Thread - omnibus, CRs

-Continuing Resolution (CR) is a mechanism to address a budgetary “gap”
Under @senatemajldr (not) awesome leadership CRs have become the norm, which is maddening because that’s NOT what CRs are meant for
-pocket veto
-veto
-President versus Congress

Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution
-any Bill shall not be returned by the President within 10 Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment
Sorry here’s the link - Article 1, Section 7 of our Constitution (sometimes referred to as the presentment clause)
One could infer “pocket veto” +/- 2 days Jan 4th, 5th, or 6th...

My educated guess is Trump knows
“might” (operative word) be his “trust the plan” screwing McConnell Senate GOP & nearly ALL Americans
-though lacking a signature and formal objections
-does not become law
-Pocket vetoes are not subject to the congressional veto override process
And here‘s WHY - it is literally the last sentence:

“...unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law”
the massive bill was flown down to FL yesterday so the 10 day clock started yesterday...

The biggest issue I can see is (I believe both chambers) are in recess - it’s possible the Senate is in a pro forma session but the House for sure is in recess -which is why that last sentence in Article I, Section 7, Clause 2 is pretty damn important

As for historical purposes - pocket vetos are not new but pocket vetos under Trump certainly take on new & insidious meaning. Because that piece of sh_t would be happy to see more Americans suffer.
Why?
Trump is a crazed sociopath & enjoys human suffering

House Calendar December 2020 & Jan 2021
per our Constitution
-117th Congress is sworn in on Jan 3, 2021
-Jan 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress to “certify” the electoral college ballots
IMO: Trump is a emotional Terrorist & he genuinely “gets off” on hurting people
so buckle up
Oh and one last thing - I think Rep Dingle was breaking the emergency glass. So it might be worthwhile rewatching her comments
Because now that you have an understanding of the pocket veto - I think you’ll agree with my assessment

It is one thing to read the words but a totally different thing to hear how fucking insane @realDonaldTrump is

Trump sounds unhinged & delusional

HAND TO GOD @realDonaldTrump will cost @senatemajldr his majority and that delights me
Factoring in early @ossoff @ReverendWarnock voters & this bombshell
MITCH deserves everything coming his way

moreover you can hear Trump repeatedly threatening Georgia Lawmakers
It is extremely unnerving & frankly just sick & unAmerican
Audio: Trump berates Ga. secretary of state, urges him to ‘find’ votes

. @realDonaldTrump

-“won GA by at least “a 500,000 votes“

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
