Trump vetoes massive defense bill despite overwhelming GOP SUPPORT

The House and Senate have just given dirty donny a big slap in the face. They have also given the military a raise.
Why does dirty donny hate the military so much?

 

Because the future real soldiers were the ones who used to shove him in his locker at the military academy?

Very interesting veto override.... complete mix of D's and R's on both sides... Imagine... voting for a bill on some combination of the bill itself and your personal beliefs...

SNIP
Only seven GOP senators voted with Trump to oppose the override. Forty Republicans voted for the override, along with 41 Democrats. Sanders and five other liberals who opposed the defense bill also voted against the override.

Senate overrides Trump's defense bill veto

It's just keeps getting worst for Trump?!! Trump's losing streak continues!

(CNN) The Senate voted on Friday to override President Donald Trump's veto of the sweeping defense bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act, delivering a bipartisan rebuke to the President in his final days in office.

Trump's veto forced Republicans to decide whether to defy the President in support of legislation that sets defense policy for the country. The legislation, however, originally passed both the House and Senate with veto-proof majorities and the House voted on Monday to override the veto. The final vote was 81-13, far above the two-thirds majority needed.

Trump had threatened to veto the defense bill, which includes pay raises for America's soldiers and modernizations for equipment, because it doesn't include a repeal of Section 230, a law that shields internet companies from being liable for what is posted on their websites by them or third parties.

Interesting suggested renames

Benning (GA) - William C Lee (Father of the US Airborne) - NP

Bragg (NC) - Revels - No opinion
Hood (TX) - (Audie) Murphy - Sounds perfect
Polk (LA) - (William) Claiborne - I'm gonna just throw Fort Brees out there....
Gordon (GA) - (Alvin) York or (Henry) Flipper - Nobody is going to want to be stationed at Fort Flipper.... sorry..
Pickett (VA) - MacArthur or Marshall - Give Lee (above) to MacArthur (closer to his home) - Need another Virginian for this one...
Hill (VA) - MacArthur or Marshall - Marshall
Rucker (AL) - (Oliver) Dillard or (Gilbert) Johnson - No opinion
Beauregard (LA) - I'm out of famous military non-confederates from La...

Fun projects for somebody...
