NEWS: An amendment to require Congressional approval before funds are used for a strike on Iran FAILED in the Senate, 50-40, needing 60 votes to pass.

The vote was held open for 10 hours and 8 minutes to allow dems who participated in the #DemDebate to return to DC to vote.

Why Trump Is So Confused About His Own Iran Policy by Jonathan Chait

”Trump is now publicly describing his own national security adviser as a dangerous warmonger. ‘John Bolton is absolutely a hawk,” he tells NBC. “If it was up to him, he’d take on the whole world at one time, okay?’ “ https://t.co/ApdZiUFKXw

Trump admin. = laughing stock. Just sanctioned a dead Khomeini. Note this is not Trump alone: he's reading from something someone else wrote for him.

It isn’t just Trump who doesn’t appear to know that Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989. Neither Pence nor Mnuchin react. https://t.co/XaSBu16MhT

Stable genius, friend of Kim, interested in nukes, hotels and airplanes, oil tankers-not so much, etc.:

In an interview, Trump called the recent tanker attacks attributed to Iran "very minor," and said that while he would "certainly go [to war] over nuclear weapons," he's less excited about international shipping. https://t.co/7rTeLtp6m0

Disgusting apologists for Iranian aggression. Clearly they are all suicide bombers. Notice the bright orange bomb vest they're wearing. And there are two small nuclear bombs in the back of the boat. Iran had time to develop them because Obama signed the the nuclear deal.
