      Senator Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, says that Republican lawmakers in his chamber have expressed support in voting for a War Powers Resolution following President Donald Trump’s authorization to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.

      Newsweek has reached out to Kaine’s office via email for comment.

      Trump on Saturday evening announced what he described as a „very successful attack“ against three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

      Holy fuck people, how many times does Lucy have to pull the football before you stop trying to kick it?

      No it won’t. Not falling for this again. We’ve seen it again and again. Trump just has to make one phone call and they all fall to their knees. He can do anything he wants, kill Americans,  kill anyone,  and the GOP won’t stop him.

      I’ve learned that what GOP reps and senators say behind closed doors and how they vote are two separate things.

    5. It’s going to be funny when Republicans say this privately, but
      go along with their Dear Leader publicly and vote against the resolution.

      He said he has Republican support…but he’s “not sure how much.”

      So the article is meaningless

      What they don’t have is enough R support to override a Trump veto. Do they think the power drunk mad king is going to sign legislation that places limits on his power?

      They are all a bunch of cowards being held hostage by a fat, ignorant, criminal, grapist bully because not a one actually cares about their constituents or country.

      I will always remember during trumps first impeachment – every single talking head/senators/congressmen said that if is being reported is correct, then trump needs to be impeached.

      I remember one segment of Fox and friends where Brian kellmeade said that there is no way trump did anything remotely close to what is being reported.

      A couple of months later-everyone’s stance is that the president can leverage foreign governments for personal gain.

      A couple of years later, the conversation switched to “an ex vice president is not able to enter into business deals while he can potentially run for president”

      There is no bottom

      i’ll translate, “trump said some of us could vote for it for optics but we can’t make it veto proof”

      Every single congressperson from Montana is on board with Trumps bullshit. 3 of them are veterans. It’s disappointing, to say the lease.

    12. If it ever came to the floor for a vote he’d stand with Trump. He’s just trying to get attention and talking points for use on the campaign trail if he needs them

    13. axebodyspraytester on

      I’ll believe it when I see it. None of them have enough backbone between them to do anything except gargle trumps balls.

      You hear that gang?! Lucy is really going to hold the football this time!

    15. pizzlepullerofkberg on

      no more protests in major cities, the only protests now need to be in washington and palm beach and bedminster. peaceful. no rioting. we need to tell trump and his clowns that they’re alone in this war.

    16. NotAgainWithThat on

      There will be more Dems betraying it than Republicans. Love to see a vote regardless just so certain DINOs are forced to show their hands.

    17. wrestlingchampo on

      Let’s see what their votes are in congress. I don’t give a damn about whatever rhetoric they have to say in front of the press.

    18. Should have happened after the Tonkin Resolution, but better late than never.

    19. At this point, it’s too late. He already stuck Iran, and they’ll retaliate this… justifying our further involvement. Problem reaction solution at play in the wide open

    20. Grand_elf_the_white on

      I’ll believe it when I see it. They will talk a big game but vote whichever way their king tells them to.

    21. continuousBaBa on

      They will fall into line like the good little subservient Nazi party that they are.

    22. Even if they did vote for it, he’d violate it anyway, and they’d throw their hands up and say “well, what are you gonna do?”

    23. IM_OSCAR_dot_com on

      How many different ways are there to say it?

      “Actions speak louder than words.”

      “Talk is cheap.”

      “Words are wind.”

      Stop giving a flying fuck about what they say, only what they do.

    24. Sure it will have support, but just below the threshold of it actually passing so that they can say it was bipartisan

    25. FlanneryODostoevsky on

      I mean. Cool but isn’t it to late? He already brought us into the war.

    26. Trump is playing the bush /Bibi strategy. Start a war to gain access to unchecked power

    27. Joint-Tester on

      Sure… Sure it will…

      I’ll believe action, not rhetoric. I’ve been reading this headline in other words for years now.

    28. cat_dev_null on

      Bit late for that. Iran just struck multiple US Military bases in the middle east. Trump started a war and won’t be held accountable
