The US Senate on Wednesday once again voted down a resolution that would have restricted President Donald Trump’s ability to use military force against Iran, and this time a Democratic senator was the deciding vote.
The resolution failed after Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) voted with the majority of Republican senators against a war powers resolution introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.).
The resolution would would have passed had Fetterman supported it because Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) all voted in favor.
This is now the seventh time the Senate has blocked a war powers resolution on Iran since Trump illegally began the conflict in late February…
I used to believe that but what is the point anymore? They have the literal keys to the kingdom and speed running fascism. Why pretend anymore?
Because the American people are a violent bunch, so they have to somewhat pretend otherwise face that violence. If the democratic base used that violence against the democratic leadership I’m sure the republicans would be cheering and suddenly you have both sides rooting for violence against government officials, which can quickly spiral out of control.
