Now he's threatening to veto the Defense Authorization Bill

Link to tweet

?s=21

I will Veto the Defense Authorization Bill if the Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (of all people!) Amendment, which will lead to the renaming (plus other bad things!) of Fort Bragg, Fort Robert E. Lee, and many other Military Bases from which we won Two World Wars, is in the Bill!

I’m sure there will be many people pointing out that you care about questionable symbols more than the lives of the troops.

The Senate just stripped out the requirement that campaigns have to report solicitations from foreign countries. For some reason.

I see Trump is still name-calling women. It makes you look weak and impotent, Donald. Keep it up.

Isn't there anyone on this planet that can get to him to tell him to stop with the racist bullshit? Especially this close to an election where he is cratering badly and doesn't need to piss anybody off?

Senate strips provision from bill requiring campaigns to report foreign intelligence help

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142527143

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/30/politics/senate-removes-ban-foreign-election-help/index.html

Word War III isn't going to begin because we delay appropriation until the children (the GOP) have been put to bed. Anything beneficial will be stripped so why cooperate at all? Just because Trump is making like a broken clock doesn't make me suddenly want to embrace the parasitical military/incarceral industry.
