Some Republican senators seem to be regrowing their backbones.

Doesn't matter - they already sold their souls.

Thank God the President has his veto powers.

Let's leave it to this most stable of all geniuses to decide military action on His own. His generals are all stupid, and Congress is clearly in the hands of far-left weak-kneed socialists.
All hail Trump! We serve at thy pleasure, O Lord!

Veto. But thanks for the advice

Trump should own it.

Trump is under enormous pressure to start a war with Iran and North Korea and keep troops in the Middle East indefinitely from the Deep State which comprises liberals and conservatives.
Stay strong, Mr. President.

Resist the temptation to adhere to the principles of a liberal democracy and its separation of powers!
Stay strong!

Behold the power of Veto!

Gee, what's the matter Mitch, losing control of your caucus?
Moscow Mitch is in trouble, and his Marine fighter pilot Dem challenger is going to send a Sidewinder up his backside this Nov...
Dump Trump/Pitch Pence/Ditch Mitch 2020!

NO, they love Trump, but we get the check and balances, but at least the President can override them if he so chooses.
Like the way, Mueller will lock Trump up or as you said, he will be impeached and thrown out or Hillary will beat him. Your predictions are too funny. Lol
All wrong, all the time.
Will never happen.

Exactly. President "all is well" Trump will own it. Fine with me.
Sneezy
If the President can ignore them, they're not checks or balances.

"Love" Trump? You think these Repubs love him? You need to get back to reality...I'm sure Cruz loves him after he said his father was involved in the JFK assassination. And "Little Marco" sure loves him. And Romney just loves perverts...
Those are your predictions, not mine. And he's definitely headed to jail - who's signature is on that Stormy payoff check in black Sharpie?
You mean like Bolton never turning on Trump? Sure...
So, is Barr a "Backstabber"? How about Bannon? Tell us your opinion...

Taking ownership of things is not Donny’s strong point unless he’s trying to take ownership of things Obama did that benefit our country under Donny.

Looks like some of the GOP senators have started thinking about their future!!!
Donny will be gone by next year and looks like they have started escaping Donny's swamp!!!
Things don't look too good for the 'Carnival Barking Clown'.

I get the sense that you like checks and balances when it comes to presidents you don’t like. It’s a bit like your claim to be a fiscal conservative - you hate ( used to hate? ) the idea of governments piling on debt unless it is paying for something you like.
You are not very consistent on principles.

NO, they love Trump
Hmm, Trump had better grow eyes in the back of his head 'cos Machiavelli Mitch ain't planning to let his political career go down with Trump on his sinking ship. He's probably already working out a Plan B and getting his Republican lifeboat ready. If a second impeachment hits, he'll jump ship for sure.

We're a republic.

I'm not sure which nation 'we' refers to, and I know you've stated you don't trust the US government, but this link - from the US government - says the US republic is a 'representative democracy'.
To check Google: "Democracy in the United States - USCIS"
If you don't trust Google, use Yandex to see how the Kremlin describes the US system of government. I know many Trump supporters believe Russia and not the US.

Indeed, the "Snake" likely does have a fall-back plan, and my guess it involves Nikki Haley, who has to be one of the shrewdest and most ambitious politicians out there.
And as a Democrat, she'd be a formidable Presidential candidate...
That's why you won't see her dissing Donnie - until he's disgraced and tossed out of the WH.

Its amusing that both houses of congress are attempting to limiting Trumps powers to start wars when he has been the least war mongering President, the Bushes and Obama were more likely to start or support wars.
bass4funk
Oh, most definitely. Lol
No, because they know the President can veto any measure they throw at him on this issue.
Really? How? Not by Warren, Pete, Biden, Bloomberg and definitely not Sanders, the only thing that the Democrats can do is hope and pray that 2020 for that they’ll have a chance at maybe winning a democrat nomination, but as of now it doesn’t look like it’s happening. Even the smartest Democrats on the Hill know this.
Sanders should hand in the towel. Yeah, the Socialist vs the Capitalist. Lol!!
Even Democrats don’t want a socialist.
