The Senate on Tuesday advanced a resolution to halt military action in Iran after a surprise defection from Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s war effort.

The vote, though preliminary, shows that the Senate now has the votes to force Trump to pull back the military from Iran or seek congressional approval for additional action.

So he’s about himself and not his constituents. DC is such a cesspool.

This gives the president an off ramp, IMO. Not sure he will use it, and I'm not sure I want him to use it.

But it does give him an off ramp and the ability to blame others.

It’s a nice way for Trump to get the hell out of there and blame the Senate. They are giving him a way out.

Showing his true colors. He would have voted this way even if LA would have voted him in.

Hes a piece of shite and luckily we smelled it this time around.

What is hidden within that legislation that will give perks to the politicians? They only ever move when perks for themselves are involved.

this is true

it is also true that Cassidy is a total piece of shite that NEVER had business representing the people - he is a man of very low character and zero integrity

It has zero chance of passing, but everyone can now see what s PoS Cassidy obviously always was.

In more ways than you know. Aside from the proposition being Constitutionally idiotic, Operation Epic Fury concluded on May 5, 2026, there is no way in hell Congress has the votes to overcome a veto.

Just one more example of Cassidy being a total complete unadulterated imbecile. I am embarrassed the SOB ever smelled winning an election in LA. Horrible!

It's completely symbolic. The Senate can't force Trump to pull back or seek approval. He can just ignore this.

He’s showing exactly how he would’ve voted over the next 4-1/2 to 5 years had he been reelected. He’s a no-good lying scumbag who’s really a f*cking democrat but becomes a Trump supporting conservative during reelection years.

Once again – F*CK THAT LYING SCUMBAG C*CKSUCKER!!!

Fun fact:

Abraham Lincoln conducted a major 4 year war without the permission of Congress or a Delclaration of War.
