Face, meet leopard: > **[Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/28/us/milo-yiannopoulos-detained-by-ice)** > > Controversial British figure Milo Yiannopoulos, who gained a reputation as a right-wing provocateur more than a decade ago, has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday. Presumably Milo didn’t actually vote for the Leopards-Eating-Faces Party, on account of not being a US citizen, but this feels like it best fits in this thread. ---

We’re _not_ at war with Iran. If you wish to gainsay me, you may do so by linking to the declaration of war. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > We’re _not_ at war with Iran. > > If you wish to gainsay me, you may do so by linking to the declaration of war. This is a pretty weak argument to make, considering that the U.S. has not [formally declared war on any country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States#Formal_declarations_of_war) since WWII more than 80 years ago. (Nor has Trump bothered to get congressional authorization for the current conflict, in violation of the [War Powers Resolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution) of 1973. This violation of the law should be an impeachable act, but of course our supine Congress does nothing.) ---

I’m not advancing an argument. I’m expressing frustration that the America-hating fuckstick is (as usual) flouting the constitution (just as Shrub did in 2003). ---

The U.S. is devolving into an elected dictatorship in which the constitutional checks and balances have all but evaporated, and where the other branches of government largely rubber-stamp or give their tacit approval to the actions of the executive. And Trump is not even pretending to follow the law and the Constitution. Hours after purporting to follow the requirements of the War Powers Act back _in April_ (which itself was about eight ceasefires ago) he acknowledged that the U.S. is at war with Iran.
