Were you here then complaining about that? We must have missed you somehow.
Try the AUMF. Numbnuts.
Didn’t complain because there was an actual underlying authorization for the use of force. That is A, U, and F for above.
Now the schtick is “WHADDABOUT <something Obama>”. At least the comment has moved for once away from Biden. Still the same tired schtick. And better yet, rife with an apparent crucial lack of understanding that AUMF was in effect.
I addressed this in an earlier thread on this topic. The AUMF was for al-Qaeda. Not ISIS or al-Shabaab, or JNIM, or whatever other terrorist org you want to lump in that we've attacked over the years. The arguments that an AUMF were needed for AQ and CT actions was predicated on the belief that the President needed Congressional approval for long term, extended military action against combatants.
Obama absolutely used similar strikes against designated entities not included in the AUMF, so if you're going to rest your laurels on the AUMF then this isn't something you can have both ways. Therefore its relevant to establish a pattern of fact moreso than whataboutism. Moreover, Trump like Obama with the expansion of his targeted operations relied on Article II of the Constitution (which defines the powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief) as a standalone authority for limited military actions, particularly when those actions were intended to defend U.S. national interests and were considered to be "short of traditional war."
This is not a winnable argument to suggest that the current President doesn't have the authority to conduct targeted special operations such as this when every other President has used it to some degree without an AUMF or a Declaration of War.
lol ... which is the beauty of the 'irony corner' he painted himself into by using "WHADDABOUT..." ... at least he's good at some of summin' ...
Funny, I pointed out a whadabout. Didnt use one. Maybe try and reread it.
doesn't your profession rely on whatabout as precedent, Ja!?
I don't have to reread it ... you don't like how this one's going ... we get it ... now, you can go fk off with all the bs that makes you "uncomfortable"...
Then they can be reported and warned, and maybe even banned.
With a lack of moderation on here, I highly doubt that will happen.
I know. That's why I've called for a reshuffling of mods so we have more active ones patrolling this part of the bbs.
I know. I saw.
But, in the mean time, it's best just to not respond to the leftists on here. After my circle jerk session with Tom yesterday, I'm not going to respond to him directly anymore. Why? Because no matter what I say, or what any of us say for that matter, he will take it out of context and twist it to fit his agenda.
I'm not going to put him on ignore because that just brings me down to his level. He has me and many of us on here on ignore as well. Yet, he constantly responds to us to claim moral superiority over us by painting all of us with a broad brush stroke.
I'd rather be a retarded worthless conservative poster with no critical thinking skills than be Tom any day.

If Roxie cannot get banned - Tanq ain't getting banned.
Neither will Tom nor chickenhorse. Although, Tom should have been banned for what he said about CK the day he was murdered. I didn't see what he posted because it was taken down almost immediately, but I heard it was pretty bad.

Eh, I don't know about that. Even Mensa would try to back up some of his claims. "Roxie" doesn't. (Sorry. Usually doesn't. I've only seen "her" do that once or twice.)

We've killed several of those, lol. But everybody here understands what is out of bounds and what can slide by. This board is way different than any other one on this site.

I like how he calls me a worthless poster, and then says I need to seek help. At least Roxie had the balls to insinuate I should kill myself by comparing me to fsquid who died here recently.
