...what we're looking at here, though, for anyone still interested in political advantage, is a wedge in the republican legislative war front.

That's relevant because Democrats have been offering several resolutions to restrain Trump's use of military force which, so far, haven't gotten the votes of the flunkies who rubberstamped everything Trump asked for.

It's relevant because of the $200 billion funding bill that the WH is asking for to continue or at least cover for the bombs they've already taken out of our arsenal to drop on Iranians.

Who knows if they'll all just genuflect to Trump in the end, but this isn't the first sign that Trump has gone further that many republicans in and out of Congress have said they support.
