This is the uni-party in action.
Tobacco at 21, abortion and drugs? free for all...
veto this hot mess and shut the government down and leave it down
“That would be $1.4 billion more than Trump proposed.”
GEE! I wonder where that extra $1.4 Billion will go? (He says with voice dripping in sarcasm)
21 to be considered competent to buy smokes. 16(or less to vote).
Makes sense to me! ;-)
Now we see what the “deal” was.
They had no intention of funding the wall but only as leverage in conference committee.
Look for the GOP-e Senate to roll over dead again.
Going after law abiding citizens while at the same time giving a favored class of law breakers a pass. This world is screwed up.
“The bill also allocates $25 million for federal gun violence research, following a decades-long suspension of such funding. “
Speaking of which I was in a box store today and noticed that a carton of popular brand cigarettes were going for over $80!
Do the Feds have a drinking age? I thought all that bs was by state?
Trump shouldn't sign it. Maybe they can override a pocket veto, maybe not, but Trump shouldn't sign it without the money for the wall. Without a doubt there's way more than $24 billion in pork and favors in that budget, so, if they won't negotiate away some of their own goodies to give Trump a wall, don't sign it.
I say pocket veto rather than outright veto because it's a better head exploder that way. The dims would all be like "see, that's why he has to be impeached !! He's starving chipmunks and won't pay for fire hydrant mounted toilet paper dispensers in our cities". Just more fun all the way round.
JMHo

“deny “some” of Trump border wall funding”
...while purposefully leaving the door open to get the rest, and more, from the Defense budget, again this year.
The federal government has no authority to write a law about such a thing. It is a state issue via the constitution.
So you can be a soldier fighting in Afghanistan or some other god forsaken place, but you can’t have a cigarette if you are not 21.
“They have mostly rejected Trump’s calls for at least $24 billion over the long run to build his much-touted wall...”
And OAN shows the daily/expected annual cost of illegals - this year it should top $300 billion..
