The price paid for empowering a FELON, fascist and vindictive psychopath. Lessons learned? I wouldn't bank on it.

Petty Trump screws Colorado Republicans - Dailykos

On Thursday, the U.S. House narrowly failed to override a rare veto by Donald Trump of a Colorado water project located in arch-conservative Rep. Lauren Boebert’s district. Thirty-five Republicans, many of them from Western states, joined all Democrats in the override effort.

The bill would have cost the federal government less than $500,000 and originally passed the House and Senate unanimously, which tells you just how uncontroversial it was. Trump justified the veto by claiming that “[e]nding the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the nation.” 

In reality, Trump is carrying a vendetta both against Colorado for refusing his demands to release election-tamperer Tina Peters from prison, and against Boebert for voting to release the government’s files on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

“Nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections,” Boebert said when Trump first vetoed the legislation.

2. 3 times they voted for the leopard

Now it’s face eating time. He never cared about you, only your votes.

Y’all got what you voted for.

3. Exactly. And many of them

would vote for him again. And not just Coloradans. There are many, from various demographics, farmers, people dependent on safety net programs, union members, women, people from various minorities - people who, in spite of all Trump HAD done to them, promised he'd do TO them, and failed to do FOR them, STILL voted for this reprobate.

Some not only never learn, but REFUSE to. A willful ignorance and self effacing obstinacy they pride themselves on.
