"Four Republican Senators broke ranks to support the initiative. GOP Sens. Rand Paul (KY), Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Bill Cassidy (LA) voted for a motion, sponsored by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), to discharge the war powers resolution out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The motion to discharge failed 47-48. Five US Senators inexplicably missed the crucial vote: Sens. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT)."

Below, something you'll never, ever see: Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky, or US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) proudly posing with an ICC-indicted war criminal who is a heartless and vicious ethnic cleanser.

Fetterman's mental/physical health history should cause a responsible person to remove themselves from those situations which feed the beast. Evidently, by this measure Fetterman is not a responsible person.
