House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t think it’s the time to consider the bipartisan war powers resolution. “I don’t think this is an appropriate time for a war powers resolution, and I don’t think it’s necessary,” Johnson told reporters while drooling all over Trump’s boots because they won’t lick themselves. This is precisely the time, though.
And now, from his comfort zone on Fox News, Johnson said that Trump shouldn’t “have to consult all the members of Congress, or even all the leadership in Congress, every time he has to make a decisive, quick action.”
But Trump had time to reveal his actions on Truth Social and not just strike plans. He also found time to lash out at Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and the media. This morning, he whined about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whom he described as one of the “dumbest” members of Congress, even though AOC graduated cum laude from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in international relations and economics.
Still, Mike persisted.
“It is ridiculous for anyone to assert that the commander-in-chief, using his Article 2 power under the Constitution, should have to consult all the members of Congress, or even all the leadership in Congress, every time he has to make a decisive, quick action,” he insisted. “I mean, that would not be feasible.”
