LOL!!  Congress has until Jan 3rd to vote on an override.  In that period Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day are all federal holidays.  Trump may decide to declare New Year's Eve a federal holiday, too.  That's 10 days commencing Christmas Eve -- if I remember what I read correctly, the time to override a veto excludes Sundays..  Take out 2 Sundays and 3 holidays, and that leaves 5 workdays for Congress before they adjourn on Jan 3rd (a Sunday).  Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, and Sat.  Congress will have to do all the administrative BS required to call a vote, force a quorum to show up, then get a super-majority to vote to override, and all of it between the biggest holidays of the year!   :rofl: :rofl:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Swamp Critters!!  This NDAA bill should have \never been back-burnered ... again.  They always create a crisis by delaying the bills, then rush them through so nobody can know what is in it -  just like they did the ACA.

Trump stuck the fork in them, and now he's slowly turning it.  Congress spent 4 years going after him.  I don't begrudge him a single ounce of what he's doing.  I think he's going easy on them myself, all things considered.

If they can vote for the stimulus in 2 days.  They can override Trump.  At this point he is just a lame duck trying to make it hard for everyone else.

I can't stand this commercial.....that I helped pay for. :grrr:

its funny because early on in India a lot of Bollywood actors believed that vibrations from clapping and bell ringing would kill the virus. People like Amitabh Bachchan tweeted himself clapping to help "break" the virus. He was quickly denounced for that and all the media quickly flipped the messaging to say that they were "celebrating" emergency workers with bell ringing and clapping.
With that commercial its nothing new. With every public building here in Honolulu there has to be about $300,000 of our tax money spent on arts. I read that somewhere.
Even during this "pandemic", artists and the like need to be somewhere on the front lines.  Be it at the front of the lines to get some of that free money.

I almost want to believe he vetoed the NDAA in part to deflect from his holding onto the stimulus/omnibus bill as well as mess up Congress' holidays.  If Congress is going to try and override the NDAA next week, they won't be thinking about the horror of a stimulus bill.  He'll be able to let that lapse, and if the Congress can't give him what he wants in the NDAA or muster enough votes to override the veto, he'll let that lapse, too. Once Congress adjourns on Jan 3rd, all bills are magically wiped. 

I'm thinking if Trump signed the NDAA, Biden would blame him for the bill being a disaster.  If he vetoes it, Biden blames him for the bill not getting done on time -- never mind the bill should have been finished by Congress and ready to sign by the President before the election.

So, Trump's telling Congress to fix both bills, or they get nothing -- and they'll like it!   :rofl:

everything is a possibility

if they could override trump, why didn't they do it rather than start negotiating again?

I see no proof of them going back to "re negotiate"

Still not wrong.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/23/politics/trump-ndaa-veto/index.html

With full membership in the House currently at 430, supporters of the bill will need 288 votes to override the President's veto. Thirty-seven Democrats voted against the bill when it came to the floor on December 8, though it's unclear at this point whether some might change their votes to try and overcome the veto.
If the veto stands in the House, there will be no vote needed in the Senate. But if it is overridden in the House, senators will return to Washington on Tuesday at noon to begin processing the override vote.
The Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve the massive funding bill with a veto-proof majority of 84 to 13, a major rebuke to the President.
