The sabotage of negotiations started before the fighting even began. Iran sends their thanks.

Yes, at least they’re paying attention and may be growing something approximating balls…

That's for sure. In WWII the bulk of democrats weren't radical leftists trying to undermine the country.

That is so disingenuous. You know damn well you don’t undermine a president in the middle of negotiations with a terrorist regime.



also probably why most presidents don't primary against their own party's incumbents during the miderms

And Iran isn't the regional threat that Nazi Germany was in Europe

What countries have they invaded?

Another thing that’s bullshite about the conservative score you can vote no against the war yet frick over your own party. They really need to remove the R from his name and make him an I for the rest of this Congress.

it was a "continuing resolution" not a "joint resolution", so it carries no real constitutional power.

it was done for political theatre, and 4 RINOs with TDS voted to hurt trump....

all this does is embolden Iran to think they can wait it out.....

They will be when they acquire nuclear weapons, which was very close. They had already built and situated their conventional forces in preparation for blocking international waters in the SOH.

They have militia operating all over the middle east. When you finance armed forces to operate in other countries against those countries' will, that's a defacto invasion.

Might have gone better if your side and the media hadn’t tried to undermine Trump’s every move.

We’ve been under a continuing resolution since Jug Ears. Did this bill address that?

Plus they have to win the house unless they are counting on the RINOs.

this is what they are angling to, should dems take the house in the fall. but, if you read up on the War power act and the process to end the 60 (+30) window, congress must pass a Joint Resolution which becomes "law" after being passed by a simple majority in both chambers, and is not need to be signed by the president (so also cannot be vetoed).

however, a joint resolution requires 60 votes to end debate (so would be effected by filibuster rules)

and the caveat to all of this, is the supreme court has never vetted the constitutionality of the war powers act.
