The raping of America passing for COVID relief.

This latest “stimulus” bill coming out of Congress is a total POS. This country has waited nine damn months so Pakistan could get $10 million for gender programs. The list is nauseating

• $169,739,000 to Vietnam, including $19 million to remediate dioxins (page 1476).
• Unspecified funds to “continue support for not-for-profit institutions of higher education in Kabul, Afghanistan that are accessible to both women and men in a coeducational environment” (page 1477).
• $198,323,000 to Bangladesh, including $23.5 million to support Burmese refugees and $23.3 million for “democracy programs” (page 1485).
• $130,265,000 to Nepal for “development and democracy programs” (page 1485).
• Pakistan: $15 million for “democracy programs” and $10 million for “gender programs” (page 1486).
• Sri Lanka: Up to $15 million “for the refurbishing of a high endurance cutter,” which is a type of patrol boat (page 1489).
• $505,925,000 to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama to “address key factors that contribute to the migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States” (pages 1490-1491).
• $461,375,000 to Colombia for programs related to counternarcotics and human rights (pages 1494-1496).
• $74.8 million to the “Caribbean Basin Security Initiative” (page 1498).
• $33 million “for democracy programs for Venezuela” (page 1498).
• Unspecified amount to Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Curacao, and Trinidad and Tobago “for assistance for communities in countries supporting or otherwise impacted by refugees from Venezuela” (page 1499).
• $132,025,000 “for assistance for Georgia” (page 1499).
• $453 million “for assistance for Ukraine” (page 1500).

It contains billions to secure the borders of foreign countries while shutting down the wall

As part of the more than 5,590-page spending bill, the deal provides the country of Jordan with “up to $500,000,000” in taxpayer money “to provide assistance to the Government of Jordan to support the armed forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders.”

Likewise, the bill gives $250 million in taxpayer money to the countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman for “enhanced border security.” Specifically in Lebanon, the bill gives taxpayer money to “secure the borders” of Lebanon.

We are told this is a “COVID Relief” bill. That’s f**king ridiculous. Nine months have passed since the last “relief” bill. In that time, Congressional members have been paid more than $100,000 each. In the mean time, restaurants and businesses have been ordered shut down, but those a**holes in Congress continue to be paid no matter what.

Both parties are utterly contemptible for forcing this garbage down our throats, but let’s take a second to remember what happened.

democrats have blocked a relief bill for months.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders admitted that fellow Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, were responsible for delaying urgently needed coronavirus relief by walking away from the White House’s offer of a $1.8 trillion coronavirus package.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Monday, the socialist two-time presidential candidate noted Pelosi’s hypocrisy in endorsing a smaller bipartisan $908 million deal last week after rejecting the twice-as-large proposal from President Trump in October.

“Democrats walked away from that deal because they wanted $2.2 trillion,” Tapper said.

“That’s right!” Sanders (I-Vt.) responded, confirming it was Democrats, not Republicans, who were to blame for months of inaction.

“They walked away from $1.8 trillion, was that a mistake?” Tapper asked.

“That’s what I’m saying. That’s exactly what I’m saying,” Sanders said.

“Here was a proposal much, much larger. Democrats said, ‘No, that’s not good enough,’” he continued.

Donald Trump twice asked for a standalone relief bill- back in October.

President Trump took to Twitter Wednesday morning to reiterate to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi his desire to sign a standalone bill to provide $1,200 stimulus checks to Americans — as the federal government remains locked in a stalemate over coronavirus relief negotiations.

Just 10 hours after first mentioning Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a tweet Tuesday evening, when he expressed interest in a focused relief deal that would just cover the checks, the commander-in-chief circled back.

“Move Fast, I Am Waiting To Sign!” Trump wrote in a retweet of his earlier message, tagging the California Democrat’s account.

“If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?” the president wrote late Tuesday in his initial post on the matter.

F**k Americans, said Pelosi. She wanted gender studies for Pakistan.

Can’t imagine why it’s so important to dish out so much unaccounted for money to foreign nations, except to assume it’s meant primarily to benefit US middlemen brokers and, of course, to allow for the usual kickbacks to the congressional sponsors. It is Christmas after, and in the spirit of giving, I imagine many in DC have decided to give and give...to themselves.

[dainbramaged]

I hope President Trump vetoes that bloated piece of crap.

It's money laundering

[Responsibility2nd]

Actually he’s going to sign off on it. Instead of $600, he’s now proposing $2000 in Covid relief for all Americans. Pelosi and Schumer agreed and so things will get done. Including all the pork that was in the original bill.

Pakistan? Burma? Sri Lanka?

What have these deadbeats ever done for us?

And Ukraine? How much of that money goes to Hunter and Joe in 2021?

Can’t imagine why it’s so important to dish out so much unaccounted for money to foreign nations, except to assume it’s meant primarily to benefit US middlemen brokers ...

We have a winner: How much of that Ukraine money, for example, will get kicked back to people like Hunter Biden?

This is how the swamp works: money allocated ostensibly for public purposes is vacuumed by a horde of parasitic apparatchiks acting as lawyers, consultants, former government officials & Congressional staffers, or leftist NGOs getting free financing from the US taxpayer.

It's a well paid, cozy little club. If you can get in, it's a sinecure for life. Trump's election interrupted this money flow, which is why he was attacked so viciously by members of the Deep State and members of both political parties.

[Glide Plane]

Yes, he will veto it, but Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi already have enough votes to override the veto.

Personally, I am livid. WTF is Congress giving hundreds of millions / billions to foreign countries? It’s infuriating.

Somebody wake me when the Patriots revolt and begin hanging or burning Congess members at the stake.

[jimbug]

Little do they realize what targets they have willingly put on their backs. Americans are so pissed right now it’s unbelievable. That’s the real reason why they are using COVID as a reason not to assemble. They are scared to death of We the People.

[BradyLS]

Forget the stimulus. Drop the stupid masquerade so Americans can get back to work and their livelihoods.

Gender studies? In Pakistan!

For gender-confused terrorists?
