Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I agree with almost all of this, and it's very well stated.

I will simply add that among the "chickenhawk soulless power barons" who voted to "spill a ton of blood in the Middle East" was Sen. Hillary Clinton.

 

Tony, you didn't tell us you're in Rio this weekend ...

It's been pointed out numerous times. Read her statement when she cast her vote. It was to go to war as a last resort, not as a first resort.

 

As did your's, only a woman.

 

Keeping Hillary out is most definitely for the good of the country. It's funny you have to make up lies to protect the liar. Or maybe that's called irony?

 

The high-level thinkers are out in force today.

 

Which means you're in over your head ... again.

It's true! Hillary Clinton did vote to give President Bush the authority to invade if UN inspectors were not allowed back into the country, and then Bush went ahead and invaded anyway, going back on his word that he was going to give them more time.

Context is important, of course. But just so we're clear, and since a few Trumpkins have now taken us from "Hillary voted for Iraq" to "It's Hillary's fault that Capt. Khan is dead" and "Hillary owns what went wrong in Iraq as much as George Bush" lets just take a quick spin down memory lane public record and see how the Iraq resolution (to give Bush the authority to invade, if he needed it, hoping to put pressure on Hussein to let inspectors back in):

Wow, 23 Senators voted against the Iraq resolution. That must have been a mixture of Democrats and Republicans, right?

Oh wow. You mean 21 of them were Democrats, joined by (I) Jim Jeffords and (R) Lincoln Chaffee (who eventually became a Democrat)?

So out of 49 Republican Senators, 48 voted yes (Hey, what's up Mike Pence!) and one voted no.

And out of 50 Democratic Senators, 29 votes yes (Hey, there's Hillary) and 21 voted no.

Let's check in over in the House.

Six Republicans voted against the Iraq resolution! Six! That seems like a lot. Out of how many, though?

221? Wow. So 215 Republicans voted yes on Iraq. To give a Republican president war powers.

How about the Dems?

Woah. 126 Democrats voted against it. (Hey look, Bernie Sanders!) Ok. How many voted in favor? 82. Huh.

So all told, we have 96 percent of Republicans in the House voting yes (Hey, Paul Ryan!), and 98 percent of Republican Senators voting yes (again, hello Mike Pence!).

And we have 39.7 percent of Dems voting yes in the house, and 58 percent of Dems voting yes in the Senate.

So clearly what we can conclude from this information is:

Hillary Clinton should answer for her disastrous decision to lead us into Iraq.

 

You mad, bro?

 

The problem with Iraq was that Daddy Bush didn't put an end to Saddam Hussein in 1991, when he could have had it done with barely an additional lifting of a finger.
