Billy PrempehBilly Prempeh For Congress – Make New Jersey Great Again



He had an interesting conversation with Tim Pool. He is quite engaging. No need to listen to the whole podcast, but you may find yourself doing so anyhow.

I wish him well. He's got his work cut out for him. NJ-9 is a solid Democratic district, and he's running against a guy who's been in Congress since 1996. He's also going to outspend Prempeh 30:1

D+16 district. This dude's election was doomed before it started.

That is what many Democrats said about Joe Biden after his pathetic vote tallies in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Why does that matter?

Robert Torricelli's old district. Hasn't gone red since the early 80s.

He is a cool guy. I'd love to hang with him.

What else do you call Congress voting for a war to happen and George Bush announcing on national television he will do it?

A declaration of war is a specific act, which confers specific powers (blockade, etc).

Congress wimped out and said "we'll let the president decide." Not the same thing. We haven't declared war since 1941.

Wrong. We declared war on Vietnam much later.

I will never forgive George Bush for letting Congress drag its feet, allowing our military to lose track of where the responsible terrorist was hiding, because the next day he knew who did it. There was no reason for Bush to wait until October 7, nearly a month after the terrorists said they did it,. The Vietnam War was stupid. The Iraq War was stupid. But he badly screwed up on not declaring war the week of September 9, 2001.

We did not. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was not a declaration of war.

Don't want to go further off topic, but want to correct this error. "The last time the United States formally declared war, using specific terminology, on any nation was in 1942, when war was declared against Axis-allied Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania, because President Franklin Roosevelt thought it was improper to engage in hostilities against a country without a formal declaration of war. Since then, every American president has used military force without a declaration of war." Wikipedia

I disagree. War wasn't needed in Afghanistan. Those folks turn coat to the highest bidder all the time and Bin Laden would've been out of the picture in no time had we waved the cash and black-opt the mission. Instead we said, "HERE WE COME!!!!!" which gave them plenty of time to hide and prep their guerrilla campaign.
