Biden is worth like $9 million, and MAGA went crazy over the fake "crime family" scandal. Comer kept showing personal checks for less than $10 grand as "proof". Donald has made around $3 billion in the last 8 months, and his family just got $5 billion. And somehow we forget that Kushner got $2...

If the Dems had any real leadership they would be telling these guys to retire.
 
Arrogant till death. All of them. I'd like to retire now. They want to be in Congress till they're dead. It makes no sense.

Sure it does. You make good money for doing nothing, and have a large staff of young people taking care of all your senior living needs at no cost to you.
 
Holy shit. Congress actually did a thing. A good thing.

Today, of all days.

Almost exactly 24 years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the US House of Representatives voted Tuesday to finally repeal a pair of more than two-decade-old congressional authorizations that have allowed presidents to carry out military attacks in the Middle East and elsewhere.

In a 261-167 vote, with 49 Republicans joining all Democrats, the House passed an amendment to the next military spending bill to rescind the Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed by Congress in the leadup to the 1991 Persian Gulf War and 2003 War in Iraq.

The decision is a small act of resistance in Congress after what the Quincy Institute’s Adam Weinstein described in Foreign Policy magazine as “years of neglected oversight” by Congress over the “steady expansion of presidential war-making authority.”

As Weinstein explains, these AUMFs, originally meant to give presidents narrow authority to target terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda and use military force against Saddam Hussein, “have been stretched far beyond their original purposes” by presidents to justify the use of unilateral military force across the Middle East.

That can’t be right.


…right?

Does this mean POTUS can’t just order strikes anywhere anymore? Because the GWOT AUMF was basically used carte blanche for pretty much all uses of military force since 2001

The "leadership" are a bunch of 80 year olds.

Those are all excellent platform positions except term limits which for reasons I have repeated a hundred times sounds great but just strengthens billionaires, special interests, and lobbyists.

What we need is an age limit, not term limits. Put on our big girl panties and tell the Olds Lobby that's great grandpa now let's get you to bed at 65.

Michigan did the term limit thing. Useless. It's how we got Nestle sucking water out for pennies.

29 states have age limits for judges between 70-75. One is 90 (?!)(Vermont), and 2 say you can run if you're too old, but you then lose all your earned retirement benefits. Figure out how to shovel that through without the idiots on the shadow docket gutting it.
