Last night, The US Senate approved a war powers resolution preventing Donald Trump from continuing hostilities against Iran, delivering the president a significant but symbolic rebuke over a conflict that has proven unpopular with the American public.
The resolution passed by a 50-48 vote, with four Republicans – Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Rand Paul of Kentucky – breaking with their party to support its adoption. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, was the sole Democrat to vote against the resolution.
The measure, which passed the House of Representatives earlier this month, would require the president to seek Congress’s authorization to use military force against Iran. It comes after Trump dispatched JD Vance to Switzerland to negotiate a settlement that would resolve the conflict the US began alongside Israel in February.
Without the threat of military action, we are now powerless in convincing Iran's moo-lahs to change their ways. The pussification of America begins anew...

On June 22, 2026, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the federal government cannot prevent SNAP recipients from using their benefits to purchase sugary items like soda and candy.
The judge found that the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) overstepped its authority by approving state waivers to restrict these purchases. The lawsuit was initially brought by residents in five states: Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
The court ruled that the definition of "food" under SNAP is set by Congress, not the executive branch. Therefore, officials cannot unilaterally redefine what counts as food to exclude sugary items.
Think about that for a minute. This highly educated pillar of justice thinks SweetTarts are food, and stops the government from not letting freeloaders free load junk food and crap with your tax doolars - or, more appropriately, your grandkid's tax dollars, 'cause they're the ones who'll eventually have to pay those bills.. And then sit back and ponder why we're trillions and trillions of dollars in debt to God knows who, and then be carefull your brain doesn't explode.

Some Democratic senators, including Tim Kaine, have argued that passage of a war powers resolution is necessary, even after the US reached an agreement with Iran and amid ongoing negotiations with Tehran.
“I think it’s a good time to have the vote to say, ‘Hey, if we’re really in a period of maybe some stability here, let’s not just allow it to start up again without Congress being involved in that decision,” he told reporters last week.

That is not only NOT the republican platform, but it most certainly isn't how they govern once elected. Free enterprise? Try CRONY CAPITALISM, Personal Liberty? Try war on drugs and so much more. Honest elections? The Republicans seem to be the folks holding up the SAVE America Act. I'm not questioning the democrats side of the meme, but if Republicans actually supported all that AND GOVERNED like that, they would always hold power and win elections.
ReplyDeleteA resolution is not binding. It has no standing as law.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteWe don't have regime change because we are loosing the war.
ReplyDeleteThe American regime will change before the Iranian regime changes. 3 years from now Trump will be gone, Democrats have every chance of taking the White House back and the same Iranian regime will still be in place.
Trump, Bibi, Hegseth and Rubio fucked this up from minute one. The senate sucks but they have nothing to do with the situation in Iran
Sorry but the Republican platform is to do WHATEVER THE DNC TELLS THEM TOO.
ReplyDeleteJudge Amy Berman Jackson ...where have we heard that before. Oh yes the crooked activist judge. STILL NOBODY ARRESTED!
ReplyDeleteCharging an electric car while driving with a generator would get you the death penalty without a trial in Commiefornia.
ReplyDeleteA year ago you said you were getting around 14k visits a day. Glad to see you're getting more attention.
ReplyDeleteEthical judiciary???? HA! HA! HA!
ReplyDeleteAnother day and another activist judge rules agains't Trump and a free America. Bastards and bitches need to go to prison for life.
DeleteTim Kaine had no problem with obamas' drone strikes or bidens Ukraine fiasco. You can't hate politicians enough.
ReplyDeleteSorry! It's not "pussification; the actual word I think you're looking for is: "Treason".
ReplyDelete...Babs and me...
ReplyDeleteWe're all waiting in case you decide to give away $100 buck again... :-)
ReplyDeleteI live in New Zealand and I sympathise with your pain at the cost of that rack. We bitch about the cost of meat here and the 6 lamb loin chops wife and I are having for dinner weigh about a pound and a half and cost US$10 or thereabouts. Maybe we are no so badly off after all although our wages suck and taxes are substantial.
