Just a few hours ago the reports were that Trump was threatening to veto the bill. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/23/596401989/trump-threatens-veto-of-spending-deal
You know he doesn't care a bit about DACA though. If he did veto it, though, it would bring up something I find interesting. Would some people who voted against the original bill tell trump where to stick it and vote to override the veto? Would the people in the minority relish the chance to get their way (or rather prevent the majority from getting their way) or would they decide that even though they voted against it, nothing better would come along later (and there isn't much time for later right now) that they should let it pass?

Congress forgot to get the opinion of the Fox & Friends Department. they should know by now that's the only cabinet department Comb Over Caligula trusts.
I don't think that's likely at all, even if it means shutting down the government for two weeks. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

He caved.
So just the regular trumpian SNAFU, right? For those who don't know, SNAFU stands for Situation Normal: All F***d Up. I wonder if he realizes that threatening to veto a bill and then signing it, makes him look weak, cowardly and ineffective. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

At least Rand Paul tries to read it and tweeted about the billions and billions of waste ;http://theantimedia.org/rand-paul-live-tweeting-spending-bill/ The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | I forgot to say "spend spend spend" in my original post. Yes, plenty of pork barrel bribes in there to buy votes from both sides. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Iowa family of four apparently all died during their first night at Mexican condominium but were not missed until failure to attend a family function several days later. No wounds. No cherry red skin so its not likely to be carbon monoxide. Probably its another one of these strong insecticides being used indoors or near windows and air vents. Warning labels may be in English but even if in Spanish the workers may not be literate and may not much care about the dangers. |

Insecticide? Why should Putin fool with more complex manufacturing of nerve agents if there is something that can off a family of 4 that easily? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
