He bombed Iran

I could not watch his 10 p.m. justification of it last night. Could you?

This is how the diapered felon who rapes announced an act of war, on Truth Social with CAPITAL LETTERS and exclamation points!!!

My God.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter?”

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE?”

What. The. Everloving Fuck even IS this. Oh wait. It is this:

In the last few days, self-appointed military experts have taken to social media to reassure us that the president does not have the power to declare war, that that power rests with Congress and so we should all breath a little easier over the prospect of what, in fact, actually happened. But, as this Al Jazeera article says, the truth of who gets to pul the trigger, as it were, is more complicated:

Presidents have the power to order the military to respond to attacks and imminent threats. Beyond that, their war-making powers are constrained by Congress. Article II empowers them to direct military operations once Congress has authorised a war. They are responsible for mobilising the military under the guidelines of lawmakers.

That said, successive presidents have used the ability to direct the military on an emergency basis to carry out attacks that they frame as defensive or in response to threats.

Then, too, this is Donald J. Trump who does what he wants when he wants, the laws be damned. So if his birthday party/military parade was a bust, the lil’ fella got his big war. His country’s economy is out of control, there is unrest in the streets, and U.S. lives will be lost. We learned absolutely nothing from our last military foray into the Middle East.

As of now (Saturday evening), Iran isn’t reporting much damage. This is war, though, and it’s difficult to know the truth (other than we know we won’t get it from our own leaders). From the BBC:

So there’s yet another campaign promise tossed overboard. How do you like him now, MAGAts?

So, can we impeach him now?
