    Always amazing what subtle marketing changes can do for shit. We don't need a War Department when there's no war, but DoD? Always gotta be defended brah!

    No need to worry about it unless you've done something wrong.

  6. Incoming ban.

  7. Obama seeking Congressional authorization for Syria military actions.

    On one hand, this is unquestionably good; the fact that the President doesn't need it is pretty scandalous by itself, but the people deserve a voice here. That's the way the framers set it up and Congress has clearly shirked its responsibilities over the decades.

    On the other hand it's a clear signal that this is a disaster in the making, clearly the President doesn't want to be holding the bag when it inevitably goes pear-shaped.

  8. I would say it's mostly the latter. I don't see a resolution here and we basically gave the regime a couple weeks to prepare for our "attack".

  9. Definitely mostly the latter. Still, if they do this and it turns into a disaster, we can have a whole bunch of these clowns get killed on it in the next election, similar to what happened in 2006. I'm fine with that. That's how the system should work.

    Plus just as a basic principle Congress should be authorizing the executive branch every time the executive branch wants to go to war. It's just, you know, the Constitution - the real one, not the imaginary one the teabags have been pushing the past few years.
