Senate leadership hammered out a bipartisan deal to block President Trump from possibly vetoing the defense authorization bill, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced early Tuesday.

“The Democrat leader and I have agreed to unanimous request as follows: The Senate will meet for pro forma sessions only until Dec. 29 when we will return to session,” the top Republican said from the Senate floor.

They are all dirty. They used Trump to help them when in office and now they want to be done with him so they can get a dirty politician in office so they can go back to business as usual. It’s on both sides. Powell mentioned in a early interview that when all this fraud comes out then don’t be surprised if some republicans are mixed up in it.

I hope Trump burns down there tree house. Expose them all if you have to. I keep hoping he has a huge card left to play. Pray to God for him.

I find it had to believe there are 2/3s in the senate that would vote to override his veto. 60 maybe.

“we’re saving the senate for what?“

So a bunch of morons who think that they can actually change this country using politics, the legal system and the media can blow more smoke up our butts for a few more years. And get rich in the process.

One of the only good things that is going to happen in this God Forsaken country over the next few years is watching the Perfidious Republican Party become a permanent minority, and then minor, party. We will be a one party dictatorship anyway, so watching these Republican traitors and scum bags lose their place at the big pig trough will be a little glimmer of light in the pervasive darkness.

they are BOTH connected to ChInA Sedition.
BOTH should lose their property and freedom,
but cannot go to GITMO until recess.

how about their arrest during a pocket veto??
then AMERICA WINS.

And hopefully Trump will let the bill seat and do nothing.

If Trump does nothing then it becomes law as of tomorrow I believe.

It’s not Trump vs the Democrats. It is Trump vs the Globalists.

From the article:
...a bipartisan deal to block President Trump.

Wake up America!

By definition, a deal to block the leader of the R party cannot be a bipartisan deal!

Trump should veto it anyway.

The United States Congress no longer supports the United States nor its citizens and they should be forced to show their treasonous actions.

Veto it anyway, make them return over the break and cast their votes. Those lazy grifters will at least be angry as hell that Trump forced them to give up their holidays in the mansions mysteriously paid for by meager congressional salaries.

“ His loyalty is to CHINA, not us.”

His loyalty is to his and his family’s personal wealth. It makes him an oligarch of sorts. He wants to play ball will China, defense contractors and the Chamber of Commerce for the same reason...they spread the money around thickly. He’s a metrosexual Nancy Pelosi. A good neck for stretching.

They called me this morning looking for money for the Senate races. I told them I was disgusted with their lack of support for President Trump. Until this system gets fixed, I consider all of them to be thieves who are a part of a foreign takeover and enslavement attempt. Not one dime to any of them.

The word I think fits best for the GOP is “amputation”.

************

I see it as extinction. People would leave the party in droves, literally overnight, if there was a viable alternative party for conservatives.
