Senate Republicans rejected the Venezuela War Powers Resolution on Wednesday, which sought to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to make further attacks on the country, with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance.

The resolution was rejected in a 51-50 vote.

Good, war by committee is just dumb.

[HYPOCRACY]

More virtue signaling from the hacks. How about approving some judges and appointments? Worthless trash.

[MinorityRepublican]

Collins, Murkowski, and Paul voted yes.

[Skywise]

I thought it started and passed in the Senate?

[rhinohunter]

Looks like Rand is the new Mitt.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I can live with Paul and Collins. It’s Murkowski I have a problem with. We need 55-comprende?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Got to primary Collins. She looks like a frog.

Got to primary Murkowski. She looks like an insect.

Got to primary Paul. Fluffy looks like a Dippty Do Dip Sh*t.

Good news.

•After pressure from Trump, Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted against the resolution after initially supporting it.

•Trump earlier this week blasted Hawley, Young and Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., for supporting the legislation, saying all five “should never be elected to office again.”

I hate all 3

[ohioman]

I agree with you!!!

[Fledermaus]

Hawley shocked me. Glad he didn’t stay stupid.

[shelterguy]

So these maroons voted for this. Do they think if it passed the Senate and House that President Trump would sign it into law??

[HIDEK6]

How did that asshole Tillis vote?

Paul?

[cowboyusa]

Collins gets a wide berth this year. Let her take any-Trump votes all year.

[PsyCon]

“ It’s Murkowski I have a problem with.”
Yes, more than the other two, I would like to see her out of the senate.

[LastDayz]

Yeah.... good luck with that given the rank choice BS in Alaska.

[JME_FAN]

Of course they did.

[JME_FAN]

I don’t get how a man without a dick can be such an obnoxious prick.
