As Republicans celebrated the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with praise for Donald Trump’s decisive action, Democrats faced their own divisions and a reckoning over how to present a united front.
Most were quick to condemn the US president for sidelining Congress to launch an illegal and unconstitutional war and demanded a swift vote on a war powers resolution that would restrain his military onslaught.
But some in the party also felt obliged to acknowledge the authoritarian Khamenei’s death as a positive development and demonstrate their support for US troops. A small band of centrist Democrats have even threatened to scupper a war powers resolution if it comes to the floor.
“President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region,” tweeted John Fetterman, a Democratic senator for Pennsylvania and staunch supporter of Israel, declaring himself a “hard no” on a war powers vote and posting an image of the ayatollah with the provocative statement: “Let’s see who grieves for that garbage.”
Democratic leaders were outspoken during the massive US military buildup in the Middle East, decrying his unwillingness to engage with Congress and lack of long-term strategy for Iran. They noted that it was Trump, during his first term, who shredded Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
Once the US and Israeli military struck on Saturday, the sharpest voices accused the president of riding roughshod over the constitution. Senator Bernie Sanders denounced the assault as “an illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional war”, while Senator Chris Van Hollen warned it amounted to a “regime-change war” that would leave the US less secure. Senator Tim Kaine, long a thorn in the side of presidents of both parties on war powers, called the strikes “a colossal mistake” and demanded a swift vote...

One rumor floating around - Democratic Festerman wants to be president. They don't like that one either. Another bad day for the commies.
Simple rule of thumb: if a Republican President takes action against a hostile foreign country, it is always illegal and unconstitutional. If a Democratic President does so, it’s always OK.
Yep.
That ain’t a rule of thumb, that’s an iron-clad rule for Democrats.
How many demonRATS in Congress were on the Assahollah’s payroll?
I would expect them to be on China’s payroll, like kHAMENie.
Same effect, I suppose.
Lots of Islam fans in the Democratic Party. Lots of friends of Hamas.
Hah!
What's next?
Mostly peaceful IEDs?
All factions among the Democrats are still eager to win office. They’ll try to cloud all issues.
Thrown into “disarray”????
Being fed into a big ole wood chipper, feet first, would be waaayyyyyyy.better for these traitous commie arseholes. Spit.
Too bad Dims didn’t like Americans as much as they do terrorists.
What the Dems are not understanding is that Iran regards this war as a religious war.
That means the regime will fight down to the last man.
And the Dems are optionalizing this fight?
The Dem Party ignorance is overwhelming.
We ALL must support our military who have to actually destroy this Islamofascist regime completely, down to the very last of them.
They sound like FReepers.
"I came. I saw. I killed him." - HRC
Refer back to their inanimation over the recent SOTU.
Is there any doubt about it, stuck on stupid is the only explanation

Nailed it!

It wasn’t an illegal and unconstitutional war, it was just undocumented. And no war is unconstitutional on stolen land.
Am I doing it right?
