Senate votes down measure aiming to limit Trump’s war powers by 53-47 vote - Lemmy.World
Republicans block resolution to take up the measure, which Democrats vow to
bring up ‘again and again and again’ Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a
measure that aimed to rein in Donald Trump’s power to wage war against Iran
without congressional authorization. The 53-47 vote against taking up the
measure fell almost completely along party lines, with no movement from earlier
this month when Republicans blocked Democrats’ bid to limit Trump’s war-making
power in the days after the joint US-Israeli strikes, known as Operation Epic
Fury, began across Iran. The senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has led several
war-powers efforts, was the only Republican to vote in support of the measure,
while the senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who has emerged as a staunch
supporter of Israel, was the only Democrat to break with his party and vote
against the resolution.
That was close. The buffoon will now think he has limitless powers.
He has seized more power every day and the only people with the balls to try to stop him are either dead or in jail because they tried.
What else do you expect when all Americans can do is a clown-ass “No Kings” parade where they congratulate themselves for being non-threatening every three months?
I expect cunts to victim blame
You aren’t victims, you’re complicit.
And what have you been doing, O great wise one? What’s your praxis look like, other than criticizing others and discussing theory?
Your country. Your problem until your inaction makes it ours. Be assured when we will show you what fighting fascists looks like- a promise you will undoubtedly roll your eyes at because projecting insincerity onto those who aren’t massive cowards eases your insecurity.
“Show” us? We have thermonuclear weapons. Thousands of them. And a madman not afraid to use them. We have a CIA with a track record of torture and a BIA with a track record of unrepentant genocide on an industrial scale. And that’s not bragging, that’s a lament. What do you have, that will help those of us who want and try to stop this, when it reaches your doorstep?
