That pic makes Mitch look like he is having a “hemorrhoidal episode.” He doesn’t photograph well…
Any chance that on the bill sent over for Signature or veto can have a big middle finger emblazoned on it?
Has anyone asked McConnell if he thinks there’s an actual emergency?
You’ve seen the poll numbers for Trump. There’s a clear emergency.
It was taken not long after we shoved the entire ACA bill down his throat — poor guy …
Cant wait you see Trump’s tweets the day this bill gets you his desk.
This would still be really good since this is perfect for trump’s first veto.
And it’s rock solid evidence for the inevitable SCOTUS case. Appropriations Clause of the US Constitution sez Congress gets to allocate money. Congress specifically voted not to allocate money for a wall. trump claims emergency to allocate money for wall anyway. Congress immediately responds, “Did we stutter?” and by bipartisan vote re-affirms its decision not to allocate money for wall. The will of Congress couldn’t possibly be more clear at that point.
Ah, but you forgot the caveat that that stuff only applies when a Democrat is in the White House.
We should not blame the Photograph. It could be that he just dosen’t look good. The photo is good the subject is bad.
So, does actually acknowledging that it is going to pass … and not not supporting it - but not having raised much of a effort to really stop it - does that send a signal to other GOP Senators that it will be OK to get on board ? maybe even get things up to a point where concerns about a veto over ride might emerge?
Will be interesting to see the SC tie itself in knots over this…
Clearly this will be up to Robert’s. The other 4 “conservatives” will have no problem saying Republican presidents have free reign.
Yeah he’s cut his caucus loose to vote however they feel they need to vote. So yes, it’s a signal to them all.
via what medium will Trump lash out with nasty slashes at each gop house and senator who voted for this - because this won’t just get his twitter treatment - he always finds a way to directly insult/dominate those who go against him:
At a televised WH meeting?
On a Fox news special interview?
Mocking at a rally or CPAC- type meeting?
All of the above.
And so the unraveling begins …
Rats / Ship / Disembarking for a loooonnnnnggggg shore excursion.
We can only hope.
The veto override and the requisite # of votes for conviction at an impeachment trial are the same… this is what the administration is watching here…
Mega-MAGA Rally?
This could get interesting. He doesn’t ever do anything confrontational himself, with the exception of EO’s. He probably will veto it, but if his polls look bad enough, he may try to pretend that he can’t. It’s bad enough that the Senate has spurned his wishes.
