    Does it matter? The last time, one person, Barbara Lee, voted against the Iraq War. Congress has never met a war it didn’t like.

      that was the Afghanistan war vote. the Iraq war was like 300 v. 100 or something like that.

      but yah, agreed. this will never pass Congress. even if it did the Trump admin would ignore it

        I stand corrected. The US has so many wars going all at once it’s hard to keep them all straight.

          no for real. i regularly get tripped up when thinking about the 1970-80s and central/south america. “which country was it there was the school of the america’s death squad again?”
