The time to vote on this was months ago when the second aircraft carrier started moving from VZ towards the Middle East, you know, when you could have prevented this bullshit...

And in fact Dem leadership has been actively stymieing the bill. It's almost like they actually want war with Iran

right? i called sometime last week, down to the hour, when the strike was going to happen. i mean i called the attack on venezuela down to the day. i'm a nobody and no longer have any insider information. if i could figure that out and you are a legislator and are more wrong than me (which takes concerted effort i am very, very wrong most of the time), you are either doing your job wrong, willfully ignorant or stupid. they should have had a vote on removing the emergency war powers, well, daily until they actually do it quite frankly

None of this bodes well - people with verifiable psychosiis are running the mechanics of government and the rubes following each order are blissfully ignorant of their contributions to the designs of madmen.

Democrats lie. Everyone in the know, knows US foreign policy is uniparty.

Majority of democrats are paid/controlled opposition, especially including the DNC, Schumer, and Pelosi.
