“the American taxpayer’s dollars Mitch McConnell appropriated in this onnimonster only allows our money to help migrants into our country NOT keep them out.” Just saw this on FBN, absolutely true.
I sure as heck hope they stick to this.
“That doesn’t sound like a recipe for working together in the best interest of the country, so I think this is just words spoken during the heat of passion,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas),
Does Cornyn consider tying the Houses ability to control the purse strings for nearly half of their term, essentially giving the gavel to Nasty still, "working together?"
I can think of a few other things to call Cornyn besides an "arse!"
Omnibus Bill Increases Budget to $212.1M for DOJ to Prosecute January 6 Prisoners
Previously, the DOJ requested Congress for only $34 million for its budget to fund 130 employees to investigate the 80 January 6 prisoners. However, the budget was expanded to $212.1 million.

Hi Rusty.....so has this bill passed now? It’s a done deal?
DOJ asked for more money for Jan 6 cases than for violent crime prosecutions: pic.twitter.com/kJYsFsZzJE— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) December 21, 2022
No, not a done deal yet but they are rushing to make it so.
It’s still being debated.
Sorry for not following as closely as I could have, but does it go to the House if the Senate passes it, or is that already done? Basically, if the Senate passes it, it’s then a done deal?
It originated in the Senate, so the House will have to approve it. The Dems are still th majority, so their final act can be locking up the pursestrings till September.
That I can’t answer but we know the House under Nasty will rubber stamp the Omni Bill.
The only chance we have in stopping it is for the Senate pubbies to have 41 votes against it since it needs 60 to pass.
Doesn’t look hopeful to me.
Wow. Taking away the only power the new House will have. Unbelievable. Cotton, Grassley and Rubio all on board....disgusting.

I don’t know if they will vote to pass it. The vote was to open debate. Their phones need to be ringing off the hook to vote no. These Senators will ruin the country more just to get one thing they want in a bill.
$1.7 Trillion Spending Bill Promotes Human Extinction to Save Animals
“One provision in the bill states that “not less than” $575 million “should be made available for family planning/reproductive health, including in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity or endangered species.”

Everyday I’m more convinced that our government’s a criminal cartel that just professionally wastes/launders money while dividing us along silly lines like skin color in order to trick us like a cheap magician who uses their sleight of hand to distract us as they pick our pocket.

GOP Can’t Be Successful Until Mitch McConnell Is Gone
BY: MOLLIE HEMINGWAY
DECEMBER 21, 2022
Comments Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made on Tuesday show why he has become the single biggest obstacle to GOP success.
The Kentucky Republican claimed giving more money to Ukraine is “the No. 1 priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.” The new $1.7 trillion Democrat spending bill he enthusiastically supports would give Ukraine another roughly $45 billion in assistance, bringing the total over the past eight months to more than $100 billion, a staggering figure even if it weren’t happening during a time of inflation, looming recession, and other serious domestic problems.
The comment about Republican priorities is so false as to be completely delusional. Among the many concerns Republican voters have with Washington, D.C., a failure to give even more money to Ukraine simply does not rank.
A large coalition of conservative groups, including the Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute, publicly opposed ramming through more Ukraine support during the lame-duck session before Republicans take over control of the House on Jan. 3, 2023. Strong pluralities and majorities of Republicans have told pollsters they want decreases, not increases, in foreign spending and global military involvement.
Many Republican voters support helping Ukraine fight Russia’s unjust invasion, but it is absolutely nowhere near their top issue, contrary to McConnell’s false claim. It ranked higher as a priority before American taxpayers gave Ukraine more than was given to their war effort by nearly every other country in the world combined. But even at the height of support for the effort, before it turned into a massive proxy war with an unclear relationship to the U.S. national interest, it was not the top issue for Republicans, coming behind the economy and the U.S. border.
A majority of Americans polled a few months ago said more money should be given to Ukraine only after wealthy European countries match what Americans have already sent — something nowhere near happening.
Republicans care deeply about borders and national sovereignty, but they rank the protection of their own open border far above the protection of the borders of other countries. It is worth remembering that the longest government shutdown in U.S. history occurred in 2019 over a fight between Congress and President Donald Trump over whether to commit a relatively paltry $5 billion to protect our country’s southern border, which Congress had refused to fund.

A POX on Mitch, more of Mollie’s article......
About that $1.7 Trillion Spending Package
Another comment from McConnell also shocked Republicans. Of the $1.7 trillion left-wing spending spree McConnell is working so hard to help Democrats pass, he said, unbelievably, that he was “pretty proud of the fact that with a Democratic president, Democratic House, and Democratic Senate, we were able to achieve through this omnibus spending bill essentially all of our priorities.” As an indication of how deeply sick and broken and unserious the Senate is, no one had even begun to read the lengthy bill, which was put forward just hours before votes began.
The American people voted for Republicans to take over control of the House of Representatives, and House Republicans had begged McConnell to push for a smaller, short-term bill to keep the government funded while also giving them a rare opportunity to weigh in on Biden’s policy goals. McConnell allies dismissed House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and other House members who tried to persuade Republican senators not to support Democrats’ spending frenzy.
Budgets are policy documents, and the only leverage Republicans have is to wait a few weeks for when they will have a much stronger hand to weigh in on every issue that matters. By ramming through the $1.7 trillion package during the lame-duck session, Republicans will have significantly less ability over the next year to fight against Democrats’ destruction of rule of law in the Department of Justice, the failure to protect American borders, the destruction of the military, and Democrat collusion with Big Tech to suppress conservatives and their ideas.
The spending bill McConnell asserted was good for all of his priorities rewards the FBI with brand new headquarters and ups the funding for the DOJ to enable it to go after even more of its political opponents while protecting its political allies.
It’s perhaps worth remembering that during the 2020 Georgia runoff campaign, McConnell blocked efforts to increase funding for Americans who had their businesses and jobs shut down by government mandate during the response to Covid-19. Spending is not a problem for him, so long as the right people receive the funds.
