the possibility of DJT invoking the insurrection is zero. I would say it was less than zero if it was possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is that a fact?!

No, it is an opinion.

We can see what they fear. So it should be used judiciously.

Just looked it up. It’s amendment 833 (put in by Escobar of TX, that putz) to the NDAA, not the Covid bill. Trump is not going to sign NDAA, but McConnell and Schumer are plotting to override.

You have to revolt to find out what's in the bill.

The most stupid and sick part, (nearly guaranteed), if Trump would have signed this bill, EVEN WHILE CONGRESS TRIED TO UNLAWFULLY AMEND THE US CONSTITUTION, the Judicial Branch, and especially Roberts, would have found a way to let the unlawful provision and bill stand...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EVEN WHILE CONGRESS TRIED TO UNLAWFULLY AMEND THE US CONSTITUTION

Seems they are always trying to diminish the Constitution...Just as they are attempting to do with the election remedies, what you captured in this post might be the most important piece of dog crap they inserted into the bill.

The Constitution matters!

Thank you.

I just watched President Trump’s comments. You’ve got to love this guy, as not only is he a fighter, he is taking the Dems to the woodshed. His basic argument is give the money to the American people, and to American companies; and not to foreign governments, illegal aliens, and lobbyists and their pet projects.

LOL Nice deflection...However, please note that I never said he would or wouldn’t resort to that Constitutional Power...That was not the point. I just questioned your certainty & using definitive statements w/o backing up with data, source, etc.

State as opinion—great—but as fact, how about backing it up with concrete information—and unless you have had personal communications with the President, can you really state as fact?

Offering to make a bet in no way backs up a fact...LOL besides, what would YOU offer? This is rhetorical as 1. I don’t think you could offer equal trade, and 2. I don’t play games of chance since I cannot predict/control the outcome :)

To me, the important point (made by another poster) is that Dems and some GOP seem to continually attempt to subvert the President’s CONSTITUTIONAL authority (whether or not he exercises it). As reported here and elsewhere, this bill has far less to do with actually helping struggling families than with pork—much of it going abroad (and I can source that with the President’s most recent Tweet).

BTW, I have faith Trump will win.

Freegards.

Changes must be made “or else the next administration will have to deliver a relief bill. And maybe that administration will be me, and we’ll get it done.”
