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.).
Fucking lazy assholes. Time for a revolt. Put the people back in power, the way the founders intended.
I’m not so sure the founders intended for everyday folk to have power, regardless of the flowery language in the documents we know them for. Lately I’m questioning everything I was taught (or hoped) this country was. The more I look at our situation now and compare it to history, I feel like we’re on course with the ideals we’ve demonstrated since our inception.
I just feel incredibly disappointed, disgusted… Lots of things.
Fair enough. I don’t own land, so in their era I would not have a vote. I guess that is somewhat similar to an elitist oligarchy.
I am equally disappointed, disgusted, distressed, apathetic.
Stay strong friend. Take care of yourself and who else you can.
“The tree of Liberty must occasionally be watered…”
That tree’s looking pretty dry these days…
You misspelled ‘pruned’
The three most populated cities in America are also in the most anti-gun states in the union. It’s illegal to even possess the kind of firepower that’d be required for something like that. This is by design, of course.
The only places where you can own that kind of hardware are the harmless rural areas, not near any critical infrastructure, but chock full of electoral votes and underfunded school systems.
Inconceivable that someone might do something that’s against the law in a situation like that.
