No veto - “we didn’t have time to read it. No time! Had to save America!”

Veto - “we had plenty of time to consider this bill and yes, Sudan deserves $700 million and you get $600 bucks. Deal with it, bitches.”

The first one is how this bill passed initially and how it has now gone into the law.

But the pork is already out in the public. 80% of congress voted yay on this for the first pass. Are you saying that number would be down to below 66% for the second pass? How?

First pass everyone could say “oh noes, we had to act fast!” Second pass, they don’t get that out. They know all the park in this bill, and they like it. A veto would have forced them to own it.

In the current state he's redlined all of the pork. If they don't fix it, they own it. Same situation, different words.

There’s no vote on any of this redlines bs. Every GOPe and dim will say they voted on a bill they could not have possibly read because the world was ending and they are very upset now that they know it was full of bullshit. “I’d never vote for that again. Good thing I won’t have to since the president signed it. Vote for me in two years.”
