WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump vetoed a bipartisan defense policy bill on Wednesday and raised the prospect that the United States could face a government shutdown during a pandemic, stirring new turmoil in Washington as he headed to Florida for Christmas.Angry at his fellow Republicans in Congress, Trump sought to refashion two complex pieces of legislation that passed Congress by wide, bipartisan margins after months of negotiation.
Trump followed through on a threat to veto the defense bill and demanded dramatic changes to a $2.3 trillion package that funds the federal government and provides nearly $900 billion in coronavirus aid.

Keeping his word.
no article 230, no signature. Pretty simple you deep state dickwads.
mccarthy is saying trump is not committed to vetoing the pork fest
DM has the article
So Reuters is OK with pissing American tax dollars to foreign nations and assumes that conservatives will turn on Trump because of muh bipartisanship. LOLOLOL
Defying Congress? Every day I find more reasons to hate the media.
President Trump caring about the American people not like the corrupt politicians who only want power and money! Let the government shut down, they though will still full pay not like the American people.
Defying Congress...
It’s why we have three branches of governance you idiots.
The press would love to have the president be the little lap
dog of Congress.
Why does no one mention the hypocrisy of the Senators who self-righteously said they could not vote for the rider in the defense bill ridding social media of liability protection, because they said, the rider had nothing to do with national defense. Then they en masse turned right around and voted for tons of money to be doled out all over the world in a covid relief bill that had jack to do with covid. The rotten dirty SOBs.
And now McConnell teams up with Chuck U Schumer, the vile, drooling reptile, in opposition to Trump, to override a veto.
Ouch, really bad news. I was so hoping the Pakistanis would get their 10 million for gender programs...,../s
God bless Donald Trump, balls the size of the rock of gibralter!
Amen
I just heard his address - sounds committed to me.
Republican and Democrat globalists love spending money all over the globe.
What they don’t like doing, is sending money back to the American taxpayer. When such proposals appear they become phoney hypocritical “deficit hawks.”
Pakistan is another Biden take the money thru the back door operation....Start a llc to protect themselves bill the government for 1/2 for negotiating on there issues and another check arrives home in America in some or many congressman’s or womens checking acct its called Direct deposit no source no paper
.............I believe a lot of RINO’s have some big bribes embedded in this TRILLION dollar piece of legislation that are coming to their numbered overseas accounts if this PORK BARREL for the WORLD passes. Trump’s just saying.......”get in there and FIGHT THE STEAL you bastards and I’ll think about signing off on your SECRET bribes.
Translation: The Republicans cave in again, as usual.
IF ALL of that foreign $$$ to countries on the other side of world were to be divided up & paid to AMERICANS——How much money would that be for each person???
