Corker fail. We won't even see the kabuki theater performance.

What?? I thought the deal was that there would be an up-down vote.

We know who are his true buddies.

Any Republican Party which could engineer this outcome does not deserve to survive.

Go, Trump!

[headstamp 2]

GOPe never fails to disappoint.

I’m so over these sh**bags.

[cp124]

Trump should say that this deal will be modified or null and void once he is in office. He has a phone and pen too.

[TexasCajun]

The RNC, GOPe & Chamber of Commerce are eager to do business with Iran.

And they wonder what Trump's appeal is.

This is absolutely nutz.

I liken it to Churchill fighting Parliament for avoiding giving subsidies to Hitler to build more Buzz-Bombs to destroy London.

Americans are the dumbest people on the face of the earth, and the rest of the world should put us in the corner until we can think about what we are doing.

I like the filibuster idea. Let it go on for months. Totally interrupt the business of Congress. Win the first Ted Cruz Disruption Award for Harry Reid.

Someone please explain something to me (and I have long considered myself to have a grasp of the Constitution):

How can this Iran “deal” not fall under the auspices of a “treaty” under US Law and the Constitution, thus requiring the ratification of it by the Senate? There is nothing in US Law that I am aware of allowing the President to ink a deal of this nature and have it binding, unilaterally...

OH - wait - this is the Obama Administration - no rule of law, no Constitution need apply...

Our government at its finest, if head muslim doesn't get his own way then he treathens...

Course we know the whole senate and house will bow down and kiss his butt...

I can't wait for Trump to become President and erase the last 8 years of a phony american, kenyan, foreign exchange student, muslim brotherhood president and a slime ball...

[Defiant]

I don't believe that a majority of the congress can take from 1/3 of the Senate their constitutional right to reject a treaty. If this were the case, then a majority could pass constitutional amendments on their own by passing a law, or get around the supermajority requirements in any number of situations.

Cruz or Lee should call for a vote on the TREATY, and ask the chair for a ruling that it has failed when it can't get 34 votes. If McConnell blocks this, then it becomes Cruz's basis for a suit to prevent it being considered legally valid.

I can speak only from my own experience, but that said, I see something profound happening to the American culture. People around me no longer watch or listen to news shows. They have been detaching, slowly but seriously, from what the Obama culture has created in the country. They have largely withdrawn from many or most contacts with the outside world and instead are ever more family or personal group centered. They no longer believe most of what the government is saying. They are ever more cautiously pessimistic about the near future and react by preparing more seriously for a major calamity or other upheaval. A look on Amazon shows an ever growing audience for catastrophe science fiction and prepping for disaster. The contortions of the stock markets this past week prove to them that not only is all not well, but that all is either being manipulated by those who care not for the average person or those who intend to harm them for their own profit.

Even during the Vietnam War, I never observed such a cultural shift.
