Mod: That not so very jolly old elf couldn't care less if you live or if you perish.Americans 'steaming' with rage as Trump golfs and the GOP leaves the country to die (Raw Storylink): The White House released the president's schedule for Christmas Eve saying that he would be working "tirelessly for the American people." But what that has actually turned into is something else.
After vetoing the defense spending bill, which included a raise for military service members, and threatening to veto the
COVID-19 stimulus and 2021 budget,
Trump fled to
Florida to golf. For months, the
White House has negotiated the stimulus bill and
Trump's budget, but at the last minute, the president decided he wanted to throw it all out the window.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that she was willing to take
Trump's bill demands and pass them by noon on
Christmas Eve. The
Senate, however, is another story. It has been nine months of negotiation until
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) finally agreed to a bill. The
House passed a stimulus bill seven months ago, back in May 2020.
Instead of doing his part to help get a bill that satisfied him,
Trump flew to
Florida and went golfing.
It led many on Twitter to call the president out for destroying the lives of Americans who need any stimulus money, service members counting on their raise, and government workers who may end up unemployed during another shutdown.
'I WILL NEVER FORGET': Trump officially announces war against Republican Party (
Raw Storylink):
President Donald Trump spent
Christmas eve on the golf course and then turned to vengeance mode as he returned to
Mar-a-Lago.
Lashing out on
Twitter,
Trump officially announced his war against the
Republican Party. He has been furious that the
Republicans in the
Senate acknowledged that
President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
"I saved at least 8 Republican Senators, including Mitch, from losing in the last Rigged (for President) Election," tweeted Trump. "Now they (almost all) sit back and watch me fight against a crooked and vicious foe, the Radical Left Democrats. I will NEVER FORGET!"
Trump's promise will be a concern for
Republicans up for reelection in 2022. He's already announced that No. 2
Republican in the
Senate,
John Thune of
South Dakota, is first up on his list of people to primary. "I saved at least 8
Republican Senators, including
Mitch, from losing in the last
Rigged (for President)
Election."
Mod: Gotta question. Isn't it now in the interest of the Republican Party that Trump gets locked up?
