Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is fast tracking a war powers bill through the Senate that would grant Obama virtually unlimited authority to deploy US armed forces anywhere in the world for any amount of time, opening the door for indefinite martial law on US soil.
Senate majority whip John Cornyn, as well as other senators, reacted with surprise when reporters questioned them about McConnell’s sudden fast-tracking of the bill after a year of entrenched debate. Even Democrat senators reacted with some apprehension, such as Senator Robert Mendez, who fundamentally agrees with the powers granted by the bill but doesn’t want to give Obama “a blank check.”
This sudden turn of events is both puzzling and worrisome. As the Presidential election looms on the horizon, the timing of such a bill is troublesome.

Linda Sindeband. That was during the big snowstorm at DC when uncle mitch slid that legislation under obozos door. Where it was signed in secret. Old news. But,, nevertheless still very much relevant.

Another$#%&!@*go figure!
Why the perplexity at this? If one assumes the goal to be the arrogation of ever more power over those whom you ostensibly “serve”, it all makes perfect sense.
As to whom would he deploy troops against: don’t be naive, for Pete’s sake. We, the American people, are the obvious targets because some significant proportion of us are not going quietly into the night of the broader political agenda that some seem to have for all of us.
Keep your powder dry, folks. I suspect the day is not that far off when you are going to have to make a very real and extremely frightening, but important decision to make regarding what sort of life you will want to live from that moment forward.
Make sure you choose wisely.
