President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I wonder if anyone has mentioned to Burr that they can override the veto. It's on them as much as it is the President. They are really playing with fire. I know they probably think they can spin anything into at least a "both sides" argument. But it isn't going to take much for this to go seriously bad for all of the Rs.

Meanwhile, updating an issue that truly matters:
