Having already derailed one attempt at a War Powers Act challenge to the
Yemen War, the House Republican leadership is trying to do so again
with a motion of recommit, and using the same trick of semantics that
worked the last time.
Progressive groups are warning the House Democrats to watch out for a motion to recommit move on the Yemen vote. Already, one such motion was snuck through including language condemning anti-Semitism.
That may sound familiar, as the first House resolution also had
similarly language tacked on in an amendment. This allowed the Senate to
strip the vote of privilege, arguing it wasn’t a War Powers Act bill,
it was a bill on anti-Semitism.
The motions to recommit already forced the Senate to vote once, and the
House to vote again Another round of motions could start the process all
over again. The goal appears to be to derail the vote and save
President Trump from an embarrassing veto.
I will not be surprised yo learn eventually that a kill the bill will have been ordered by the WH.
What a surprise, not…!!!
More like I’d s**t my f**king pants if the WH DIDN’T order that.
Who are these slimeball criminals pushing a bill to annul the bill to end American support for the Saudi and (?Israeli?) motivared genocide in Yemen. Someone with more time than I have needs to post a list of these lowlife.
Can anyone reading this comment refute that there is genocide going on in Yemen probably driven by evil MbS and others. But who are the leaders of this crime.. MbS.. $$$$….?????
GOP=war party
Both political parties are wings of the same bird of prey.
“War is the health of the State.”
“Country [society] is a concept of peace, tolerance, of living and letting live. But State is essentially a concept of power, of competition; it signifies a group in its aggressive aspects. And we have the misfortune of being born not only into a country but into a State, and as we grow up we learn to mingle the two feelings into a hopeless confusion…”
Randolph Bourne
Albert Nock further refined Bourne’s concept of the State when he explained the nature of State power. State power always detracts from social power as it supplants community’s functions.
Excuses for more war aren’t even threadbare anymore. They are naked.
These people are seriously f**king sick. Anything to keep murdering brown kids like cattle. And these sick bastards have the gall to call themselves “Pro-Life”. Baby killing poseurs.
