That bill that was just passed, where Congress took away the President's ability to wage war as easily on his own...I didn't see any remarks or tweets that Trump made about that.
Was that embarrassment the strange reason he suddenly did that tweet about Joe & Mika?

(37,648 posts)It wasn't "passed" by Congress.
It's an amendment to the budget bill by the House of Reps. The amendment was approved to be added to the budget. The amendment, proposed by a black female representative, is almost certainly not going to make it through the budget process later this year. It'll be stricken, and the budget changed...and viewed as a partisan amendment by a mere woman, and by one of those partisan black people in Congress.
That's why not much coverage. That's a disappointment. But kudos to her for calling the nation's attention to this dangerous situation.
