You want to think it's satire, but it's not. Let me break it down for you anyway:
You want to think it's satire, but it's not. Let me break it down for you anyway:
1 - Congress passes a bill allowing Americans to sue Saudi Arabia for supporting terrorism.
2 - Obama, who has been vocally against the bill, vetoes it.
3 - Congress overrides Obama's veto and makes the bill a law.
4 - Backlash ensues.
5 - The passage of the law was obviously Obama's fault, per theGOP POO for two reasons:
(a) Obama didn't educate Congress properly
(b) Obama didn't participate in the legislative process.
Yes, their argument is that the President didn't educate the legislature because Congress shouldn't have to know anything unless the president tells them. And, apparently, Congressional Republicans are upset that the Executive isn't participating enough in Legislative matters.
Yes, you read that right. The POO party is now claiming they couldn't do their jobs appropriately because Obama didn't stop them.

If that's not what bipartisanship looks like........ :(
Don't make it about the GOP. It's not.
Put that terrorist nigger in GITMO.
That specific action is Mitch McConnell demonstrating leadership of his party.
Reid... who is retiring was the one vote against the override. I call the remainder cowards because they went with what will be defensible when they run for reelection.
Sanders merely abstained. I'm disappointed.
But... McConnell is driving a clown car.
They created the adversarial relationship that they demonstrated that day. They own that.
Note: Sanders and Kaine were the abstainers; were both on the road for Hillary at the time.
It makes sense because there is no other reason they'd regret it so quickly, it's not like they've got new information now that they didn't have a few days ago.
It's not so much Republican/Democrat. It looks like they all are getting fed up with his rules.
Such is the much vaunted intelligence of the liberal left ...
