And of course, the is not one spine in the Republican caucus who would stop out all the superfluous crappola. They demanded a “clean” bill right? Cut out this pork and ram it up Bitch McConnell's derriere.

McCain said “we didn’t even know about this until a few hours ago”. Well, old fool, tell them to take it out.
The rest of the nation should be pissed that McConnell is useing their money to buy him some votes.

Until they are physically thrown out they’ll keep doing this kind of crap. Giving money we don’t have to a millionaire widow. And the republicans are all in. Will there ever be a third party? There better be. Because the republicans are dead.

LOL. I just told my hubby about this and he said, “ FU. I feel like Ma and Pa Kettle on the farm”. I don’t know what he meant about that. It was his comment.
