Congress Proposes Bill to Allow Worldwide War... was created by Martin Ent Inc

Boy we are quite the POS country nowdays.

"But as the ACLU noted yesterday, Congress is going even further … proposing handing permanent, world-wide war-making powers to the president – including the ability to make war within the United States:"

It isn't a matter of trust. This is a major problem giving the president far too much power.

I was pretty sure that already happened under Bush. And you're right--giving a president even MORE power than Bush usurped for himself is a scary thought.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
