President Trump Vetoes Congressional Measure To End U.S. Involvement In The Yemen War



CNBC/Reuters: Trump vetoes congressional resolution to end US involvement in Yemen war

* The resolution passed the House of Representatives in April and the Senate in March, marking the first time both chambers of Congress had supported a War Powers resolution, which limits the president’s ability to send troops into action.
* Neither the 247-175 tally in the Democratic-majority House nor the 54-46 vote in the Republican-led Senate would be enough to override the veto, which would require two-thirds majorities in both chambers.

President Donald Trump has vetoed a congressional resolution that sought to end U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, the White House said on Tuesday.

“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,” Trump said in the veto message.

The resolution passed the House of Representatives in April and the Senate in March, marking the first time both chambers of Congress had supported a War Powers resolution, which limits the president’s ability to send troops into action.

Meaning that is no real political will to allow the Iranian proxy Houthi rebels (Iran) to occupy the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and squat atop the gulf of Aden. (Which is the ingress/egress to the Suez Canal)


SHOW,
VOTE,

The US was pro-Houthi intil they sided with the Iranians.

Should not have crawled in bed with them.

The Salafis are a threat like the Iranians, but the Iranians are straight forward and threaten the US in a way that even a liberal can occassionally understand or admit. Sometimes.

And I do mean sometimes. Lbierals will fulminate against forcible veiling of women and so you would think that they are against the mancinations of Salafis, but they are not in local poltics and see nothing wrong with immigraiton of people with different mores. They are silent as leprous church mice oversalfi msque building by the Saudis whie denouncing the Saudis in a pro forma way.

2 churches are attced every day in France/Germany and these lead weight citizens bound to you see no problem. So how can they see mosque funding by Saudi Arabia as a problem. Jay, a liberal does. but he must have been drooped on his head as a baby to deviate from the dogma.

An idea of how uttlerly sick liberlas are is the Piers Morgan interview of Tommy Robinson.

Tommy was reading actual passages out of the Koran verbatim and Piers went histrionic that Tommy was giving up the game.

Piers got back some upvotes after he was fired and played cricket and showed how physically tought he was. But he is so morally and mentally weak that it ccounts for nothing.

Piers is pretty typical of ahow a liberla reacts to the Koran and Islam. Dupliciouts, afraid, etc.

Well Fred,

Just like you said earlier, if you aren't going to add any constructive value and just name call and attack, then you are just a childish immature person.

Fred loves to attack others and name call, then in the next post talks down to others doing the same from atop his high horse. Fred is such a good boy. Get off your stuffed animal and plant your face in the mud where it belongs. You have no life and are always on here being a useless troll that no one takes seriously. You are an old man on a computer who has no life resume, never really did much with 60+ years and just belch your cunt froth at others. He is such a good boy. God he is such a good fucking boy.

Lbierals will denounce Saudi Arabia, because of their salafi religion and how they treat women.

Liberals will not denounce Saudi financing of salfi prison ministires or funding mosques built for severla thousand people with congregaitons of a few hundred.

Are liberals schizohprenic, stupid, or closet salafis?
