  3. I do have a question:

    If it is true that only #Congress can authorize
    one (treacherous) military attack on another #Nation...

    Why did the #U.S. #Army went bombing #Iran >without an authorization from #Congress?

    Are there any other #legal #loopholes that allow the 'administration' to avoid #congressional oversight?

    Or did #Trup commit an illegal act by ordering the bombing?
    Or did the #military commit an illegal act by obeying Trump?
    Or as always in the USA ... >a "yes and no'

  4. @Alan There are TWO #Dakotas because #Republicans had the power at the time and wanted four seats in order to stack the deck in the Senate.

    #DC and #PuertoRico don't have #Congressional representation or #Statehood because they're majority BROWN PEOPLE, and Republicans fear that means they would vote for #Democratic candidates in all races.
