    Sure, Trump is on the side of the average, everyday Iranian, democrats are on the side of the oppressive government who give rise to and fund terrorism. Obama had his chance at supporting the average Iranian on the street and he did nothing. Trump is supporting people who want to fight oppression and the democrats are against it. It's either that, or the democrats won't support the oppressed Iranian people because it will give Trump a victory and the left will never allow that to happen, and if it does they will turn it into a negative.

    The democrats are showing their true colors.

    Democrats love Iran !

    Obama loved Soleimani!

    He alerted Iran that our Allie Israel was planning on killing him in 2015.

    Obama also made sure that Soleimani was included in the Iran deal so that he could have him removed from the UN Sanctions list in Phase2.

    I am not a fan of the source, but I am also not doubting that Democrats could actually be this screwed up. I would like to hear the Democrats statement on this event.

    While details behind the blockage remain unclear, Democrats were reportedly drafting their own version of the resolution to compete with Mr. McCarthy’s resolution.
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/14/house-democrats-block-mccarthy-measure-supporting-/
    Sounds like people like the color of white..

    They claim to be the party of inclusions, they only place where people "of color" can find a home and equality and respect etc etc etc. Yet in a still crowded field no people "of color" and the few that tried they told to take a hike.

    Jusitn Trudeau yesteday

    "“I think if there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families,” Trudeau told Global News television.

    Does he mean the escalation like the Solemani supported terrorist attacking our embassy and attacking our forces? Or is he trying to blame Trump?

    Trudeau is a total puss.... I have relatives in Canada and they will tell you that.

    The truth is....

    If the Canadians didn’t visit a terrorist nation, there is a good chance they would be home tonight.

    If you don’t want to get bit by an alligator, don’t swim in the Everglades.

    Most of McCarthy's resolution are crap on their face... this might have been done on pure reflex...

    I mean, he wanted to pass a resolution condemning Adam Schiff, for crying out loud...

    Nobody takes him too seriously....

    Anyone that knows anything about Schiff for brains would agree with the resolution.

    Yeah... that's what I figured... I'll wait for the big boy version of this anti-Iran resolution..

    It's also possible McCarthy's resolution contained money for the so-called wall hidden in there...

    Excellent.

    You mean nobody with TDS.

    What the Democrats did would be like killing a resolution condemning South African apartheid. Trump seems to be the only one these days behind the Iranian people.

    Why not just simply pass the measure by minority leader McCarthy? What difference is it going to make, I guess besides calling it a 'Democratic Party' statement. As McCarthy said, it's all about politics(and really, credit.)

    You mean the resolution condemning Schiff for his fantasy version of the transcript? He should have been censored at the very least. So, you can't really point out anything in it to oppose and just off hand dismiss it because the DNC big wigs say so?

    Isn’t Kayne West running for President? Or has he thrown in with Trump?

    If we were transported to 1776, the Dems would argue King George and Parliament didn’t have enough power and their taxes & regulations on America didn’t go far enough.

    Why can’t the Dems stand up and clearly support the people against the regime in Iran? They’re always on the wrong side.

    As was later pointed our, House D's are going to propose a similar resolution at some point. It clearly will be better, so that's why they voted down the R version.

    They have an incumbent no serious candidate is going to be running against him DUH and the Republicans don't make the color of their candidates an issue they look beyond color.

    It's the Democrats who do and had a totally white stage last night and have voted down their candidates of color.

    Oh, for sure.

    Trump is headed to a 50-State Sweep and 95% in DC.

    Trump predicts he can win 95 percent of the black vote

    https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-african-american-vote-227218

    Anyway, everyone (who follows these sort of things) should have EXPECTED the Minority Party to get voted down.

    If the GOP was so worried about this sort of thing happening, then they should've done a better job of retaining the House in 2018.

    EXACTLY.

    The Comical Mock Outrage (in the OP Article) would be the equivalent of the GOP Complaining about the "Dems Blocking a Resolution" making Bat Boy's Birthday a National Holiday.

    Obviously.

    McCarthy is a Complete Joke and this Latest Attempt to feed the RW Mock Outrage Machine is an Epic FAIL.

    ^And, Everybody KNOWS It.:salute:
