Topic	House blocks vote on ending US support for war in Yemen
Bio1590 12/12/18 8:06:20 PM #20:	Tyranthraxus posted... VectorChaos posted... Tyranthraxus posted... It looks like it was blocked for being a rider and not on its own merits. So what? Why would any decent human being want us to keep propping up Saudi Arabia's war efforts in which they routinely commit atrocities and target Yemeni civilians, unless they're just one of our numerous out-for-self, bag-of-dicks career politicians who based their decision on "I'm not getting that sweet delicious Saudi money next re-election if I help pass this" ? I shouldn't have to pass a pukestain bill just because it'll pull us out of Yemen. I don't know what the context is regarding the rest of the bill but I can't fault anyone for voting against it with what I do know. Okay so basically, the rider on this Farm bill was that the House can't vote on a bill related to US support for the war in Yemen. So there's not going to be a vote to either reaffirm support or to cease support. Of course it has nothing to do with the Farm bill. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:914026243] in House bloc...
