Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is “absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Ocasio-Cortez ripped the president’s action on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

On the other hand, Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, came to Trump’s side and wrote on X, “As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS. Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

    She keeps doing dumb things (add pronouns to profile, remove them. keep using “latinx”). And sadly I think she’s the best we’ve got. Never trust a Christian. At least she seems to be anti-billionaire, which is better than Mayor Pete.

    On the other hand, it would be funny if he got impeached for the one thing he did right.

        I’m a logical thinker, no team, solving logic puzzles for 30 years. Everybody else is wrong about most of what they believe. I do what I can.

        We can’t allow another NK to happen. But a true leader would take out their evil leadership - the population hates him.

          Then Congress should declare war per the constitution. Or do we not care about due process as long as it hurts the people we think are evil?

            Every president is doing this. That’s why it was a bad statement. And with our congress being so shitty, I’m more concerned about actual effects on the world right now, legality has been irrelevant for 50+ years. People don’t see how close evil is to winning. The entire world could be like NK in a few decades if trends continue. This is not a game.

              And you don’t see the two as connected? A fucking mazing.
