Okay, I've already had one knuckle-dragging moron accuse me of treason or something [1] because of that line about the Democrats being useless.
So I'll be perfectly, utterly clear here. This is the absolute, bare minimum that the Democrats in the US House and Senate need to do.
1. The Pentagon and White House submit a request for additional funding, to fight the illegal, undeclared, unconstitutional war Trump launched against Iran. Might be the $200 billion they're asking for now, might be less, doesn't matter.
2. The Democratic response is "No."
Not "Oh, can you get by with <lesser number>?".
Not "Well, we'll fund these acceptable parts so we don't get accused of not supporting the troops but we'll refuse these other parts".
Not grandstanding and delaying.
Not negotiating.
Not presenting counter-proposals to fund the war "their way".
Just "No."
Anything other than that is capitulation, playing into Trump's hands.
[1] His lack of argument was kind of hard to follow, to be honest, so I'm not sure what he was actually accusing me of. 🤷
