https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-issues-1st-vetoes-2nd-term-including-bipartisan/story?id=128801089President Donald Trump issued vetoes for the first bills of his second term, including a bipartisan bill intended to provide funding for a water infrastructure project in Colorado, a measure that passed the House and Senate unanimously. The Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act was set to provide clean water to rural parts of Colorado."Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies," Trump wrote in a veto letter sent to Congress. "Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the nation."Trump also vetoed the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendment Act, a bipartisan bill that aimed in part to optimize water flow into part of Everglades National Park designated for the Miccosukee Native American tribe and to incorporate the Osceola Camp into the Miccosukee Reserved Area to improve the governing structure of the tribe.
"[D]espite seeking funding and special treatment from the Federal Government, the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected," Trump wrote in his veto. "My Administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding projects for special interests, especially those that are unaligned with my Administration’s policy of removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the country."The Miccosukee tribe was part of the opposition to the construction of the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention facility in the Everglades.Trump’s veto of the bipartisan bill supporting the Colorado project comes at a time when he has fractious relations with some of the state's political leaders.The bill was co-sponsored by House Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who defied the Trump administration by signing onto the Epstein discharge petition that forced a vote on a measure to compel the DOJ to release the files. The pipeline would provide water to residents of Boebert's district."This isn't over," Boebert said on social media on Tuesday, responding to the White House's veto announcement.Democrats also are responding to the bill’s veto, with Colorado’s Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper lambasting Trump on social media, with both accusing him of playing partisan politics."Trump just vetoed my Arkansas Valley Conduit bill -- passed unanimously to deliver clean, affordable water to Southeast Colorado," Bennet said. "This isn’t governing. It’s a revenge tour.""Donald Trump is playing partisan games and punishing Colorado by making rural communities suffer without clean drinking water," Hickenlooper said, adding that Congress should overturn Trump’s veto.
Since the bill cleared both chambers unanimously, Congress could overturn Trump’s veto. Doing so would require passing the measure by a two-thirds vote in both chambers. Trump vetoed ten bills total during his first administration, only one of which -- the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 -- was overridden by Congress.Trump’s veto also comes two weeks after he attacked Colorado Gov. Jared Polis for refusing to release former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk Tina Peters from prison following her receiving a presidential pardon.Peters was convicted on state charges for a scheme to tamper with voting systems driven by false claims about the 2020 election. Trump’s pardon power does not extend to state crimes."The poorly run state of Colorado with a governor whose incompetent and frankly, with a governor that won't allow our wonderful Tina to come out of a jail, in a high intensity jail because she caught people cheating on an election and they said she was cheating," Trump said on Dec. 15.He added, "She wasn't cheating. She went over, she looked at one of the election scams going on. And because she did that, they put her in jail for nine years."
>>1470475> "Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the nation."So he’s going to cancel that stupid ballroom and the massive battleship?
>>1470475Notice how this article failed to mention this project has been in development since the 1960s?
>>1470478Lol no, but im sure this statement won't affect the tariff checks he promised to give everyone, that is, they still wont ever be sent out.
>>1470478Ouch.
>>1470475Cutting waste fraud and abuse. Best president we've had since Jefferson Davis.
>>1470475Trump knows everything about water and it’s usage in showers…
>>1470515>Cutting water programs that have been in development for decades>They don't need water anyway
>Fascist shills found a way to justify cutting off water from 50,000 people.
>>1470526Not the government's job. They can buy their own water.
>>1470526It's waste because they don't need it. They already have water.
>>1470534>>1470535>Uh, you want better water infrastructure? Well clearly you have water since you aren't dead. Nice try fraudster.
>>1470526They could just move. They are not owed your residence. They want to cheap out and live in a place without infastructure, then that is on them. They can boil and filter their own water.
>>1470526>In development for decadesSounds like they're wasting time and stealing money.
>>1470541Yeah they keep ignoring that part.
>>1470540What do you think taxes are meant for?
>>1470561Military. Law enforcement.
>>1470563yeah, that's the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted actually esl shill
Someone tell me about those two bills without partisan shit. If they unanimously passed, it means they were full of pork and corruption. I just want to know what kind. I imagine this bill gives Nestle control over the entire Colorado water supply for the next one hundred years
>>1470563You're so fucking stupid...YOUR MONEY IS SUPPOSED TO GO BACK INTO HELPING YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY FUCK WIT, NOT YOUR NAZI DADDY'S USELESS ASS PIGS. YOU ARE IN A CULT
>>1470566>OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T USE TAXES TO PAY FOR THE MILITARY EVEN THOUGH THAT'S BEEN A THING SINCE THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>1470568esl shill, all your retardation aside, why are you pretending this administration is for the troops when they're slashing VA benefits
>>1470570>when they're slashing VA benefitsSuch as?
>>1470568Yeah, you can, it's also not the ONLY thing it's meant to go to, fucking morons like you only think of guns, raping kids, and interracial trans porn, so I shouldn't expect you to know any different, but god damn I'm embaressed to share the same fucking species as you.
>>1470572And fucking morons like you still can't explain why Colorado still needs federal funds to throw at a project for drinking water - a resource they already have plenty of - that's been in the works since 1962. Instead of answering that you sperg out and screech about muh taxes being used for other things besides military. It must really upset you that we're finding so many examples of fraud, waste and abuse from democrats.
>>1470574it's truly grotesque the way you suck orange billionaire cock, esl shill
>>1470575>Canadian jeet upset the state can't waste billions laundering tax payer money for another fake feel good project
>>1470582we all know you had no idea this project even existed until today shill anon
>>1470574>I don't understand the concept of good water infrastructure
>>1470592Post the bill and lets see how retarded it is together
>>1470592Good water infrastructure that takes 70 years to build? In a state known for having water? Well golly gee, tell me more about this!
>>1470602you gotta tell us what country you're shilling from so we can translate the engineering terms into your language
>>1470601>>1470602>https://secwcd.org/content/arkansas-valley-conduitYeah retard, it didn't take 70 years because they kept dumping money into it; it took 70 years because even though it was approved in the 60s, they didn't HAVE enough money for it until recently. And the whole time they've had to rely on groundwater instead of the water pipelines most of the fucking country uses.
>>1470478I don’t know what else needs to be said. Motherfucker’s blowing all this money on vanity projects but cuts funds to public works projects because it’s a waste of money? Yeah, why should our tax dollars get spent on us when it could be going into his stupid fucking ballroom?
>>1470609>Yeah, why should our tax dollars get spent on us when it could be going into his stupid fucking ballroom?First smart thing you've said, lib
>>1470609>usYou are not an American and you are not white
>>1470615monkey see monkey do eh esl shill
>>1470570>Such asI'm sorry, I never got an answer to this question several hours later. Let me try asking again:SUCH AS???? WHAT VA BENEFITS ARE BEING SLASHED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION?????>in before my source is that I made it the fuck up
>>1470667Sorry, that was a typo. I meant TA benefits. Trans Activist benefits were slashed when dRumpf kneecapped USAID.
>>1470669All due respect, I wasn't asking you. If you're going to pretend to be that faggot then you need to stop using punctuation, capitalization, and you need to start off every post with "esl shill". Not to mention it makes no sense in the context of being "for the troops", so...
>>1470671>esl shill being this triggeredlmao
>>1470563So you believe that the government's sole role is to put a boot on your neck? And you're fine with that?
>>1470675>socialist neonazi is imploding again
>>1470676No, he wants the boot on the neck of his enemies. >Rules that protects, but do not bind my group.>Rules that bind, but do not protect everyone else.In other words, rules for thee but not for me. The thing is, none of us are in the in group, unless you're a billionaire. It's abundantly clear with the Epstein fiasco and how scamming millions for billions just gets you a slap on the risk and a pardon vs a peasant defrauding the nouveau aristocracy for pocket change. Just like the boot would be on all of our necks.
>>1470684I think a lot of people on here understand that, but they'd be willing to take Bezos's boot up their ass if they got to watch everyone else get it a little bit worse.
>>1470685NTA, and you're right.Democrats want a society where you can be charged with murder because you used lethal force to defend yourself from an angry mob. If you gave me a viable alternative to gay race communism, I would gladly take it. But the technocratic dystopia Musk and Peter Thiel are setting up is unironically the least worst option at this point. If Trump doesn't go through with what he promised, I'm willing to vote for someone even more radical. Fuck it, I don't care anymore. I'm tired.
>>1470685>they'd be willing to take Bezos's boot up their ass ifpeople don't even need an incentive like thatAmazon company town charging 70% average rent and offering free Prime would suck people in and generate free slaves
>>1470677Kek. Neonazi socialists imploding all day every day. That's essentially all /news/ is.
>>1470686This. World's been on the downturn since 1945. Just build bunkers and nuke everything to the stoneage and start over. That is the only way.
>>1470689We could just eject all of the Jews from our countries and declare war on them
>>1470672Let me know when you figure out which VA benefits Trump cut. Protip: none.
>>1470675>Waaaaah I don't like this guy! Kill him!Typical democrat response.
>>1470693i'm not a fan of john wilkes boothe either
>>1470675Leftists, being anto-2a, cannot shoot for shit.>Muh whatabout KirkLuck shot.
>>1470697Makes me wonder how they ever won the Civil War and WW2.
>>1470708>muh WW2 soldiers were antifa argumentNotice how segregation is still pretty big with them? Really makes you think.
>>1470709Most of them probably supported Hittler. The reason why FDR was dictator for so long was because he rigged the elections. It's taken way too long for society to heal from the socialist poison he injected into the veins, but we are finally seeing the nanny state taken out back and drowned in a tub.
Good god you people are ridiculous. Are any of you even real?
>>1470708I thought Abraham Lincoln founded the Republican Party. Didn't he win the civil war?I think it was Andrew Jackson who founded the Democratic Party and and he went to war with Mexico and won that war.
>>1470711You think I'm ridiculous? You freaks forced me into thinking like this. If it wasn't for your insane california shit being shoved down our throats we would all not give a shit. I got to see first hand how fucked up you leftists are. My spawners were leftist. Since I found /pol/ and religion in 2018, I haven't talked to them.
>>1470713Yeah, I do. And I think it's sad and pathetic that you don't even realize how ridiculous you sound.
>>1470713Forced you to be a bigot idiot who believes fantasy stories from 2000 years ago? Because they dared to try to take care of the poor and homeless and be accepting of others?You might want to take an other look at that “religion” you found because you are not living a Christian life you are living a hatemonger life and Jesus would punch you in the fucking face for that bigot shit you spewing.
>>1470570Good morning. Did you figure out which "VA benefits" were 'slashed' by "this administration" yet? I'd really love to see this.
>>1470561Israel>>1470568I know, Israel.Everyone should wake up every morning asking themselves, "How does me having clean water and electricity help the state of Israel today?">>1470733The VA benefits cut were the ones that didn't help the state of Israel.>>1470732The only real story from 2000 years ago is the Torah.
>>1470565The water bill is short and sweet and does what it says on the tin. I’m not going to look over the other one but it was pretty much a bill stating that a certain tribe in Florida had jurisdiction over part of the Everglades that had traditionally been their land. Neither was very political and had zero pork attached. He was just doing it to be a dick.https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/131/text
>>1470736>Sponser: Rep. Boebert, Lauren [R-CO-4] (Introduced 01/03/2025)The fact trump is again fucking over his most brainwashed supporter is all you need to know.
>>1470735Isn't it a bit reductionist to blame every problem on the Jews and Israel?
>>1470741This kind of open political retaliation is legit gonna get him kicked out. He literally just demands complete and utter subservience; the party has to answer to his whims and eventually we'll hit a point where those the ones that remain after the inevitable blue wave in midterms would rather stand by and let dems impeach him than basically be unable to do anything for themselves without Trump trying to fuck them over.
Is he even real now? Properly getting NPC and dead status by some triggered snowflakes on twitter.
>>1470478ballroom's privately funded innit? 100% donations?
>>1470713>you think I’m ridiculous? I don’t talk to my “spawners” (which sane people refer to as parents) because I now religiously believe the shit I read on the biggest troll board on the internet Beyond parody. I hope for your sake that was some kind of joke and you aren’t actually that much of a subhuman mongoloid shitstain
