Well they have had lax guidelines there going back to the summer which is why they all got sick.
 
This is gonna be fun.

The Senate passed a mammoth defense policy bill on Friday, setting up a veto showdown with President Trump.

Senators overwhelmingly supported the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in an 84-13 vote, approving it with more than the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override a potential veto from President Trump, who opposes the legislation on two points.

The bill already passed the House this week in a 355-78 vote, meaning it now goes to Trump, where he’ll have to decide if he is going to follow through with his veto threat despite bipartisan opposition.

Top Republicans touted the bill ahead of Friday, underscoring the division between the president and congressional Republican leaders.

“It does not contain every policy that either side would like to pass, but a huge number of crucial policies are included and a lot of bad ideas were kept out. So I would encourage all our colleagues to vote to advance this must-pass bill,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

Trump has homed in on two issues. One is his months-long fight over a plan, included in the final version of the bill, that would require Confederate bases and military installations to be renamed within three years. Though senators had hoped that he had backed down from that fight, Trump shouted out the provision in a tweet this week.

More recently he’s hammered the bill over not including a repeal of Section 230, which provides a legal shield to tech companies and has emerged as a prime punching bag for the president and his allies. The bill also rebuffs Trump’s efforts to draw down troops in Germany and Afghanistan.

Though the bill passed both chambers this week with enough votes to override a veto, there could be a shuffling on an override vote with some GOP lawmakers flipping to stick with Trump and some Democrats who opposed the bill supporting an override.

Republicans say there have been efforts to talk Trump down from his veto threat, which could imperil a bill that typically passes with overwhelming bipartisan support and has been signed into law for 59 years in a row.

This should be a good litmus test for the Dump vs R allegiances... Anyone with a brain will stand their ground and vote to pass this bill. Anyone that is hitching their wagon to Dump will waiver.

I still hold out hope that many R's will see the writing on the wall and try and eject Dump for the sheer fact that he is showing he's willing to burn the party down out of delusional spite. Any life long politician knows how good life in the swamp can be and won't want to stop that gravy train.

The grand jury investigation appears to be focused on possible bank and insurance fraud as @realDonaldTrump
sought loans and other services. Because this is not a federal investigation, Trump is powerless to stop it or to grant pardons to protect himself or his family.

The dumb kids in high school didn't disappear just because we left them behind after graduation. They went into menial labor like business or engineering, found equally dumb spouses, and had equally dumb children. And they vote. Republican.
