So what I'm gathering overall with this, especially since the establishment gop showed their complete spinelessness and nearly all voted for this porkulus bill, options on what to do about this were limited in the first place.
Veto outright, it would've been overridden by drunki and mitch the bitch. Best bet for a while I was seeing was a pocket veto, but as I've seen others on here state before, since they have at least one representative for house and senate to basically walk up and be "present," bullshit technicality puts them as perpetually present, which upends the process of the pocket veto.
Please correct if I'm wrong, but were there no other options to be taken considering the above? President Trump's veto would've resulted in just being a veto made in protest that would've been overridden - with this, he at least presents another option to be taken. At best, after the bill and his own protests against it have been presented and both conservative public and dem leeches alike both hate the pork in it, he's given them a chance at public redemption to address the pork in point by point and strike some items out to save their public image that even lamestream media wouldn't be able to repair outright; at worse, they double-down on a bill that has possibly the lowest public approval in recent history and cements their name to it, putting those that double-down on it as the public enemies they are to a wider audience.
I don't like these state of affairs as much as the next guy, but aside from action from the people that we know is inevitable, what other option was there politically to take in this regard?
