He never did. He will get great leeway from Israel and Saudi Arabia as he converts Gaza into Trumpistan.

The vote is a travesty! Had it passed, it would have simply confirmed (not established) that the war is illegal, and he would have vetoed it.

The correct response is to file articles of impeachment.

Then file articles of impeachment.

Your YES vote is only confirming that what he is doing is waging an illegal war.

If only.

This will be funded shortly in a bipartisan manner. Then, over the summer, there will be backlash against Democrats for funding the war. From their primary candidates and their Republican opponents who themselves would have voted for the funding.

Lady, I do not have a vote. I am simply pointing out that some Democrats (in addition to just about ALL Republicans) are contemplating it.

What is "wrong" about those facts?

Sadly, some of your Democratic colleagues are considering funding this war.

They continue to commit crimes and break *existing* laws.

What "reining in" are you deluding yourself into enacting?

I hope the 2 in 3 veterans who voted for this administration feel ashamed and stand up for their brutally assaulted comrade.

Nations without a nuke are subject to the same treatment as Venezuela, Iran, and previously Iraq.

Then there are nations with nukes: Israel, Pakistan, India, N. Korea, for instance.

Zelenskyy does not want Russia to keep the land it annexed after its invasion. As a starting point.

$4 million US interceptors against $20k Iranian drones is not sustainable.

Need low-tech, and hence the appeal to Ukraine.

Does Noem get to keep his fuck-plane?

Does Lewandowski stay on the fuck-plane with Markwayne or follow Noem to wherever she is going?

These are important questions.

I can believe rising costs. ICE? I am not so sure. After all, TACO 45 made this his strongest campaign promise.

I am not as optimistic in states like TX, FL, or GA.

That is not good. Araghchi's bravado might enrage TACO 45 into doing just that.

Good.

Hopefully, this can translate into a Democrat winning a statewide office or being elected to the Senate in the next decade or two.

Progress is definitely good, no matter how slow it is.

After that, Jake Tapper called her directly and apologized.

Then, Jake Tapper slithered into the CNN lunchroom and started writing another book on Biden's mental acuity.

Yes, Jake Tapper is *that* cunning.

More conservative in their values than their politics?

Meaning? They might oppose abortion but support Democrats, as an example?

Seems odd to think of that cross-section.

50% want to abolish ICE.

Do 50% of congressional Democrats want to abolish ICE?

As a contrast, 80% want background checks for gun purchases.
63% want abortion to be as legal as it was before Dobbs.

Until voters care about these issues enough to cast their vote accordingly, nothing's happening.

Your tolerance to suffer fools being way higher than mine, easy to block someone I don’t know.

Thanks.

Estimate the odds for Dems winning the Senate in November. They HAVE to win all of these!

πŸ”΅ Michigan someone new

πŸ”΅ Georgia Ossoff in red Georgia

πŸ”΅ New Hampshire someone new

πŸ”΄ Maine Collins is the incumbent

πŸ”΄ North Carolina red state

πŸ”΄ Ohio red state

πŸ”΄ Alaska red state

This was predictable and predicted. Even if this had passed into law, he would have vetoed it.

Given that @schumer.senate.gov had NO chance of this passing (and he knew it) he should have at least failed trying to do the right thing: CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT AND REMOVAL OVER AN ILLEGAL WAR!
