In a Friday evening vote, the U.S. Senate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Donald Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes.

Senators voted 47-53, largely along party lines, on a measure offered by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have prohibited Trump from offensive measures while preserving his ability to defend U.S. forces.

Kaine’s resolution drew near-unanimous support from Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

    So what’s the leading theory on this guy? He was always horrible but we didn’t know? His brain turned to mush and Uber conservatism after the accident? Russia or whomever now have shit on him? He just turned super self interested and saw there’s more money in being a Trump lackey?

      Edit: for the life of me, I can’t figure out how I’d relocate the video, so take this with as much salt aa you deem necessary

      I’m sorry I can’t recall but there was a pretty in-depth Youtube video I watched that went into Fetterman’s career. Posited he’s always just wanted the democratic clout but he’s a nepo-baby with conservative leanings deep-down.
