It is going to pass for reasons purely having to do with internal Democrat Party politics.
The above EXEMPT fools absolutely KNOW
that Iran murdered Americans, and that Iran
will nuke (if it can) BOTH America and Israel,
and they KNOW that the Agreement is a SECRET joke
that never even finds out what is going on in Iran.
May their names be remembered for the Benedict Arnolds
that they all have decided to become.
No. Its going to pass because the GOP removed
their own testicles and tongues under McConnell
and Boehner.
It was the GOP choice, just like ObamaTRADE.
Thank you Senator Corker for enabling this anti-Western treaty to NOT be treated as a treaty. Time for you to act all innocent as the stage is set for Iran to become a nuclear power and to have vast sums of money to finance terrorism.
When a bad deal comes along, you must whip it....
veto
How do you veto not passing something
what do the rest of the D’s propose to say or do
when O’s Iranian IslamoNazi comrades
nuke us?
as they promise to do on an almost-daily basis
what the HELL is wrong with the other D’s, anyway!?????
where do they plan to live, assuming they survive the attacks?
Communists stick together, to do otherwise is death, if not in the physical sense, certainly in the political sense.
Republicans can’t decide whether they are Communists Light (big government corrupt manipulators) or are they patriots. Mostly, they decide that they are patriots for election and corrupt big government weasels for the rest of the time.
The Democrat-Socialist Party comes first, aided and abetted by the Stupid Party.
How many have even bothered to read it?
This shows most Democrats in Congress support party over our national security. When the Iranian mullahs nuke us, there will be no party or country.
The vote count is to make it veto proof. The Republicans made a deal which requires them to make a veto proof majority to block the deal. Normally a treaty would require the supermajority to ratify the treaty. Basically the GOP leadership negotiated away all their power to stop the deal.
It’s working the way it was intended to by the Uni-party. This way the reps and senators who need to, like Schumer and most of the pubbies, can vote no. The treaty is still guaranteed to pass and Boeing and others can make big sales to Iran courtesy of the Ex-Im bank. Welcome to post-constitutional corporatist America.
If Obama insists that Iran will have nukes within 6 months without his deal, then he obligated to tell us exactly which elements of his plan will stop them!
The way I understand it:First the Congress would have to pass a measure condemning the deal, which Republican majorities in both the House and Senate will certainly do. Then President Obama would have to veto the measure, which he will certainly do. Then the Congress would have to override the veto, which requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers — and this is what the Democrats, even in their diminished numbers, should still be able to block with some votes to spare.
The Obama/Democrat deal will be solely their responsibility. Unfortunately Obama will be long gone and enjoying his incredibly prosperous retirement when everything hits the fan.
As I see it,it is going to happen and it will be on Obama/Democrats:
First the Congress would have to pass a measure condemning the deal, which Republican majorities in both the House and Senate will certainly do. Then President Obama would have to veto the measure, which he will certainly do. Then the Congress would have to override the veto, which requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers — and this is what the Democrats, even in their diminished numbers, should still be able to block with some votes to spare.
I really do not get it. The GOPE are nuts
Boeing is on corporate welfare. Democrats love welfare in all its forms!
You understand!
Now you know why I support Trump, Cruz and Carson. Why I am a proud Trumpiteer! Why Trump’s past or his brash & bold manner does not disturb me!
I want America to be Great Again. Trump has the metal to do this.
