ahh classic. kill any bipartisan bill to promote voter suppression.
what else did we expect.
Child throwing hissy fit.
Just take the fucking win Donnie. This administration is an absolute shit show
Trump: „This bill reduces suffering. So, I hate it! Suppress American Voters Everywhere!“
I really hope the DNC isn’t so brain dead that this isn’t immediately turned into campaign ads.
Fucking narcissistic man-child.
Its a law in 10 days whether he signs it or not.
It would be funny for him to to be attached to it though.
**edit**
So this blew up for a two line comment. A little more context since this is rising. There is a tactic known as [Pocket Veto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto) which is a tactic that can be used tied in with congress being out of session. There seems to be a lot of takes on when congress is in and out of session. [According to the House’s own calendar](https://www.house.gov/legislative-activity) they are in session up to and including the 2nd of July. There is then a week of District work, then they return to session on the 13th.
What does Mike Johnson, Republican Speaker of the House, say about this?
>“He has a window of time before he has to sign a bill, and he’s going to use a little bit more of that window of time, and we’re going to go through this together,” the speaker said at a House GOP leadership news conference, adding that it is his “estimation” that Trump will sign it within the 10-day window the Constitution sets for the president to sign bills before they automatically become law.
What about Senate Majority Leader John Thune?
>Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., laughed when reporters asked him about Trump canceling the signing. “I just heard that. … I guess I would say at this point I don’t have any observations about that,” he said.
I’m amazed at the cash grab that is the real ID. It’s a nightmare to get, but once you are in the tsa line you throw them 45$ and you magically good to go for 10 days. It’s a scam.
Funny, this wasn’t going to do ***that much***, but it’s a policy that sounds good in headlines and would have been a good win to help with midterms for him. And he can’t help but shit in his own soup 🤣
ah yes, the voting id and housing goes hand in hand.
We all knew this was going to happen.
MAGA in a nutshell:
If it helps poor people, refuse to sign.
If it doesn’t help Israel, refuse to sign.
Then when MAGA goes on TV, they love to say how Democrats hurt the poor people and they believe it because they refuse to go look at their voting record and see they vote all the time to hurt poor people.
Orange Julius Jesus is not capable of bipartisanship, he would much rather destroy our democracy then even show a sign of making it work.
It’s must’ve been so wild being an adult in the before times. Seeing something like this and being like „Sure, the housing bill was kind of toothless but we actually got something through and this guy is trying to end it because he’s having a hissy fit? There is no way his supporters will stick with him, he’s done.“
I’m not so hopeful
I said yesterday that he would veto the bill if there was no way for him to benefit from it personally. I said it was to take money from the government, but still. I got downvoted for saying that.
Seriously, fuck this guy.
This guy only knows threaten and withhold. It’s all stick and no carrot, which is why he never gets anything done.
Petulant child…
Trump is so focused on trying to steal the election, he’s going to give it away. It’s a pretty easy attack ad to go “we passed a bill to lower your housing costs. Republicans vetoed it anyway.” At this point, we’re too divided politically for people switching parties to be a meaningful slice of the pie in a single election, but turn out matters.
The conservative voters are less likely to come out of Trump is holding up a bill that will help them so he can demand voter ID. Yes, those voters want voter ID, but they don’t have resolve. GOP support for the iran war disappeared as soon as gas spiked. There is no chance that they’re willing to pay more for housing due to vague voter fraud allegations.
Meanwhile, liberal voters are going to be upset that Trump is holding up something positive so he can exert more control over elections, and they’ll be more likely to turn out to avoid a legislature that has completely capitulated to Trump.
He needs to be kicked out of his government provided housing.
He literally can’t do anything right
So now every bill he will refuse to sign unless it has an unrelated provision that will allow the GOP to cheat via voter suppression because they all know that they can’t win on policy or for looking out for the people they represent.
Democrats should become full on obstructionists until the full unredacted Epstein files are released. Show him how the game is played. If he refuses to play ball then start leaking all his pedogarch friends names.
Hilarious, this is the only bill that’s had bipartisan margins big enough to override his veto if they wanted. That would be a great look Don! You should try it!
Sounds like he’s very mad he’s not allowed to steal elections legally.
Trump cancelling the signing of a very popular bipartisan housing bill that could have saved some GOP for midterms is *hilarious.*
Loool the ONE piece of legislation Congress passes that deals directly with affordability and Trump sidelines it. It’s like he wants them to lose every seat in the midterms.
Idiot!
To be clear—the SAVE Act will require every person who has changed their names to document all name changes and provide paperwork.
That includes all married women who changed their names.
All this paperwork takes time to assemble from state vital records and so on, and the plan seems to be to enact it when that time is too short.
That’s so they can steal midterms.
It’s targeted at trans folk with collateral damage of women (and anyone else).
So both parties came together and agreed on something to try and finally improve Americans lives, and Trump shut it down.
The President is a foreign asset. Thanks MAGA!
He is such a piece of shit
Procedurally, a few things can happen:
1) *Standard Veto and possible veto override*: Trump vetos and sends it back. 2/3 of each chamber votes to override the veto. Bill becomes law.
2) *Automatic law without signature*: Trump lets his hissy fit last for 10 days (excluding Sundays) and Congress does not adjourn, at which point the bill automatically becomes law with signature.
3) Pocket Veto: Trump’s hissy fit lasts 10 days and Congress (likely the House) adjourns during this same period of time. Because the bill cannot be returned to the originating chamber with objections, the bill can be “pocketed” and dies. Congress cannot override a pocket veto, so the bill would have to be reintroduced and go through the legislative process again.
With Johnson as Speaker, the potential for option 3 exists…because of course he would do that, being the lickspittle that he is.
What an absolute blunder. He could have signed this bill in, then brag about it for the rest of his term on something that is universally regarded as a good thing. Instead he shot himself in the foot killing a major win for him because the voter ID is a total non starter for democrats.
Friendly reminder. It becomes law in 10 days even if he refuses to sign.
Seriously, WTF.
MAGA, good job with supporting someone who is this idiotic.
Quick! To the Deflecting Pool!
It’s funny going to the conservative sub and looking at the thread where it was passed. They all seemed very happy something bi-partisan got done only to see trump say he was going to tank it.
That voting bill ain’t ever gonna pass and people will only continue to hate him more and more as his incompetence and maliciousness continues to do damage to the nation.
If he doesn’t officially veto it, it’ll be law within 10 days not including Sundays. Congress shouldn’t be adjourning anytime soon and the pocket veto has basically been nullified — so this is just putting a ten day delay on something for no reason.
Prick.
They need to stop calling it a „Voter ID“ law. It isn’t „Voter ID“. It’s much more suppressive than that. Even if you have legal ID, like a state-issued driver’s license, you still wouldn’t be allowed to vote. You’d need a passport. And if your legal name differs from your birth name (e.g. you got married and took your spouse’s surname), you’d need to bring your birth certificate AND the documentation of your name being legally changed. Roughly half the voting population wouldn’t currently be allowed to vote. In order to get the needed documentation to be able to vote would take hundreds to thousands of dollars in fees and weeks of processing time.
That’s not „Voter ID“, that’s „Voter Suppression“.
I just want to remind everyone that republicans want everyone to show ID to vote, but they do not want to implement a national ID card.
If the US would do what most other countries do and issue every citizen a national ID, this issue would be solved forever.
He is 100% dedicated to absolutely nothing positive, and I mean NOTHING positive coming out of his second term lmao
Fucking croak you old sack of shit.
Democrats should call their bluff and offer up a clean election reform bill that ensures all us citizens get a voter id free of charge, requires employers to give employees time to vote and makes election day a federal holiday.
