Such BS. Trump knows better than anyone how much we (Trump and the Kush) need Saudi Arabia ('s money).

Good on the Senate, but given the vote is symbolic, it won't stop the ongoing bloodshed created by states waging war for greater control of oil and gas and their shipments.
Most of these Senators know that if they actually took a meaningful stance to stop the carnage in Yemen they'd risk losing campaign contributions from the oil and gas industries and from the big war industries.
The people of Yemen, Syria, Libya and elsewhere will be forced to continue to suffer because of the resources in their lands, and the world's powers fighting to gain greater control of them.

Paul Ryan inserted a clause in the Farm Bill that would prevent Congress from interfering in the Yemen war that is starving tens of thousands of Yemeni children. Is starving children part of the American Catholic Church's policy now? Do American catholic church leaders care about anything about other than their liability due to their crimes against children? I haven't heard anything about their concern. Can Paul Ryan be a good Christian and try to implement policies that starve children? Strange that he would get up off his butt to insert this clause in the bill while ignoring practically everything else. Shame!
Trump and company are complicit in this atrocity. I hope one day he is made to sit down and watch the horrific scenes of children dying. Also, at the same time listen to the murder of Khashoggi, which he had refused to do previously.

It's articles like this that cause Trumpers heads to explode - their black and white world can't take the fact that Republicans would ever do anything to oppose their Dear Leader...
Except the world is not all black and white - and when presented with Mueller's evidence Republican Senators will vote to impeach Trump....just like the other day when Kavanaugh sided with the Liberal Justices on a case...
Their simplistic black and white world is crashing down on them...
Goodlucktoyou
What does “largely symbolic” mean in the worlds number one democracy?

You have these fantasy ideas...lol
Look, no one has exploding heads, Congress can do what it wants as well as the President and I’m all for bipartisan support in holding the Saudis accountable as well as the President holding up the relationship as any other President would do.
If he’s wrong, we would.
What evidence?
No they won’t and even if they did, they wouldn’t remove him, they might even go so far as to not hold hearings if the evidence is anything short of night crimes and misdemeanors and to even bring a porn star or Playboy playmate into the mix won’t change it.
You guys keep saying that, trust me, it means nothing, he just kicked it back to the original lower court rulings, now when it gets to the cases that matter on a national level and he rules on something the liberals like then we can ohhh and ahh, but until then, it doesn’t matter, I don’t know a single conservative that cares or even talking about this small case. It’s as insignificant as the movie “Ishtar.”

Completely. We don't hesitate to call out Trump. Just check our posting histories and you'll see it's never happened.
Exactly. If Mueller had anything, we'd have heard about it by now. Libs just don't understand that unbiased, professional investigations adhere to arbitrary timelines and the investigators release evidence in real time. LOL! Smh,

Trump was in the room directing the catch and kill story with Cohen and Pecker - kaboom!
Nope, not allowed, no one in the cult can criticize the Fuc&^% Idiot, er..., I mean Dear Leader...
Kavanaugh - voted with Liberals - LMFAO!
