Trump Vetoes Resolution to End US Involvement in Yemen

[axiomata]

President Trump vetoed a resolution on Tuesday that would have concluded American support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future."
— President Trump

The backdrop: The measure passed the House earlier in April and the Senate in March. Congress does not have the votes to override this decision. This is the second veto of Trump's presidency. Per the Washington Post, April's House vote represented the first time both the House and Senate called for the same resolution to cut off American military presence in a foreign conflict.

Gee, this must really be a surprise to the true believers, if any, who still retain the belief that he is a non-interventionist bent on withdrawing us from conflict.

25 G chess, and for his next inscrutable chess move, he won't pardon Assange.

They will stop avoiding the thread as soon as one of the high priests of Trump interprets the mysteries of their Orange God for them.

Trump - just another pathetic con man.

Tulsi has no problem demanding an end to the illegal, immoral and unconstitutional war in Yemen and everywhere else.

Did you vote for war in Yemen? Syria?

Trillions of dollars pissed away. Trump said he'd end it but surely by now everyone can see he's a filthy 2 bit liar.

Tulsi would have done this.

She votes for all the wars she speaks against.

Trump is such a cuck.

Trump is such a cuck.

I do not understand it . It makes no sense . There is nothing to gain .

[Superfluous Man]

They will call it a head fake. And they will think it's brilliant.

I actually expect her to be much worse .

Undoubtedly.

Hillary would have vetoed the bill twice.

No, she would have started two more wars instead.

Am I supposed to be shocked?

[Brian4Liberty]

So hard to throw away that one ring of power. At the very least, his advisers should have been comforted by Sec. 2.

SEC. 2. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION REGARDING CONTINUED MILITARY OPERATIONS
AND COOPERATION WITH ISRAEL.

Nothing in this joint resolution shall be construed to influence or
disrupt any military operations and cooperation with Israel.

[TheCount]

No, she would have started two more wars instead.

And both of them would have been World War III.

[Swordsmyth]

And both of them would have been World War III.

They very well might have merged and turned into WWIII

[EBounding]

Trump is a fairly conventional Republican president policy wise.

So the bill would have done nothing, except to ally us more closely with Israel?

This was the first time I have ever seen congress able to muster up enough votes to pass a joint resolution to end foreign entanglement.
They have loved every other single one.

It is illusion America is Israel's bitch. Cold hard truth is Israel is a bastion set up by the crusaders, and the crusades never ended. Israel is a tool for "the west" to penetrate deeper into Muslim lands, and hold the holy city. Three blue and white flags, fake states made by "them" after world war 2.

Ahh, how Notre Dame burned, and the outrage and blame to go around! Muslims for sure, especially since all those other church attacks, they agree.

How many priceless mosques were destroyed by American wars in the middle east? Where were the tears and hymns then?

Honk Honk mother $#@!ers!!

Yeah, Trump said from the start he loved Israel, hated Iran, blah blah blah. So that means loves Saudi Arabia by proxy.

What are the Sunnis and Shiites fighting over, really? Power. Power for what? More power. For what? To be the one to take out Israel.
Friendly friendly! All buds now? Divide and conquer? Forgot who they were really fighting?

[UWDude]

Trump is a fairly conventional Republican president policy wise.

His tactics are unconventional, but his policies have been average republican.

Well $#@!, I guess I have to choose about living in a Nation with a million hate speech laws passed by 2024 by some open borders neocon, or just another neocon.

In other words, back to the same ol' same ol'.

Kim Jung Un would be wise to tell Trump to $#@! off, he is keeping the nukes.

[pcosmar]

Yeah,, I saw that.

Not unexpected,, Still arranging the seating for WWIII.

there has to be places for everyone.

Trump Puts Iran in His Crosshairs as Yemen Bleeds

However, extreme GOP wing hardliners like Coulter should not be allowed to use recent "surprises" to support her disrespectful claim that MAGA was "scamming the stupidest people among his supporters".

Trump Puts Iran in His Crosshairs

That would do it...
The end of a superpower and destruction of the US.

I have stated repeatedly the Total Stupidity of attacking Iran.

Trump might be stupid enough to do it.

GD promise you if she became president she'd bomb anyone and everyone they tell her to.

I hate John Bolton. This is a serious setback.

I'm more disappointed in the intimidating guy who forced fearless MAGA to appoint him. Bold leadership was one of his greatest traits and they could not let it stand.
