She is trying to get us all killed.  Stifling this President's actions and tying his hands against the enemy sends the wrong message to Iran and the rest of the World --it is she that needs to be removed!!! 

Pelosi moves to limit Trump’s actions in Iran with War Powers Resolution vote

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced overnight that she plans on taking measures to potentially curb President Trump’s ability to conduct military operations against Iran.

Pelosi and other Democrats have been critical of Trump’s decision to conduct an airstrike in Iraq that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, claiming he did not properly notify Congress in advance and warning about the risk of escalation in the region. Trump has also threatened additional action if Iran retaliates for Soleimani’s death.

“This week, the House will introduce and vote on a War Powers Resolution to limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to fellow Democrats, referring to a similar Senate resolution to be introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. “It reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.”

The first War Powers Resolution was passed in 1973 in an effort to prevent presidents from using the military without congressional approval. Since then, questions of presidential compliance have become common, with controversy stemming from President Bill Clinton’s actions in Kosovo and President Barack Obama’s operations in Libya.

On Saturday, the White House sent Congress formal notification of the drone strike under the War Powers Act, a senior administration official told The Associated Press. The notification, required by law within 48 hours of the introduction of American forces into an armed conflict or a situation that could lead to war, had to be signed and sent to Congress..............

Pelosi to introduce the Defense of Iranian Terrorism Act.  Color me shocked.

I understand your point, but what is truly concerning is the message that they are sending Iran and the rest of the ME.  It's bad enough that we have the Hollywood scum sending them love notes as well.  Their message is do whatever you want, and things will be back to business as usual because we're trying to get rid of our President.  They're inviting a strike on the U.S. -- just my opinion.

[catfish1957]

Just Trump and not any and all other future POTUS?

That kind of partisan hypocricy won't pass any common man, common sense "red face test".

Stupid dims don't realize that there are still many of us still alive who have vivid memories of 1979.

I understand where you're coming from, but as long as the DEMS, liberals and Hollywood scum sway public sentiment so that they get the votes needed to capture the WH in 2020; they really don't care.  They will continue to oppose everything this President does until they recapture their powerthat they believe was taken from them in the last general election.

Which is why the Never Trumpers have to see the bigger picture and understand the ramifications of Trump losing this election.

These types of Rat knee jerk changes always come back to bite them in the ass.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but sometime in the not to distant future.

Yeah, bullcrap.

I'm not so sure that even their additional votes will be enough to get him re-elected with all the new citizens voting, changes in demographics and of course all the fraud and corruption.

[libertybele]

Yeah, bullcrap.

Oh boy... do I dare ask, but I'm going to...what do you think the ramifications of Trump not getting re-elected vs. the ramifications of Trump getting elected are??

IMHO, for what it's worth, I believe we are to the point, that saving this Republic by voting strictly on principles and the character of the candidates is gone -- that shipped sailed when the GOP voting base voted in Trump rather than Cruz. Like it or not, I believe the people rejected a principled, constitutional conservative. Now we are to what I believe is the final tipping point. I think it has come down to, do we save this Republic by voting Trump or do we let her fall to socialism?

I see a very slight glimmer of hope in the next 4 years.  After that, I don't think this Republic has a snowball's chance of surviving in 2024 and beyond.  It would take someone like Cruz running in 2024 (though I doubt he'll run again) and miraculously getting voted in, in spite of the odds with the changed demographics and new citizen voters.

No real difference.

Then there is nothing left to save. If there is no purpose in the ballot box, the only box left is the ammo box.

I see nothing of the sort if folks endorse the exact opposite of what has made us great - And that is precisely what this fear based voting is doing. Unawares, all y'all are writing our doom.

Where will following your lead get us? Walk us through it.

[Chosen Daughter]

Yeah, bullcrap.

Yep.  If Trump loses this election it is because of his own stupidity and stupid tweets.  Even his staunchest supporters cringe, and I know many.  He is a scary dude.  Off the wall.   Voting for Trump would be taking your last thousand dollars and putting it down on roulette table.  Because he is unpredictable.  He's both liberal and Republican.  You never know which one is going to show up.  Sometimes neither, just the clown buffoon.  But most of all he is self centered and almost everything he does is about or for him.  Not about American interests.  I would rather not vote at all.

Well at least you are aware that the ship sailed.  Oh no if Trump is voted in again it will be Trump Jr. next election.  Because he is transforming our government into his own workers party.

[roamer_1]

It is really pretty simple. You get what you vote *for*
If each and every one of us do not vote for Conservatism, then Conservatism is gone, and with it, the only chance of saving These United States.

And more importantly, where it goes by following the lesser evil - One by one, the virtues of this country will be cast away... Already fiscal prudence and state sovereignty are not even contested anymore. The rest too will follow. And all y'all will be voting them away, with  lip service to the 2nd amendment and abortion likely being the last to fall.

We will indeed get the government we deserve.

You didn't answer the question, so I'll repeat it:  Where will following your lead in 2020 get us?  Walk us through it without the bullshit.

It isn't bullshit. It is the truth of it.

No it's not.   

[roamer_1]

Yes it is. Without a single doubt.

[Wingnut]

Hey, ass holes.    Can we get back to the topic at hand, which is Dimbulb Pelosi's exercise in futility and not our resident NT's repeating their manifesto's

[catfish1957]

That's right.

In the past I have been aligned with that thinking.  I still think Trump is a bufoon. He is an idiot, who can't control is Twitter fingers. Problem is .....   A bufoon is still better than an evil socialist.  If enough of us sit on the sideline November 2020, we may be looking at a POTUS Warren or Sanders, and all that entails the next 4 years.  The election is going to be that close.

I can't look in the mirror , and say I'd want to be responsible for that.
