved Trump’s nominees.
But yeah, Democrats are totally powerless to do anything. I’m sure that will convince people they’re worth their time.
Imagine being so sycophantic, so subservient, so blindly and absolutely loyal to any authority, that you have no shame about it, at all. When some “Man” shows up in a suit or uniform, you immediately drop to your knees.
And in Johnson’s case, he drops to his knees for more reasons than one. No shame in that, but his party and constituents don’t like that…
Don’t worry, Mike’s son monitors his porn consumption.
He should, for a change, read and try to understand the Constitution he has sworn to uphold. Or, if he is to stupid for that, have someone slowly explain it to him.
It can’t be “unconstitutional” when it is right in the Constitution.
The reason he’s saying wrong things is not due to lack of understanding. It’s because he’s a power-mad liar.
He doesn’t know what the Constitution is, like he doesn’t know what the Declaration of Independence is as well. He even stated boycotting is illegal, and you shouldn’t protest against Israel.
Trump cock sucker sucks more of Trump’s cock. Fucking cool man. Dems remain nonexistent. I used to think the ‘we need a do over’ crowd was a bit dramatic but more every day I’m finding it a hard point to argue. These fucking ignorant narcissists just soiling and eroding what our country stands for and the fact that none of our elected officials are doing anything infuriates the shit out of me. Yes I do see the benefit in Judicial actually standing up to a lot of this and celebrate their efforts, but it sdoing nothing to stop them from trying over and over and over.
Imagine being so cucked that you give away your already incredibly narrow and ever shrinking powers. What a fucking buffoon.
“I don’t want to have to take a position on record about my support for disastrous forever wars.”
Well, the War Powers Act is unconstitutional - but in the other direction. Deploying military force requires a declaration of war, which requires congressional approval, but the War Powers Act circumvents that by pretending that using euphemisms to describe military actions instead of calling it war makes it different, somehow.
And that’s kind of a problem. As far as I see, this use of the war powers act is entirely consistent with previous uses. Trumps not wrong for once.
Maybe the part about not bothering to inform Congress because “they’ll see it in the news”.
Our outrage seems to be mainly that he chose poorly, or maybe even that we haven’t been conditioned to agree with it. Iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons for years(decades?) and I certainly agree the world becomes a more dangerous, unstable place as more countries obtain nuclear weapons. Sanctions haven’t been working, but you combine this with Israel’s assassinations and it should be effective at stopping their program.
Of course I don’t know that anyone tried negotiating from a point of respect for their sovereignty nor was this in response to hostilities against our Interests or any urgent threat (that we’re aware of). You can’t just bomb people you disagree with, but this really seems consistent with previous administrations and the only difference is the propaganda war to manipulate support
Trumps not wrong for once.
He’s definitely wrong morally, constitutionally, and strategically just not legally, per how the courts have (mis)interpreted the constitution.
Sanctions haven’t been working
Well, in order to work, they’d have to have a coherent objective.
They did work at bringing Iran to the negotiating table, which led to Obama’s Iran deal. The only problem being that Obama made it, so Trump had to hate it. The only thing the US actually wants from Iran is for it to be an enemy the president can bomb to look tough.
it should be effective at stopping their program.
The program that we have no evidence actually existed, that is. Certainly, if they weren’t actively persuing one before, they’d be mad not to now. How else could they stop the frequent, random unprovoked aggression from the US?
I mean yeah, I didn’t claim this action was morally or even strategically acceptable, just that it seems consistent with the way past administrations have used the same power.
So like a special military operation
Exactly.

Mike johnson sounds like he’s glazing
How the hell can these people call themselves conservative. What kind of conservative calls for greater executive power?
Conservative means “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.
Funny, that’s the same for fascists.
They’re regressive and refuse to admit it.
They’re royalists but don’t want to face reality, they want a king but saying that is about the least American thing you could possibly do.
scrolls lemmy
reads headline and moves on
A few posts down and scrolls up realizing it was posted to politics not theOnion
And I want Mike Johnson’s balls removed with a falling brick. Pretty please?
He does not use them - it would be a waste of time. Like removing the tires off a PT Cruiser.
