A handful of Democrats joined Republicans to defeat an effort to force President Trump to go to Congress for approval to continue using force against Iran, while two G.O.P. lawmakers backed it.

    Only 98% of the Democratic representatives voted differently than the Republicans! The whole lot are totally indistinguishable!

      Neat, you keep your “98%” I guess, no response to what I said? Can’t find a hero or two out of your whole entire 98% of the voting democrat bloc?

      What’s wrong? Surely you can find some good ones. Just gotta spend a little time, maybe, to find em? What’s the issue? You said 98% were voting different.

      Let’s fucking hear it already - who? Who among your “vote for this” 98%? You can start anywhere. Anywhere. You have 98% to work with. Just go, it should be easy.

      Shouldn’t it?

        On this issue, on this vote, you can take your own pick of any one of the over 200 House Democratic representatives who voted to restrict Trump’s authority. Or not. If you want to choose to ignore the good things they do that’s on you.

      Ah yes, fun cool use of a stat!

      Who among your large 98% is fucking seriously helping? With any of this?

      Shouldn’t there be a fucking FEW people, out of all these goddamn chucklefucks, who at least a BUNCH of folks would be like -

      “Ya know they’re fighting against all odds but they’ve been in the Senate for X years and I guess they finally had enough, can’t believe what I just saw”

      The only ones doing shit like that - AT ALL - are Marjorie Taylor fucking Greene?

      You’ve got 98% to work with. Where’s anything like the effort these historic events merit?
