The Senate blocked an effort Friday to prevent President Trump from taking future military action against Iran without authorization from Congress, less than a week after he directed strikes aimed at the country’s nuclear capabilities.
Senators voted 47-53 largely along party lines against the war powers resolution.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the lone GOP lawmaker to vote with Democrats. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), an ardent backer of Israel, voted with Republicans.

IS RAND GOING THRU MENOPAUSE???
Ego is a toxin in politics.
I always respected Rand Paul until the last year. He’s a do nothing against democrats, lunatic and the new John McCain.
Good for Fetterman.
[Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the lone GOP lawmaker to vote with Democrats.]
Gee. What a surprise.
So, Rand supporters... why do you like someone who wants to protect Iran?
Little Randy blind as the proverbial bat... stuck on stupid ... running for president...
Rand Paul fundraises off failure. It is in his financial interest for the Republicans to not be in power, so that he can raise money off idiots.
Rand has gone way out of his lane for what!?
Fetterman backs Trump!
The world of these congress clowns play games for their own selfish purposes!
I’ve no idea what’s up Rand’s craw!
He always stirs up when we get so close to a Win!
Lil ankle biter!
No fan of Rand!
Thanks for the post!
The last time War Powers were invoked was for WWII.
“””I always respected Rand Paul until the last year. He’s a do nothing against democrats, lunatic and the new John McCain.”””
Little Rand is a ......MAVERICK!!!! which is French for LOSER.
Ditto!
the Dude needs to borrow some _ as he has none!
What is it the Rand Paul actually DOES vs. just talking? What major achievements does this clown have under his belt for all the time he’s been in the Senate. He’s just like a beautiful women gettng by through life based on her looks that offers NOTHING to the man. Rand is basically the same. He is a neutered beta male. Absolutely vanilla in all things legislative. All he does is suck air and gets paid for it.
It's not what the currency is made of that counts.
It's whether the currency is based on a promise of future labor (debt), or completed labor (non-debt).
The banksters don't want currency based off completed labor since they can't steal from the slaves.
The Bank of Holland, then the Bank of England, etc. took us down the road.
Prior to the BOE the British used Tally Sticks for currency for over 400 years. That's where we get our "stock" term as in "stock market". The stock was the handle of a tally stick.
No he is like his father. I have never been a fan of either of the Paul’s.
“”rand paul may as well switch parties, considering how much he’s been opposed to Trump and his agenda””
Might as well make it official, right? He has soundly self-identified as an ally of our enemy, the radical leftist Democrats... and as such, an enemy of MAGA.
Sadly, the same thing happened to Barry Goldwater when he fell under the influence, at old age, of a leftist woman...
