Radical left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has slammed outgoing President Joe Biden for starting World War III on his way out of office.
Mr. Moore announced that “Dear Joe” Letter He noted that Biden recently laid out a challenge in his final days in office to “consolidate his status as a 'great president,'” adding, “You have done none of that. ” he lamented. But even worse than ignoring Moore's suggestions, the filmmaker said, “Meanwhile, you seem intent on cementing your record as a warmonger, doubling down on your worst mistakes and worst impulses.'' “It seems like it is,” he claimed.
of columbine bowling The director then explained some of Biden's “warmongering.”
Instead of using the precious little time he has left to do something to help the American people, Trump's first action after winning was to ship more than $6 billion in weapons to Ukraine. It was a matter of moving quickly. Then you called Zelensky and gave him permission to start launching long-range ballistic missiles at Russia, a country with a large number of nuclear weapons. Then, as if a week of carnage wasn't enough, he authorized the use of anti-personnel mines in Russia.
Mine, Joe? Seriously? Is this your legacy? Do you want to go out with this? In the flames of fear? For example, if Joe has to go, we all have to go with him… right into World War III?
Moore noted that the U.S. is spending $1 billion on efforts to clear landmines from war-torn places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, which “we invaded and demined.” “The place I left behind,” he added.
“Vietnam was 50 years ago, Joe. And kids in Southeast Asia are still getting their arms blown off by our mines. That's your legacy, Joe. This is what you're doing.” said Mr. Moore furiously.
Moore also expressed disgust at the White House's lobbying of the 19 Democratic senators who moved to block Biden's weapons shipments to Israel, saying the Biden administration has accused them of being Hamas supporters. He expressed his anger at the criticism.
The Hollywood elitist then accused the Biden administration of blocking a UN vote for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, adding: “America has single-handedly blocked a ceasefire once again.” The only country that spoke out in support of more death and destruction was the country of which you and I are citizens. This is your legacy, Joe? ”
Next up: “Is This Your Legacy, Joe?” A key point Moore included in his screed was Biden's refusal to uphold the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Ta.
He had more suggestions for Biden as he began to conclude his letter of accusation, writing: Perhaps we should instead focus on what matters to Americans,” he said, calling on Biden to “make real, powerful change” in the remaining two months he has left.
And he suggests the Equal Rights Amendment is “a no-brainer.”
You have the power to order that the ERA be formally enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It took me almost four years to do this. It must be ratified by the required number of states and promulgated as the 28th Amendment. The vast majority of women, who make up 51% of the population of the United States, as in nearly every other Western democracy, are considered equal citizens and equal human beings, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. should be recognized as such.
“You have the power to do this, Joe. You have the power to make this your legacy,” Moore concluded. “So, Joe, the last thing I really want to say is, just give it a try.”
But it's not at all clear that Biden has such power. The original language of the ERA, which states considered for ratification in 1974, provided a seven-year deadline for a three-quarters (38 states) vote. Only 35 of 38 states ratified the amendment to make it part of the U.S. Constitution, and that time has passed. This amendment has been constantly reintroduced in subsequent Congresses, but has never passed at the rate it should.
Two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court — Dillon vs. Gross (1921) and coleman vs miller (1939) — both argued that adding time limits was a legitimate political practice that Congress had the power to intervene. However, although there is no direct case law considering the issue of setting time limits on constitutional amendments, there is no reason to believe that SCOTUS will not simply adopt the two previous decisions as precedent.
So the truth is, it's not at all clear that Biden has the power to add a defense rating to the U.S. Constitution at his convenience. And even if they wanted to, the last two months are simply not enough time to propose this move and get approval to implement it.
