Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced early Tuesday morning that the Senate will return to Washington on Dec. 29 to respond to a potential veto from President Trump of a mammoth defense bill.

McConnell, speaking from the Senate floor, said that he had struck a deal with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) for the chamber to return for a rare post-Christmas session during which he said they will "process" a veto override, if it's passed by the House.

A long time ago, was there a misprint in the spelling of Mitch’s name? Did it originally start with a ‘B’ instead of a ‘M’, and the error just stuck?

I’d love to publish Mitch Mcconnell’s personal kickback from this monstrosity ‘virus bill’. I bet a free Julian Assange could find that out.

I guess they never heard of the Pocket Veto. They can’t override something that just doesn’t happen.

“...said that he had struck a deal with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer...”

McConnell conspiring with Schumer against Trump. McConnell is another one who should never be forgiven.

Not if Trump sticks the bill in his pocket. On the 29th there will be no veto to override.

It’s ironic. The GOP has survived on affirmative action for decades. People don’t vote for them for what they do, which isn’t much*, they vote for them because they aren’t democrats and that’s it. That’s where the bar is set for them by their supporters, who at this point are gullible saps.
*more than ten years spent exclusively on failing to repeal obamacare. No alternative ideas, nothing, they don’t even talk about it anymore.

There is no pocket veto if the senate doesn’t adjourn. They are using daily Pro Forma gaveling into and out of session to prevent a recess on the 10th day to prevent the pocket veto of both defense and Covid bills.

Traitor Mitch

Both will be minorities as hopefully Trump starts something like the Americans for America 1st party.
