Senate Republicans write a letter to Iran

[Landslide Lyndon]

I would love thost to write a letter to Iran.

Should it be in English or Farsi?
Not that there would be any difference if any of us tried to read it.

[Brewer]

In case if anyone is wondering which Republicans DIDN'T sign this:

Lamar Alexander
Dan Coats
Thad Cochran
Susan Collins
Bob Corker
Jeff Flake
Lisa Murkowski

LOL at the Republicans trying to control foreign policy with a letter their Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee won't even sign onto.

[anvi]

Well, it's often important to have goals in life.  Nice to see Congress constantly achieving greater and greater feats of pathos.

[Lief 🗽]

Goddamn. That's really something.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Goddamn. That's really something.

yeah, but is the smartwatch really worth the price?

[pbrower2a]

It's a bad idea to tie the President's hands on foreign policy for a little temporary power.

[Angel of Death]

I'm actually curious to find out what more lines Republicans are going to cross in the remainder of Obama's term.

Not surprised about Murkowski, Collins, or Flake. Corker seems to be more focused on trying to get his bill through, and Alexander seems to be piggy-backing off of that. As for Cochran and Coats, I was pleasantly surprised.

It could always be that some just forgot to sign or weren't able to sign yet. For example, 44 of the 46 Democrats signed a marriage equality letter. While Manchin clearly opposes gay marriage, I have no doubt that Tom Udall supports it.

If only someone had the guts to remind them of the Logan Act.

[BaconBacon96]

The gall that these people have.

These people need to be tried for treason.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Shouldn't the Republican caucus in the Senate at least be infracted for trolling?

It's hilarious that the Iranian foreign minister is better versed in American constitutional law than these flimwads.

Cochran and Coats were surprises for me.

Thad Cochran comes from a more staid, dignified Senate era. And maybe he's trying to throw a bone to his black constituents by not overtly disrespecting POTUS since he would probably be out of a job now if it weren't for them.

Dan Coats, similarly, is something of a throwback politician.

I can't remember the last time Jindal did something that wasn't obvious pandering. He's so pathetic.

A treaty cannot be ratified without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate is the relevant point.

He's the political version of Miley Cyrus, and this is his version of twerking.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

This is absurd clownishness, and I support the Congressional Republicans on Iran fairly strongly.

They should have been whipping up votes for their bills rather than grandstanding.

This was like when Giuliani said Obama didn't love America and (without anyone asking him) Jindal sent out a statement agreeing with Giuliani. He is the right-wing political equivalent of a photobomber.

Worse, he's like a guy photoshopping himself into a picture to make it seem like he's a photobomber.
