Trump Engineers Showdown With Republicans, Threatening Post-Christmas Chaos
Washington headed towards another week (at least) of political wrangling after Donald Trump vetoed the defense policy bill and made a series of demands of lawmakers around the broader government spending package and latest coronavirus relief legislation.
In a legislative maneuver Thursday, House Democrats tried -- and failed -- to authorize the $2,000 payments championed by Trump. Republicans blocked it. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy attempted to force the chamber to dive into the 5,593-
The support from the military officer ranks (college educated) for Republicans/Trump is less than you would think- especially among officers who have entered the military during the last decade.
Look how Trump treated Mattis – although many quietly agreed with Trump on staying out of the Middle East.
Why is no one calling Trump’s move “Defund the Military?”
Every Republican who assists the veto should have to explain why their actions are not defunding defense.
And how did Ben Sasse vote on Trump’s impeachment after T violated his oath of office and sold out America’s national security in order to further his personal power agenda / meglomania. I guess Ben doesn’t consider that “rotten to the core.”
Probably too much to ask Ben to rally his Senate cohorts to override the veto.
I applaud Mr Sasse and any Republicans who chose not to go a bridge too far with this man.
That boat has sailed.
Pocket veto to be used in tRump speeches for 2024 run.
