Not quite. If Congress adjourns during that 10-day period and the President does not sign the bill, it dies via a "pocket veto."

Once again, Trump shows how stupid he is. He thought he could end this war in a week. Iran is going to hang in a long time. Meanwhile, they're going to completely destroy the global economy. Americans (includimg military families) will suffer. Defense contractors will be the only ones who benefit.

Shut it all down! We won't be intimidated by tyranny. Trump can threaten all he wants. The billionaires will suffer more than we will.

It is hard for me to believe that Trump has engaged in this war to protect human rights. That is not even happening in our country.

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict

Is incompetence more dangerous than evil? Arrogance plus small dick energy along with religious fanaticism might destroy what is left of the planet. A sad state of affairs. Is this a fitting end to humanity?

My heart goes out to those serving and their families in the Vermont National Guard. They are in fear and don't know when they they'll see their loved ones again. They were in Puerto Rico, and now they are hunkered down in bunkers in Jordan to avoid Iranian missile and drone strikes.

Trump’s White House Posts Fascist Memes As It Wrecks the Economy The president’s extremely online staff is posting ‘Grand Theft Auto’ memes and cracking jokes about his Iran war as energy prices explode.

"The Trump-Vance administration’s actions around the globe don’t feel like those of a functioning government in a healthy democracy, but rather those of addled suburban teens playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, or GTA, cackling hysterically and chugging gallons of Pepsi."

Fighting words from our brave little state. Thank you representative Balint. We are proud of you.

Why did US launch military operations in Ecuador? Here's what we know Both Ecuador and the United States haven’t specified who they’re targeting, locations of operations, or the scope of military actions.

I guess we've now declared war on Ecuador as well.

Williston Vermont is one of the two offices that exists nationwide to track you. Reach out to your legislators and tell them that you want protection from our hostile government. The Trump administration is going after our first amendment rights.

A dictator needs war to stay in power.

At the beginning of the war, we were spending $2B per day. Now we are spending $1B per day. In less than one month, if we spent that money to close the nutrition gap. We would save $160B in health care costs. Don't ever tell me MAGA is pro life or pro economy.

Trump forwards another unqualified appointment. Hospitality executive Scott Socha is President Trump’s pick to lead the National Park Service, and has no experience in public service or conservation. His company actually sued the NPS.

This cartoon is as relevent today as it was in the 1950's. Will we ever learn??

Pete Hegseth Complains Reporting On Dead Troops Is Trying To 'Make The President Look Bad'.

As our country attacks Iran, it is hard for me to see the difference between the Christian Nationalism that is coming out of the Trump administration and Sharia Law. If you simply replace a few words, Christian Nationalism looks just like Sharia Law.

Trump and Rubio need to get a little more coordinated with their lies on why we are fighting a war in Iran. The Trump administration has offered an array of conflicting justifications for the war with Iran since the bombs started falling on Saturday.

Military leaders pushing 'Armageddon views' on troops as Iran war begins: complaint A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers Monday that the Iran war was part of God's plan to usher in the End Times and bring about Jesus Christ's second coming, according to a complaint ...

"He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,'"

So the message to the troops is, it is God's plan for Trump to create Armageddon. That is actually the most sensible answer.I've heard yet for Trump's decision making.

President Trump was right in 2020:

"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

Make sure to join your next No Kings rally on March 28. Burlington Vermont folks, join me as I lead the march from Roosevelt Park to City Hall. Bring your noisemakers!

We are now the invaders. We started this war.
