Breaking on twitter: Trump threatens VETO of Omnibus Spending Bill
Teitter ^

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump · 3m3 minutes ago  More

am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

It was a Yuge mistake for Chuck Schumer to brag last night that he was getting more done than when the Dems were in the majority. Schumer is stupid and full of hubris.

Was it Napoleon that said "When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interfere." ?

Both Pelosi and Schumer should have kept their mouths shut and not jinx it, but I'm glad they spoke out.

lol....that’s great idea. There should always be time to read a bill, that should be a law!

If you think Trump is a conservative you are sadly mistaken

Thank you for the link.

I sent the message to President Trump to veto the bill and build the wall.

Ditto. First time I’ve ever actually reached out to any of these people to tell them what I think. Not that I expect they’re paying the slightest attention to MY puny message, but maybe if enough people contact them and say VETO THE BILL they’ll see the trend and know, at least, that people are behind that action.

I couldn’t believe it when they were gloating last night. How could they be so dumb? It has got to be hubris although Pelosi’s IQ is Maxine Waters level.

Bush was governing with the support of his own party.

Maybe the Rockefeller wing of the party, but people with common sense knew it was nothing but a Democrat trick to wreck his election chances. I said so the very day he started mumbling about agreeing to a tax increase.

It appeared to me at the time to be the most stupid political blunder of the 20th century, and you had to be a fool not to see what the consequences would be.

That’s actually a good provision. It is intended to prevent the transfer of prisoners from Gitmo to other locations in the U.S. for civilian trials.

What is on me? Your post makes no sense.


Sorry, comparing Bush’s “read my lips” and a POTUS trying to govern without his own party is what makes no sense. Trump is flying solo here. Expecting miracles will only end in tears.

I don’t like this part>
SEC. 512. (a) IN GENERAL.—None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense in this Act may be used to construct, renovate, or expand any facility in the United States, its territories, or possessions to house any individual detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for the purposes of detention or imprisonment in the custody or under the control of the Department of Defense.


If an enemy of our country was allowed to contribute to this they couldn’t have written it better. Then again, the RAT party IS an enemy of our country.

Someone in the entertainment business should never tell an engineer how to operate.

Call the White House ASAP. Phone number: 1-202-456-1111

Tell president Trump that NOW is the time to VETO this massive waste of OUR money. So what IF there is a so-called “government shut-down. The sun will still set in the evening and rise again in the morning.

We do NOT want to saddle OUR Grandkids with even more debt, despite what Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and Paul Ryan want.

Cruzers are like Hillary, they still can’t get over their loss. Although it is true that Hillary had a better chance of winning than Ted.

.. although he may not see it or care.

But your conscience will know, and it'll be more than most will rouse themselves to do.

Hence, our collective devolution . . .

It cost him his second term.

Yes it did. It absolutely did. It took the "Character" issue off the table against the candidate that had an absolutely appalling "character."

George HW Bush could not point out what a liar Bill Clinton was because he would have the entire media chorus reminding voters that he lied about raising taxes.

I think it was the biggest self inflicted political blunder of the 20th century.

Maybe I’ll tweet this to the President although he may not see it or care.

Please do. Someone reads his tweets, and if the point is good enough, I think they will make him aware of it.

I think your "Read my lips" is the sort of point that is good enough to perhaps get his attention.

Checkers and chess my friends. POTUS gets nothing from this deal and the last time I checked, he’s not the type of person who likes to lose in any negotiation, so why would he sign this bill that would efffectively kill his base’s faith in him for nothing in return? I will strongly support Trump until his actions, not his words, breaks my faith in him.

+1.

“The president has used the DACA wedge far too much....”
*****************************************************
Yes, many of the “DACA kids” are gangbangers and/or fly the Mexican flag and demonstrate saying “si se puede” promoting a ”reconquista” ideology. There are many, many things in this monstrous bill that justify vetoing — not Least the restrictions preventing building one foot of the wall.

He’s vetoing it for terrible reasons! No amnesty for illegals!
