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…
At this point, I can only assume that the reason fetterman’s it getting jeered from every board/chair/whatever panel hes on is because Cluck Cluck Chuck wants him voting the way he is.
If you can’t be arsed to stop a rogue president starting wars without apporval, stop genocided and war crimes and just generally doing the most basic “right thing” possible, you’re not going to vote against said rogue asswipe. Ever.
