Nor do they want less. They start in the House. Again, they all have this affliction.

You may say they all have this affliction but no POTUS is on Trump's level. He increased spending substantially through a boom and now is turning the dial up to 11. Stop excusing him

I'm not excusing him anymore than you're excusing the people where spending bills are created.

He doesnt write the checks without permission.

I don't excuse them at all. You think they suck. I think they suck. Why do we need to talk about them? We're talking about Trump because that's where the inconsistency lies.

@n_huffhines I don't disagree wrt to Trump's spending, but of course we all know what happens if he vetoes or doesn't extend another round of "stimulus". Dems come out with the usual catch phrases. "He wants to starve black people and gays!" "He wants children to die in their mother's arms!" "He's anti-poor, child, gay, black, trans, Hispanic....." and the list goes on. Sadly, enough people believe it. I've said it before, this is mostly the voters/people's fault. We say "gimme" and when they don't we fire them for someone who will.

Then he needs to figure out how to communicate his stance to the American people. He's being out-marketed when that should be his thing

This "but they'll say bad things about him" nonsense is just a cop out. He can but won't and that means he is on the hook for the spending. So are all the fiscal conservatives backing him

Warriors' Steve Kerr Blasted for Silence on NBA-China controversy after slamming critics of national anthem protests

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr faced mockery on social media for his ongoing silence about the controversial relationship between the NBA and China.

On Wednesday, ESPN ran a bombshell report that alleged the young participants in the NBA's training academies in China were physically beaten by Chinese instructors and were not provided proper schooling, despite commissioner Adam Silver's previous commitment that education would be "central" to the program.

"A former league employee compared the atmosphere when he worked in Xinjiang to 'World War II Germany,'" ESPN reported.

However, with the NBA season officially underway, Kerr drew his ire on Friday towards critics who oppose kneeling during the national anthem.

"With NBA games now in full force, the inevitable race baiting 'kneeling is a sign of disrespect!' tweets are coming," Kerr wrote. "Our message is clear: We love our country. And we also believe that this nation can and must do better to eliminate racism and bigotry. That is why we kneel."

In light of ESPN's reporting, critics largely went after the coach for not commenting on the NBA-China controversy.

"Steve, I speak for all Americans when I say we’re just relieved China has given you permission to once again speak out on important social and human rights abuses," conservative commentator Stephen Miller quipped.

"Any word on ESPN's expose of your training program in Xinjiang or nah?" Noam Blum, Tablet Magazine associate editor, asked.

"Cool. You ready to speak out against China yet...or nah?" National Review contributor Pradheep J. Shanker similarly tweeted.

"Absolute state of social justice in the NBA is teams kneeling for the national anthem because bigotry while the league was running training camps in China where Chinese coaches were abusing Uighur Muslims," Daily Caller's Greg Price reacted.

"We were basically working for the Chinese government," one former coach told ESPN.

Remind me again which branch holds the purse strings? The House will all but dare him to veto their bill. And why is that?

Because he won't veto it?

The fact of the matter is congress can write whatever they want and it only takes one person to stop them. POTUS has more say than anybody, which is why the buck stops in the oval office. You can blame congress all you want but nobody is in a better position to make a difference than POTUS. He wields amazing power to do good and he's not interested. It's this easy:

"Vetoed. **** you. If this is such an important bill, make it veto proof." - the outsider that Trump pretends he is

And it goes back to my original post. It’s irrelevant whether I think he should or shouldn’t. We all know what the spin will look like and he will be demonized by the house and the left if he does veto. It’s a lose/lose from an optics standpoint. But what do I care? Run the horse till it chokes. Let’s see how everyone likes that outcome.
