The Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by the Senate is a rewrite of the Constitution’s War Powers clause and grants the President broad authority to deploy ground troops almost everywhere in the world, including the United States. That’s the warning being voiced by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy in response to the AUMF bill proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The bill would grant the president overwhelming control over where the US forces are deployed, which is scary for two reasons. The first is the obvious threat to American citizens’ rights. If the military can be sent to an American city based on loose justifications, they could be used to impose martial law and even empower a police state that has already grown too powerful.
The second reason is the plain call back to Manifest Destiny. Americans do not want to police the world. If the European Union is too busy handling the migrant crisis and Russia has finally come to terms with the harsh economic reality that their country is on the brink of collapse, it would leave the United States to ensure the sovereignty of all democratic nations. A solution that nobody would want.

BULL$#%&!@*ON OBAMA

Cynthia Shannon Bouakadakis – finally, someone else who sees what has happened in our country – not one shot was fired, which is why he’s so smug and arrogant thinking only he and his regime know what they did. However, not all of us bought into his lies and deception; and either his followers support what he does or they’re in for a huge shock when reality sets in. But he is not alone in all this and they all need to be taken care of – hence the need to thoroughly clean Houses. There are a lot of anti-American traitors in our local and federal government, and some have been there for years just waiting for their opportunity – and that opportunity is obviously now. But for all intent and purpose, this country was sold out back in 1913.
God help America..please return a sound mind to these senators..help us O Lord in Jesus name..
He will do this to stay in power, just as$#%&!@*did!
