The War Powers Resolution is an infringement on the president’s constitutional powers as Commander in Chief.

foxnews.com/politics/house…
At the end of the day, this House vote is meaningless when it comes to President @realDonaldTrump ‘s ability to protect the nation and only serves as an inducement for Iran and other radical Islamic elements to become more provocative.
To the House Dems and GOPers who voted for this resolution: You have done nothing to legally restrict President Trump’s power as Commander in Chief. Unfortunately however, you have increased the likelihood of conflict.
To the Iranians: Please understand this will not stop President Trump in any fashion from doing what he said he would do if you continue to engage in hostilities against the U.S. or our allies.

You move forward at your own peril.

The sentence rendered in the Roger Stone case by Judge Jackson is on the lower end of the recommended sentencing guidelines for offenses of this nature.
It is important to give both the government and the accused a fair trial free from influence.

I believe this has been accomplished in Mr. Stone’s case.

Like all Americans, Mr. Stone can appeal the fairness of his trial and the verdict rendered.
Under our system of justice President Trump has all the legal authority in the world to review this case, in terms of commuting the sentence or pardoning Mr. Stone for the underlying offense.

If the Trump Administration decides to reduce U.S. forces to around 8,600 in Afghanistan, I would totally support such a decision as conditions on the ground justify a reduction.

However, I completely agree with @gen_jackkeane and others that civil war will break out in Afghanistan and international terrorism will surge if America announces a complete withdrawal that is not conditions-based.
I hope and believe the Trump Administration has learned much from Obama’s Iraq debacle where he withdrew all U.S. military forces against sound military advice.

I’m very pleased the Senate has rejected Democrats’ request to call additional witnesses after the House chose not to.

As I have stated, this is not an impeachable offense and the witnesses sought by the House managers were available to them in the House.
Their testimony would not change the fact that this is a non-impeachable offense and not the kind of event the Founding Fathers had in mind when it comes to removing a president and preventing them from running for reelection.
The fact is the House chose not to call witnesses like John Bolton because they wanted to impeach President Trump before the election.

It has nothing to do with finding the truth.

Le #breaking de la nuit US qui n'en est pas vraiment 1. La Chambre a voté pour condamner les tweets racistes de #Trump. Enfin les 235 représentants démocrates, 4 républicains (sur 196) et 1 indépendant. nytimes.com/2019/07/16/us/…
2) Cette condamnation symbolique de #Trump et de ses propos racistes par la Chambre n'a concrètement que peu d'effet sinon de prouver au président que le parti républicain est désormais entièrement sur sa ligne nationaliste/nativiste et identitaire blanche…
3)… et #Trump en fin politique "d'instinct" a été le 1er à s'en réjouir: comme il le souhaitait, on a désormais 2 blocs face à face, irréconciliables, sans plus de consensus possible sur des valeurs nationales dépassant les stricts intérêts partisans. RT

President Trump vetoed the Yemen war powers resolution, the 2nd veto of his presidency:

“It is my duty to return S.J. Res. 7 to the Senate without my approval.”
President Trump: “I am returning herewith without my approval S.J. Res. 7, a joint resolution that purports to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in or affecting the Republic of Yemen, with certain exceptions.”
”This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future.”

It’s time we all learn the Truth.

The Truth isn’t always what you want it to be, it’s not something you just invent out of thin air.

The Truth is the foundation that we mere mortals must build our lives on, if not then we are doomed to failure, that’s why addicts live such ...
... a hard life. You can’t build a life on a lie and you can’t build a society on a lie.

I will attempt to lay out the Truth as best as I can for everyone, some people will already know a lot of what I’m about to post, but I tried to build this so anyone can follow it.
There are a few things in here that even those of you who are well informed will not know.

Pay attention to the timing of how this all fits together, it was hard to lay this out as multiple things are happening simultaneously and we have to back up and run back through things ..

1) #FoxNews ==> Ocasio-Cortez slammed as 'financially illiterate' at Sharpton event over Amazon, faces calls to be ousted from office
#AllOutCrazy continues 2spewnonsense, this time how reparations & economic overhaul will combat #ClimateChange. @AOC is such a thorn in the side
2) of the [D]'s that again they are talking about how 2get remove her from officer.
So sad 2think that 17,000 votes could elect such an uneducated person 2the #House.
"She doesn’t know what she doesn’t know." That is actually scary, given her position.

3) So what's with the southern accent @AOC?
🤔Very strange...
The whole speech is a conflicted mashup of realities.
ex. She's opposed 2border security & we must combat the opioid epidemic(?)
Love how this guy photo bombs her speech.
From 7:15min on -2the agenda of #BetsyDeVos?
