    Remember the Republican reaction when Obama did the same thing in Libya?

    Reeeeeee! 72 hours to get our approval or we’ll impeach you! Reeeeeee! Not authorized! Not funded!

    No impeachment, but they did cut funding for our operations in Libya.

    Then when our embassy there… in Benghazi… was attacked… it was years of “Reeeee! Why didn’t you DO something!!!”

      “well, then why didn’t you authorize action?”

      “we’re too busy making sure trans teen athletes don’t get free school lunches! or dignity! also, somebody in Florida said the word ‘gay’ and must be stopped!”

      “so, after that, will you do your jobs?”

      “no! because a woman in texas is racing to drive across the border to get an abortion, and if she miscarries and dies before she crosses the border, we have to dig up her corpse and try her for murder!”
