The Rockhouse is well-aware the only legal authority for declaration of war by the United States is the Senate and that looks good on paper but only the Commander-in-Chief can order the military to war and this President has not shown the eager willingness to do that we have seen in multiple previous administrations.
We have no support of any kind for Trump's domestic agenda since we gave him a chance to fuck up and he did, repeatedly. In that regard, Trump is nothing more than a destructive vandal but do keep in mind as you slash him for privatizing air traffic control, the last one to propose privatizing it was Bill Clinton. Do be careful to keep your double standard in order, if you please.
