Old white zombies stay in their mummified congressional seats until they're excavated by some miracle.

Congress is a joke.

I wonder if in 60 days when they have to make a formal decision, they just punt and call it ‘not a war.’ I’m sure we’ll have boots on the ground by then, so it’ll be blatantly false but the media will cover for them somehow.

Everyone will call it a war except the officials, who will call it a 'special military operation'

They've been doing it for decades now.
