This tweet seems a lot worse than AOC’s but sure let’s denigrate her. This board is crazy.

I'm going off of memory so I could be wrong, but either chamber can initiate the veto vote (I don't think it's required, so if you know it's futile you may not attempt) and if it passes that chamber than the other one will vote. I don't think the Senate can say thanks no thanks if the House successfully overrides.

It is. And probably about ever third tweet @RealDon kicks out. These tweets routinely catch the board on fire. That's what make 'who cares' seem rather thin skinned. Everybody cares if it is Trump, Bannon, or most of the other moron squad (me as well) hit tweet.

To your point, this gaming for Jewish support is insane. It is provably false that there is any type of hate movement inside the Democratic party at large. Certainly Omar's stuff is bad, maybe it is clumsy or maybe it is ingrained, but minimally she needs to pause and consider what she is saying, and how she is saying it. She has been factually wrong with somethings, but glaringly she has chosen hateful rhetorical descriptions to make a point that undoes what I think she was trying to convey. Honestly, she has been really bad at clarifying too.

That said, it is disingenuous to paint the Democratic party as a party that hates Jews. There is garbage in the GOP that has openly verbalize hatred, including demonization and denigration of Jewish people, but I do not think that the GOP hates Jews writ large.

TL;DR - Trump tweeting ignorance has been normalize

I am curious about the process too. He seemed really smug after he inked his veto.

But jersey chooses to attack a female minority elected official.

Perhaps he’s not as different as he’d like to believe (or suggest).
