61 Senators voted to give Trump power to start new wars without consulting Congress. 13 were Dems.

So they voted on repealing the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Here are the yays and nays, just in case anyone was wondering.

1. WHAT?! Glad to see mine voted NO.

2. The Ayes Now Own This Insanity

6. That's really... unnecessary.

And I say that as someone who got their first ever post hidden, in 16 years, just yesterday, for making snarky remarks at Clinton's expense.

She's not a candidate anymore, not involved really with the party. She's just on a book tour, thrilling her fans and pissing off people like you and me. But rehashing senate voted from retired people from 15 years ago? Can we give it a rest?

Arguing 2016 isn't helpful, granted, but at least it's still relevant.

7. Given the current sensitivities and alert swarming

The OP could get hidden as a veiled reference to Clintons vote. I was of course being sarcastic but I should probably put that tag on there.

Seriously I had a post hidden for calling a Fox News Pundit a Fox News Pundit. It was alerted as a personal attack. I guess that person should seek another line of business.

9. False narrative and a smear of HRC

She was clear that her vote was to authorize force as a point of leverage that would pressure Saddam to comply with UN resolutions and was not an endorsement of war.

But nice job demogagoging the issue.

Gee whiz. It thought I was on a pro-Democratic Party website.

8. Reed ? isn't he some kind of party leader.

Why didn't more follow his lead?
