> one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against it

Political theater. Nothing more. Golden and Davidson played the roles they were paid to.

Republicans need this war to keep the Epstein crimes off the front page.

I opened this up just to find out whom to curse and whom to blame.
Thank goodness for Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, once again. And curses for Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, the one democrat who voted against it.
This war is already illegal. War was never declared, and all these military operations are unconstitutional. The media failing to be consistent on this obvious and blatant fact is malpractice.

Only one Democrat voted against it, but it really makes you wonder how many others were ready to join in to make sure it didn’t pass. How many of them voted for it knowing that it would fail, just so they could say that they voted for it despite supporting the war?

Crazy how there’s always just enough democrats voting against things to make sure they don’t pass. Crazy how that happens every single time. Almost like its coordinated or something.

Remember, we have the ability to vote them out and take back Congress in the Midterms. Voting works.

Jared Golden. $3,449,465 is all it takes to buy out human decency.

so coincidental that its always one democrat ruining things, maybe Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should start doing their actual fucking jobs instead of jerking each other off for Israel

Why is it that we get a vote to stop a war and not one to start?? Fuckin hell

I $ure there was a handful of other rep$ that would have been the deciding vote if nece$$ary. It wa$ thi$ dude$ turn thi$ time to take the heat. Next time there, will magically be $omeone el$e making it one vote $hort of a functioning democracy.

Controlled opposition. Primary Dino’s as soon as possible.

Funny how it is always conveniently one Democrat that crosses the aisle

It’s always set that way. What the tv show “House of Cards” taught me. Is that there’s awful people in government.

Disgraceful.

Why does it always feel like there’s always enough Democrats to do horrific things like this?
Muldrex on
Damn isn’t it so weird that whenever it comes to big votes like this there is always *juuust* the amount of democratic votes missing that would have pushed it through?
What a strange situation that it is always off by a single vote, or that horrible legislature always passed because *juust* the right amount of democrats suddenly switched sides.
How weird.
Apprehensive-Air5353 on
Huh, what a weird coincidence to seemingly always fail or succeed by just the right amount of votes so often.

Do it again.

Jared Golden should be expelled from the party.

Controlled opposition. Israel did quite the job getting leverage on nearly every US politician via AIPAC and the Child Island Honey Pot.
Which reminds me, where are those un redacted Epstein files again?

It’s crazy how the exact number of Democrats always manage to flip. These coincidences sure feel like consistencies, or maybe I’m just going insane.

It will always be by 1 vote. If the Republicans needed 8 dems, there will be 8 dems. Same shit that has happened during the previous shutdown. Same shit that happened to end trumps war powers.

I’m so tired of this country
brumac44 on
It’s not one democrat. These votes are carefully managed to barely lose, because there’s too much AIPAC money that goes to democrat politicians. They purposefully sacrifice the exact number of Democrats who are not running for re-election everytime to lose these votes, and the rest have cover from unpopular votes.

Rotating Democrat villain if it wasnt the member from Maine it would have been someone else.
Boulderchunk on
Funny how it’s always one vote.

All part of the design. This wasn’t by accident.

there’s always that one “democrat”
Solistea on
You know- it’s really suspicious how there is always 1 democrat who sells out the country at every significant congressional vote
LuckyTheBear on
Oh jeez, so close guys. Vote Blue no matter who!
(I know, I know, but c’mon, it’s very obvious many Dems are compromised and are just the establishment pretending to be the resistance)
skeetermcbeater on
If it wasn’t him, some other Dem would step up to the plate. They’re fully compromised, up to the actually progressive candidates. Hell I’m even side eyeing every one of them until we actually get something done in this country.
There was a time that politicians used every tool available to them, to get the job done. Now they just toss in a vote, throw up their hands and go on Instagram to say “Better luck next time!” The whole country’s cooked beyond being burnt. Welcome to the New United States.

You can count on republicans to fall in line. As for democrats, they are a sorry bunch of pretenders.
