Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on U.S. Bombing of Iran:
“The strikes on Iran, ordered by President Trump and executed without congressional authorization, mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict in the Middle East.
“Military strikes will not…

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.

President Trump sending U.S. troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of our Constitution. pic.twitter.com/pqzAeS4K19

This is a violation of the Constitution that is risking innocent lives.
We do not need another deadly, endless war.
Congress must act immediately to rein in Trump. https://t.co/g5JqDOrKdh
— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@RepPressley) June 22, 2025
The authority to declare war belongs solely to Congress. Trump’s unconstitutional and escalatory strikes risk drawing US troops and the American people—who are overwhelmingly opposed—into another forever war. Congress must immediately exercise our duty to restrain this President.
— Rep. Pramila Jayapal (@RepJayapal) June 22, 2025
Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…
Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.
— Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@RepJasmine) June 22, 2025
They are decrying the fact that the strikes were “executed without congressional authorization,” but there are plenty of precedents for that from Obama and Biden, and authorization in the War Powers Resolution:
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires that the president notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying American troops if a formal declaration of war has not already been declared. The resolution also requires that the president withdraw any forces deployed in a conflict within 60 days if Congress has not formally declared war.
The law was intended as a constriction of presidents’ authority to start a war. Yet, in practice it has done the opposite. Rather than using military action simply to respond to an imminent attack, presidents have read the statute as a license to act for 60 days without congressional approval.

Yep…

I wish you would stop calling them “leftists” or “progressives”. The are anti American communists determined to reduce America into a third world nightmare where they can determine the agenda and policy.
These individuals and their ilk have created and nothing but hatred and chaos and violence. They take advantage of everything America has to offer and are determined to degrade every institution so that they can be included under the banner of diversity, equity and inclusion.
I almost feel sorry for them.

Yes, they are.
And they don’t try to hide it.

True, ploome. These are *not* traditional liberals.

These women hate America yet when President Trump runs shotgun on the nation that is always threating our nation these bimbo broads claim ” Trump did not follow the Constitution” yet these women attend rallies and such by groups here in America that HATE our nation, they fly these flags of the nations who hate us inside their offices, why are they not removed from office for treason.

Agree, so ‘what the hades’ are they doing in the US? What they say AND do is ‘poppycock’, if you ask me…
Daffy says
whadoyamean ‘leftist’? If you support mohamedanism, surely you’re not leftist, are you now? These witches aren’t lefist, but outright backward….!
somehistory says
The notorious “squad” of ugly …a bunch of loudmouth idiots, supporting evil wherever and whenever they can, do not realize that they know-nothing. Know-nothings regarding the Constitution, nor their responsibilities. Actually, they are likely, at least faintly, aware that they understand nothing; so they try to cover that fact with loud, demanding voices. Screech, screech.
Firstly, the President did not….***not**** ….declare war.
Secondly, every one of those ugly squad members has broken laws. They have no grounds for declaring that they …***they**** ….need to “reign him in.”
One can only imagine the phone lines burning between them….and who gets to speak first. What evil, colossal idiots thrust upon us by other idiots.
How many witches does it take to make a brew?
40 rounds says
Absolutely correct, and I’ve honestly run out of adjectives to describe them and frankly quite tired of the whole cackling cabal
somehistory says
Thank you, 40. Yes, I’m fed up to the gills, as my family members used to say. They are all beyond annoying.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
An excellent and accurate analysis.
And they all took an oath that they violate every day.
Pure evil – every one of them.
somehistory says
Thank you, James. And yes, pure evil without question.
Taffy says
Ahhh, AOC is now a constructional scholar, NOT!
She should study up on the intersection of the President as Commander in Chief and sole person who determinines US foreign policy and Congress as the sole branch that can declare war (although as of late, some federal district court judges think they have powers not constitutionally given to them).
In the meantime, I’ve heard that she is an ace at serving a 16 year old single malt Scotch straight-up.
somehistory says
She, and the others listed above, have somehow gotten the idea that because idiots (many of them of the islime variety) *elected* them to Congress, they now know the Law and are experts on the Constitution.
A licensed attorney may today represent an individual suing a big corporation; and then tomorrow, the same attorney may represent a big corporation being sued by a *little* guy and the elements of both cases could be the same.
These clowns in Congress, supposedly *representing* the People, couldn’t represent themselves in a civil action.

You know if those four I’ll educated clowns are all in agreement on anything; then what the administration has done is in the best interest of the US and for the rest of the Western democracies.

If I wanted to listen to skata like that, I’d watch The View—
Media counterparts of the Squad
somehistory says
GE., Whoopie said the other day that people in iran have it better than Blacks do in the U.S.
If that idiot….who chose a Jewish name to replace her real one….was allowed on tv in iran, no one would be seeing her locks. Good grief; she grew up in a housing project and now, she’s a multi-nair (i don’t know her net worth (her real worth, to me, diddly) while women and girls in iran are murdered for showing their hair.
The U.S Courts have said people (meaning Blacks) can’t be fired for how they do their hair.
Sorry, your comment sent me on a tangent.
GE says
I totally understand. I’ve seen clips of the coven on The View. Such an entitled, privileged, ignorant group…
Did I forget to say smug?
somehistory says
Thank you, GE. I don’t watch it, but I’ve read a few things others have said about it…like bill mayer saying they need to be taken down.
They are all of what you wrote, and more. None of it good.
Kilemal says
Naive libtards will be naive libtards.
James Lincoln says
These Leftist politicians are Low IQ communists.
Compare and contrast with Harriet Hageman, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Josh Hawley, James Comer, Ron Johnson, John Kennedy, Clay Higgins, etc…
somehistory says
Sen. Tom Cotton, Sen. Rand Paul, MD. have higher intelligence in their pinky fingers than the combined IQ of the entire squad and those who agree with them.
. Sen. Paul may not always agree with the others you named, but he has good reasons for dissent.
James Lincoln says
100% agree, somehistory.

How *dare* the American President not help the Mullahs get nukes and destroy our democratic ally Israel? Bad dhimmis! Time tp impeach Trump again…
Joe1 says
Is she this clueless? Everyday America is fighting in about 20 countries across the globe. For example, before things degraded in the last 50 years, Chesty Puller, a US marine, served in continual combat rolls from WW1 through the Korean War. He did a lot of fighting in Central America in the 1920s and 1930s. The USA is not alone. Many other countries are fighting multiple battles everyday. The Press publishes the conflicts that they choose. To give a couple examples out of thousands, Egypt bombs Syria all the time. Some of my coworkers were flying out of Libya in 1978 (if I remember right). While they were at the airport, some planes flew over and bombed the airport.

In other news, Trump has committed to primarying Thomas Massie, who has joined them
I used to be a fan of Massie on most issues, but his obsession w/ Israel has driven me to the side that wants him gone. Maybe he can get a job w/ Tucker

Winston 101 says
Mr Lincoln, OLD GUY et al,
Yes, because words matter. They are not Left leaning Democrats, that’s their cover.
They are Islamo-commies and they are engaged in Election Jihadi Revolution.
They are sending up flack because Trump, literally, sent the U.S. military over the target.
May they be as miserable as we are happy!
