Senate overrides Trump's defense bill veto

During an unusual New Year's Day session, the Republican-controlled Senate voted to override President Trump's attempt to block a $740 billion defense policy bill. Later in the day a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Texas Congressman Louis Gohmert, who argued falsely that Vice President Mike Pence has the power to decide the outcome of the election.

Love how they can override the president but we can't override mitch McConnell

[blueowlwill]

They can pass a defense bill, but not $2000 relief for the American people...Thanks CONgress! Your so helpful

[tommybombadil]

Of course they overrode the veto.
Defense spending is their main source of kickback money.

[heavenly]

So the Senate can override Trump for their people but not McConnell for the people who are struggling??? This country is a real joke!

[joefawley]

Waste money on this nonsense and billions of foreign aid and personal political interests but when it comes to helping american people they absolutely refuse.

Bipartisanship when it comes to helping billionaires snd military contractors, but bitter partisanship when it comes to helping the working class.

How much of the defense bill houses mentally ill veterans, and how much goes to corporate profiteers?

[coettastratton]

I'm sick of our government and the cheating

[joefran]

We need to get back to our roots! A Government by the people, for the people, of the people! Not these Corporate Puppets.
