Hello. Today’s #Uppers was also pretty disappointing. You get the feeling Steve Kornacki still thinks this is 2008 and elections have hope. But we don’t have a functioning legislature and it’s either going to be about filibuster reform or nothing. Not the baseball card stats of 2014 and specifically not 2016 which always pisses me off talking about it because it’s so sensational. It was also about the Syrian civil war and that Israeli bombing in Syria, and for some reason Anthony Weiner.
Oh well I had an interesting debate on the War Powers Act which was more interesting than the show. Now #Uppers.
@therealpriceman We have not had a “properly” declared war since WWII. #uppers

And has been regularly violated.It is a joke! RT @therealpriceman: @gfjacobs Which is why the War Powers Act was passed. #Uppers

A damned sad joke.RT @therealpriceman: @gfjacobs Which is why the War Powers Act was passed. #Uppers

Aid/Abetted by Congress MT @therealpriceman …but enforced w Lebanon retreat in 80s. Not always a joke, Presidents just violate it. #Uppers

Red line? When does the game of Team America World police stop? #Uppers Our involvement makes things worse in ME spec with military. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
@gfjacobs Yes but enforced nevertheless. (D)s had some principals back then and cared about Constitution/wars. Obama has no excuse. #Uppers

Always great to hear what dumb shit neocon Lindsey Graham has to say. #Uppers

The bipartisan BS war on terror fake domino effect. F that BS. It’s a lie. We can’t do anything about this. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
@therealpriceman Still not a declared war.WPA an abdication of Congressional power.but I will give you that as a law followed #uppers

.@therealpricemanvalid complaint.All wars undeclared.One example (so far) of WPA actually followed. #LousyRecordAnyway #uppers
— GFJacobs (@GFJacobs) May 5, 2013
.@therealpriceman #confusion No precedent for War or actually declaring it per the constitution? #uppers
— GFJacobs (@GFJacobs) May 5, 2013
@therealpriceman it was designed to rein in presidential power out of hand w “police actions”, however only rarely enforced.
— GFJacobs (@GFJacobs) May 5, 2013
Agreed @jtlarsen future topic? RT @therealpriceman: Anyway good debate. I agree that we have a big problem declaring wars. #Uppers

Basically party leadership apparatus of both parties tries 2 use+coopt any perceived independent movement in the end. It is their MO #Uppers

@joanwalsh is right. The young have a right to be jaded. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
Let’s be real about this. The Obama administration has not prosecuted any financial crimes since crash caused by fraud. #Executive #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
That was pretty despicable of Anthony Wiener. I have 2 wonder if we really know who all else did something similar to get elected. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
@azannaphx @joanwalsh I think they realize that they are being used for election purposes and then dumped. #Uppers

There’s one way to know if @tedcruz has a chance=If @barackobama gets (D)s to cut Social Security. Then any (R) will have a chance. #Uppers

Voters want jobs over deficit which is coming down faster than WWII which is a problem because we need deficit for full employment. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
did they say something on Chained CPI? #uppers @therealpriceman I kinda spaced out on the Politics chatter
— Greg Griffin (@GDGriffin) May 5, 2013
@therealpriceman thanx all I’m hearing is white noise #uppers
— Greg Griffin (@GDGriffin) May 5, 2013
@therealpriceman true that #uppers my mental defense is to go numb
— Greg Griffin (@GDGriffin) May 5, 2013
We also have true believers in the Democratic party. If Obama wants to cut Social Security+wage Bush war on terror it’s just fine. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
@gdgriffin This Congress baseball card shit is getting old. #Uppers
— priceman (@therealpriceman) May 5, 2013
@yeswecanjane It really is. Just read the comment section at @dailykos.

Hopefully Steve will bore me less in the future. Still I am sort o addicted to this tradition but I may quit #Uppers if it gets too bland. The same roster needs to come on. Thank you for reading.
