The Senate will vote next week on a bipartisan war powers resolution to block Trump from continuing military against Venezuela — a vote that takes on heightened importance after U.S. forces attacked the South American nation and arrested President Nicolás Maduro early Saturday.
The resolution to block the administration from engaging in further hostilities against Venezuela is privileged, which means Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) cannot stop it from coming to the floor.
The measure is sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Don’t hurry it guys, after all, it’s not as if the child rapist just kidnapped the head of another state, without congress authorisation, making a coup and establishing a new government there…
Please, don’t stress yourselves and take your time, we all know that working on saturdays can be quite a downer!
The republican majority leader, the only who could call in the senate for a vote on this, openly supports trump doing this. They’re not being lazy, the people who care enough to bring this bill are being blocked by the ones who don’t.
Still not a coup. This is straight up kidnapping. A coup by definition is internal.
Maybe next week, waybe next month, depends on the weather and stuff.
OH JUST IN TIME
Is there some rush!? They’ll get to it first thing Thursday, after massages.
“arrested”
Nope, that’s not the word for that. That was kidnapping.
Anyone wanna bet Internet points on how many Democrats will vote FOR war? Taking over under on 25
I’ll wager three cans of beans on the over.
Why wager internet points when you can just wager actual money?
Because I’m not a moron
because the house always wins
I legit forgot Schumer even existed
He probably forgot he existed too.
A symbolic gesture a week late. How about they do their fucking jobs and enact the 25th.
Vance and Trumps cabinets have to submit that. Ball’s not in Congress’ park.
I thought this was a joke headline.
they can’t even call a vote now, they’re busy counting their krugerands. good job senate, you are on the ball as usual.
You know things are bad when Rand Paul is the voice of reason.
At least about those things Trump is doing. But he’s still crazy.
Translation: “We bombed a sovereign country and kidnapped a head of state.
But let’s not talk about that and be happy we might vote in the future to not do more terrorism”Are we still saying “vote to block” and not “vote to allow” for this illegal invasion? I think the trends observed deserve a little rewording so we don’t get our hopes up.
The oh know that scene in the movie clue where the chareter shouts “it’s a bit late for that”
Bit late for that in’nit
Have you tried interpretative dance?
Where are the trump/epstein files?
Sure took their time for this bipartisan agenda to go huh let him take the blame for how blatant it is.
