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.
Why is it that every time we get rid of the Joe Manchins of the party, someone else insists on taking on his role and torpedoing whatever Democrats manage to try to accomplish? There’s always one. Sometimes two.
It’s not pro wrestling. We don’t need someone “turning heel” at the last minute and “Swerving the voters” to keep things entertaining. We don’t need character twists like it’s some kind of HBO drama. But yet every time one of these Manchin morons goes, it’s like Democrats say “Ladies and gentlemen, the role of ‘Shitstain Democrat here to gum up the works’ will now be played by…”
Because the big money is always trying to find the weakest link?
I feel like this guy is worse than manchin, at least with manchin, he didn’t run on such lies as this asshole.
The radio waves blocked by my tinfoil hat tell me two possibilities: the Republicans can always find dirt on a compromised congressperson OR it’s actually a single party run by oligarchs through managed opposition.
Yeah. OK…
Or, as in Fetterman’s case, have a stroke and wake up with what’s left of your brain completely deranged, utterly fucked, and suffering the delusions of the rest of the MAGAts.
There really needs to be a way to recall vote someone in any similar situation. 🤡 💩
