  • The deal with a pocket veto is that the President has ten days to either sign or veto the bill – but a veto is really returning it to Congress, unsigned. Congress can then try to get enough votes to overturn the veto.

    If he does nothing with it (sign it or return it to Congress) within 10 days, then that counts as having signed it, and the bill becomes law.

    However, that last bit only applies if Congress was able to accept the returned bill that whole time. If the Congress had already adjourned, and could not accept the returned bill, then the bill does not become law.

    However, in recent years it has been made clear that Congress never really fully adjourns until early January, but then immediately reestablishes itself, so it is never fully adjourned. Even while the House was not in session during the recent government shutdown, they held short mini-sessions to make sure that the body never actually formally adjourned. Furthermore, Congress has made arrangements to accept returned bills from the President even when they are not in session (but have not formally adjourned for the term). So Congress would have to go of its way to adjourn early for the pocket veto to work.

    tldr: a pocket veto won’t work unless Congress shuts itself down.







  • First of all, don’t try to time the market. You will never time it right.

    Second, what you are looking for is called “technical analysis”. That is based on the theory that all the information you need to analyze a stock or crypto token is in the market data (price, volume, etc.), and by analyzing the market data over time you may be able to see a signal as to when to make a market move. There are lots of resources available online to learn the basics.

    And finally, let’s say you read up on this, figure out some of your own good signals, and start to trade based on them. There are professional trading firms who do all that, algorithmically, much faster than you can. You may make money, but it will always be after they do.

    Still want to do it? Good luck!






  • My point is that they are all self aware enough to know they can’t just say “I just won’t vote for any woman”, so they will give you any other reason if asked. It doesn’t have to make sense to us, as long as they can justify it in their head.

    And that, in our current political climate, there are just enough of these losers, in the right zip codes, to make a difference.

    This is part of the reason I so strongly want AOC to take over Schumer’s Senate seat for a term or three. If she runs for President in 2028, she will probably lose. But if she moves to the Senate and is as effective there as she has been in the House, maybe the country will be ready by 2040.
