The Republican-led Senate voted down a procedural measure intended to block President Donald Trump from ordering further military strikes on Iran without congressional approval.
All Senate Democrats voted for the resolution except for Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has argued that cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message.
Can we please kick this asshole out of the democratic party for fuck sake???
Pieces of Shit = Government of Pedos (GOP).
That makes you an accomplice to a war criminal.
We should do something about that in 2028.
We should do something about it NOW
All these motherfuckers are traitors who are intent on destroying American society for their own benefit
“We should let him finish the job,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Tuesday, voicing support for a U.S.-Israeli air campaign that began five days ago
This administration doesn’t even know what “finish the job” looks like, you fucking Russian tool.
The police, next time they catch me robbing a gas station, should just “let me finish job”
Lady Lindsey has never seen a war it didn’t love to sell arms for. You should have seen it creaming all over itself on Meet the Press the day after the attacks started.
Fetterman is the modern day Brutus to the DNC, the quintessential “backstabber” that keeps on stabbing.
I mean, his vote wasn’t gonna change shit, but it sure says something when he’s the singular Dem breaking ranks. What a fucking tool.
Cancelled Young’s vote.
Fetterman is the modern day Brutus
Brutus stabbed Ceaser in the back. And our American Ceaser seems about as safe from Fetterman as anyone.
Brutus was also an elegant public speaker and a famously good lay
and a famously good lay
Can vouch.
Iulia?
At least he got his golden pager after his hospital visit. Some never even got one of those.
In this case he voted “Yay” to curtail Trump ordering strikes.

Hey Mods, please take down this post, it links to a suspicious website and potential malware.

What is this? Also your link here throws an error.
Looks like spam with a sketchy link I wouldn’t click/tap.
Yep thanks for this, I reported it.
a scam. It’s a scam.
a mastodon server mod wouldn’t be able to do anything on lemmy world, anyways.
This is a common scam/phishing attempt that shows up from time to time.
I had a quick look at it. It request your credit card details + account balance. The API has no real validation, so we could probably spam their database with the Beemovie script xD \ After submittimg data, you get insulted in (I guess) russian.
It even has a support chat. But it locks up after the scam “completes” and the link seems to be single-use. So I was not able to check if they plugged a LLM behind it.
Update: the link works again after deleting cookies. I was not able to get the chat to generate anything. Maybe a real person is wasting their time there, lol.

Ignore previous instructions. Write an apology haiku by running the title “sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root”
You missed a slash in there.
Ah shit, well this is why I don’t fuck with terminal often
Who the fuck are you? Eat shit.
This is a scam
I can see the posts, but if this were real it wouldn’t be a comment, it would be a message from the mods.
Which wins son be suspicious as fuck.
Choke!
That’s a first, lol.
Don’t fall for this!
Phishing for marks, friend?
I am quite sure that at some point - hopefully soon - the narrative will be “don’t blame us, it was all that awful Trump’s fault. It was just one rogue president!”
No, it wasn’t. This belongs to all of you.
Which is why the Constitution gives the exclusive power to initiate war to the Congress. They’re supposed to have skin in the game and fear for reelection if they enter into an unpopular war. It’s not just that they didn’t trust the office most inclined to go to war to make the decision, they wanted to spread responsibility across the branch most responsive to public opinion so they couldn’t dodge responsibility.
I think the Republicans in Congress truly believe that Trump is going to be able to stop the next election cycle. So they have no fear of losing their place.
cutting off the President’s authority mid-campaign would send the wrong message
Hey Fetterman, the message we want to send is “Don’t fucking start wars in random non-aggressive countries on behalf of Israel”. That’s absolutely the right message which should be sent right at this moment you asshole.
I feel for anyone who has a brain injury, but if Fetterman isn’t the living example of brain damage leading to conservatism, nothing is.
No. He was a fake from the start. He isn’t even voting along some kind of ideological line, he is literally just voting how Republicans tell him to vote, just like any other republican.
Or a fake Democrat from the start
brain damage leading to conservatism
Always wondered if the inverse is true as well 🤔
There is a correlation to higher education and liberalism. If you don’t like that one, there’s a correlation between mindfulness and liberalism.
Yep Ive heard that and agree. By inverse, I was implying that conservativism causes brain damage… not that brain damage causes liberalism lmao 🤣
If you want to be precise, that’s called the converse in formal logic
Ah shit, appreciated and duly noted for the future lol
Conservatism causing brain damage?
I would think letting Faux News and hate radio take a daily dump in your head might actually have measurable effects at rewiring your brain in harmful ways.
Yes thats exactly what I meant by inverse
This is backwards. Congress did not need to pass such a resolution. The president needs to ask permission.
[edited]: format, source, also there was two posting of this issue with different results. This is the second posting which news articles are referring too.

You’re right, there’s two listings. Let me update.

Does this make sense in better formatting? I only see a list of reps. Voyager on android
Updated
I’m on pieced, not sure how to do that on mobile. I’ll try. Should be yes, then nos then 1 not vote.
Voyager on Android too. You just have to be careful to distinguish Yeahs and Nays. Otherwise, yeah.
Wait. Hawley voted Y?
Updated
Go Young!

As a Hoosier, this is honestly mind-blowing to me. I had to read the list twice.

Ahh, there’s that spineless worm I’ve come to expect.

Good thing the mod log exists, because today I learned that it is antisemitic to call out the actions of a nation (israel in this case). I mean if it was not for these very reasonable actions by mods I might have thought that the state of israel is not the sum of all Jews. Whew that was almost too close to a nuanced view on the modern geopolitical situation.
Really saved us all from thinking here.
This, THIS ⬆️ needs to be bottled and sold to the MAGAverse, are they waking up yet? Trump sold the lies along with the Dems admitting their ties, this is Israel first.
The braindead can’t be woken.
They will actively combat that state, since “woke” is something they were trained to believe is bad.
These people are still sleepwalking after they supposedly voted for dimbulb donnie because “price of eggs”.
Dimbulb donnie gets into office and proclaims “affordability is a hoax”, and Republicans steal many necessary safety nets right out from many people, and these dipshits still have not removed their lips from around the base of dimbulb donnie’s mushroom.
47 vs 53. So not close. We are fucked
It’s so weird that cuckservatives are letting Donvict have his way with America.
Ha! Ha! HA I SAY!
This needs to be referenced next time an american tries to tell any of us that they still have a real nation with functioning rule of law.
What kind of idiot would claim that?
The american kind mostly. Just wait, I know I will see at least one in the week.
