The Peace President, everyone.
Seems interested in annexing Canada, Greenland and Panama. Going to war with Venezuela. Going to war with our OWN CITIES. And restarting the stupid “drug wars”.
Nobel Peace Prize, please!
All I hear is something about the Epstein files
I thought the war on drugs was over, and the drugs won.
I fought the drugs and the drugs won.
Mr. Trump’s move to formally deem his campaign against drug cartels as an active armed conflict means he is cementing his claim to extraordinary wartime powers, legal specialists said.
This here. His whole rhetoric about enemies within & without is about this. Or, as another headline reads:
Lawmaker Sounds Alarm: Trump Plotting Fake Crisis to Scrap 2028 Election and Stay in Power
Theyll certainly overlap the two things. Ice agents literally repelled from helicopters to raid an apartment building in Chicago recently, allegedly because of Tren De Aragua members being there. Next theyll say they need to declare martial law and sweep the cities
Can’t hold elections during wartimes! Or at least that’s what he heard from somewhere…
Congress is the branch of the government that can declare war, not the President.
Except in MAGA world everything is made up and the rules don’t matter.
MAGA = Republican. No difference.
That used to be true. Then the early 2000s happened and Congress effectively signed away that authority.
The US jas deployed a lot of troops for avtive combat across the world on the past 80 years despite Congress not declaring a single war since Pearl Harbor. This sort of naked power grab was inevitable.
Never forget the Patriot Act
too bad we can’t hold any elections while we’re at war
While this is true for other countries, such as Ukraine, it isn’t true for America
cant pull out all the stops on militarization without a de-facto declaration of war.
the war on drugs, now with more war!
The war on drugs, now with more “terrorists”, because words don’t mean shit any more!
To be fair “terrorism” is always a euphemism for “enemies of the state”. The vast majority of actual terrorism on civilian populations in the last century has been perpetrated by state actors, and the majority of that by the US.
One groups terrorist is another groups hero
It works both ways unfortunately

Fuck yeah! We’re finally starting a War on Drugs. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? We have to depend on this orange baffoon to come up with like a really smart idea. SAD!
Then who was drugs?
Don junior.

Who was Epstein. What was drugs.
We’ve been sliding this way since the US “police action” in Vietnam. The pre-authorization for Bush to go to war with Iraq was Congress’ big final step in abdication of its war declaring duties. Probably won’t see Congress ever be required to declare another war.
