"don't mess with bull if you don't want to get the horns" I say while flexing as a wet spot on the front of my jeans grows in size

basically everything that is wrong in american politics is downstream of the fact that the legislature has chosen to stop functioning

Nowadays we just randomly bomb whatever country we feel like, no matter where it is, and vaguely wave at the Iraq or Afghanistan AUMFs as a legal *domestic* framework for going to war without Congressional approval.

This is going to sound completely foreign to anyone under the age of 35 at least, but there actually used to be a time when it was accepted that you needed to get UN permission to legally go to war. Bush actually tried pretty hard to get it (before doing it anyway).

Maybe it all happens anyway, idk. Obviously the seeds were already present in Gingrich, Delay, Bush v. Gore, etc. But it's hard not to think that Iraq and Afghanistan were a big turning point that made it much harder for us to ever turn the ship around.
