Senate Democrats on Thursday used a procedural device to block a vote on a resolution disapproving the Iran nuclear agreement, saving President Obama the discomfiture of having to veto a measure of opposition to a signature foreign policy initiative.
“Yes!,” came an exclamation as the number of votes to prevent the disapproval motion from moving forward reached the target of 41 required by Iran deal supporters. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) punched the air with both fists in evident delight at the outcome.
The final vote was 58-42, with Republicans—joined by Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Ben Cardin of Maryland—falling two votes short of the 60 needed to move forward with the resolution disapproving Obama’s nuclear deal.
The president welcomed the vote, calling it “historic” and “a victory for diplomacy.” …

Yes; the IAPAC payoffs are just scratching the surface.
[”Only Divine intervention will save America”]
I’m not sure we deserve to be saved.
We have allowed a truly evil man to occupy our WH.
We have allowed the murder of unborn children.
Not fully knowing was not an excuse for the Germans and is not an excuse for us.
Maybe we deserve what we appear to be getting.
Why didn’t McConnell simply suspend the filibuster rules for this vote?
I made this comment on an earlier thread regarding this issue, but it’s applicable to this post, so here it is;
Everyone is trying to figure out why our so called leaders are so hell bent on approving this deal.
Everyone is trying to figure out what “they” have that can be used against them or how much in bribes they’re in for.
Why isn’t anyone considering the possibility that the Iranians already have one or more bombs, the means of delivery and a credible, unpreventable threat to use them against the US or Israel if we don’t remove the sanctions and return their frozen assets?
We’ve been hearing for 15 years that they were “on the threshold” of obtaining a nuke, so why isn’t anyone wondering if maybe they already have? It’s no secret that the scenario of a ship launched nuke off the coast is plausible and could be easily done. Even if the means of delivery isn’t on a missile, does anyone here think they couldn’t have found a way to smuggle one into the country?
I really can’t think of any other logical reason why our government would allow themselves to be bullied this way unless it’s because they figure it’s easier than a preemptive strike with the aim of regime change in Iran. It also lets them continue kicking the can down the road for “the next guy” to deal with, just like GWB did handing it off to 0b0la.
If you think the Assaholah Khameini and his mullahs are afraid of being attacked and annihilated, think again. They’re the ones that are convinced that only through Armageddon can their twelfth imam return, and I’m quite certain the regime leaders over there have very safe and secure bomb shelters to hide in.
Why didn’t he shut down the government?
Well, I have to admit Mitch McConnell is the best majority leader the Democrats have had since Harry Reid.
Stupid, stupid GOPreeks——you gave the DemRats a yard and said only take 2 feet— Morons for trusting the Dirty Dems or your in on the shadow dance. Reap the whirlwind the whole damn lot of you— save for a few.
And a defeat for western civilization.

I pray Psalm 91 over my family. It is a prayer of protection for such a time as this.
God will keep those who rest in the shelter of the Almighty.

We’ve seen the laundry list of Iran’s gains.(aside from the side deals)
After all that time at the negotiating table, what did we insist we not give them?
Season tickets to The Met?
If Khomeini were still alive, he would probably say “There is no opera in Islam” along with his diatribe against “fun”, “joy” and “jokes” in the religion of peace.
Did they actually get up and do the talking or did they only have to threaten a filibuster and McTurtle caved?
