I haven't seen a post addressing this, but I feel everyone should know that there is an almost 100% chance the "stimulus" will be approved regardless of GEOTUS' veto. I'm sure someone will call me a doomer for this, but it is basic legislative procedure.
To override a veto, both the House and Senate just need a 2/3 majority in each. The votes in favor of the stimulus well exceed that threshold. Assuming they all vote the same way as before, the veto will be overridden and the pork bill will become law.
Our "representatives" don't care about us and it looks like normies are waking up to that. This same situation was one of the major causes, if not the cause, of 1776. This may well be the tipping point.

Just like with the other garbage omnibus bill, he needs to veto this one and let the senate override the veto. He needs to keep his hands clean from this one.
I would love that. Do a presidential address, override all TV stations, and just list every piece of pork line by line, and after each one is read, state "and you, the American people, get $600."
Taxation without representation
Sound familiar...........needs the same response.
Some are saying the omnibus Bill, which isn’t a budget, givesTrump has much more discretion on where the money goes, it may turn out in POTUS favor if he can redirect the funds.
Send money to wall etc
There are provisions that don't give him discretion though, such as the mandate that no less than $10 million(?) be spent on gender programs in Pakistan(?).
