Trump vetoes Boebert's bill on the Arkansas Valley Conduit

[Nostra]

He goes after ENTIRE STATES if they don't vote for him.

What a weak, petty, fuckin' child.

There has never been anything like this. Not even close.

Cry more.

If this was an oil company involved, they would already have four them built coast to coast.

In another 10 years, you are going to find out water is 1000 times more valuable a resource than oil will ever be.

The logistics and design of such a project can be done to fit the need. The backers of that project will have a friendly administration in another 3 years, and along with all of the renewable energy projects the orange pedo has shut down, after getting his $1 billion bribe from big oil. It will get started again, and big oil will be the ones paying for it, after all of their subsidy money is redirected.

Please give us a credible source for your $1 billion bribe claim.

And by a voice vote to boot!

Can you even fathom a chorus of Ayes when I bet 87% of those congress critters probably did not even bother to give the project a look?

I'd bet dollars to donuts there were pockets to be lined on both sides of the isle.

Come on, man! What side of the island are you on?

Veto of Water Project Is Trump’s Latest Targeted Hit on Colorado​

Meet what might be President Trump’s newest enemy: the State of Colorado.

Miffed at Colorado’s votes against him in three successive elections and furious at its refusal to free Tina Peters, a convicted election denier and ardent Trump supporter, Mr. Trump has opened an assault against the Democratic-run state. His administration has cut off transportation money, relocated the military’s Space Command, vowed to dismantle a leading climate and weather research center and rejected disaster relief for rural counties hammered by floods and wildfires.

A major escalation to Mr. Trump’s attacks on the state came on Tuesday, when he used the first veto of his second term to kill a pipeline project to provide clean drinking water to the state’s eastern plains, a largely conservative area.

Hell hath no furry like a prez who is pissed over a governor's refusal to give legal relief to someone who committed a crime on Don's behalf. Few things seem to give him more pleasure than seeing who folk fall in to that category get pardoned. With the exception of making millions from his corrupt crypto biz dealings.

Trump is a fascist thug – this is yet another example of Trump’s abuse of power to exact revenge against perceived enemies.

If there were any doubts about Mr. Trump’s sentiments toward the state’s leaders, he posted a New Year’s Eve message telling Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, and the Republican district attorney in Mesa County who prosecuted Ms. Peters, Daniel P. Rubinstein, to “rot in Hell.”

“I wish them only the worst,” the president said.

That's the definition of petty petulance and a dereliction of a prez's responsibility to do what's best for all Americans.

Great, I'd like a new flat screen television....send cash, simp.

WTF, they've been working on this project for about 65 fricken years, now you want others to pay?

You have to wonder when Trumpers throw other Trumpers into the trash bin. Honestly, that is all you need to know to understand MAGA. It is all about me,

Skimming a cut is the only reason they pass PORK spending bills.

Opinion | We fought hard for this Colorado water project. Congress needs to override Trump's veto.

Sens. Hickenlooper and Bennet: While the administration focuses on international brinkmanship and personal grievances, American families' basic needs are treated like an afterthought.

Kamala in 2024 beat Trump in Colorado by double digits. The governor of Colorado is a Democrat. Does anyone in their right mind think that Trump is going to do anything positive for Colorado?
The state will just have to wait until January 2029 when the new Democrat President is sworn in. Until then the citizens of Colorado should spend great amounts of time criticizing Trump and making sure everyone understands the evil that he represents.

He is not a president of the people; he is a president of Trump, period!

Further proof Trump is unfit to be president.

The project was massively over budget.

Further proof Trump is unfit to be president.

Further proof that many don't bother to read the articles they link.
The last paragraph of this OPINION piece provides the solution;
...
The House of Representatives is scheduled to take up a vote Thursday to override Trump’s veto. If members of either party actually want to deliver for their constituents, then the path forward is clear. Congress must stand up to this intimidation, honor the promise made 60 years ago and override this veto.

...
BTW, why has it taken 60 years for what looks to have been a basic, and easy project to effect ???

There has never been anything like this. Not even close.

If you had a real brain and less ignorance, you'd know that ENTIRE populations of STATES don't all vote one way, the same. Usually it's a slight majority that will vote for or against something/someone.
In the case of Colorado, only a slight majority of the population voted Blue/Democrat.
FWIW, barely two decades ago Colorado was a strong Red/Republican state.

Actually he is more FIT than most of our recent POTUS.
IF: "The business of America(USA) is Business."
Than Trump is the first real business-person as POTUS in a long time.
Most of the POTUS in recent decades (almost the past century) have been career politicians, with passing personal interest and participation, if any, in business, i.e.; wealth creation, for profit Free Enterprise.
Ironically, Carter, the peanut farmer, may have been the most recent such.

So IMO, Trump is more fit than most of what we've had for decades now.
