Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First off FUCK FETTERMAN
Confused by the wording and headline
Headline says failed but quote in article seems like it went against the war
So wtf is the result?
The normal split in the Senate is 53R / 47D. With Mitch out of order, it's down to 52/47. So three R's voting the for it would have been enough to make the measure pass, if all D's voted as well. But the vote got Fettermaned, and failed 49-50.
How I understand is that the resolution needs to pass to stop hostilities. It actually failed to pass with 49 votes for and 50 against. It would have passed if Fetterman wasn't such a piece of shit.
That dirty traitorous mother fucker. Fuck.
Vance would’ve been the tie breaking vote.
Unless somebody else changed their vote to keep it from passing.
Despite some Republicans ostensibly trying to do the right thing, the effort failed because Fetterman is a piece of shit.
Collins and Murkowski only vote against Trump when they know their vote doesn’t count. It’s all a lie so they can pretend to be moderates.
Bingo. They've been doing it for years, literally.
As are 49 other senators.
50 just because he's dead doesn't mean he isn't a PoS.
