All over the news tonight, Trump has bombed the Iranian nuclear sites. 3 in total. Is this the beginning of our involvement in World War 3? Trump appears delusional to me in his social media post that now is the time for peace, after bombing Iran.....
Calls for Trump's impeachment gather momentum as president falls back on War Powers Act
President Donald Trump's decision to launch airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities without congressional approval sparked swift condemnation on Saturday, with leading lawmakers declaring the move a violation of the Constitution and grounds for impeachment.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was among the most vocal critics, warning that the president's actions could entangle the United States in a prolonged conflict.

"The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," she wrote in a post on social media.

"He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

Ocasio-Cortez's comments came hours after Trump announced that U.S. B-2 bombers targeted key Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.

The president described the strikes as a "historic moment" for the U.S., Israel, and the world, and said Iran must "now agree to end this war."

The administration has defended the operation as a necessary measure to safeguard national security and support Israel's campaign against Iran's military capabilities.

But critics argue that Trump's unilateral action sidestepped Congress's constitutional role in declaring war.

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., echoed Ocasio-Cortez's concerns, urging an immediate vote on a War Powers Resolution to restrict further military engagement.

"Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress," Khanna said.

"We need to immediately return to DC and vote to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war."

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called the strikes "reckless and unconstitutional," while Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., warned that Trump's actions risk igniting a wider regional conflict.

Even some conservatives expressed unease about the president's move.

"No president can wage war unilaterally without Congress," Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said, backing Khanna's resolution to reassert legislative authority over military action.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Impeach the Donald! We shouldn't want another country meddling in our politics like Israel through AIPAC does.

If it wasn't already, this makes it clear that Israel owns Trump. It's almost enough to make me believe the conspiracy theorists who claim that Jeffrey Epstein was a MOSSAD agent gathering "compromat" to turn male U.S. politicians into puppets of Israel.

With Russia’s claim that “someone” will give Iran nuclear warheads, let’s summarize the situation as it stands right now. Fallout likely includes:

1) Strengthened Iranian hardliners

2) Proxies attacking US and Israeli targets

3) Deepened Iran-Russia-China ties

4) Nuclear weapons development accelerated (according to Medvedev)

5) Global economic disruption if Iran is serious about shutting down the Strait of Hormuz

6) Our global reputation is in the toilet. The long-term ramifications of the Trump presidencies will not be overcome.

7) This kind of flashpoint could drag the region and hegemonic powers into open conflict- WW3.

Poor MAGA voters coming down with TDS. They thought the Battle for Los Angeles was where the war would be fought, and the war they signed up for.

Well, it looks like Trump is thinking about regime change:

Impeach him! An impeachment will force us to come to terms with how our government has been taken over by a certain lobby that owes its allegiance to another country. It probably won't happen because too many democrats owe their allegiance to that lobby.

You’re not lyin’. AIPAC funds candidates Democratic primaries to unseat progressive, pro-Palestinian incumbents like Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman. I don’t know where I read it, but AIPAC focuses its efforts on Democrats because they have Republicans in their pockets. I can’t see a way forward with regard to how we can disengage ourselves from Israel’s complete and total control over our country. We’ve spent trillions in the Middle East, and I’m of the mind that it’s folly. I would’ve preferred seeing that directed toward debt reduction and domestic spending.
