I realize this thread is already doomed [flagged], but we've gotten to the point where the frog is boiled.

Everyone knows this type of behavior is completely unhinged, but nobody is willing to do anything about it. Aside from the most extreme MAGA in the House, we have some ridiculous -- never admit anything is wrong -- party loyalty precedent that is keeping this going.

We're already in a bad place, and we are sleepwalking towards WW3, the loss of Taiwan (and a semi-conductor crisis), and even the potential for a nuclear exchange. The madman strategy doesn't work between two madmen, which is why this situation is just lunacy. An all out war with Iran may be the best option at this point, it's true, but the point is that the US Congress should be the institution to decide that, not just one man who is now stretching the credulity of the War Powers Act past any sense of a good-faith interpretation.
