It's not going well.

Retaliatory strikes in Syria because ...

a civilian contractor was killed in a rocket attack on US targets earlier this month. A US service member and five other contractors were also injured when the rockets hit sites in Irbil, including a base used by the US-led coalition.

It stinks.

And without congressional approval either. So Dems perfectly willing to run roughshod over the constitution in order to launch airstrikes (which, reports say, killed 0 Iranians and 22 Syrians), but have the utmost respect for some dumb senate conventions when it comes to legislating for people to have a wage they can actually live on. Great people.

What would have happened if the Dems somehow fired the person who made that call and overrode the "dumb conventions"? Would the recovery bill have made it through both houses?

Really struggling to get my head around this idea that it is acceptable for any government to abandon their own laws and guidelines to push something through.
