Trump Vetoes Resolution to End US Involvement in Yemen

[axiomata]

President Trump vetoed a resolution on Tuesday that would have concluded American support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

"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."
— President Trump

The backdrop: The measure passed the House earlier in April and the Senate in March. Congress does not have the votes to override this decision. This is the second veto of Trump's presidency. Per the Washington Post, April's House vote represented the first time both the House and Senate called for the same resolution to cut off American military presence in a foreign conflict.

Gee, this must really be a surprise to the true believers, if any, who still retain the belief that he is a non-interventionist bent on withdrawing us from conflict.

25 G chess, and for his next inscrutable chess move, he won't pardon Assange.

They will stop avoiding the thread as soon as one of the high priests of Trump interprets the mysteries of their Orange God for them.

Trump - just another pathetic con man.

Tulsi has no problem demanding an end to the illegal, immoral and unconstitutional war in Yemen and everywhere else.

Did you vote for war in Yemen? Syria?

Trillions of dollars pissed away. Trump said he'd end it but surely by now everyone can see he's a filthy 2 bit liar.

Tulsi would have done this.

She votes for all the wars she speaks against.

I do not understand it . It makes no sense . There is nothing to gain .

They will call it a head fake. And they will think it's brilliant.

I actually expect her to be much worse .

Undoubtedly.

Hillary would have vetoed the bill twice.

They're good customers

No, she would have started two more wars instead.

Am I supposed to be shocked?

So hard to throw away that one ring of power. At the very least, his advisers should have been comforted by Sec. 2.

SEC. 2. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION REGARDING CONTINUED MILITARY OPERATIONS
AND COOPERATION WITH ISRAEL.

Nothing in this joint resolution shall be construed to influence or
disrupt any military operations and cooperation with Israel.

 

[TheCount]

No, she would have started two more wars instead.

And both of them would have been World War III.

 

[Swordsmyth]

And both of them would have been World War III.

They very well might have merged and turned into WWIII

Trump is a fairly conventional Republican president policy wise.
