I find it rich that Cory Booker, a profile of cowardice, calling someone “feckless.”

Yup, spineless. 118th (2023-24) was historically unpopular, and didn’t pass much legislation. I think the current congress will come out looking worse, by actively enabling a harmful administration.

Well, isn’t this just the feck calling the kettle less.

Feel free to introduce a War Powers 2.0 Bill anytime you want, Booker, as a blueprint/vision for how things should work.
It shouldn’t take 2/3rds of both houses to rein in the executive.. and you’ve also had 20+ years of examples of how it doesn’t work.
Here, I’ll help:
1. Invert the system by shifting the burden of action from Congress to the executive branch. Instead of granting the president a 60 day blank check that requires a veto-proof supermajority to override, trigger an automatic, immediate funding cliff (severing all operational capital within 72 hours) unless Congress explicitly votes to authorize the deployment.
2. Explicitly define “hostilities” to include drone strikes, over the horizon missile attacks, special forces advise and assist combat roles, and offensive cyber operations.
3. Personal criminal liability for the bureaucracy.. expand Antideficiency Act.
4. Give Congress standing to sue.. make it no longer a political question that gets dismissed.
Of course… Dems aren’t remotely serious about reining in the imperial presidency. They enjoy having access to the same tools when they’re in control. They’re more than happy to play good cop passing a loaded gun to bad cop and then campaign off of any resulting chaos.

>Cory Booker calls both parties ‘feckless’ for ceding war powers to Trump
True.
And as he remains with one of the parties, he outs himself as feckless, too.

Everyone was also feckless in handing arms to Israel, while they committed and continue to commit war crimes. Most politicians needs replacement for a whole host of reasons.

The guy who gave a 26 hour speech and then turned around and voted to confirm Jared Kushner’s dad? That Cory Booker?

You mean the guy who in 2024 attended a special meeting with Netanyahu and was snapped in a photo with him? That guy? Why do New York and New Jersey have to produce the WORST Democrats?

I saw this interview, Tapper comes off as a hack. And i used to like him. But he was asking stupid questions. One question was framed as Dems didn’t stop Obama conducting airstrikes on Libya. Why should Dems have a problem with Trump doing it.
Well Jake that would be because Obama didn’t start the Libyan Civil War, it was a multi lateral air strike by Nato forces with backing from the UN and Arab allies. Not 2 psycho’s deciding they want to be seen as strong men.
Another was
“Congratulations on getting married, she’s jewish. There’s rising anti semitism in both parties, have Dems done enough to counter it in your own party.” Trump literally sits down with Nazis and this is your question.

AIPAC funded Cory Booker? That guy calling out feckless? Oh, the irony.

When a mostly centrist Dem like Booker is getting mad, maybe there’s some fire from key people we haven’t heard about.
