I guess I’m supposed to give them kudos and ‘atta-boys’ and bravo?

This REPUBLICAN controlled Congress needs to stand up to the tyranny right here at home. This is at best grandstanding.

obama will use the veto pen anyway.

This is just RINO-DEM progressive posturing. These scumbags know full well that obama will veto it, and that their leftist progressive pals won’t pony up enough votes to override the veto.

The RINO progressives will go back and tell their constituents that they “tried”.

And it’ll be drinks all around on the DC cocktail circuit, courtesy of the KSA.

Sadly that’s the charade that keeps playing again and again in D.C. They authorize enough vulnerable Dems to vote for the Republican legislation but ensure that there are not enough votes to override the veto. All arranged at a fabulous taxpayer paid dinner between the House and Senate “leadership”. No wonder the GOP-e is so scared of Trump.

Bammy will take care of his bosom buddies, his true friends, who finance his party and the expansion of the death cult throughout the world.

How many in the GOP Senate are part of the cozy House of Bush House of Saud alliance?
