There's no "doom" in facts. The fact is, he signed another gigantic whopping piece of shit bill because our totally corrupt Congress including RINO's cornered him into doing it. If he didn't sign it, or veto'd it, they were prepared to override. I don't understand why he didn't veto and force Republicans to cast that shitty vote. We can only hope some sort of deal has been made to save his presidency.
That's bullshit. The impoundment act language is plain as day - it creates obligations on the part of the President, not Congress, to justify why he will not spend money. It basically allows him to delay spending for up to 45 days unless Congress acts to remove the spending from the bill, which you can rest assured they will not. And 45 days is well past Jan 20th, at which point, our only hope is that Trump finds a way to stay in office, otherwise the sleepy zombie will be redistributing all of our wealth faster than you can say "marxism sucks".
Act – “Impoundment Control” – established procedures to prevent the President and other government officials from unilaterally substituting their own funding decisions for those of the Congress.
Yeah because Congress will surely want to make Trump happy after he already signed the bill and Congress will suddenly not want the pork they themselves already passed and Trump signed. Mitch and Nancy are both happy.
He signed it in a way with notes and redlines that indicate what he wants added and removed. The last video of the bill was extremely popular so he's basically going to get a win from the public either way. If they remove the pork he wins. If they increase the amount of the checks to most Americans it is also a win in the eyes of most of the masses. If they do none of what he wants they look like the enemy.
He made the best out of a shitty hand that he was dealt.
Like a teacher grading a paper in red ink, and handing it back to be corrected for a passing grade. This puts a spotlight on the bullshit, and the responsibility on Congress. Best option he had.
I agree with this. If senate and house don't do anything of what they have agreed to do, then they are all double fucked and he would have had his revenge.
Thank you, this is what needs to be stickied!

He should have forced the override. He is not perfect. This is a massive failure.
Yup. This is 2000's Republican party stuff here. Who remembers losing every. single. time? Damn it feels bad, but it feels like home.
seems the FBI won the spy vs spy games vs the NSA. One side uses bombs against the egg heads
Agreed.
I agree to an extent, but this forces each congressman to expose themselves. Do you stand with the people or are you in office for pork.
His advisors have fucked him for four years.
He should not have signed this garbage.
He's a grown man. Responsible for his own actions.
What the fuck was he thinking?
Somewhere Paul Ryan is smiling.
Probably a bathhouse

Look up the history of that act as far as legal challenges. It’s complete and utter nonsense.
you mean this??

in short, he blinked.
