Senate Overrides Obama’s Veto of 9/11 Bill
The Senate on Wednesday voted to override President Obama’s veto of legislation that would allow 9/11 victims’ families to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, despite Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan’s warning of “grave” risks to American national security if it becomes law.
Despite his late plea, the Senate voted 97-1 to override Obama’s veto. Only Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) voted to sustain the president’s veto.
The measure now heads to the House, which is expected to vote to override the veto Wednesday afternoon. Leaders of that chamber say they have the votes to override Obama’s veto for the first time in his presidency.
Finally - after seven and a half years, Congress has decided to override an Obama veto. To say it is about time, is an understatement. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the lame duck Obama's approval ratings have slipped from around a plus eight just a few weeks ago to a 49.8 to 47.1 average today.

Hey, Ch, were the online polls on the debate (which I believe you loudly touted) rigged -- as the following argues?

You mean the polls I suggested were dominated by rabid internet trolls backing Donald Trump on Post Debate Analysis?
You mean you posting the drudge poll as being real???? LOL speaking of rabid bias.
