Hegseth: "Our view is that should the President make the decision to recommence, we would have all the authorities necessary." 209715 0

SarcasMo @mofeece.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Weakest prosecution of an argument I’ve ever seen. Congress may as well lay over and play dead. 030 0
Paula Vergara @paulavergara.bsky.social · 12/05/2026The Constitution explicitly grants the power to declare war to Congress. This is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 (War Powers Clause). Article II, Section 2 gives the President "Command" power to conduct war and respond to emergencies. Why didn't Murkowski correct him? 030 0
Michael Buckle, Ph.D. @drmikebuckle.bsky.social · 12/05/2026A great risk of sycophancy is that it predicts disastrous decision making based on faulty or indefensible claims. These decisions are hard to come back from, as we are seeing. 010 0

R. J. Zimmerman @photonicsmarketing.com · 12/05/2026That's their view, yes. So, now, to all the folks with guns and "We The People..." tattooed on their forearms: how do you feel about this unconstitutional, tyrannical government? Is it time to organize and at least hold them accountable? Isn't this a big reason for all the guns? 000 0
