Trump just came off a big weekend with the Venezuela snatching of Maduro. MAGA and the Republican hierarchy are basking in a perceived accomplishment. While momentous for the American oil industry, time will weight the real results for everyone else, including the Venezuelans.
Meanwhile, last week Trump had vetoed a Colorado clean water bill for political reasons. Trump claimed people are leaving Colorado anyway, because one politician is bad and another is scum. Only in Trump's mind is that relevant to a veto. The bill had passed both houses of Congress unanimously.
When the Venezuelan chest beating subsides, and the slur against congressional leaks is considered along with the Colorado veto, we'll see what Congress is made of. If there was ever a veto which demanded an override, it is the Colorado Clean Water Act. With Republican incumbents facing the midterms, and the veto so egregious, I think that the Republicans will have to finally assert themselves.

ReplyDeleteMy wife & I moved from Allentown out here to Colorado just as Mayor Pawlowski was about to go to jail. I am merely a spectator to the machinations of Trump’s mean spirited retributions towards this state. That whole thing with “the takeover in Aurora” (a nearby community to where we live) by Tren de Aragua was so overblown it was almost laughable in its newsworthiness - akin to the story about eating cats & dogs!
ReplyDeleteNow, with Trump trying to get poor Tina Peters out of Colorado custody and his never ending distaste for our mail-in voting practices, we have to tolerate his campaign (and public expense) of relocating - or closing - agencies here.
I will now grab some popcorn and watch how Boebert will tap dance with her constituents now that Trump’s actions/veto will adversely affect them in their desire to obtain some clean water.
Look, it's in ANY president's purview to veto ANY bill that they want, regardless of how many votes it passed by. They might have an objection for many different reasons, which some may or may not consider irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, it's in Congress' purview to override any veto, should they choose to. Or they could take another look at things and try to address the underlying concerns that led to the veto, and then pass the underlying action in different legislation.
Our Constitutional system is working as it was designed. Only anti-Trump partisans like yourself seem to fail to understand this, and have a problem with it.
anon@9:31: When Trump announced the veto, he mentioned the slurs in the blog post, not one word about the merits of the bill. Only partisan Republicans like you can defend him.
ReplyDeleteIt’s funny that you can write about something that doesn’t even affect PENNSYLVANIA, and can’t find ANYTHING to write about Allentown.
DeleteI tend to think that’s another sign of the how severe your TDS has gotten.
Since I know you’ll dispute that, maybe you just need to rename this site Molovinsky on Colorado. There are likely Truth in Advertising laws that are being violated by continuing to operate under MOA.
I remember reading elsewhere that certain bloggers received quiet payments from NGOs to publish negative Trump/MAGA stories.
Deleteanon@1:06: How could anybody think that Trump isn't the best thing ever without being paid off?
DeleteMike allentowns water is about as bad as flint Michigan's and here you are writing about a clean water act in clolorodo, have you became a latinx with tureky?
Deleteanon@6:17: Allentown sold its water plant to LCA over a decade ago. I was one of the opponents to that decision. If there is an issue in Allentown, or an issue with Tuerk that needs amplification, I'll write about it.
Deleteanon@11:36: Why not just consider the blog Molovinsky FROM Allentown. That's the good news for you, the bad being that I'm not alone with my sentiments about this administration. Worse for you, I'm not alone in my belief that Congress is mousy.
