I think that says it all, about the party and about who is controlling the country. And that doesn’t even guarantee the one republican would vote with the Dems.

It was reported about a week ago that Congress was considering this. I even heard that there were some GOP members that also wanted to act. But, no, even though they all knew this was imminent, they sat on their hands and did nothing. They are playing politics with the lives of service members. F*ck them all.

Republicans do not have the balls to go up against Donny-wanna-be-nobel-prize-winners war machine.

Bit too late, isn’t it? The war is on.

This is an unserious party. They should have been reapportioning power for the better part of 2 decades. Instead they were complacent.

Well it won’t happen because it’s not what America voted for.

Didn’t they demand this last week? All talk no action. Drain all the swamp. Get new folks in. Enough of these moderates.

Mike Johnson, “Nah, I didn’t hear anything about that.”

Too late. You let the federal government wage war on its own citizens. You voted to fund it. All of it.
That’s it? They need to stop everything and have wall to wall condemnation

This won’t happen because this military action is unpopular, and members who are in favor of it don’t want to be on record.

Is that the one they intentionally delayed for two weeks so it would be meaningless?
sureshot58 on
so, we all knew this was coming – they have been openly saying so for the past week – you should have been demanding it LAST f’in week. WTF. You are complicit for not working to stop it in advance. Man our govt is so f’kd

Trump, “congress said No? I’ll stop, then.” Like that’s going to happen. The DIC, Dictator in Chief, will do anything he wants.

Any chance they can send Trump’s personal ICE army to do the fighting instead?

Democrats demand war powers vote after U.S. strikes Iran … so they can officially express their approval of the unprovoked attack.
No-Fennel-8333 on
This administration’s tactic has been to ignore the law, wait for the courts to weigh in, and then ignore the rulings if they’re not favorable. And by the time it even gets to court it’s too late.
At this point it doesn’t matter what congress does or says because we’re already at war now.
If that fails they can always try pissing in the wind! 💪

Democrats demand the door be closed after the horses have run off.

They need to do simply worded dumbed down branding like Trump. Call it the “don’t let Don start WWIII act”

wtf is that going to do? We are already at war with Iran.

Democrats if they are smart: “Republicans want you to let Trump go to war. Don’t let them. Vote blue this midterm!”

There is no opposition party in the US.

For the record, Iran was in full compliance with the JCPOA until the Turdgerine clown pulled us out of the agreement.
America, and much of the world, are less safe because of that stupid child fucker.

Rubio looked very somber and stressed at the SOU. When Trump complimented him, he was almost despondent.

Republicans demand Trump be allowed to wave the might of the US military around like a massive dong as he sees fit with no oversight whatsoever.

But not the leadership who quashed it beforehand. Shumer and Jeffries are for this

Both Democrats AND Republicans should be fucking saying this. Screw partisan politics.

ALL of Congress should demand it! Trump should be impeached, then criminally tried.

Wow, just in time! Fucking unreal.

They’re demanding a vote so they can vote *against* it, right? Right?

Or are the Dems using their usual political savvy to attach their name onto another disastrous bloodbath that’s going to have repercussions for half a century or more?
NoPopack on
Regardless of party, Congress asserting its war powers is literally how the system is designed to work. Military action shouldn’t bypass debate.

Let’s get an official list of the republicans who were just blowing smoke with that “president of peace” bullshit.

Everyone who is saying it’s too late is missing the point. He is just going to do it again. We need to act, this is ridiculous.

Vote them all out. Fuck Israel.
A little late…
Should be impeachment.

It’s bound to fail so many Dems are bought and paid for by AIPAC. Jeffries alone [took $866k from AIPAC.](https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/hakeem-jeffries/summary?cid=N00033640)
