bipartisanreport--2020-07-21--‘The Lincoln Project’ Uses Seinfeld Music To Troll Trump In New Video

In 1977 , Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wrote a song called “ Pigs ( Three Different Ones ) ” which he ’ s used live under the presidency of Donald Trump to protest his election .
The song talks about a rich , greedy man and says “ you ’ re nearly a laugh , but you ’ re really a cry.
” A better summary of Trump as president was never written , even if it was written 43 years ago .
There ’ s nothing funny about Trump ’ s presidency – his missteps , his blustering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – but sometimes you have to laugh at him to keep from crying .
The Lincoln Project , in their new ad , pokes fun at Trump ’ s recent Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace but putting a laugh track over the president ’ s most ridiculous lies .
There were many , many lies , just as there are every time Trump speaks or tweets .
He is losing in the polls to Joe Biden at this point in the race .
The United States does not have the lowest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other countries .
Joe Biden does not want to defund the police .
The lies become so absurd that one can not help but laugh at him .
Of course , this same ad could be made from many of Trump ’ s other ridiculous statements .
Someone should have put a laugh track over Trump ’ s claim that windmills cause cancer , and that doctors injecting patients with disinfectant might kill the coronavirus , and that people have called him “ a stable genius.
” All of them are hilariously idiotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the current president of the United States .
And that is really a cry .
Twitter was loving the Seinfeld reference and the spot-on depiction of Trump ’ s interview .

There’s nothing funny about Trump’s presidency – his missteps, his blustering, his ignorance, or his divisiveness – but sometimes you have to laugh at him to keep from crying. The Lincoln Project, in their new ad, pokes fun at Trump’s recent Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace but putting a laugh track over the president’s most ridiculous lies.
There were many, many lies, just as there are every time Trump speaks or tweets. He is losing in the polls to Joe Biden at this point in the race. The United States does not have the lowest death rate from coronavirus compared to all other countries. Joe Biden does not want to defund the police. The lies become so absurd that one cannot help but laugh at him.
Of course, this same ad could be made from many of Trump’s other ridiculous statements. Someone should have put a laugh track over Trump’s claim that windmills cause cancer, and that doctors injecting patients with disinfectant might kill the coronavirus, and that people have called him “a stable genius.” All of them are hilariously idiotic, but they’re also coming from the current president of the United States. And that is really a cry.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump has refused to take the situation seriously to the point that it took him until this week to even post on Twitter that Americans should wear face masks, which help thwart the spread of the virus. Previously, he’d spent months insisting that masks were a matter of personal choice, which was in complete ignorance of the basic science underlying their usage. At a Tuesday press conference, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed that Trump has been “consistent” on masks throughout the pandemic, which is just laughably untrue. CNN’s Jim Acosta promptly trolled McEnany on Twitter over the lie.
In response to a video of McEnany claiming that Trump has been consistent on masks, Acosta tweeted:
‘Fact check: False.’
Acosta is, of course, correct. When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidelines earlier this year stating that all Americans should wear masks, Trump said:
‘I don’t think I’m going to be doing it. Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens — I just don’t see it.’
At another point, he delusionally suggested that mask-wearing was a sign of political disapproval of his administration.
Although he’s conducted a slew of public events throughout recent weeks, Trump only appeared in public with a mask for the very first time just recently. He wore one when visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center. Previously, the only occasion on which he’d been known to have worn a mask was during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan. At the time, he only wore one during the behind-the-scenes portion of the tour, and when asked why he took it off, he specifically said that he didn’t want to let journalists see him with one, as if it’s all some kind of game to him. It’s definitely not — people’s lives are at stake.

Donald Trump has a greed-trifecta when it comes to how he lives .
The three-headed monster who rules the president of these United States has : winning , money , and power .
All too often , these three heads get their necks all tangled .
No financial gain is too small for POTUS .
He paid for his son ’ s Boy Scout registration fees out of the now-defunct Trump Family Foundation , a profitable nonprofit .
Since the president was shut him down , no one in his family can ever own a nonprofit again .
It probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sees the White House as one giant piggy bank , but how much has he taken out of it ?
Certainly , the commander-in-chief has been too tight to contribute one thin dime to his reelection campaign .
Instead , his donors , many on low fixed incomes , are picking up the ticket .
He tossed expenses like food , lodging , and rent right onto the campaign budget .
Like magic , the president transformed $ 2.2 million worth of campaign funds into $ 2.2 of income for himself .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Trump companies for legal consulting , IT expenses , airfare , even office supplies , ” according to Forbes .

Back in 2017 , the resort was doing poorly , with its revenues plummeting from $ 88 million to $ 75 million .
That resulted in profits moving from $ 12.4 million to a mere $ 4.3 million .

As a result , Doral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The RNC infused $ 510,000 in January of 2019 .
Then , the COVID-19 pandemic hit the president right in his resort business .

Trump ’ s reelection campaign spent $ 38,000 each month for renting an office inside of the Trump Tower , where the president had his home and his business offices .
Since then , the Trumps have moved to Mar-a-Lago in Florida but still maintain their penthouse in New York City .
The campaign remained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three years to the commander-in-chief ’ s business .

His campaign , the RNC , and joint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 900,000 .

On Sunday, Donald Trump sat for an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, where he said that he has a good relationship with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world’s preeminent virologist and member of the COVID-19 task force, but that’s he’s “little bit of an alarmist.”
Of course, in that same interview, Trump said his predictions about the coronavirus disappearing like magic will come true “eventually,” that the U.S. has the world’s lowest death rate (it doesn’t), and that his administration has done a great job handling the virus although more than 140,000 Americans have died. None of those things are true, and the irony of a man who once warned of an invasion by migrant caravans calling anyone an “alarmist” is quite comical.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Fauci pushed back against that insult. He told the president who failed to act on this virus for more than 30 days, who wants to slow testing down before the 2020 election so badly he swears not to sign a stimulus bill unless fundings for testing is included, and has repeatedly said the virus would “disappear, like magic” that he’s not an alarmist. He’s simply a realist. Not to mention, he’s a doctor who doesn’t speak based on political convenance.
According to NBC News:
‘Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday evening rejected President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of him of being “an alarmist,” saying he considered himself “a realist” but also “an optimist.” ‘Asked if Trump’s characterization was unfair, Fauci, in an interview on Instagram Live with Maria Shriver, said, “I believe so, but then again, others have different opinions.”’

Trump told Wallace on Sunday that, despite reports of tensions between his administration and Dr. Fauci, that they have a great relationship. Meanwhile, members of the Trump administration are providing information to reporters about opposition research they’ve done on the world’s most preeminent virologist because his accurate predictions have made the president look bad.
Trump told Wallace:

Trump also said in the same interview where he claimed that he and Fauci have a great relationship that Fauci has been wrong several times, because the man who told Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant has made no mistakes during this pandemic. Trump counts on his supporters’ beliefs in conspiracy theories and their rejection of science to push this narrative, never admitting that science is a fluid, not fixed, field of study that changes and adjusts with new data.

He has now strongly advocated for people to wear some type of face coverage, and last week urged governors and mayors to “be as forceful as possible” to get people to wear face coverings.’
The hard truth is that it didn’t have to be this bad, but Donald Trump ignored the experts and refused to take action. He has failed our nation. pic.twitter.com/WAhigUtsxz — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 19, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-07-21--Kayleigh McEnany Says Dumb Things During Tuesday Press Conference

The Trump administration continues to put American lives at risk in service of their pathetic political spectacles .
The Coronavirus has claimed the lives of over 144,000 Americans , according to one prominent tally , but what was White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany concerned about at a press conference this Tuesday ?
Television ratings !
McEnany ’ s press conference came hours before the White House Coronavirus task force held its first press conference in awhile , and when asked whether or not the president was the “ right person ” to share information about the pandemic , McEnany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ television ratings of the president ’ s past press conference appearances , as if they automatically suggest some kind of effectiveness .
They don ’ t .
If everyone in the country was watching , that doesn ’ t negate the president ’ s bumbling incompetence .
‘ Yesterday , the president said that when he was previously doing briefings , “ we had a lot of people watching , record numbers watching in the history of cable television , ” and I was wondering if ratings are factoring into his decision to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the best person to get accurate information about the virus out to the public , given previous statements at briefings like the speculation that disinfectants inside the body could work as a treatment… and claims that the virus will just disappear.
’ ‘ The president is the right person to give information to the American people .
He was elected by the American people .
He ’ s been a leader on this .
The fact that we ’ ve outproduced on ventilators so much so that we have an extraordinary number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giving ventilators out to the rest of the world , that we lead the world in testing… the fact that he ’ s broken down bureaucracy to get a vaccine into phase three clinical trial… he ’ s the right person to give the information to the American people , and boy does he get the information to a lot of the American people during his briefings as noted by the ratings as he himself pointed out.
’ 144,000 Americans are dead , and McEnany seems most focused on trying to get as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record as possible .
Check out video of her comments below : McEnany also self-righteously pretended like she has any sort of standing whatsoever to speak authoritatively about what should be done to combat criminal violence around the country .
She suggested that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio “ seems to have not a hard criticizing police officers — but an awfully hard time controlling the streets of New York City ” — but what ’ s her plan , exactly ?
She apparently wants the city to submit to federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least submit to the possibility .
Her “ plan ” and that of the administration at-large consists of brazen authoritarianism .
American people are struggling — besides the health impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic , there have also been major economic impacts .
Tens of millions of people have filed for unemployment benefits , and a temporary boost in those benefits instituted because of the crisis will soon expire .
There could be , among other issues , a wave of evictions because people can ’ t pay their rent or mortgage payments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House doing ?
Just pointless political theatrics .

The Trump administration continues to put American lives at risk in service of their pathetic political spectacles. The Coronavirus has claimed the lives of over 144,000 Americans, according to one prominent tally, but what was White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany concerned about at a press conference this Tuesday? Television ratings! McEnany’s press conference came hours before the White House Coronavirus task force held its first press conference in awhile, and when asked whether or not the president was the “right person” to share information about the pandemic, McEnany replied by quickly pointing out the high television ratings of the president’s past press conference appearances, as if they automatically suggest some kind of effectiveness. They don’t. If everyone in the country was watching, that doesn’t negate the president’s bumbling incompetence.
A reporter asked:
‘Yesterday, the president said that when he was previously doing briefings, “we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching in the history of cable television,” and I was wondering if ratings are factoring into his decision to restart the briefing, and if he is the best person to get accurate information about the virus out to the public, given previous statements at briefings like the speculation that disinfectants inside the body could work as a treatment… and claims that the virus will just disappear.’
McEnany replied:
‘The president is the right person to give information to the American people. He was elected by the American people. He’s been a leader on this. The fact that we’ve outproduced on ventilators so much so that we have an extraordinary number in our stockpile and we’re giving ventilators out to the rest of the world, that we lead the world in testing… the fact that he’s broken down bureaucracy to get a vaccine into phase three clinical trial… he’s the right person to give the information to the American people, and boy does he get the information to a lot of the American people during his briefings as noted by the ratings as he himself pointed out.’
144,000 Americans are dead, and McEnany seems most focused on trying to get as much dictatorship-style praise for Trump on the record as possible.
Check out video of her comments below:

McEnany also self-righteously pretended like she has any sort of standing whatsoever to speak authoritatively about what should be done to combat criminal violence around the country. She suggested that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio “seems to have not a hard criticizing police officers — but an awfully hard time controlling the streets of New York City” — but what’s her plan, exactly? She apparently wants the city to submit to federal forces invading their streets, or at least submit to the possibility. Her “plan” and that of the administration at-large consists of brazen authoritarianism.

American people are struggling — besides the health impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, there have also been major economic impacts. Tens of millions of people have filed for unemployment benefits, and a temporary boost in those benefits instituted because of the crisis will soon expire. There could be, among other issues, a wave of evictions because people can’t pay their rent or mortgage payments. What’s the Trump White House doing? Just pointless political theatrics.

And just like his father, Donald Trump, Jr. is not above cheating the numbers to make himself look good.

Junior’s second book, Liberal Privilege, is all about how Democrats get away with everything and Republicans are held accountable for everything even though the Supreme Court has a majority in the Supreme Court, the GOP dominates the Senate, and there’s a pretend Republican in charge of the White House. Somehow, those evil liberals subvert all of that and unfairly punish Republicans by…not liking them.

These lies have serious consequences for the lives of millions of Americans — when he, as president, ignores the serious realities of the Coronavirus pandemic, people suffer.
As Mother Jones‘s David Corn put it, Mary says that “Fred Trump was a “straight-up sociopath” who psychologically destroyed his oldest son and her father, Freddy, who wanted to be a commercial pilot rather than take over the family real estate business, and Donald Trump was permanently warped by witnessing this abuse and by other dysfunction within the family.” Fred was the father of Donald and Fred Jr., otherwise known as Freddy.
Mary memorably commented:
‘My grandfather had no redeeming characteristics…and [Donald Trump] no longer does.’
In the interview, she made clear that she did not want to absolve Donald of the responsibility for his actions. She says that she wanted to explain, in a basic, factual way, some of the path that led Donald to the point of his present belligerence.

bipartisanreport--2020-07-22--Congress Outmaneuvers GOP With 233-183 Vote To Ban Trump Muslim Ban

Since before Donald Trump even took office as president , he has been clamoring to block Muslim travel to the United States .
Once in the White House , his team changed their description of the policy from one targeting Muslims specifically to one targeting people who happened to live in certain Muslim-majority countries , but the substance of the policy remained the same — no matter what excuses the president and his allies made , the net effect of their policy was that Muslims were blocked from freely traveling to the United States .

After a shooting in California in 2015 , he belligerently called for a “ total and complete shutdown ” of Muslim travel into the United States — and down the line , in 2018 , the conservative majority U.S. Supreme Court upheld what had been termed “ Muslim Ban 3.0.

Since before Donald Trump even took office as president, he has been clamoring to block Muslim travel to the United States. Once in the White House, his team changed their description of the policy from one targeting Muslims specifically to one targeting people who happened to live in certain Muslim-majority countries, but the substance of the policy remained the same — no matter what excuses the president and his allies made, the net effect of their policy was that Muslims were blocked from freely traveling to the United States. This week, the Democrat-led House passed legislation that would undo the travel ban and demand consultation with Congress before the imposition of any such ban in the future — although the measure seems unlikely to get brought up for a vote in the currently Republican-led Senate.
The Wednesday House vote on legislation overturning Trump’s Muslim ban was along party lines, with 233 in favor and 183 against. Besides the demand for Congressional consultation before the imposition of any future restrictions on travel, any travel restrictions that a president’s team imposed without consulting Congress would be automatically voided and anyone negatively impacted by the restrictions would have the freedom to bring a court case over the issue.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) called the legislation “critical legislation that will stop executive overreach, defend Congress’ role in establishing our nation’s immigration laws, and right one of the original sins of the Trump administration — the Muslim ban,” adding:
‘When the Trump administration issued its first version of the ban in January 2017, it was immediately apparent it was unconstitutional, discriminatory and morally reprehensible. Its chaotic rollout undermined the cruelty of this policy.’
Although the Trump administration tried to pretend as though the ban was some kind of national security measure, the president had personally made clear his intention to target Muslims specifically on the basis of their religious and ethnic identities. After a shooting in California in 2015, he belligerently called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslim travel into the United States — and down the line, in 2018, the conservative majority U.S. Supreme Court upheld what had been termed “Muslim Ban 3.0.”
More recently, Congressional Republicans have seemingly taken the bait of the Trump administration’s flimsy excuses for their Muslim ban. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) complained:
‘We are spending our time with this bill that would limit it and make it more difficult for the president of the United States – any president, just because some people don’t like this president it, they are going to make it harder for any president – to keep Americans safe, whether it’s from terrorists abroad or whether it’s for health pandemics that might break out again in the future. This is lunacy.’
Scalise implies that the Muslim ban is meant to keep Americans safe from terrorists. It’s not. It’s a piece of brazen religious discrimination masquerading under the guise of national security — Trump has personally made his intention clear to target Muslims specifically.
The ban doesn’t even include Saudi Arabia, where actual terrorists who’ve previously targeted the United States (on 9/11) were from.

Kellyanne Conway has a top Republican job. She sits at the knee of Donald Trump as his White House Counsel while juggling four kids and her virulently anti-Trump attorney husband. That means she is not a woman who can be easily pinned to the mat when she appears as the president’s talking head, but one journalist did just.
The White House Counsel to the President was in the middle of training down praise upon the Donald when she was hit by a thunderbolt of silence, during a Martha MacCallum. interview on Fox News Wednesday morning.
Kellyanne was bragging about the president’s “new tone” during his first coronavirus task force briefing in months. We remember that in his last briefing, Trump seriously recommended injecting people’s lungs with household disinfectants and inserting lighting into people’s bodies — well, let him speak for himself. He said, according to The Statesman:

And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too.

POTUS continued:

‘[A]ll those people out there who are resisting wearing a mask [and you say] you’ll get your liberties back sooner if you wear your mask.’
Then, Kellyanne went into warp speed:
‘I think it was incredibly important for the president of the United States to provide information to the public, not confrontation with some press people there who were asking questions that had nothing to do with the development of vaccines and therapeutics.’
She continued on around the bend without braking, introducing the question about the supposed sex trafficker for Trump’s friend Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell was a sex trafficker who solicited and groomed girls as young as 14-years-old for Epstein. He allegedly committed suicide by hanging, according to NBC News.
Then, Kellyanne offered up acknowledgment that her boss:
‘[H]e’s met her “numerous times over the years” and “wish her well.” ‘
That was when MacCallum pulled out a fast question of her own. She wanted to know why it took Trump two months to act, which should have been six months ago:
‘But Kellyanne, I guarantee you there are people at home who will listen to that and say, why didn’t the White House have this message for all of us two months ago? Why now? Why wasn’t this pushed and emphasized and encouraged by the president back then when it might have made even more of a difference?’
Conway offered a somewhat-wanting response for Trump’s 360 degrees change, then she quickly pivoted to another subject, a subject covered in another Daily Beast article about the Chris Wallace interview Sunday:
‘The president did say in April if people want to wear a mask, they should wear a mask, early on (said) wouldn’t help.’
After that, Conway got her second breath and divulged that in the Oval Office, Dr. Deborah Birx supposedly sat POTUS down and explained masks to him. Did Kellyanne want people to believe that no one had ever bothered to tell the president about masks? Did he not ever see masks explained during newscasts when he watches up to seven hours a day? That tact certain makes Trump look less than bright.
Then, Conway pointed out that most people were not able to be tested every day as the president is and get some of the “rapid results” tests in the rarified White House air. The counsel continued:
‘We know that the president is COVID-negative, we don’t know that about the rest of the country. So we’re asking people to wear masks.’

The anti-Trump Republicans behind The Lincoln Project are among the many Americans who are fed up with Donald Trump’s endless belligerence. At a Tuesday press conference, Trump said that he “wish[ed]… well” to Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who was recently arrested over her role in the sex crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. On Wednesday, The Lincoln Project released a new video ad comparing Trump’s lax response to the mounting carnage inflicted by the Coronavirus pandemic to his eagerness to talk about the wellness that he wished to Ghislaine Maxwell.
It’s a devastating comparison — Trump seems more concerned with Maxwell’s public image than he is with the well over 140,000 Americans who’ve died due to the Coronavirus and the millions of Americans who’ve lost their jobs amidst the economic upheaval that has been exacerbated by the Trump administration’s own abject failures to control the pandemic. The Lincoln Project captioned their video:
‘Trump wishes the accused child sex trafficker well. The millions who are unemployed? It is what it is.’
“It is what it is” is a direct quote from a recent interview that the president did with Chris Wallace of Fox News. At the time, Trump was discussing the latest surge of the virus in the United States, which he sometimes seems more willing to delusionally blame China for than he is to actually take the necessary steps to stop the spread.

As reporter Betsy Woodruff Swan reported, one federal prosecutor had the following thoughts:
‘The president has nothing to say about a gun-toting madman who just murdered the son of a federal judge. But he takes time out of his press conference to send well wishes to a woman accused of trafficking teenager girls for sex. That’s gross on its face, and in the aftermath of the Stone pardon, it reeks of the president indicating to her that he might reward her if she’ll stay silent about whatever she knows about him.’

There’s apparently little if anything that the most fervent of the president’s supporters are unwilling to defend. At a Tuesday press conference, President Donald Trump said that he “wish[ed]… well” to Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who was recently arrested over her role as an accomplice in the sex crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy was among those who spoke out against the president’s comments, and in the comment section of his post on Twitter about the incident, apparent Trump supporters turned out in droves to defend the president.
President Trump said today of Ghislaine Maxwell that he “wish(ed) her well.” Earlier this month Maxwell was charged in federal court with conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors. https://t.co/g2bKCLT1WR — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 22, 2020
Some of the commenters self-confidently talked about how Maxwell should supposedly be considered innocent until proven guilty — but Epstein’s crimes are not in question! This is not some case of petty theft. The president defended a woman with ties to years of documented sex crimes against minors.
Specifically, he said, in reference to Maxwell:
‘I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years… I just wish her well, whatever it is.’
It’s true that Trump has met Maxwell “numerous times” — there’s photographic evidence of it. There are a significant number of photos including Trump, Maxwell, Epstein, or some combination of them and their associates.
One federal prosecutor on Trump's well-wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell:
“in the aftermath of the Stone pardon, it reeks of the president indicating to her that he might reward her if she’ll stay silent about whatever she knows about him." https://t.co/t2TrQuvObm — Betsy Woodruff Swan (@woodruffbets) July 21, 2020
Meanwhile, in reference to the president’s comments, Rep. Roy said:
‘This is unacceptably obtuse for a woman accused of the most morally depraved of crimes, @realDonaldTrump. She needs to be severely punished… and justice must be served for the girls she abused. For ALL involved.’

Settle down Chip. She is an innocent citizen at the moment. You wouldn't want anything/anyone to taint her prosecution, would you. And "wish her well' isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. It could simply mean wishing her well in prison for life. — Scott Moore (@SRMooreSr) July 22, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-07-22--Senate To Bypass Trump & Remove Confederate Names From Bases

This week , the Senate is preparing to pass legislation including a plan to remove the names of Confederate leaders from military bases in the U.S .
The plan to remove the Confederate names is included as an add-on to the National Defense Authorization Act ( NDAA ) for the upcoming fiscal year , which authorizes defense spending for the year .
President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the legislation when it gets to his desk if it includes the plan to remove the Confederate names , but even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) — who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberal , obviously — has objected to the president ’ s veto threat .
On Wednesday , the Senate was set to vote to begin closing up debate on their version of the NDAA .
The Senate plan requires the removal of the names to be carried out within three years .
The Democrat-led House has already passed its own version of the legislation , and their version includes a requirement for the renaming to be complete within one year .
The difference is one of the issues that will have to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ versions of the bill and members meet to hash out differences and prepare a final copy .
So far , six amendments have been brought up for a roll-call vote amidst the Senate ’ s debate over their version of the NDAA , but none of them covered the included plan to remove Confederate names from military bases .
While the bill was still in the Senate Armed Services Committee , Sen. Josh Hawley ( R-Mo . )
had introduced an amendment that would have removed the requirement for the names to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a commission to simply study the situation and come up with a plan in the future .
However , Hawley ’ s amendment was blocked .
Like the Senate as a whole , the Senate Armed Services Committee is currently led by a Republican majority .
The plan to remove the Confederate names passed that committee anyway .
Sen. James Inhofe ( R-Okla. ) , who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee , sounded confident that Trump wouldn ’ t even follow through on his threat .
Inhofe said : ‘ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this .
It will probably be November by the time it would be coming to his desk anyway , so a lot can happen between now and then , and one thing that isn ’ t going to happen is a veto.
’ Trump seems to be trying to use his racist attachment to monuments of the Confederacy to distract observers from the failures of his presidency .

President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the legislation when it gets to his desk if it includes the plan to remove the Confederate names, but even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — who’s not exactly some kind of liberal, obviously — has objected to the president’s veto threat.
On Wednesday, the Senate was set to vote to begin closing up debate on their version of the NDAA. The Senate plan requires the removal of the names to be carried out within three years. The Democrat-led House has already passed its own version of the legislation, and their version includes a requirement for the renaming to be complete within one year. The difference is one of the issues that will have to be taken up after both chambers have passed versions of the bill and members meet to hash out differences and prepare a final copy.
So far, six amendments have been brought up for a roll-call vote amidst the Senate’s debate over their version of the NDAA, but none of them covered the included plan to remove Confederate names from military bases.

Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) had introduced an amendment that would have removed the requirement for the names to be removed and replaced it with the creation of a commission to simply study the situation and come up with a plan in the future. However, Hawley’s amendment was blocked.
Like the Senate as a whole, the Senate Armed Services Committee is currently led by a Republican majority. The plan to remove the Confederate names passed that committee anyway.
Trump has tweeted:
‘I will Veto the Defense Authorization Bill if the Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren (of all people!) Amendment, which will lead to the renaming (plus other bad things!) of Fort Bragg, Fort Robert E. Lee, and many other Military Bases from which we won Two World Wars, is in the Bill!’

Lee, and many other Military Bases from which we won Two World Wars, is in the Bill! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2020
During a Fox interview, Mitch McConnell himself countered:
‘I hope the president will reconsider vetoing the entire defense bill, which includes pay raises for our troops, over a provision in there that could lead to changing the names of some of these military bases.’
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, sounded confident that Trump wouldn’t even follow through on his threat. Inhofe said:
‘We have a long time to talk about this. It will probably be November by the time it would be coming to his desk anyway, so a lot can happen between now and then, and one thing that isn’t going to happen is a veto.’
