Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Different article:
... The National Trust for Historic Preservation is asking Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, to issue a temporary restraining order that would pause any further work on the ballroom until Congress authorizes it, the commissions review it and environmental assessments are completed....
Likely to back Dementia Don, but could go either way.

Legendary rock star goes off on Trump: ‘Disgusting human being’

Famous singer, songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews took to his band’s TikTok page on Thursday to make a few critical remarks about Donald Trump.

The six-minute video features Matthews walking around Brooklyn, New York, where he says he’s visiting family.

... His final remark is on how Trump reacted after the murders of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner.

“What a disgusting human being Donald Trump is. What a shallow, horrifying selfish, greedy, cruel little pig he is,” Matthew said....

Hmmm, is he pissing on Boebert for the Epstein files or pissing on Colorado for defying him on Tina Peters?

Hell, it's probably a twofer.

Bozobert. Details:
Trump vetoes bipartisan bill to provide clean water to rural Southeastern Colorado

... President Donald Trump on Tuesday vetoed the “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act” despite its sponsorship by fellow Republicans and the significant benefits it would provide to southeastern Colorado, where his support runs deep....
Leopards!
... The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would cost the federal government less than a half million dollars.
:roll:

Donald Trump costs taxpayers $3.4M the day before New Years with quick golf trip
7 times what the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act will cost.
... At the time, the same report also stated that Trump's golf expenses for 2025 will top $75m should he make just two more trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort before the end of the year.

Having arrived on December 20 and played golf every day since, there's a good chance that figure has been met. Perhaps the most terrifying statistic, however, is that if he follows the same golfing schedule for the remainder of his four-year term, that figure will exceed $300 million.
600 times what the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act will cost. :ateeth:
This is almost double the amount covered by the U.S. taxpayer during the veteran politician's first term in the White House between 2017 and 2021, when he spent $151.5 million of taxpayers' money on golf-related travel and security expenses.
:obscene-birdiered:

Back to the original article:
... The bill passed via voice vote in the House and unanimous consent in the Senate. That huge Congressional support for the project would seem to make the veto ripe for an override, but that would require testing the will of Republican leaders in both chambers to allow a vote and take on their party’s leader. Such a challenge to Trump is no sure thing.
:roll: Thune and Johnson the johnson are pussies.
... "President Trump decided to veto a completely non-controversial, bipartisan bill that passed both the House and Senate unanimously,” Boebert said. “If this administration wants to make its legacy blocking projects that deliver water to rural Americans; that's on them."

Boebert also questioned the president’s motives for the veto, suggesting it might be retribution because she helped ensure a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

“I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics.”
DonOLD's entire first year has been about retribution.

The entire Fryingpan–Arkansas Project, largely completed already, is very impressive. I'm not sure that I approve of such extreme manipulation of nature, especially with the Colorado River drying up some years, but what's done is done.

More petulant retribution:

Trump issues his first (2) vetoes of this term

There's the SE water project bill discussed above and there was also a bill that would have added protections for a small Miccosukee Native American tribal village in the Florida Everglades. The Crybaby in Chief is peeved because the Tribe expressed concerns over the ecological impact of the 'Alligator Alley' concentration camp.

Will Congress override this veto when it also passed the bill by voice vote? Unlikely, with the 2 sycophants running the chambers.

Part Duex?



“President Trump decided to veto a completely non-controversial, bipartisan bill that passed both the House and Senate unanimously. Why?” she said. “Because nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections.”

She continued: “I must have missed the rally where he stood in Colorado and promised to personally derail critical water infrastructure projects. My bad, I thought the campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.”

I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution,” she added.

Constitution, meh. We don't need no stinking Constitution.
After long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives, I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars. This will allow us to build the "Dream Military" that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe. If it weren't for the tremendous numbers being produced by Tariffs from other Countries, many of which, in the past, have "ripped off" the United States at levels never seen before, I would stay at the $1 Trillion Dollar number but, because of Tariffs, and the tremendous Income that they bring, amounts being generated, that would have been unthinkable in the past (especially just one year ago during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, the Worst President in the History of our Country!), we are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number while, at the same time, producing an unparalleled Military Force, and having the ability to, at the same time, pay down Debt, and likewise, pay a substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country!

Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President's Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their "stupidity," the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.
So sue Congress, you big fat :crybaby: . Are you afraid of how the courts might rule?

Here's the vote:

Also, Not Voting - 1: Daines (R-MT) :clap:

S.J.Res.98 - A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.
:happy-cheerleaderkid:

Now, I suppose it goes to the House. Will Johnson the johnson and the RepuQs kill it? Does MAGA think Congress should be involved in the decision to go to war?

I predict they will play the stupes card and by default maybe sorta say "I do not agree with this approach" and it will mean nothing.

Rasmus Jarlov
(Conservative MP in Denmark. Chairman of Denmark's Defence Committee. Former minister of business in Denmark.)

He is absolutely right. Greenland is not part of Denmark because a boat arrived 500 years ago but because:

- Vikings arrived and settled when Greenland was empty i the late 900's.
- Greenland came under the Danish crown in 1380 and has remained so ever since.
- The ownership has been recognised and undisputed by the international community and in treaties ever since.
- The USA has signed several treaties recognising Danish ownership.
- The international court in the Hague ruled in 1933 that Denmark does not just own parts of Greenland but all of it.
- The entire UN plenary assembly (including USA) voted for the full integration of Greenland into Denmark in 1954, so Greenland is now not owned but is a part of Denmark.
- The Greenlanders have not wanted to leave even though they have had the option to do so for 17 years.

We are, therefore, not going to have a discussion about Denmark's sovereignty or right to Greenland.
:---P Over 1000 years. Our POTUS is a moron.

Otoh, a boat did arrive in fully occupied America 500 years ago, 400 years after the Vikings first settled here. Maybe Dementia Don got his land masses confused and Denmark should seize the US. I would commit treason to support that.
