For 60 years, the National Defense Authorization Act has been passed on a bipartisan & bicameral basis. The President’s veto of the #NDAA is an act of recklessness that harms our troops, endangers our security & undermines the will of Congress. https://t.co/9ETSeZlnhe

“In a time when our country was just targeted with a massive cyberattack, it is particularly hard to understand the reasoning behind the President’s irresponsibility. Disturbingly, Trump is using his final hours in office to sow chaos, including by denying our servicemembers a long-overdue pay raise and hazard duty pay; our families paid family leave, child care, housing and health protections; and our veterans the benefits that they need and deserve. The President’s veto also deprives our country and allies of tools to protect global security – including for cyber-security. “Trump’s veto violates our national values, as it would block action to rename military bases and infrastructure named after those who served in the Confederacy – which is supported by an overwhelming majority of the American people, by House and Senate Democrats and Republicans and by our servicemembers and top military leaders. “Next week, December 28, the House will take up the veto override with bipartisan support.”

If it is the same NDAA that 0 signed, it allows indefinite detention, even of American citizens, which sounds a heaping lot like Chyna's disappearing of Yang Hengjun, a pro-democracy blogger. Really dangerous stuff, writing about democracy....
So maybe, just maybe, Trump is protecting US from any potential rabid attacks by biteme/kamala in any potential worse case scenario......
