-——Great! Another toothless vote.——

Actually, no it isn’t....

There has been a lot of pressure for the state dept to declare the slaughter of Christians in the ISIL held territories....as Genocide....

When that happens, if it does, it will give certain entities legal powers to try and stop it or at least help more...mostly NGO funded in part by Congress...

Obama doesn’t want his legacy stained by having a genocide occur on his watch....

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 393 to 0 tonight in favor of a resolution declaring that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is committing “genocide” against Christians, Yezidis and other religious minorities in the Middle East.

Obama's advisers are frantically trying to explain to him that he isn't allowed to veto it. :)

Can you believe these republicrats. ROME IS BURNING and they pass silly resolutions that the sky is blue and they adopt the term “Isil”. That is crap. Pass a resolution that says “ WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION and we support the killing of all ISIS bastards”. They make me sick. That is why we ( I MEAN MILLIONS OF US ) are cramming Trump right down their throats. “open wide”.

What, was mullah Keith Ellison on a haj and unavailable to vote against it?

There are 435 house members so Ellison might have been in the abstaining group, since there was 393 total votes cast. -Tom

This is not “unanimous” because there are as pointed out above 435 congresscritters.

It’s not a silly resolution at all, if you took five minutes to pull your head out of Trumps butt to understand why it is important....

You might learn something....

Thanks for the voter list. I knew two Oregon Reps wouldn’t vote for it.

390 to 0 means that there are a total of 55 Representatives that DID NOT VOTE.

Do we know who they are?

If he had voted against it, it would show his true ignorance. By not voting, it shows him as a coward.

Trump is leading the charge to have Christian refugees come to America? I must have missed that.

Why does the Republicrat House use the Obama term?

Orders from President Jarrett.

If there were 393 votes for and 40 not voting, that adds up to 433. Are there currently 2 vacancies in the House?
