I'm surprised Donald gets any time to be president with all the butthurt idiots clamouring for attention by using him as a catalyst to put themselves in the limelight. I think he has done a stellar job navigating though all this trash.

How about that. A black, progressive congresswoman from California is one of the strongest actual anti-endless/needless war voices.

A Progressive Lawmaker Just Convinced Some Of Her Republican Colleagues To Repeal A War Authorization

In a move that shocked many in Congress, a House subcommittee adopted an amendment on Thursday that would repeal the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, the law that US administrations have used as the legal basis for multiple wars in the Middle East over the past 16 years.

The House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee voted overwhelmingly to adopt an amendment from Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee of California to repeal the 2001 AUMF, the 60-word war authorization Congress passed after 9/11 to allow the US to fight the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks. Since then, the law has been used as the legal justification for everything from the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, to the ongoing fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The adoption of the amendment does not mean the 2001 AUMF has been repealed, as that would need to be agreed upon by both the House and Senate, and then signed by President Trump. But the amendment is now included in a defense spending bill, which puts it on a path to be wrapped into a massive funding bill to avoid a government shutdown in September. If the amendment remains in place — and is not pulled out by the House or Senate in the meantime — Congress and the president would have to choose between maintaining the AUMF and shutting down the government.

She was also the only person in the House of Representatives that voted against the 2001 AUMF.

Any time to be president? Well I'm sure if he was worried about that he wouldn't be golfing as much as he is after criticising Obama.

The Mika tweets? Lawrence O'Donnell gets it.

"But it worked. The tweets worked. No one in the White House press briefing room asked why President Trump thinks family does not include grandparents or grandchildren or uncles or cousins. It worked."
