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

Posted on 03/23/2018 5:56:30 AM PDT by UKrepublican

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.

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

Agreed. Leaving DACA to die is the only decent aspect of this shitepile of a bill, along with military salaries.

The President would have to be planning to use the ensuing chaos to cut the many other destructive provisions.

Let us pray.

All true, but what the heck was Chuck thinking?

I don't know, but he usually doesn't strike me as being that stupid. I guess his emotions got the better of him.

“Email whitehouse.org.”

Maybe you meant to say whitehouse.gov?

I just visited whitehouse.org. No one should go there.

I don’t like this part

It's filled with appropriations the Dims wanted (Schmucky's tunnel from NY to NJ, planned parenthood, subsidies for Obamacare) and restrictions on what Trump can do at the border. Trump will damage himself with many in his base if he signs it, then people will learn for days and weeks afterwards what's in it.

Go to the tweet and give it a like.
He needs to know he has massive support for a veto.

Clearly the veto threat has nothing to do with DACA.

Some kind of "DACA reform" was supposed to be subject to a vote on a stand-alone bill, wasn't it?

Do not use Whitehouse.org...it is a parody site. Use the .gov site.

Probably so, just like when he foolishly gambled and lost with the first shutdown.

You’ve already written drivel that you think passes for profundity. You may be good at what you do but you cannot write clearly.

I’m for a veto. Make congress override it if they can.

Claiming the veto is about DACA is a head fake. There are many reasons to veto this and DACA is not very high on the list but it will work best against the Democrats and media, but I repeat myself.

If you followed the string of posts it would become clear to you.

I actually did do that. I usually read every post in a thread, and I didn't see anyone mentioning Ted Cruz until you decided to do it.

But just for kicks, I went back and followed all the posts in your response chain, and it verified nobody mentioned Ted Cruz until you decided to bring him up.

That, my FRiend, is your job, because I am not going to repeat it for you. m’kay?

It's not my "job", it is my pastime, and I did it with the usual good efficiency I always manage, and it did not reveal what you seem to claim that it would.

I think there must be some sort of Ted Cruz on the brain thing going on here.

It’s shaping up to be the gov shut down will be in part b/c the dems did nothing about DACA.

So he wants to go to the base and say, "I vetoed the bill that funded the military and shut down the government over DACA?" Really?

I would not doubt President Trump glances at FR now and then to get a reading on what real people think.

Wow! You have quite a memory of those events and a grasp of the details. Unfortunately, it brings back a lot of horrible memories when we look back on the Bushes.

I believe it might be a “read my lips” moment if he signed it. I really do

I agree, he will lose many hardcore supporters and take the wind out of the MAGA movement, and gain what the affection of the media - I just don't see any upside for him to sign cromnibus II
