Hours after President Donald Trump blasted Sen. Bill Cassidy for supporting a war powers resolution that narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday, Cassidy helped to deliver Trump a victory by voting with the majority of Republicans late Wednesday to block a separate resolution aimed at reining in the president's war powers in Iran from advancing.

The Senate voted 47-50-1 late Wednesday to block a war powers resolution led by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine from moving forward. The resolution, which aims to limit Trump's ability to wage war in Iran but does not have the force of law, had narrowly advanced in a previous procedural vote.

It was a remarkable departure for Louisiana Republican senator who, just hours previously, was in a shouting match with the president during a lunch between Trump and the GOP conference.

Cassidy said he later received a briefing from Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Iran.

1. Even Republicans who are not running for reelection are spineless.

What a joke (but not funny at all) these people are. Ants crawl back to the queen in their colony. Republicans are just like mindless ants, crawling back to their king.

9. Well

they are spineless snowflakes. Once spineless, always spineless.

2. Of course the GQP did, including Fetterman...................

no doubt on that, a bunch of non caring for the US, it's military nor Constitution, nor consideration of any kind for life. Let the killing continue, and spend US taxpayers' money into the trillions.

11. Gawd Fetterman is a fucking POS and that's being nice.

That SOB can continue to fully SUPPORT TRUMP and vote with Republicans until Jan 2029.

Long freakin time..........

3. There is no longer a democratic government in this country

Freedom has been cancelled.
Entrenched minority rule is turning now into actual fascism right before our eyes.
Midterm elections that once seemed promising are clouded in treachery, even from the Postal Service itself.
There is a Stasi-like fence around the Reflecting Pool.
Citizens protesting ICE are being harassed for their freedom of speech.

So, America, you can stick your 250th celebration where the sun don't shine.

4. Yep, it's difficult to feel patriotic right now.

13. I haven't put my oversized American flag on my 17' flagpole since the day

Trump was inaugurated in 2025. It will set folded up in my garage until that fucking child molester is gone and something resembling democracy returns.

5. Trump gets away.

Until November.

8. Flip

floppers flipping in the middle of the night.

10. Fucking cowards,

instead of supporting the overwhelming majority of Americans, these coward repigs choose to suck Trumpedo's small pickle prick.

12. Well, that means...

We need to shove this one up their asses so far that they can only see their tonsils then shove it back down their throats until they choke on it.

VOTE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM OUT OF OFFICE!!!

14. Giving Trump WAR POWERS equals Democratic Party Control of the US Senate for years!

Most EVERY Republican running in 2026 and 2028 will be DEFEATED!! Congress has the power to declare war, NOT the POTUS!

Same for the most all of the Republicans running in the House as well despite hyper-partisan gerrymandering.

15. This applies to all republicans and fetterman
