War Powers Resolution: Congress Tries to Stop Biden From Accidentally Starting WWIII With Iran
Bipartisan woke-scolds attempt to tie Grandpa Joe's hands before he wanders off and bombs Tehran because he thought it was a really big ice cream sundae.

Okay, so here's the deal: House Democrats (and some RINOs, probably) are all worked up about Biden accidentally launching a full-scale invasion of Iran. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, bless his heart, announced Friday that a bipartisan coalition (translation: some people on both sides who haven't been bought off by Raytheon yet) is trying to force a vote on a War Powers Resolution, because apparently nobody trusts the senile old man in the White House with the launch codes.
It's not like Biden has a history of making sound strategic decisions, right? Remember Afghanistan? Good times. Good times. So, the idea is to make sure that before we accidentally nuke Tehran because Biden thought he saw a particularly delicious-looking popsicle stand, Congress gets to weigh in. You know, the people who brought you Obamacare and the Green New Deal. Those geniuses.
This whole thing is about the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which basically says the President can't just waltz into a war without Congress giving the thumbs-up. Except, presidents have been ignoring it since day one. It's more of a strongly worded suggestion than an actual law, if you ask me. But hey, at least they're trying, right? Trying to prevent the doddering Commander-in-Chief from turning the Middle East into an even bigger dumpster fire than it already is.
Of course, the Left thinks this is about "protecting human lives" and "preventing destabilization." The Right is probably whining about how it "undermines national security" and "emboldens our enemies." And the rest of us are just sitting here with popcorn, waiting to see if the world ends before the next season of Yellowstone comes out.
Let's be real, though. Iran is a dumpster fire wrapped in an enigma, sprinkled with crazy. They fund terrorists, they build nukes (allegedly), and they shout "Death to America" every Tuesday. Someone needs to keep them in check. Is Biden the guy to do it? Probably not. But tying his hands completely might not be the best move either. It's a delicate balance between preventing WWIII and letting Iran run wild like a toddler with a loaded diaper.
I'm not saying we should bomb Iran. But I'm also not saying we shouldn't. What I AM saying is that maybe, just maybe, we should have a president who knows what year it is before we start lobbing missiles around. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a guy on the internet with too much time on his hands and a healthy distrust of all politicians, regardless of party affiliation. Now get off my lawn!
Maybe if the President wasn't asleep at the wheel, we wouldn't need this idiotic resolution. But, alas, here we are. So, let the political theatre commence. And may God have mercy on us all when Biden confuses the nuclear football with his TV remote.
So, next week, expect a lot of hot air, grandstanding, and virtue signaling. And at the end of the day, probably nothing will change. The President will still do whatever he wants, Iran will still be Iran, and the world will continue its slow descent into madness. But hey, at least we can say we tried...sort of. Now, where's my beer?
