Republicans block resolution to take up the measure, which Democrats vow to bring up ‘again and again and again’
Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a measure that aimed to rein in Donald Trump’s power to wage war against Iran without congressional authorization.
The 53-47 vote against taking up the measure fell almost completely along party lines, with no movement from earlier this month when Republicans blocked Democrats’ bid to limit Trump’s war-making power in the days after the joint US-Israeli strikes, known as Operation Epic Fury, began across Iran.
The senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has led several war-powers efforts, was the only Republican to vote in support of the measure, while the senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who has emerged as a staunch supporter of Israel, was the only Democrat to break with his party and vote against the resolution.
You aren’t victims, you’re complicit.
And what have you been doing, O great wise one? What’s your praxis look like, other than criticizing others and discussing theory?
he stopped genocide joe thus ending the genocide
Your country. Your problem until your inaction makes it ours. Be assured when we will show you what fighting fascists looks like- a promise you will undoubtedly roll your eyes at because projecting insincerity onto those who aren’t massive cowards eases your insecurity.
“Show” us? We have thermonuclear weapons. Thousands of them. And a madman not afraid to use them. We have a CIA with a track record of torture and a BIA with a track record of unrepentant genocide on an industrial scale. And that’s not bragging, that’s a lament. What do you have, that will help those of us who want and try to stop this, when it reaches your doorstep?
You are a servile fucking coward.
Is it supposed to make you brave that you serve Putin?
You’re a fucking fraud.
You’re right. You take a break, you’re clearly doing all that you can. You must be exhausted. Poor guy.
You tankies are just perpetually angry because literally zero people like you.
