(a) to repel an armed attack upon the United States, to [retaliate for such attack]..., and to forestall the direct and imminent threat of such an attack; (b) to repel an armed attack against [US forces overseas] ...; (c) [to protect evacuations]; or (d) pursuant to specific statutory authorization.
So Israel says Khamenei is killed and it's ”unconfirmed“, then Trump says it and it's “confirmed”? How in the world does something said by the liar-in-chief confirm anything?
He's old enough, but I think he may be too tall to pass the physical.
The attack on Iran is a clear admission of failure by the Trump administration's and Little Marco's State Department to negotiate an acceptable resolution of the Iran question. Admittedly it's not an easy question to resolve, but transitioning to brute force is the refuge of the playground bully.

Chaos and refunding tariffs: The administration knew that the tariffs were being challenged, and would likely be found unconstitutional. Yet, they still spent the money. If there is chaos as a result of today's SC decision, knuckleheaded premature spending is the source, not the decision itself.
We've seen no proof that the US accusations of drug smuggling are correct, and even if such proofs exist, these attacks by our armed forces would still be not only mass murder and conspiracy to commit mass murder, but could even meet the definition of state terrorism.
ICE-iss.
I think that ICE/BP should be regularly drug tested.
If you use ChatGPT, I suggest you ask it when it would cite Grokipedia. I just did, and it was illuminating, both about ChatGPT and about Grokipedia.
A stopped clock shows the correct time twice per day, but a running clock set incorrectly is never right. Do you think Trump and MAGA are metaphorically a stopped clock, or a running clock set incorrectly?
He's right, in a way: her death is all about him. Just not in the way he thinks it is.
Trump is festering.
SCOTUS: can crimes (violations of the law) ever be within the widest perimeters of a president's official acts? That is, can actions that are _outside_ the law be considered _inside_ the president's official legal authority? No, it's a contradiction and should cancel the absolute immunity doctrine.
Being the bully picking on a little guy projects American cowardice, not American force
On the other hand, in the wake of the ICE murder and the invasion of Venezuela, there have been noticeably fewer mentions of Epstein, so Trump is probably quite content right now.
MAGA Uncle Sam bullies Venezuela's lunch money (oil) on the playground.
Don “Quixote” Trump and Sancho Pete
Unadmirable Murphy.
Cottonmouth strikes again
Unlike the other branches of the military, the US Navy has no official motto. Circumstances have now provided one that fits them to a T: Dead men tell no tales. There is a second option: Shoot twice, ask questions later.
My guess is that this has to do with the busloads of out of state voters conspiracy theories.
It just occurred to me that if anything like Trump happened in most of America's allied countries, there would be a general strike and the whole place would be shut down. Why aren't most Americans on strike? Are they waiting for him to start tearing down *their* house too?
Given how razist Trump has been up til now, I wouldn't put it past him.
Unitary executive -> absolute monarchy. King Donald's wannabe reign has been decades in the making.
About three times as many people turned out for No Kings II as lived in the United States on July 4, 1776.
Where did you go?
Out.
What did you do?
Nokings!
Only 19,992 to go!
Trump found out that the courts won't let him use the US military to subdue his domestic opponents, so as a workaround he's setting up the first foreign military base on US soil (Qatar air force, Idaho)?
