Happy that Ron stays the course. I have one decent person to vote for.

So does that mean there won’t be 10 GOP senators to break filibuster, or there will be?

“..Mike Lee says the senators were bought off....”

No surprise there.
That’s how they become multi-millionaires while in public office....they’re nothing but criminals.

McConnell and several others should be honest and switch parties. There’s no difference between China Mitch and Chucky Schumer. No difference at all. It’s a disgrace.

I hope they’re legitimately pissed.

I can see this being a Robert De Bruce situation in Scotland where he supports the rebellion with his lands in the North, and supports King Edward with his lands in the South.

Something has to give. I don’t know how we get out of this mess, to be honest. We’re screwed.

Is this the bill that changes the way electoral votes are counted in Congress? In addition to funding the govt, I mean.

Guess what Bim! It’ll be signed and passed before anyone gets to to page 78 of 4,000+ pages. Pork dripping from the pages. Contact your senators and CONgress critters. They need a good laugh. Maybe they’ll wait until you hang up. πŸ€”πŸ˜²πŸ–•

Rand says he wouldn’t put those who wrote this bill in charge of a gas station.

He says he’ll vote for 99% of spending (after 5 years you balance the budget this way)

Mike Braun says they (conservative senators) are going to argue “week after week” in the new year against all this spending

"So does that mean there won’t be 10 GOP senators to break filibuster, or there will be?"

The 60 votes are assured. These Pubs were just given cover by Mitch to be against the Omnibus. Got to shore up the base back home. Political kabuki theater. Paul is serious, the others not so much.

Kabuki Theater, they are all for it, just giving the illusion that there is difference between the two parties.
