War against #Assad regime without congressional approval is illegal. AUMF from last decade does not apply.

Particularly because the last time they were asked (ahem, by Obama), they said NO!

I think GOP should have a hard long think whether they want to end filibusters.

Lweji At some point, it will bite them in the ass. They're too short sighted to see it - either that or they figure with all the voter registration changes they are making, they won't ever be out of power.

45's reaction to images of children getting gassed to death wasn't to start accepting refugees. Rather it was ponder blowing more shit up.

Republicans wouldn't even hold hearing for Merrick Garland but went nuclear to confirm Gorsuch. Stunningly hypocritical & anti-democratic

God I hate Mitch McConnell, the fucking hypocrite.

Natsku · 06/04/2017 17:44

Bloody hell, so they really went for it? I was holding out hope that enough Repubs would be go against the nuclear option. Well that's shit.

Has anyone else noticed that Extreme Right politicians are often really ugly? Its like the hatred they have inside themselves shows in their faces, like Bannon. I've noticed it with many of the Finns Party politicians over here too (our Far Right group). Roald Dahl really got it right that bit in The Twits about ugly thoughts making you ugly.

I seem to remember and article from the last thread (?) about why the Dems know that the GOP will go nuclear and they don't care. It said that the fillibuster has mainly been used by GOP in the past and that a lot of Dems don't think it should be a rule anyway. Also, by backing them into a corner so they go nuclear so quickly they end up looking pretty bad and leave themselves nowhere to escalate to in future. It is a thought out strategy from the Dems i think.

Gorsuch vote is no surprise to any one, including the Dems.

This is going to change a lot of things in this country. A lack of protection for minorities, women, and non-citizens will be the first thing we notice. Then consumer protection (including banking), health insurance, and finally civil rights for the 'rank and file' of US citizens.

Trump considering options for Syria retaliation, source says
edition.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politics/donald-trump-syria-options/index.html

President Donald Trump has told some members of Congress that he is considering military action in Syria in retaliation for this week's chemical attack, and recognizes the seriousness of the situation, a source familiar with the calls tells CNN.

The source said the President had not firmly decided to go ahead with it but said he was discussing possible actions with Defense

So.... Session recused, Nunes gone...How long to we give Conaway? Shall we start taking bets? Grin

thanks for ongoing thread.

I did get confused at one point and thought Ivanka was designing the look and feel of the wall.

or maybe that was true.

"Retaliation" for the chemical attack? Odd choice of words.
