President Joe Biden tried to send a signal to House Republicans during a White House meeting on Tuesday, warning them he could veto any bill he wanted to.
Biden revealed details of the meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other Congressional leaders during a fundraiser in Boston on Friday. McCarthy may lead the new Congress as speaker after Republicans won the majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
“They were telling me what they could do, what they were going to do. And I said, ‘Yeah,'” Biden recalled, demonstrating that he responded to McCarthy by lifting up his pen and showing it to the room.

He won’t need it the rats stole the Senate. Nothing good that the house passes gets through there. Biden is a petty, small worm of a man.

BFD. If pResident Biden wants to veto, then so be it. Republicans need to send real appropriations bills that includes massive cuts to government and the absence of funding to specific agencies to the White House. Let Biden Veto and shutter government. It would be the best use of his powers because at this point I don’t want any of this government funded until it is cleaned up.
McCarthy does have the desire or will to do that. That is reason number one for McCarthy to never be part of leadership.

The only thing he’s going to be doing with the pen is write letters from prison.
The MSM and democrats have used up all their supply of cover ups.

Here’s a concept: How about returning to “regular order” - bring bills up, allow for amendments, stop conflating disparate goals into one bill making every vote a Hobson’s Choice.

Shut down the government. Send them all packing without back pay.
To: Sirius Lee
Let dopey joe veto the next budget. And then let the government shut down.
Any budget will have to pass the democrat-controlled Senate. Any shutdown of the government will be blamed on the Republicans. First things to be closed will be the National Parks, Monuments, etc., Social Security, SNAP checks/payments, tax refunds will be suspended, etc. etc. Weekends in Delaware will continue however.

Yeah, right. Kevin's more likely to tell his butt buddy Frank Luntz where to stick it.

“Appropriations for spending originate in the House, or at least they use to.”
He needs basically all the (R) votes for “his” bills but they CAN scrounge an extra 68 in the House for a veto if needed.
The senate is up for grabs since the (D)’s hold it. He MAY own the senate, and a pen, but We own the House! ... we hope.

LBJ pulled out his, er, “Johnson”, on the White House Presidential Desk when asked about Vietnam and how he can put troops in country.
Or so the story goes.

McCarthy probably got down on his knees and apologized to FJB for even thinking he would send him something that he didn't like. Sic B@$t@rds all of them.

That pen has red ink in it. The other one is blue.

Yes, but he probably called it his “ear cleaning thingy” and then tried to sniff McCarthy’s hair.

Agree. But they won’t. They’ll go back to “well, no point in wasting time passing bills he will veto. We need the Senate”. They get the Senate and its “we need the Presidency so why bother?” They get the Presidency and one POS Senator caves.
Remember repealing Obamacare?
They are cowards and really liberals.
