Does Vlad have veto power?

This is certainly going to make Vlad the Inserter and Turmeric the Terrible very unhappy. Sad.

What will you bet Trump vetos the bill and all the GOP support for the bill evaporates?

Dear Donald. This is the definition of bipartisan. Not how you used the word to defend your Comey firing which you claimed was ‘bipartisan’ because democrats were also mad at him.

Wonder what the house will do, and whether Trump will be able to restrain his impulses to lash out.

Comrade Trump: 97-2 in the Senate is a far greater margin than necessary to override a veto by Putin.

Yes. His name is Donald J. Trump. He’s expensive, but comes in handy in times like this.

As I understand it, the Senate vote is just procedural as its an attachment to the overall Iran sanctions bill, which by all measures should pass as well with bipartisan support. Let’s see if RAyn can get it passed in the House where it has yet to be voted on…This is progress though because if it passes, it will take away the one thing trump has valued over all else since becoming our so-called President…paving a way for Russia to have sanctions lifted by the US as some kind of secretive grand bargain we all have yet to fully understand.
