Authorization of military force (AUMF) is the buzzword of the week and people are opining all over the place about what President Obama means to do with it. There is of course the obvious fight with ISIS but there is no reason the President can’t make his case before Congress to authorize the next war he craves.
Observers wonder why Mitch McConnell offers President Obama so much more power but that is exactly the point. McConnell and other Republicans have been handing over their powers to Obama like frighted children returning stolen candy.
Why should they stop Obama from further adventures with ISIS? Now that the President has armed ISIS with our weapons, maybe he thinks a ground war is fair now. We can’t have evil white America crushing jihadists in Toyota trucks with 60 year old AK-47s. They needed armored Humvees and .50 caliber rifles.
Once AM General and Browning have Obama’s favorite “moderates” armed, we are allowed to send in U.S. Troops to face the pitched battled for the sake of Obama’s legacy.
That’s why he wants his AUMF. He gets to take cover in the fact that Republicans authorized it, then he gets to act tough again and try to get it right this time, and finally he gets to punish the American military he has always loathed by making some of them die to polish his last days in office.
American warriors will sacrifice greatly against Obama-armed jihadists to build an Obama legacy.
And Mitch McConnell’s milquetoast brigade is handing it to him without a word.
Does anyone wonder why Donald Trump is leading against the establishment?

My talk to text sucks
you people are printing b******t
Sir the problem is not the constitution it is the failure of Congress and the courts who fail to enforce it. Stop letting down the people and do what you need to do to make it right. The people of this country deserve better from their congressmen and senators. Stop excepting executive orders as law for only the legislature has the right to write laws…
He’ll have Sen Murphy’s approval guaeanteed.
dumbassses
They dare try and they will be hunted by the very army that protects them! We will keep America period!
And it begins , when are we actually gonna fight this. When is our military gonna stand up bring our soldiers home to handle this cuz with out them to support us we don’t stand a chance, cuz people have gotten too soft and reliant to believe our government won’t let this happen. Well guess what this has been the goal all along was to make this a non democracy country ruled by sharia law. When are all you people gonna open your eyes. Look at the big big picture. Putin and China know this is happening and they don’t want it if it does then the balance of countries will be out numbered he will loose his country China could stand to loose theirs and many others. It’s a chess game in play don’t look at the move made look at how many moves that move opened up in the future.
If this occurs, and it very likely that it will, there will be a revolution that will move slowly at first and them explode into something like we have never seen.
I pray not
