By a 50 - 47 vote, the Senate passed a resolution to force the unstable Malignant Fascist from pursuing his war on Iran without Congressional approval. In a delicious twist, the winning vote was supplied by Sen. Bill Cassidy, who the MF had campaigned against for reelection, and who will be in office for another 7 months. From NBC News:
"The Senate voted 50-47 on Tuesday to move forward with a resolution to force President Donald Trump to end the war in Iran, a breakthrough for the Democratic-led effort.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who just lost his primary for renomination over the weekend after he faced opposition from Trump, voted 'yes' to advance the measure, the first time he has done so after having repeatedly voted 'no.' [snip]
Introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., the resolution says that 'Congress hereby directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.'”
Maybe Cassidy, now freed from his MAGAt cult cage if he wants to be free, will start to defy the MF on such votes. Interestingly, two Republican Senators who missed the vote are not on the best of terms with the MF, retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (NC) and Sen. John Cornyn (TX), who the vindictive MF just denied his endorsement for re-election.
Despite the MF's war being overwhelmingly unpopular, his cult in Congress won't budge on restraining his impulsive actions toward Iran, even as they threaten not only the U.S. economy, but that of the world.
makes shit bit of difference - they will do whatever they want no matter what.
