President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    Socially isolated? Man, get your meds checked. No possible twisting of the phrase "fringe minority" can make it cover half the nation. If you're not meeting them and think they're the socially isolated ones, you've got it exactly backwards.

    Half the nation? His approval rating hasn't been above 40% since he was elected.

    More on topic, my asshole congressman, Rodney Davis, voted "no" on the bill to stop Trump. The bastard has been voting against our own state since he was first elected, but the idiots here in my district re-elected him last year. Six more years of the anti-Illinois Illinois congresscritter.

      It seems you've been voting against your own interest. (probably dozens of votes -- hey, democrats in Chicago)

      Despite your failure to appreciate them, Rodney Davis and Donald Trump are fighting for you.

    Not the whole white house, just his political appointees.

    Not his base by any means.
