US House Democrats call for Congress to come back into session for Iran war debate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — House Democrats on Capitol Hill Thursday slammed President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Iran as “beyond the pale” and urged House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to reconvene Congress and rein in the president’s war powers.

The eight Democrats, who represent districts in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington state, made a largely symbolic attempt to bring a War Powers Resolution to the House floor during the morning’s pro forma session — a short, routine meeting that occurs when Congress is out of session. The House is not scheduled to return until April 14.

“The pro forma speaker ignored us, which was a tragedy, but we will keep fighting,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said.

Efforts to limit Trump’s military actions in Iran failed last month in both the House and Senate.

1. In IT, you can end up staying days until what's broken, isn't. I don't get weighty jobs where this isn't the case.

3. What this tells us...

Loud and clear is that the republicans WANT what is happening. They are too afraid of the bully to even save their own asses when drowning.

Pathetic.

At this point we really need to overwhelm them by any means necessary. It really is a matter of life and death for everyone.
