Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Exactly what they voted for, right…

The problem is that Congress has not only not passed a law making such strikes legal within the U.S. Congress has been visited by a messenger boy from the Department of Justice telling them that in the view of the DOJ no such law needs to be passed. This is the same DOJ led by Pam Bondi that appointed Halligan to prosecute Comey, because of a dog whistle from Trump, because no other prosecutor would touch the case because there was no evidence to back it up. The same DOJ led by Bondi where Halligan`s co-prosecutor told the judge eventually under questioning when he had nowhere left to run that the instructions from the DOJ were to pretend the first grand jury indictment hadn`t failed and there was no second indictment.

Even if Congress did pass a lawmaking these strikes legal, they would only be legal within the U.S. and like a presidential pardon would not be worth the paper they were written on under international laws and would be as much use as a Nuremberg Defense for anyone who takes part in them should they be arrested outside of the U.S. and tried under an international arrest warrant. Especially under an Interpol Red Notice.

In 1973 the U.S. Congress passed the War Powers Resolution which as far as I know is still valid. That law was passed to ensure no further excesses by the U.S. military as witnessed in Vietnam Under that law the President must inform Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops into hostilities and prohibits troops from remaining in a conflict after 60 days without Congress approval. But then if you are going to make it up as you go along, like the DOJ showed with Comey based on nothing other than Trump`s thin skin looking for revenge on anyone he feels slighted him, it`s barely a skip and a jump to also ignore the War Powers Resolution to please him.

The red line is the polls telling them they are about to get battered in mid terms I would imagine.

No, both sides are not the same. If you really think that, after the shitshow of the last 10 months, you're either much further right than you think or you simply despise the same people the MAGAts do.

He might have been. But Jake O'Sullivan seems to have held back Ukrainian defense efforts.

So you've nothing to back up your both sides argument then.

Biden was providing weapons and intelligence to Ukraine.

He demanded that Putin start the war and retreat back to Russia.

He welcomed Zelensky and understood that Ukraine was the wronged party and Russia needed to be held to account.

So basically the opposite of everything Trump is doing

Trump is also providing both. So same actions.

The rest of your list is words and ive agreed that Trumps are very different on most things.

Trump has withdrawn both weapons and intelligence for extended periods of time. On top of that he has his top aides working in cahoots with the Russians rather than acting as an impartial negotiator. He's also treated Zelensky like dirt on a number of occasions and called him illegitimate. So basically the polar opposite to Biden. Biden was shíte on Gaza however.

How about MAGArsehole?

Trump also said Ukraine shouldn’t have started the war and welcomed Putin to Alaska like a hero instead of a murdering dictator
