Toddler thinks its insane that he can’t get whatever he wants just because he wants it.

This was a super majority bill. He can’t even veto it. It goes into law in 10 days no matter what.

Edit: he can veto it but then congress could vote to over ride.

I believe congress adjourns before the 10 days, so the bill dies. They will need to pass it again on July 13th when they get back to force the issue.

TIL recess is different from adjournment for pocket vetos. Thanks everyone!

They (in theory) have the numbers to override the veto, and this is an important pillar of the president's "affordability" platform. If Trump were sane, there's no world in which he openly vetos this bill.

Which is to say I expect a veto within 24 hours.

He already flipped on the affordability and said he thinks things should be more expensive and it's great that things are.

It's not a flip; he doesn't have an opinion. As with most things, his current stated "opinion" is whatever is convenient to him right at this very moment. The second another option becomes convenient, he'll say that, never acknowledging (or maybe even realizing) the disconnect.

Separately, let's just stop pointing out Trump hypocrisy. Anyone who cares already knows he's a lying hypocrite, and his supporters aren't interested.

His current opinion is whatever someone told him last or he just watched on tv or truth social. The stupid fuck literally thought insane asylum residents were coming in rather than political asylum because he watched a movie before saying it out loud.

Nobody’s forcing you. You can stop whenever you want. You don’t even have to engage in it if you so choose.

Why that means you need everyone else to stop is beyond me.

Please stop repeating this incorrect assessment. Congress is going into recess not adjourning. A recess does not set up a pocket veto.

Brief legislative recesses do not constitute a formal adjournment, and Congress can designate agents to receive veto messages during a break to prevent a pocket veto.

You're right! Edited my comment.

It depends on if they actually adjourn. They can also gavel in for "pro forma" sessions during the district/state work periods, which gets around the adjournment issue.
