    Yes, it will likely be vetoed, assuming it makes it that far. I still think it’s worth doing though. I’d much prefer we hit over 2/3s to override the orange fuckwit, but it might help sway a few idiots who somehow think it isn’t a war, or that this isn’t entirely maga/Trump’s fault.

    That and forcing an actual vote forces accountability from the reps who publicly vote against it, they have to take a position instead of floating in that “well we don’t wanna make daddy angry…” void of ignoring the problem to avoid angering either side. That might help in the midterms.

    I’m not gonna pretend this is that effective, but it’s better than nothing. The bar is in hell lol.

    Creating distance and the pretense of opposition when no opposition was made throughout the years it was needed. History has the reality recorded and it will be remembered, examined and taught forever.

      However if history is any guide, not necessarily heeded, because we’ve gone through this a few times.

        Yes but the names who were expected to act but did not and later tried to obscure their appeasement will live on in infamy long past our time.

    And the article goes on the say even if it passes Senate as well it’s still unknown if Trump will have to listen or not.

      I’d expect they’ll try to turn this into a “Stab-in-the-back myth” like the Nazi’s with WWI. Trump will say they would have won bigly against Iran but now it’s all the fault of the socialists for betraying Emperor Trump!

    At this point in time, it’s better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.

    I suppose the next step is for Americans to urge the other House to uphold it.
