Tough to digest

While most are digesting Tuesday's election results, I'm gaging on the dreadful, cowardly vote of the 55 of 99 senators that defeated Senate Joint Resolution 54 which would have ended America's criminal support for Saudi Arabia's criminal war against neighboring Yemen. Over 10,000 dead and millions suffering cholera and starvation from US made Saudi bombs and food/medicine blockade enabled by the US. American opposition to this man made humanitarian catastrophe would shut down the Saudi onslaught pronto

Introduced by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah), Senate Joint Resolution 54 was defeated 55-44. Republicans voted 45 to 5 to defeat the measure. Had all Democratic senators voted for peace, S.J. Resolution 54 would have passed 54-45. But Ten of 49 Democrats joined with the 45 Republicans to keep the US war party supplying the Saudis. Only 5 of 49 Republicans voted for peace. We expect the GOP to support perpetual war, but not the Democrats. The 10 Democrat warmongers are Coons (D-DE); Cortez Masto (D-NV); Donnelly (D-IN); Heitkamp (D-ND); Jones (D-AL); Manchin (D-WV); Menendez (D-NJ); Nelson (D-FL); Reed (D-RI); and Whitehouse (D-RI). They and the 45 Republicans voting for war should be required to visit Yemen to see the carnage they enable. I'm sure our government could persuade the Saudis to halt the bombing during their death finding mission. Bringing their own food and water might also be advisable.
