#Senate advances’measure to limit #Trump #WarPowers in #Iran with #GOP defections

The Senate advanced a measure Tuesday aimed at restricting Trump’s #war powers by requiring approval by #Congress for any future military action in #Iran [the freaking #law].

The measure advanced, 50-47. POS Schizo [colloquial usage] Dem Sen #JohnFetterman joined #Republicans in rejecting it, while GOP Sens #RandPaul, #SusanCollins, #LisaMurkowski & #BillCassidy voted with #Democrats.

Fast-forward to today, and it is genuinely entertaining to watch Thomas Massie and Rand Paul be foil—however inconsequential—to Donald Trump's plans for stupid taxes and wars. However, it may be only a matter of years before the #GOP dispenses with the two men. Here's hoping then as a silver lining that Americans would finally break their two-party addiction. There should really be, like, nine parties, not two. (2/2)

Whatever happens in Kentucky's GOP primary, the populist right no longer even pretends to care about spending or government overreach.

The younger Paul, who recently served as a congressional aide to two of Lawler’s Republican colleagues in the House, went on “a 10-minute diatribe about Jews” at the Tune Inn Restaurant & Bar on Pennsylvania Avenue, Lawler said, and “said that he hates Jews and hates gays and doesn’t care if they die”.

"#WilliamPaul, the 33-year-old eldest son of #US #Senator #RandPaul (R-#Kentucky), launched into an expletive-filled #antisemitic and anti-#gay rant at a popular #CapitolHill bar on Tuesday night.

According to eyewitnesses, including #Rep. #MikeLawler (R-#NewYork) and a reporter from #NOTUS, William #Paul approached their table at the #TuneInn bar and identified himself as Sen. Rand Paul’s son. What began as a political discussion quickly escalated into a roughly 10-minute drunken tirade.

Paul reportedly said:

“This war, it’s all about the #gays and the #Jews, and I hate them both, and I don’t care if they die.”

He also told #Lawler “your people” would be blamed if Rep. #ThomasMassie loses his primary, then clarified “your people” meant Jews."
