Why impeach Trump over Operation Midnight Hammer, but not Obama

[gmeyers1944]

President Trump ordered Operation Midnight Hammer. It was executed. Now Democrats are calling for him to be impeached. That figures. Why did they not impeach Barack Obama for what he did in 2016. In 2016 President Obama "The Drone Warrior-in-Chief", without Congressional approval, dropped 26,171 bombs. That is 3 bombs per hour, 24 hours a day. For them to say that Trump should be impeached and not Obama shows that politics is what is important to them!

As thread starter, you need to add a link. Like this.

Because it's just different than with Obama. Don't ask me why,
it just is.

The big difference is Iran killed Americans and hit the trade towers on American soil but I am guessing you knew that.

 

[struth]

Well, because Obama didn't take out Iran's nuclear sites. He didn't do anything to upset the Supreme Leader, and the Islamfascist that are running the Demafascist party.

Bombs Dropped by Obama in 2016​

In 2016, President Barack Obama’s administration dropped an estimated 26,171 to 26,172 bombs across seven countries. The vast majority—over 24,000—were dropped in Iraq and Syria as part of the campaign against ISIS123. Other countries targeted included Afghanistan (1,337 bombs), Libya (496 bombs), Yemen (34–35 bombs), Somalia (14 bombs), and Pakistan (3 bombs)23.


This equates to an average of about three bombs every hour, every day, throughout 20163.

Congressional Approval for Military Actions​

Obama rarely sought explicit congressional approval for these bombing campaigns. In particular:

• Libya (2011): Obama did not seek congressional authorization for the intervention. The administration argued that the U.S. role did not amount to "hostilities" under the War Powers Resolution, despite bipartisan criticism and legal debate4567.
• Other Campaigns: For ongoing drone campaigns and airstrikes in countries like Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, Obama relied on the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed after the September 11 attacks, rather than seeking new or specific congressional approval7.

It's obvious hypocrisy.

Operation Inherent Resolve. Done by a large coalition including the US, Britain, France, Germany, the SDF of Syria, Iraq, and even Russia. The targets were what was left of ISIS trying to reform with it's new Caliphate.

America Dropped 26,171 Bombs in 2016. What a Bloody End to Obama’s Reign

Good enough?

 

[BluesLegend]

Because when Dems lose the White House they say F all of you! Dems don't give a shit about elections, the Constitution or the law. When they lose if the Republican dares use any of their presidential powers the unhinged Dems yell IMPEACH or run to the courts to have some hack Dem shill judge block the president. The will of the American people and elections be damned.

THAT'S why.

 

[BluesLegend]

Idiot Dem's don't get it, they are giving Americans a very good look at who Dems truly are!

Ahhh... another excuse maker. Are you saying what Obama did was right?

It's not possible to draw any comparisons to Dem presidents because Dems view EVERY Republican president as illegitimate and stripped of any presidential powers.

You left out all the other members of the coalition like Britain, Iraq, the SDF of Syria and most of Europe.

Of the airstrikes, 70% have been conducted by the military of the United States, 20% by the United Kingdom and the remaining 10% being carried out by France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and Jordan.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Inherent_Resolve#cite_note-103"><span>[</span>103<span>]</span></a>

"It's different, oh so very different, when WE do it!!!"

No! I am not doing that. I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats!

LOL - and do you realize you're also pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans?

Obama did what Trump did, but on a more massive scale across 7 countries.

The point is that Obama did not have Congressional approval!
