The Constitution doesn't matter in America anymore, where have you been?
You're right. And personally...I don't really give a shit about the Constitution. It was written by 20 something slave owners who didn't know you're supposed to wash your hands after you wipe your ass. It's needed a page one rewrite for over a century now.
That having been said, maaaaaybe the President should've at least consulted with legislators from his own party.
Because maybe one of them could've convinced him that this bombing campaign will 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, fail to accomplish his stated goals. But it will greatly increase the chances of sparking a horrific war in an already unstable region. And further endangers his already precarious bid for re-election.

This is another great example of how the American Empire's violent actions never ever accomplish the goals their leaders claim they will. And also create a shit ton of other problems down the road.
Bush's dumbass invasion of Iraq lead to a massive refugee crisis across Europe. Fascists have been cynically using this crisis to increase their power across the continent. And now we're seeing scenes like this:

I think that colonization of Africa and Middle East, arbitrary borders design and then a destabilizing decolonization are what led to the refugee crisis in Europe.
Europeans are the only ones to blame for the crisis.
Since thousands of years, they fuck up peace and prosperity wherever they decide to settle, just to increase the wellness of a few monarch / bourgeois / politician / businessman.

AI to impact 60% of jobs in developed economies: IMF
AI is likely to affect developed economies a lot more than low-income countries. However, developed economies also stand to gain more in the AI era.

This collection of ponzi schemes we call an economy will not survive permanent 20% unemployment (an optimistic prediction, btw).
We're coming to an inflection point in human history. Do we want to live in a Star Trek future, or Cyberpunk dystopia? Because we're barreling towards Cyberpunk.

DeSantis spent months hitting all 99 counties of Iowa. He has won none of them, typically losing by a lot.
Gov. Ron DeSantis wanted an Iowa win to propel his candidacy to White House. But his second place finish now leaves more questions than answers.

Mar-Jac poultry plant's "inaction" led to death of teen pulled into machine, feds say
Safety regulator blasts poultry company, saying "nothing has changed" two years after another teen was killed at a Mississippi processing facility.
www.cbsnews.com
This company was fined $212,646 for killing a teenager. Which means in any publicly traded company, if it costs $212,647 or more to ensure a safe working environment for their child laborers...they're sort of obligated to just risk paying the dead kid fee instead. It's in the best interest of the shareholders.

Much like Trump himself, these voters are unable to accept what’s happened over the past several years. Trump, in so many ways, quickly made fools of them; his various inanities, failures, and possible crimes sent them scrambling for ever more bizarre rationalizations, defenses of the indefensible that separated them from family and friends. If in 2016 they suspected, rightly or wrongly, that many Americans looked down on them for any number of reasons, they now know with certainty that millions of people look down on them—not for who they are but for what they’ve supported so vocally.

Boeing used to be the envy of the aviation world. I feel like there's a metaphor here for the entire American economy. And things aren't going to shit because of WOKENESS or DEI. They're going to shit because American capitalists looked around and said "why don't we kill the goose....then we can get all the golden eggs now."
