Cant see House or Senate doing anything. Hell Johnson just shut down the vote mid way through on the ACA. He lost some GOP.

The last time the United States formally declared war, using specific terminology, on any nation was in 1942, when war was declared against Axis-aligned Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania, because President Franklin Rooseveltthought it was improper to engage in hostilities against a country without a formal declaration of war. Since then, every American president has used military force without a declaration of war.
On at least 125 occasions, the president has acted without prior express military authorization from Congress.

My guess is that, as always, the current POTUS doesn’t give a sh!t about the constitution or the other branches of government and, failing an actual denial by the military to do what he wants, he will do what he wants.

Well that was a waste of air. I could only handle it for 5 min, then switched to the highlight real.

I admit I turn off the radio each time I come across the incoherent bloviation of POTUS or the snarky bluster of our own esteemed provincial leader. My brain says hard nope.

Apparently the sole purpose of that national broadcast was for Cheeto Jesus to blame everything on Biden.

I never listen to his rantings and ramblings (an incoherent mess as I have come to appreciate).

I understand the TV network put him on a tight timeline as they had other shows viewers wanted to watch then, which led to less rambling, but perhaps more ranting as he quickly shouted his message at viewers.
So I don't think it went over well, even for those who bothered to watch. At least he did not announce some huge escalation in attacks against Venezuela, which I was concerned might be the reason for his broadcast.

My anxiety levels are at a level that watching this orange slug could have fatal consequences.

Opinion: Trump’s social-media screening plan for British, EU and Japanese visitors is a boon for Canadian tourism
Canada’s tourism sector is already on track for a banner year thanks to Trump’s tariffs and annexation threats
