It’s 7 fyi.

Anyways, it is as I predicted. The Houthis must lose the port of Hodeidah before congress convinently ends the war and pats themselves on the back.

My understanding was that the GOP tacked Yemen on to a Farm Bill. The vote was mainly over agricultural spending. I hate these games & poison pill bundling no matter which party does it.

"Republican leadership in Congress moved to stall until next year a broadly supported congressional resolution aimed at ending US support for Saudi Arabia's bombing campaign in Yemen.

The move came as part of a tight procedural vote on Wednesday in the US House of Representatives on an $837bn, five-year agriculture bill.

Tucked within the rules governing the bill is a provision that says the War Powers Resolution, which fast tracks certain bills, won't apply to any resolution related to Yemen for the rest of this Congress.

The move will effectively block the House from taking up any bill on Yemen this year

The farm bill wasn’t that great to begin with, it was urgent to pass.

But Congress knew that, Yemen must go on despite all the bluster, that is how our government works.

This means we will be killing babies well into 2019.

Merry Christmas voters! You've done good.

I wonder how our leaders look themselves in the mirror after such a vote and the lets hide it here way it came to the floor of the house? But then again all the bases were covered because Trump said he would veto the bill.

They are soulless sociopaths. I doubt they even have reflections...like vampires.
