The Republicans that voted for this override, should be primary and removed from office at the next election. Unbelievable that they would undercut Trump even in his last days in office.

“”NO. He signed the so-called “COVID Relief” fiasco. He vetoed the National Defense fiasco. “”

That’s rich. Last week people who weren’t paying attention were writing everyone to say he vetoed the RELIEF bill when it was the DEFENSE bill. Now you have people who say, “I though he signed this.”

Who’s on first?

He showed how weak he was.

Might as well put that tag on conservatives also, politicians and non-politicians, as they're about to let the DEMs take the White House without a real fight. Pathetic.

Well, that will teach them. NOT!!! We're about to get our lives ruined by the DEMs and the Deep State. So few give a damn.

That’s what I told them today when they called begging for money for GA.
I told them after REPUBLICANS give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty, it’s all over anyway, so no, I am not giving you money.

“House overrides Trump veto of defense bill..”

How is that a cave on Trump’s part?

No surprise here. But posting like these used to list the names of both the Yea’s and nays of how they voted.

You’re asking a whole of people, who probably don’t even know what an “override” is, to take action?

They’ll only hear the talking heads praise it to high heaven, and think it was a good thing.

And then head back to their bongs, crack pipes, etc., and move on.

I’ve been reading a SciFi series called “Spinward Fringe”. Here’s a passage I found apropos:

“Regent Galactic and corporations like them take advantage of the weak, the solitary, the immigrants, transients and the minorities while they use marketing and empty entertainments to subdue the masses. Whether they keep their subjects in chains or in the bondage of manufactured culture and debt, Regent Galactic and companies like them are slavers.”

Excerpt From: Lalonde, Randolph. “Spinward Fringe Broadcasts 1 and 2: Resurrection and Awakening.”

Feel free to substitute Regent Galactic for what ever real, earthly entity you wish. But the sentiment is the same.

Grahnesty was Mitchy’s messenger to get Trump to cave .

“Since Voting no longer matters, I guess that means the GOP no longer matters, either.”

Correct. The GOP no longer matters. They do not represent anyone making over $99k.

Didn’t you read Art if the Deal? Everyone has a price.

I honestly hope Trump makes out of the country. He has done much, but he never learned that there are truly no rules in politics.
