They are complicit in his crimes. No dodging this one when the chickens come home to roost.
Oh good, a forever war at the behest of a mentally damaged madman, that our government refuses to do anything about.
Remind me to pick up marshmallows so we can roast them when this whole fucking place is on fire.
Fetterman.
And true to form, Democrats are too spinless to kick him out.
How can they go about kicking him out?
Pretty sure they could just eject him from the party. Wouldn't remove him from the Senate but it would hobble his influence.
The party does this by picking someone else in the primary next election. Yes, they can choose to kick him out of the party, but all that does is remove any shred of influence they have over him. He's doing this now because they already said they're going to primary him in 2028 and he's being a giant shit about it. I bet he'd vote to burn Pennsylvania to the ground if the rest of the party voted against it, just to spite them. He's a gigantic brain damaged fucking toddler.
They need someone to play the heel.
This is dumb. There is no reason to vote on something that is already law. You're just letting them drag everything to the right.
He broke the law. If the law isn't being enforced, then we should begin actions stronger than legislation.
It's very debatable whether he actually broke the law in this instance. Attacking Iran without congressional approval is allowed by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. The argument against that is that the powers outlined in that resolution are meant to be "emergency powers" but "emergency powers" are very easy to invoke and I'm not aware of any precedent of a president not being permitted to invoke them. And the US hasn't formally declared war since WWII, so they're invoked fairly often.
Getting more clearly restrictive laws in place would be a good thing, and getting Republicans on record as opposing them is only mostly useless (look, it's a low bar) because it does at least make it a little harder for them to pass themselves off as "antiwar."

Ok well lets put him on trial and find out, he can be held in a prison cell till the court date is set
That's not how anything works.
Why? Finding out if the actions of any individual are criminal is usually a job for the courts, why not this?
So let me get this straight. You think that if someone, anyone really, thinks that the president might have violated a law, they should be immediately thrown in jail until it's resolved? Even the cleanest person in the world would be spending their entire term in a jail cell.
Pennsylvania - Fetterman's got to be primaried please
DemoRAT
That was close. The buffoon will now think he has limitless powers.
He has seized more power every day and the only people with the balls to try to stop him are either dead or in jail because they tried.
What else do you expect when all Americans can do is a clown-ass “No Kings” parade where they congratulate themselves for being non-threatening every three months?
I expect cunts to victim blame
You aren’t victims, you’re complicit.
And what have you been doing, O great wise one? What's your praxis look like, other than criticizing others and discussing theory?
Your country. Your problem until your inaction makes it ours. Be assured when we will show you what fighting fascists looks like- a promise you will undoubtedly roll your eyes at because projecting insincerity onto those who aren’t massive cowards eases your insecurity.
he stopped genocide joe thus ending the genocide
No Kings could be useful if it was sustained political actions instead of the once every three month protest.
He does.
Wonder what he’ll do next — it’s ain’t over with him. Never is.
