Oh, that's not true. Lots of un-elected Congressional staffers have read the parts of it which they wrote. If there's one thing Democrats and Republicans in Congress can agree on, it's spending other people's money, and they trust their staffers to write up ways to do that.

I think we may have passed the tipping point a while back, and it’s really amazing to see just how dangerous our government is to this country and everyone in it.

Hopefully, the Senate will not vote for it.

I really don’t care what the Fake Congress does. This is SOP, not to read. When the DeathCare bill was going to a vote, I asked Mike Castle to object and have the bill read. He was shocked and refused.

Fake Congress critters are products of our schools, public and private. They never learned how to read. These people who if unemployed would rob old people, rape women, sell drugs and kill with no remorse. In other words, continue what they already do. Except it would be on our streets.

No wall = no country
No country = no government
No government = no laws

FU Fake Congress

Have you ever tried reading one of those things? A good cure for insomnia.

The Donald should veto it...

Beat me to it. Each congresscritter should be required to certify that they have read and understand any bill they are going to vote upon. When a quorum have responded, hold the vote. Unread legislation should get an automatic veto.

Not worth reading. It is worthless. Demands a veto. Too many land mines, too many words, too many dollars for stupid projects.

Yup, I think he'll sign it. He just won't pay hardball with the Republicans in Congress.

Hope I'm wrong.
