President just vetoes the bill that gives the 911 families


Posted: Sep 23, 2016

the right to sue Saudi Arabia. 

 

Nothing like waiting till the last minute....especially when Congress isn't working today.

He has said all along he would veto it - old and burned out

because it would open up the possibility of a multitude of persons suing the U.S., costing the government a fortune.

911 families - Oh, me!

Did you bother yourself to read his reasons for vetoing the bill? They seemed pretty good ones to me.

I also don's understand your comment about vetoing it today when Congress isn't working today. If Congress takes overriding the veto in 60 days, it would be a miracle. They certainly couldn't and wouldn't do anything about it today even if they were in session.

Anyway, there'd be no point in waiting since Congress doesn't seem to be working most days lately.

Yes. (This is from the Washington Post. The "through W's terms" are my words. His are below. Note the graph--that vertical axis is our debt as we try to maintain, not yet realizing that falling or stagnant wages are not just a temporary aberration.)  TRUE. President Obama: "By 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising but paychecks that didn’t; racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition; to put gas in th ...

My family has been struggaling financially for a long time.  My husband has worked hard at terrible jobs to keep a roof over our heads.  Part of it is our own choices and part just trying to find a good steady job.  I stay at home with the kids and am trying to get a work from home job as an MT to help out and still not send our kids to the babysitters.  I am not complaining because we are so blessed.  My husband just has an immense burden and I do not know how to help h ...

If You Want To Find Stable Two-parent Families, Bypass Palin Country And Go To Pelosi May 04, 2010
  If you want to find stable two-parent families, bypass Palin country and go to Pelosi territory. by Jonathan Rauch Saturday, May 1, 2010 Can it be? One of the oddest paradoxes of modern cultural politics may at last be resolved. The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of "San Francisco liberals." But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass S ...

Verizon BillFeb 25, 2011
Something made me actually read my monthly Verizon home phone bill, and I discovered that there's a $14.95 charge for "other providers."  Reading further, I discovered it's a charge from "Transaction Clearing."  Apparently it's legal for Verizon to include these charges on their monthly bills, so it's a legal scam.  There's a phone number for Transaction Clearing, and you shouldn't call Verizon about this. I'm almost afraid to look at my back bi ...

WA Gun Bill Includes Feb 19, 2013
Mistake in gun bill could defeat the effort One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake. Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around? As Orwellian as that sounds, it isn’t hypothetical. The notion of police home inspections was introduced in a bill last week in Olympia. That it’s pa ...
