To be honest, that does sound good. And they can probably get Mexico to pay for the fence.

I get a laugh out of reading some of the weird and wonderful posts in this thread. Some of you are so blind to the truth...but I have to admit at the same time some of you could be excellent fiction writers.

Good on ya lad!

I said to my son 90% of what's on the internet is just BS. And the other 10% take with a grain of salt!

That wasn't the case when the internet was created and I started using it.

Now the little devil in me likes to poke a virtual finger in to the ribs of the ones who need safe spaces and PC BS.

At the rate he's going, it wouldn't surprise me if he pardoned Whitmer's kidnapping plotters.

there's no doubt that the framers erred on this....george mason was one of the few who argued against pardons....but in their defense, how could they ever have imagined someone like trump holding the highest office in the land.

Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed the sweeping defense bill that authorizes a topline of $740 billion in spending and outlines Pentagon policy.

"Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military's history, and contradicts efforts by my administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions," Trump wrote in a lengthy statement to Congress.

"It is a 'gift' to China and Russia," the president added, without citing specific details.


Earlier this month, the National Defense Authorization Act passed both houses of Congress by veto-proof margins, meaning that any veto by Trump would likely be overridden.

Congress must now vote again to override Trump. The House is slated to return from a holiday break on Monday, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said his chamber would vote on overriding the veto Tuesday.

This year's 4,517-page defense bill, which typically passes with strong bipartisan support and veto-proof majorities, funds America's national security portfolio. It has been signed into law for nearly six consecutive decades.

The bill's passage, at the minimum, secures soldier pay raises and keeps crucial defense modernization programs running.

"Donald Trump just vetoed a pay raise for our troops so he can defend dead Confederate traitors," Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote on Twitter, highlighting one of Trump's issues with the must-pass defense bill.


"Democrats will vote to override it," Schumer added.

"Disturbingly, Trump is using his final hours in office to sow chaos, including by denying our servicemembers a long-overdue pay raise and hazard duty pay; our families paid family leave, child care, housing and health protections; and our veterans the benefits that they need and deserve," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.

"Next week, December 28, the House will take up the veto override with bipartisan support," she wrote.


Other senior Democratic lawmakers criticized Trump, as well.

"The Kremlin is actively attacking our cyber networks. Instead of standing up for our national security, the President is downplaying Russia's involvement — which contradicts U.S. intelligence — and now he just vetoed legislation that contains actionable items that we can use to hold Putin accountable for this kind of belligerent behavior," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote in a statement.

"This isn't about politics, this is about the security of the United States and the safety of our men and women in uniform," Shaheen added.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., wrote in a statement that he was speechless after Trump's decision to withhold signature on the NDAA.

"Literally right after what could be the most massive cyberattack in our nation's history, the President is eliminating the new tools and authorities we need for our nation's cyber defense," wrote Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"I call on Republican colleagues not only to speak out, but stand up and look forward to a strong, bipartisan override vote," he added.

Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., wrote on Twitter that he would not vote to override the president's veto. Graham did not vote for the bill the first time.

several who pleaded guilty to their crimes.

read an amazing stat recently.....trump has personal or political ties with 88% of the people he's given pardons or commutations.

clinton and GHWB engaged in some dirty dealings with regard to pardons, but obviously nothing as blatantly corrupt as this.

worth noting that nixon didn't pardon any of his staff...they all served jail time the were given.

IMO this is by far the most corrupt of this round of pardons.

During the Mueller investigation, Trump’s lawyer floated a pardon to Manafort.
Manafort withdrew his cooperation with prosecutors, lied, was convicted, and then Trump praised him for not “ratting.”

and FFS, take a quick look at

he pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.
The witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute he knew to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister.

what a prince.
