Trump Vetoes Defense Bill, Setting Up Congressional Vote To Potentially Override Him

President Trump has vetoed the annual defense bill, which has won Congressional approval 60 years straight. Now, Congress will move to override that veto.

President Trump has followed through on his threats to veto the annual defense bill, triggering plans for Congress to return from their holiday break to potentially override him for the first time in his four-year administration.
"My Administration has taken strong actions to help keep our Nation safe and support our service members," Trump wrote in a message to the House of Representatives. "I will not approve this bill, which would put the interests of the Washington, D.C. establishment over those of the American people."
Earlier this month, the National Defense Authorization Act won annual congressional approval for its 60th straight year. And the legislation drew overwhelming, bipartisan majorities in both chambers, signaling that Congress likely has the support to override his veto.

Good, now let’s see how tight his alliances are in the Senate & House.

And is anyone even a tiny bit surprised?

Not a bit. They'll override his veto on the defense bill, but I fully expect we'll have another government shutdown on 12/28/20. I wouldn't be shocked if it lasts until after Biden is sworn in as President.

Just another data point in the "Trump hates the military" argument.

But how can a new president be sworn in if the government is shut down? 4D chess.

All he needs is John Roberts and a Bible. There are enough self-proclaimed "Bible-thumper" religious fanatics in Congress that finding the latter on the Hill shouldn't be a problem (most of them would probably turn out to be new, unread, and still in the original wrapping). And, I suspect that the former would willingly crawl on his hands and knees through mud covered broken glass to permanently rid himself (and his court) of the foul presence of the great orange turd.

4D chess? Far to cerebral a thought, as he isn't mentally capable of making that connection. Personally, I think that just being an ill tempered adult child throwing a temper tantrum (i.e. Trump's usual modus operandi) gets you to the same point where we are today.

I would get upset but Republicans had their chance to impeach him. Had they done so perhaps they wouldn't have to go back to DC during the holidays. Who can say but many now dead of covid might still be alive. A fear of the end times and an unconscious longing for it have made it a reality for many as direct or collateral damage. Cult Christian-Political religion related behavior is a real killer. How to kill the innocent and pay no price.

To be fair, he really loves the Confederate army and their slaver generals.

My gut feeling is that the GOP support for this bill will evaporate when it comes up for an override vote. They are spineless and scared of losing the MAGA voters.

He's already stated that he's also going to veto the Covid omnibus bill when it hits his desk.

The MAGAts love the military. Many of them are in it. They want it well funded.

Just flooding the zone with shit, as usual. It draws the gaze, keeps attention on him.

Is he like, some kind of inverted Eye of Sauron?

Militias and military are not the same thing. Our military is for patriots, not constitutional traitors like MAGAts.

Manchild is making a statement that nothing happens without his pissing on it to make it his own with the side benefit of having things getting dragged out and prolonged due to his yae or nay capability, giving him a stage where he is of course, the center of attention right where he wants to be, making bank on his name.

I hope there will be endless civil lawsuits for the PTSD he's caused a bulk of the population. Lots of evidence... Twitter....

That Covid Omnibus POS should be vetoed.

 

[Zorba]

I hope this is the beginning of the end of his strangle grip on the GOP. If he goes after any one them for crossing him on the they just pull the "support the troops" card.

HIs tax deferment should be forgiven in it so people don't have to repay it and have even less money.

Don't see it happening. They haven't had spines up until now, no reason to change now. They are utterly afraid.

Unfortunately, since no one stands up to him, it sends the signal that the transgression is fine, and the actual line is further back, inviting him to test it again.

Why?

Patriotic gangs?

Some of those that work Forces, are the same that burn crosses.

They can't even at this point, as then they start getting the death threats and other shit that they were spurring the shitheads into.

Because it's loaded up with giveaways to the Rich? The GOP wouldn't have agreed to any of it w/o that. You know it's true.
