The Republican-led Senate voted down a procedural measure intended to block President Donald Trump from ordering further military strikes on Iran without congressional approval.
“We should let him finish the job,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Tuesday, voicing support for a U.S.-Israeli air campaign that began five days ago
This administration doesn’t even know what “finish the job” looks like, you fucking Russian tool.
The police, next time they catch me robbing a gas station, should just “let me finish job”
Lady Lindsey has never seen a war it didn’t love to sell arms for. You should have seen it creaming all over itself on Meet the Press the day after the attacks started.
Fetterman is the modern day Brutus to the DNC, the quintessential “backstabber” that keeps on stabbing.
I mean, his vote wasn’t gonna change shit, but it sure says something when he’s the singular Dem breaking ranks. What a fucking tool.
Cancelled Young’s vote.
Fetterman is the modern day Brutus
Brutus stabbed Ceaser in the back. And our American Ceaser seems about as safe from Fetterman as anyone.
Brutus was also an elegant public speaker and a famously good lay
and a famously good lay
Can vouch.
Iulia?
At least he got his golden pager after his hospital visit. Some never even got one of those.
In this case he voted “Yay” to curtail Trump ordering strikes.
I am quite sure that at some point - hopefully soon - the narrative will be “don’t blame us, it was all that awful Trump’s fault. It was just one rogue president!”
No, it wasn’t. This belongs to all of you.
Which is why the Constitution gives the exclusive power to initiate war to the Congress. They’re supposed to have skin in the game and fear for reelection if they enter into an unpopular war. It’s not just that they didn’t trust the office most inclined to go to war to make the decision, they wanted to spread responsibility across the branch most responsive to public opinion so they couldn’t dodge responsibility.
I think the Republicans in Congress truly believe that Trump is going to be able to stop the next election cycle. So they have no fear of losing their place.
cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message
Hey Fetterman, the message we want to send is “Don’t fucking start wars in random non-aggressive countries on behalf of Israel”. That’s absolutely the right message which should be sent right at this moment you asshole.
I feel for anyone who has a brain injury, but if Fetterman isn’t the living example of brain damage leading to conservatism, nothing is.
Or a fake Democrat from the start
brain damage leading to conservatism
Always wondered if the inverse is true as well 🤔
There is a correlation to higher education and liberalism. If you don’t like that one, there’s a correlation between mindfulness and liberalism.
Yep Ive heard that and agree. By inverse, I was implying that conservativism causes brain damage… not that brain damage causes liberalism lmao 🤣
If you want to be precise, that’s called the converse in formal logic
Ah shit, appreciated and duly noted for the future lol
Conservatism causing brain damage?
I would think letting Faux News and hate radio take a daily dump in your head might actually have measurable effects at rewiring your brain in harmful ways.
Yes thats exactly what I meant by inverse
No. He was a fake from the start. He isn’t even voting along some kind of ideological line, he is literally just voting how Republicans tell him to vote, just like any other republican.
This is backwards. Congress did not need to pass such a resolution. The president needs to ask permission.
47 vs 53. So not close. We are fucked
[edited]: format, source, also there was two posting of this issue with different results. This is the second posting which news articles are referring too.

The article states Fetterman crossed the aisle and voted with republicans
You’re right, there’s two listings. Let me update.
Updated
Does this make sense in better formatting? I only see a list of reps. Voyager on android
Voyager on Android too. You just have to be careful to distinguish Yeahs and Nays. Otherwise, yeah.
I’m on pieced, not sure how to do that on mobile. I’ll try. Should be yes, then nos then 1 not vote.
Updated
Wait. Hawley voted Y?
Updated
Go Young!As a Hoosier, this is honestly mind-blowing to me. I had to read the list twice.
Updated
Ahh, there’s that spineless worm I’ve come to expect.
Updated
It’s so weird that cuckservatives are letting Donvict have his way with America.
Ha! Ha! HA I SAY!
This needs to be referenced next time an american tries to tell any of us that they still have a real nation with functioning rule of law.
What kind of idiot would claim that?
The american kind mostly. Just wait, I know I will see at least one in the week.
That makes you an accomplice to a war criminal.
We should do something about that in 2028.
We should do something about it NOW
All these motherfuckers are traitors who are intent on destroying American society for their own benefit
All Senate Democrats voted for the resolution except for Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has argued that cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message.
Can we please kick this asshole out of the democratic party for fuck sake???
Pieces of Shit = Government of Pedos (GOP).
Cant wait to watch when susan collins loses by double digits because of how bad of a politician she is
Yep, just like the last 75 times…
