‘Stunning Act of Betrayal’: Here Are the 18 Senate Republicans Who Voted to Pass $1.85 Trillion McConnell-Schumer Omnibus Bill
The Daily Signal ^ | 12/22/2022 | Tyler O'Neill

Posted on 12/22/2022 1:06:48 PM PST by DFG

A total of 18 Republicans joined all Senate Democrats to pass a $1.85 trillion omnibus spending bill Thursday afternoon, in the final two weeks in which Democrats control the House of Representatives.

The bill passed 68-29. Since there are 47 Democrats in the Senate and three independents who caucus with Democrats, that means 18 Republicans voted to support the spending package. They are listed below.

Conservatives called the move during the lame-duck session a “stunning act of betrayal.” Democrats have had both branches of Congress and the presidency during all of 2022, conservatives say, but rushed to pass this budget bill only after Republicans won a House majority in November.

Since 1994, the House majority has changed four times. In each case, the outgoing majority didn’t pass an omnibus appropriations bill during the lame-duck session following the election. In each case, the outgoing majority left the hard work of legislating to the representatives the American people had just elected.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, warned that Republicans would be voluntarily abandoning their ability to hold the Biden administration accountable for the next year.

Flushes out the disguised UniParty hacks that are more than likely taking money under the table. They’re not worth spit...nothing but corrupt low-life.. I wouldn’t crap down their throats if they were starving to death.

Something is seriously wrong here.

This many Republicans voted to not enforce immigration law and fund “migrants” illegally entering the country?

Then turn around and fund Ukraine so they can secure their border (along with funding for other countries to secure borders)?

Sorry, something stinks to high heaven.

So the Biden regime just gave another $44 Billion to his corruption buddies in the Ukraine. Maybe that will back them off blackmail threats on those who do 'business' with the Ukrainian corruption machine: Joe Biden, Jim Biden, Hunter Biden; Pelosi's son (what is her cut?), Schumer's son (what is his cut?) and others.

Here's the tactic Mitch uses with these PROSTITUTES:

"This is the multi-$$Billion earmark you get if you come on-board.
otherwise the bill passes anyway and you get nothing AND you'll be on the dog-poop committee..."

Inhofe is always an easy sell for the DOD/MIC, right or wrong. BTW he's retiring and won't be facing his constituents again as a candidate.

DTATH.

Why? Shelby alone got close to $600 million or more in earmarks. How much did the others get?

Whatever corruption there is in Ukraine isn't the problem: they're now talking about $1.87 trillion in spending.
