President Trump called on the Senate to uphold his veto of the National Defense Authorization Act while lashing out on Twitter at "weak" Republicans. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging the Senate to vote to override Trump's veto. CNN's Boris Sanchez and Lauren Fox report.

McConnell is acting like it’s his money
The money belongs to everyone who is a taxpayer.
@billycarson You do not know what you are talking about.
That’s because it is his money.Im sure he has to share with his co conspirators but he has to hang tough to keep that 700 billion headed to the drop off locations so everyone gets there cut as usual… Secret service is gonna have their hands full with this one. He doesnt recognize the human species or their significance in placing him in congress to serve the American people. This kind of behaviour can’t be overlooked by the remaining numbers of americans who still have the stomach to call em like they see em
@Big Blue Blanket everything I put out is facts I don’t watch none of the msm they are traitor’s CIA FBI all traitor’s
@First Name Last name So! The Politicians would have you believe that.
McConnell is comfortably doing just fine he couldn’t care less about the rest.
@Anony grazer scientific statements aren’t jingoism champ. The Earth is not flat. There’s no Q.
Aliens do not exist.
There’s no god.
Trump lost.
Reality.
It is what it is.
Who put all that dumb stuff in the bill helping other countries & illegal aliens before us citizens ?
@T D l don’t need luck pal, l’m not an imbecile. That’s your domain.
@Darryl Bloominton Zing!
Moscow MITCH” is so toxic and american ppl hates him,get him out of government business period!!!!
and yet, (if he chooses) he will be re-elected.
Isn’t it “Mandarin Mitch?”
I think we conservatives and liberals people from aisles can agree Mitch is bs
McConnell is acting like he’s going to put the money out of his pocket
Anony grazer Agreed! Both sides have screwed us for decades. We have allowed it. Divide and Conquer works great for those who are interested in keeping their power.
@Ben Gordon because it didn’t happen. The money going overseas happens every year. What went in the bill satisfied both what the Dems and the GOP wanted, hence why the bill had a clear path through both the House and the Senate. If the GOP wanted to block it, they could have in the same way Mitch is blocking this increase in stimulus money.
What you’re doing is merely trying to pass the blame because you STILL can’t come to terms with the reality that the party you so vehemently support has been screwing you over for decades. Luckily, I think most Americans, despite political affiliation, see what is really going on now.
The more he lets the people have back is less the swamp gets to steal.
So if Mitch McConnell is the one to decide whether or not the Senate will vote. That means his vote is the only one that matters. If it’s good for Mitch he’ll let you vote on it. If it’s bad for him you don’t get a vote. That sounds real fair to me????
Exactly
Has anyone else noticed that it’s almost like we’re not involve in this at all. It’s like this is a fight amongst themselves and we just get the scraps?
it has always been like that. we are just a number for them how, old are you bruh?
Welcome to politics? Yeah, i’m beyond left vs right.
I commend the democrats for fighting hard for $2000 of our money , if they had rolled over we wouldn’t be getting anything
arthurneddysmith We pay their salaries. They work for us. We are their employers! It’s our money! We own their asses. It’s time we started letting them know that.
It’s not a spectacle, its not crazy. It’s straight up treasonous.
@Bryce Hickman yet he has never broken a law, it’s just crazy.
@Bryce Hickman I was talking about Mitch
Exactly
TREASONOUS POLITICIANS
@Ethan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKDXVo-OKeQ&t=293s
I agree Mitch McConnell is old and needs to resign.
..” Howdy folks, this is Louie Gohmert and no teeth were lost in casting my lawsuit..”
Fire Them.
FIRE THEM ALL.
Remember Turkey neck was not even going to give us any money Sanders pushed for them 600
@Angel Hernandez you’re delusional if you think McConnell ever advocated for $2,000 checks
@John Smith trump could have said 2000 months ago when they were talking about it. But what did he do GOLF
@Eastwood Unforgiven he did say 2k in October for weeks !!
Bernie Sanders: The best President America never had.
TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS! McConnell should have been out years ago!
Plus age limits.
Or tell Kentucky to stop voting for him
@Redd BlaZe agreed!
@Redd BlaZe lmao everyone is an enemy if daddy’s says so huh ? Lol
You people are in the NFL
(No friends left)
@Justan American Seriously, the amount of politicians over 70 is crazy. A bunch of them are even over 80, it’s time for new leadership in this country.
All politician’s just playing around with the people life and bravo to Canada
What did we do here in Canada?
???
Canadians got 2000$ a month in aid for most of the pandemic. Yes, some people blew it on weed and porn, any system you make will have assholes abuse it, but the vast majority paid for rent and groceries. I’m amazed that no one in the US has busted out the guillotines yet.
Trump will always come out as a president who is in this for the people not himself like all this politicians who cares only for themselves not people.why deny Americans 2000 yet send billions to the world?
These aren’r “Stimulus” Cheques. They are survival cheques. Nobody is going on a trip to Disneyland with the 2 grand.
Family of 4 $8000, I definitely could plan a Disney vacation for that
And noone goes anywhere at all with $600…
@cparent2012 maybe food, diapers, wild and crazy things like that… get real.
@cparent2012 Yeah, but more people will also be spending it on rent, food, utilities. Is it in your nature to only see the negative in everything?
I’m not. Stop speaking for me.
There should ONLY EVER BE stand alone bills. That’s one big problem in D.C.
Just like bilateral trade deals. You got it!
I’m not sure you’ve thought this through. D.C. already gets very little done. You are basically prescribing more gridlock for a gridlocked system. You want to take away the primary means of compromising in a system whose greatest flaw in this moment is the inability to compromise.
The problem is Congress will never vote for anything that hits them in the pocketbook.
Himself and his corrupt colleagues rather funnel money’s into their pockets..helping Americans is not why they chose politics.
Playing parliamentary games while AMERICANS unneedingly suffer.
Republicans are heartless
@Potatoes McSweeny 🤣 all those Republicans are RICH they dont care if your struggling it’s not their problem 💁🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
You are right sir one thing I learned about humans is summed up in this people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care when these politicians want to go on vacation wallows people starve all they’re doing is showing you their true selves if I was in Congress I tell you this much I think God that I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror knowing that someone starved and I had to have a Christmas Vacation God bless you
Corrupt congress millionaires shame they all need to be replaced
https://youtu.be/IUWzI02b8OQ
Dragged out of office by the collars of their shirts and paraded around the streets giving well deserved answers
We should vote out all them
McConnell: “if we live in a capitalist society then politicians should be able to use their position to enrich themselves”
This is the longest “The Twilight Zone” episode ever!
They was never his party.
It’s a shame. They all need to be gone.
Thank you Bill
lol trump was right ONE time and republicans obstructed per usual
Yeah now it’s time for the Republican Party to redeem themselves.
Who wants to be a part of Trump’s party
McConnell makes over 160,000 a year. He doesn’t qualify for stimulus money.
So now he makes us suffer.
On paper he makes that. Behind the books he’s getting paid from other entities for him to pass bills on their behalf. Dude has to go.
