The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt Donald Trump’s war in Iran, turning aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action.
The 47-52 vote was the fourth time this year that the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to the president in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified.
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against it. Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted with Democrats.
I don’t know, man. I’m a Democrat because I support policies like marijuana legalization and free healthcare. The conflict in Iran is pretty low on my agenda. I wouldn’t feel particularly betrayed if he was my elected official.
I never understood bipartisanship. My opinions and beliefs span the entire political spectrum. It feels like people think that anything supported by Republicans must be anti-Democrat.
It’s costing US taxpayers an insane amount of money every day and driving up the cost of almost everything, you can’t just not care about it, even if you overlook all the needless death.
Damn, a self aware person plainly stating their own selfishness. Don’t see that every day.
Bizarre.
It’s akin to saying “I understand slavery is bad, I just don’t care. Mr Jeeves is a pretty good slave.”
