And the article goes on the say even if it passes Senate as well it’s still unknown if Trump will have to listen or not.

My guess is Trump will engineer a factoid or incident to use as justification to continue

yep sounds about right. who could they get to execute some sort of false flag attack, I wonder.

They’re already claiming it was self-defense, that the main operation was already over when they were attacked, so now they’re allowed to fight back.

That sounds like US is a monarchy then.

Maybe oligarchy

‘rebuke’ - It’s just giving him an easy-out.

I’d expect they’ll try to turn this into a “Stab-in-the-back myth” like the Nazi’s with WWI. Trump will say they would have won bigly against Iran but now it’s all the fault of the socialists for betraying Emperor Trump!

Congress still thinks they matter? Dang that’s some high level copium.

FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world on 04 Jun 11:43 collapse

They know they don’t matter, that’s why they got approval to do this little stunt

Creating distance and the pretense of opposition when no opposition was made throughout the years it was needed. History has the reality recorded and it will be remembered, examined and taught forever.

Yes, it will likely be vetoed, assuming it makes it that far. I still think it’s worth doing though. I’d much prefer we hit over 2/3s to override the orange fuckwit, but it might help sway a few idiots who somehow think it isn’t a war, or that this isn’t entirely maga/Trump’s fault.

That and forcing an actual vote forces accountability from the reps who publicly vote against it, they have to take a position instead of floating in that “well we don’t wanna make daddy angry…” void of ignoring the problem to avoid angering either side. That might help in the midterms.

I’m not gonna pretend this is that effective, but it’s better than nothing. The bar is in hell lol.
