In a Friday evening vote, the U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes.

Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on a measure offered by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have prohibited Trump from offensive measures while preserving his ability to defend U.S. forces.

Kaine’s resolution drew near-unanimous support from Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

      but specifically he started this Donkey Kong waving flags on roofs kind of thing in '23 so i think post what you are referring to

        I’ll have to look it up because I was reading that as he was waving flags supporting Gaza and post stroke everything I’ve heard is he went from being slightly pro Israel to staunchly pro Israel to the extent that many on his staff were speaking out calling his actions gross and being upset he went back to being on twitter claiming people should protest about women in Israel getting raped when Israel is murdering a whole populous and has many reports of them raping/torturing men/women and such.

          it sounds like you’d better go look it up

          i don’t recommend getting to know him or living in his state, DEFINITELY avoid braddock (because the air is poison), if you hear he is going to be somewhere that you are also going to be, try to avoid being hit with barrels
