Knowledge is power
Chafee, who is mostly silly and ineffectual, just did something serious that gathered my respect. In an RT interview he showed a copy of the original 9/11 Authorization of Force, complete with penciled revisions and crossouts. He noted that the document empowered BUSH, not simply a president, to decide which countries to obliterate.
It says "He shall determine", not "He or she shall determine." Chafee pointed out that all Federal documents have been gender-neutral for a long time [and legal documents have been neutral even longer, for simple precision]. The use of he meant that Congress was sending the authority to Bush the man, not just Current Occupant Of White House.
Chafee has done God's work. Power flows from the file cabinet of a blackmailer. Deepstate runs on secrets and extortion and honeytraps. Elections are utterly meaningless, and even money and status can be overruled easily by blackmail.
Any politician who claims to be 'independent' or 'anti-establishment' MUST start by popping blackmail bubbles. Tell us something we don't know, give all the details, and explain the implicit interpretations. Chafee did it, and I respect him.
Your turn, Tulsi, though I don't think you're up to the task.
