Senate defies White House on Saudi support in Yemen

Can’t Trump just veto it? And anyways, that is ridiculous. That’s exactly how ISIS was formed in the first place. Create a war zone and then leave

Kill thousands of Yemeni civilians, for years on end: ... ... 🦗{chirp} ... ... ... But kill just ONE Saudi Journalist: THIS MUST NOT STAND!

We'll all hope RandPaul succeed in this but what should really troubles every American that believe in the concept of America Values is that we're deciding if we keep supporting a genocide so far from home against people represents no harm whatsoever to us..

Great. Now let’s see someone besides JeffFlake stand up to help ProtectMuellerNOW

Are you sad you fasistic warmongers? US and A direct involvement in genocide would also be a Putin propaganda.

Where were these same Senators in 2016?

Well lil Tijuana shoot out Store worker YEMEN Valentine Store BIASED as I wrote gay man on wells Fargo sandy acct may BE indirect bulldogs crips blacks with MDC finish the campaign no LGBT allowed company without hate crime CA ab 953 so sad wish I were heterosexual like rest

Yank?

We should never have even sold them cluster bombs in 2015, that was the start of this genocide (as well as being illegal) & we’ve been supplying & supporting them with munitions ever since. Congress needs to act on this, maybe the Dems will make this a priority in January?

Thank you, Senators. On so many levels, I am grateful & relieved to see news of today’s successful vote to bar US participation in the Saudi-led war in Yemen. (I hope the next step in the process of withdrawal from that war will be possible.)

THIS is the resistance

Excellant

I wonder who voted no

Wait, did they okay this with AIPAC?

How many repub senators will fold?

Broken clocks and whatnot.

about time

GaltsGirl About fucking time.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER

McConnell will kill it. He’s in Trump’s pocket.

But WHY didn't they do this a long time ago? They waited until Yemen is decimated and now they're putting up a fight? Makes me wonder about their sincerity.

Good. Now vote to bring all the troops home from Afghanistan.

every once in awhile gov't actually does what the taxpayers who pay their salaries want them to do

zachjcarter you need 4 more votes

When are these virtue signalling ,leftist bigots going to personally boycott Saudi petroleum

Stupid ...what they don’t realize if they don’t win over in Yemen our kids will be pouring their blood into the fight so stop playing politics

Lets go sticking our noses somewhere doesnt belong ..didnt we get rid of Gaddafi...didnt Yemen kill our people?

caitoz There has not been a War Powers Act Debate since 1942. There have been Resolutions for the Authorization for the Use of Military Force AUMF for Afghanistan 2001 and 2003 Iraq. Thank you ChrisMurphyCT SenMikeLee SenSanders YemenCantWait

caitoz There is no money in solutions or peace

caitoz Gotta keep the Middle East fighting to get that defense contract money 💰

GaltsGirl Say hello to the resurgence of Al-Quida😎

Some sense of justice seens to be creeping back into sane minds!! Didnt trump say we are in stupid wars?

realDonaldTrump RudyGiuliani Trump, Wikileaks is a journalist&get information&spread around like Hilary used UK dossier to spy on Trump. I am sure Hilary Clinton would have had used Wikileaks emails if they were written against Trump. Is not a big deal.

Sorry Don. You lose.

What is the veto proof ?

This is OBVIOUSLY about money, the inflated arms deal lines backwater Eric Prince’s pockets. Taxpayers should not support inefficient oil wars.

Who the F are the 37 traitors who voted against

SenseOf_OUTRAGE Good. Except this, 'The White House issued a statementwarning that White House advisers would recommend to Trump that he veto the resolution if it passes, stating that it 'would harm bilateral relationships in the region'

finally doing their jobs....well kinda

When Trump did that sword dance with the Saudis I bet he never thought he was going to have to fall on it.

Will giving a no vote to support the Saudis stop the killing of Yemen’s innocent victims? We could leave troops in Yemen to protect areas of non participating civilians.

Wow. So sad

ChiefCovfefe And their balls grew 3x the size that day

It was a vote for debate to happen. Not a vote to stop funding.

Is realDonaldTrump trying to get USA in another Middle East conflict! Thank God for the decent & sensible GOPers and Democrats in the Senate for flexing their power 😌

Hopefully the margin of votes points to a rebuff of the current WH. With Repubs controlling the senate, 63-37 is not good for the 'nay' votes.

Thank heavens.

Sanction Saudi Arabia now, Mr. President.

Anti Semitic leftists, and short sighted republicans.

Senate closer to defying White House on Saudi support in YemenThe Senate edged closer to an unpredictable debate on U.S. support for Saudi-backed forces at war in Yemen after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis failed to sway key undecided votes Pompeo’s shameful WSJ op-ed goaded the Senate to action. What an own-goal. letting Saudi Arabia off the hook is unacceptable behavior by the WH and Secretary of State. They are supporting muirder and genocide by being complicit with the Saudis Pompeo and Mattis are lying. There’s a reason Gina Haspel wasn’t there to address the senate.

Senate Vote Is Rebuke to White House Over Trump’s Handling of Khashoggi KillingThe Senate voted to begin considering a resolution to withdraw U.S. support for Saudi forces in Yemen, defying top administration officials who just hours earlier had come to Capitol Hill to lobby lawmakers to do the opposite. And there is support behind that move. In the late 70’s the Carter administration withdrew support of the Shah of Iran. Looking back 40 years bad strangely. Senate might want to reconsider, just saying Which has previously been disabled. hhhhhhhh

McConnell tells White House little chance of Senate vote on criminal justice billPresident Trump favors the bipartisan legislation, but McConnell has signaled that funding the government, the farm bill and confirming judges are higher priorities.

Senate condemns Saudi crown for Khashoggi killing; votes to end support for Saudi war in YemenSenators have voted to recommend that the U.S. stop supporting the Saudi-led war in Yemen, directly challenging both Saudi Arabia and President Trump in the wake of journalist Jamal Khashoggi's slaying. Good. It’s chilling knowing we have a politician who would like to ban free-speech if it was not for the whole 1st amendment thingy. End war in Yemen but will continue arming them to start war in Iran
