Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell rush to vote through Defense bill in face of Donald Trump's threat to veto it unless it also ends internet giants' Section 230 protection

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are preparing to move a crucial defense bill to a vote in their respective chambers without President Donald Trump's demand for a provision to repeal legal protections enjoyed by tech companies.

It will also contain a bipartisan provision - disliked by the president - that will allow military bases named for Confederate heroes to be renamed.

The move would essentially dare Trump to veto the billion dollar legislation that includes funding for the troops and a pay raise for service members.

Leave the GOP today. Register as an “I” and wait for a Trump party to emerge.

If he’s going to veto it, why not wait for Biden? Unless they think Trump is staying...

Leave the GOP today.


I did that 15 years ago.

I still vote straight republican, but simply because the alternative is ridiculously unacceptable.

Why should anyone, especially ‘Deplorables’ want or need Free Speech...?

It really has been that way for decades. That is what makes Trump so truly special. I have a feeling that if my favorite, Cruz, had been elected, we’d still have the obamacare mandate, we’d still have troops fighting all over the world, we’d still be discussing it endlessly, and the embassy would not be in Jerusalem.

It would have been “politics as usual”, with just a hint of republicanism.

Trump blew it up and it is what we desperately needed. And now that we’ve had a taste, there is NO going back.

“The move would essentially dare Trump to veto the billion dollar legislation that includes funding for the troops and a pay raise for service members.”

This is SOP for swamp dwellers like Mitch. Add horrible bills to legislation that is worthwhile and then scream that you are starving the troops when it is their fault that they added the garbage. If Mitch thinks protecting Section 230 protection for his Big Tech contributors and taking Confederate names off of bases is so important, let him put those forward in a free standing bill.

Veto it, Mr. President.

Update...

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Looks like certain Republican Senators are getting cold feet with respect to the termination of Big Tech’s Section 230, a National Security and Election Integrity MUST. For years, all talk, no action. Termination must be put in Defense Bill!!!

In my State, that would preclude me from having a voice in the primaries.
