President Trump Issues His First Veto



Politico: Trump issues first veto of his presidency

The resolution against his emergency declaration was a stunning bipartisan rebuke to Trump, but lawmakers currently do not have the votes to overturn his veto.

Donald Trump issued the first veto of his presidency Friday afternoon, rejecting a congressional resolution that would have blocked him from funding his border wall without congressional approval.

“Consistent with the law and the legislative process designed by our founders, today I am vetoing this resolution,“ Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution, and I have the duty to veto it. And I'm very proud to veto it.”

tip: It is not HOW MANY you veto but WHY and WHAT For you veto
the GOP in this instance afraid that a Dem Pres would/could with ease declare anything an emergency and skip congress approval, ie, Gun Control, climate change, etc

Was Carter not president, or was he voted in as a Jimmy.

Sure, if numbers are not on your side (Obama was 12 times the dictator!!) then you go like "oh no, the numbers don't count, don't be fooled, it's not about that, it's about xyz"

and xyz is ever changing. The parrots don't notice it. The hawks do.

Stupid parrots. :P
Go play with your parrot mirror and whatever else you have in your cage

It is why they bash their debate opponents over the head and enact anti-1st Amendment speech codes.

Haters are on the Left.


"A former East Bay college philosophy professor who was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack ..."

Liberal convicted of 4 felonies gets ... probation. Less than 1 year per felony.

The fix is in. The system is corrupt. It is run by hateful liberals.

Did Basler feel entitled to beat up Tai because he was the wrong sort of minority for liberal bean counting?

You know the say. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal"

It is as true today as when George Orwell wrote it in 1948 having observed the depths of the liberal mind.

Got to watch out for those college professors. Parents should outfit their kids with floak vest before they send them off to college.

Would be nice if you guys stayed on subject. I like substantive posts, not back and forth foul insults.

Hint; that's the way to solve problems.

I guess. If calling a 3rd person a tard is on par with the word asshole, then they are both equally foul.

If 2 hitches is hard pressed, xer deals straight from the bottom of the deck, pronto.

Benedict Arnold did tours (hitches) of duty, too.

He was wounded in the leg and won the battle of Saratoga for which his hindmost superior took credit.

Good duty does not mean you stay loyal or smart in the future.

Benedict had excellent, above and beyond, duty for awhile.

Chelsea Clinton is the villian!

Figures!

"And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deeply - 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there,' Dweik continues, jabbing her index finger toward Clinton as other students snap their fingers in apparent approval of her words."

New gun laws in New Zealand are probably a good idea.

Lots of parrots in New Zealand.

I did not make the charge. I am only the messenger. It was an accusation shouted by one liberal mat another liberal.

So do not shoot the messenger. Again new guns laws are probably warranted in New Zealand given the high concentration of parrots there. Parrots get very emotional and they are not very analytical, but they have accountants for the heavy lifting.

The functionally illiterate and the all around innumerate thinks that zer really has something there with the NYT and other 'reports'.

Xer is as phony as the Hollywood libtards that hold fundraisers for Democrat tards so that they can pass affirmative action quotas for colleges and then turn around and circumvent all of it to get their kid in college.

We are talking about mucho, mucho phoniness.

So Mueller's right hand man abandoned ship. Mueller is just a figure head and doesn't take care of day to day running the probe, but it is a nice cushy job and a fat paycheck.

Certain people should get out of their houses/. Maybe travel in country and out of country.

Maybe do some yard work.

Certain people believe whatever the NYT says like AGW at +4 or + 8 degree C.

Freaking snowing and I live mid latitude in the US. March is over 1/2 gone.
