Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

A bill.
So, anyone remember who has to sign a bill for it to become law? Anyone at school the day they taught that? Maybe there was a cute cartoon and a song on TV explaining this.
Not that it’s going to get enough support due to republicans falling in line, but you do realize that even if the president doesn’t sign or abstains it can still by passed by the house and congress right? It doesn’t stop at the president.
But you may be right, we already are totally doomed as it is.
If it passes at all, we need to pay attention to how many votes there are for it. It takes a 2/3 threshold in both houses to override a veto. If the passing margin is anywhere near that, there will be enormous popular pressure to get the last few votes for an override after the President vetoes it....
.... which will screw over those last few on the fence, because the J6 nutters will know who they are, and they already attacked Congress once. I hope their home state can give them good law enforcement protection, because the Federal Government won't.
Are you saying violence is an effective way to influence our government? Sounds like it may work better than voting.
Normally violence wouldn't be an effective way to influence government, but our President has just broadcasted that violence that supports him gets a free pass, at least while he can hand out pardons as if they were candy (or perhaps Fentanyl).
That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine.
One of Trump's favorite shitty moves is directing the Secret Service not to protect you.
Sadly, I would bet that they did not know that.
If it's truly bipartisan, they might be able to get enough votes to override.
If they're willing to take democratic signatures then Trump can't stop it.
This one?
Yep that's the one.
