Pelosi and Schumer declared victory on Friday following President Trump’s fake veto, i.e. after The Donald signed a monster spending bill which blows the budget into oblivion. However, Trump promised this will never happen again after signing the 1.3 trillion dollars omnibus spending bill that was passed by the Republican dominated Congress. The omnibus bill does not address the border wall nor immigration issues. Trump complained that the Congress “created a series of documents that nobody was able to read”, hinting at the 2000+ pages of documents passed by the legislature, with lawmakers having less than 36 hours to read it. Needless to say, Democrats were celebrating on Friday at the news that Trump will sign the omnibus bill, as the POTUS initially announced he may veto the spending bill, yet he changed his mind and signed it after all, despite “being unhappy about it”, to quote the President’s own words.

What do you mean it would pass anyway because of the vote totals? The vote in the house was not really even close to being a veto-proof majority.
Cruz isn’t eligible.
$1.3 trillion every way, too much, Obamabus.
A veto, a veto, a veto.
You can't have it!
He already sold you down the river with the tax bill saying the wealthy would pay more when it ended up they enjoyed the largest of the spoils. Now this. Be leery of things up someone’s sleeve.
Why does this mean a lost house. To me, the house was lost long ago. See Pennsylvania 18.
Trump just Joined the swamp.
***********
A servere disappointment and let down.
The U.S. national debt now exceeds $21 TRILLION. Our government is spending us into obolivion. This will not end well.
Cruz is a canadian piece of living sh!t. A lowlife scumbag career politician. F-him and his fellow liars and thieves in the GOP.
What makes you think a veto would have been overridden?
If the Devil is in the fine print
Then every omnibus bill is just a chapter in Satan’s bible.
“and Eddie Munster”
LOL! Now that you mention it...
Congress ganged up on Trump ,it’s not his fault , I bet they had a long meeting and decided to do this to destroy him and you fools are buying it hook line and sinker
“Why does this mean a lost house. To me, the house was lost long ago. See Pennsylvania 18.”
I held out hope. Maybe people would come out for the real election, whatever. This move does nothing but depress conservatives at a time when the looney left is fired up.
Not good.
The house would also need a 2/3 majority to over-ride a veto.
Because they had the numbers in both the house and senate. That’s normally how vetoes are overridden
...and right there is where this filth would have died!
No, they did not. They had less than 59% in the house.
Trump just dodged being JFK’d .... IMO
90 repubs voted against it...If it came around again, all dems would be on board with passage.
That’s the level of treachery we have going on in with our out of control fed govt. People are quick to level blame without KNOWING what’s going on behind the scenes. Morons all.
How do you know that?
He should have vetoed it and forced them to try to override his veto.
That is something a man with unbending principles would do.
