Trump should tell them to pound sand.

That and the VETO pen.

America is about to learn about that little used Executive power...

He won’t need to veto anything. The Republicans control the Senate by a comfortable majority now.

If the House votes to Impeach, the Senate will vote to Acquit.

It sucks that we won’t be able to push legislation through in the next two years. The upside is we can still push through appointments and treaties AND now President Trump can campaign against the House making it more likely he will be reelected in 2020.

If it was ok for Obama to use it, it’s ok for Trump. Right, Democrats?

The veto pen will generally not be necessary. It will only be needed if the now more conservative Senate goes along with Pelosi and Company and puts a bill on his desk. That is not very likely. We are in for a period of gridlock, which I really don’t mind all that much. It will show the nation going into the 2020 elections that the Democrats don’t actually stand for anything, only hating Trump. The RINO-controlled House wasn’t giving him very much anyway, so not very much will change except the fact that now the Democrats will have to shoulder some of the burden for not getting anything done.

Trump will be able to do a lot with regard to the courts, more than before because Collins and Murkowski are now irrelevant.

As I said in another thread, Trump should announce that he’s going to be just as open to RAT legislation as the RATS were to the Kavanaugh nomination - and then rubber-stamp veto EVERYTHING they put in front of him. Literally.
