In a press conference in New York today, Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said Democrats in the upper chamber would force a vote on a war powers resolution to limit the administration’s military campaign in Iran when Congress returns from recess next week.

Earlier, the Senate’s top Democrat called Donald Trump a “military moron” on social media.

Schumer noted that, despite the two-week ceasefire, the cost of the war, and the effect on gas prices, has made the US “worse off today than we were when [Trump] started it”.

“If he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good,” Schumer wrote.

      Mate, Chuck Schumer is a teethless whimp, I’m with you. But isn’t the main complaint about the democrats that they don’t do anything and when they start doing at least something it’s also wrong?

        Chuck will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if this accidentally works. He is 100% Israel first
