Schatz seeks to block Trump from attacking Iran
Hon ^ | Jan. 7, 2020 | William Cole

U.S. Sens. Brian Schatz and Tim Kaine have introduced a War Powers Resolution in an attempt to force a debate and vote in Congress to prevent further escalation of hostilities with Iran, Schatz said.

“Congress, not the president, has the constitutional authority to declare war, and I oppose a war with Iran,” Schatz, D-Hawaii, said Monday in a release. “No one mourns the death of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a ruthless terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans.”

But Trump’s decision to have him killed him near Baghdad airport “carries serious strategic consequences for which he was unprepared, including the unraveling of our relationship with Iraq, undermining our ability to prevent ISIS’s return, and putting U.S. diplomats and service members in Iraq and the region in danger,” Schatz said.

The Democrats have wanted World War IV since Hillary lost.

I said it back then.

They’ll destroy Western Civilization to keep the lies going.

Anyone who reacts that way to seeing blindfolded horses is just plain strange.

(You can see what he is mincing about reflected in the glass.

So his parents are from Canada who bopped over to Ann Arbor to squat him out in ‘72.

And then they’re off to sunny Hawaii, happily secured for them by the blood of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

But they didn’t have to give up any of that.

Nope.

This guy’s history reads like a KGB Illegal: parents emigrate to Canada and hop the line soon as they can to have a little anchor baby. Then they submarine him into the US government through the Leftist networks: Punahou school (Barack had just left...), enviro organizations, etc.

He’s about as Hawaiian as gefilte fish.

But is he KGB/FSB?

Could be. Maybe Anna Chapman knows.

“They’d say war is never a solution.”

I always have to laugh at that idiotic philosophy (often conveyed on a “War Is Never The Answer” bumper sticker), thinking to myself “it seemed to be an effective answer to Hitler.”

Schatz...sounds like a cheap beer or a bodily action (plural, in fact).

Who is this backbencher loser, shatz? Where was this nitwit when The Greatest Fraud Ever assassinated US Citizens overseas and bombed more countries than any other president in history? What an absolute embarrassment to humanity.

“Good let put the Unconstitutional War Powers act to a court test finally”

THey will add a provision that they can instantly reinstate it should a (D) president who needs to wag the dog comes to be

Double jeopardy

Trump has been impeached. He can’t be impeached twice
