Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He is not going to sign this, lol.

If we know anything about Trump by this point, is that he'll say things and do the opposite. He's not signing this, guys.

After these votes the pressure is on him in a way he has yet experienced. I don't know if I can think of another issue in which almost all Republican legislators opposed him.

[–] pyria@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe but he will brand any Republican who is against him as, ironically, a traitor.

Because that's who he wants on his team, people loyal to him, regardless of affiliation. But Republicans are easier to dupe so they mostly fell in line.

They almost unanimously voted to release the files. Unanimous votes in the House are not frequent. On this issue at least, he doesn't have any loyalists in Congress.

But that doesn't mean he's not going to shoot this down himself should it go on his desk.

My guy, how blind are you? If the Republicans all voted to release it then they are in on the cover up. They were told to vote yes because they won't release anything incriminating. There's no fucking opposition.

Don't be a dumbass and pay attention to the news. They flipped because they could no longer stop it with Grijalva finally seated. Trump begged Boebert to vote against and she didn't. All part of the plan?

There's nothing Trump can do. His veto would be overridden. He either does nothing and in 10 days it goes through or he acts like he never cared in the first place, no matter how ridiculous that is.
