Senate votes to override Trump’s veto on defense bill

The Senate voted 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

    1. @Kenny Hill 1000% agreed but he will make sure his partner companies get their money so he gets his kickback. They want subtraction of pork and fat to add stimulus money. Mconnell says nope I want my kickbacks

    2. It would have been easier to negotiate 1200 hundred dollars checks something we already did before Donald knew there was no possible way the Senate would pass 2000$ payouts Donald causes problems for Americans constantly.

    1. Jesus Zamora…. Lol, I voted Obama both terms.
      Are you a POC trying to “shame me’ with a false accusation of being racist?
      If so, your totally wrong and you failed at your “virtue signaling”

    2. @Noneshere Obviously you have no clue wtf you’re talking about….. Obama handed trumputin a growing, thriving economy which Obama did coming out of a recession….. the numbers do not lie oh delusional one…..do some research and educate yourself….. black/minority unemployment…. overall jobs created and many other economic factors if you took the time to learn and stop wasting your time spreading bullshit

  1. Finally the Republicans did something right. I hope the Gorgia Senate race turns out electing the two Democrats. That way Mitch’s power will be diminished and some good Bills are passed to help Anerica. Including a new relief plan that is better directed to those that need it.

    1. @C_real Ya it is Trump’s idea, thats where the $2000 number came from originally, the Senator of Missouri made this clear today.

    2. @Emma Ramos ….Moot point, much? Talk about unnecessary rhetoric. I think Trumps maga initiative speaks volumes on why that might be an issue now. But let’s just continue on with the status quo because its always been done, right? 23 trillion and counting, genius. We don’t have it to spend!!

  2. ALL bills should be ‘stand alone’ bills. Bunching bills together is used for ‘pork’, and should be discontinued.

    1. When people die and the last thing they say is “I don’t want Trump at my funeral”, you know he’s a POS. Check our Bill Maher’s ‘eulogy’ for Trump if you want a good laugh. Trump was so enraged he tweeted his disapproval.

    1. @Murdock Keith Patriots accept and respect the results of fair and free elections, as that is the basis of a democratic system. What is clear here is a corrupt domesday cult, who are so obviously out of touch with reality. Inauguration Day 2021 will be The Day everything becomes REAL for them. Can’t wait to see how they react to the world carrying on as normal without them!

    2. From a letter to her son John Quincy in 1801 about her husband’s loss to Jefferson. Generally, Mrs Adams was a friend of Jefferson. But in the early 1800s their friendship was on the rocks.

  3. Let’s remember this the next election and just have to those people voted out of their seats as well LoL ! ! !
    No more settling for the BS any of them Democrats nor Republicans ! ! ! 🗨️☝️😎💢

    1. Or we wait. Over 80% of Congress is over the age of 80. Even the best healthcare in the world can’t help when your number is up.

    1. Bro omg imagine not wanting trillions of your hard earned dollars to land in the hands of billion dollar companies youve never heard of. Who could be so selfish to want to get what they are entitled to. Wait a second thats what liberalism is about. Getting money in the hands of people who deserve it. But here we are just selling out for 600$. You guys cannot be serious.

    2. @M C Is that what you determined with your research? Or is that something you heard from the chattering class on tv? It is a rhetorical question…no need to answer …..everyone already knows.

  4. Just remember the long line of enablers, from Susan Collins all the way to Mitch McConnell and of course, those two in Georgia up for reelection.

    1. @santa fe, bantayan island life just like the USA wasted tax payer money to build a useless and ineffective wall along the border.

    1. @Caleb Brewster 1777 As opposed to the guy who’s pardoning war criminals and murderers, and his friends who pled guilty to federal crimes? Yes, that Mr. Biden.

    2. @tea42Yeah, go ahead and post a comparison list between the two. It’s not even remotely comparable.

    1. “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
      ― Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

      “Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV” – Donald Trump*, dementia test recipient.

      “Let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can. Donald J. Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head.” – First Lady Michelle Obama

      “Where I am. I put – I’m working like a – my a** off – at Christmas stuff that you know, who gives a f*** about Christmas stuff and decoration? But I need to do it, right?
      Ok, and then I do it. And I say that I’m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, ‘Oh, what about the children that they were separated?’Give me a f***ing break. Where they were saying anything when Obama did that?” – Melanoma, the first prostitute to occupy the White House.
