Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) was among the dozens of lawmakers to vote against the latest COVID relief bill, a $900 billion package that will send $600 stimulus checks to most Americans. The measure, which is nearly 6,000 pages long, had a whole lot of other, seemingly irrelevant provisions that 50 House Republicans, two House Democrats, and six GOP senators couldn't approve.
Sen. Scott explained why he was a "no." Too little time to read, he wrote, and too much "wasteful spending."

My favorite bit of pork in this bill was $10 million for “gender programs” in Pakistan.
Who are the other 6?
They should form our new leadership base.
You can almost hear all the glbtqrsxyzmnop Pockustahanees in Karachi celebrating eh?
These folks need to form a new voting block. And block everything.


My former Gov. And, if you need someone to explain the no vote, then you are beyond help. Or, maybe doc jill can write a dissertation why the bill is a good thing. You know, so an 8th grader can understand it.
Now join with Mo Brooks and stop other bullish!t!
Should just about cover the body bags needed when they are thrown off the roofs.
“””Our Senator Rick Scott did the right thing.”””
I agree. Now Rick Scott needs to join with a House member and challenge the Electoral Votes on January 6th.
Florida voters will have Scott’s back when he does the right thing.
Please,please tell me you're exaggerating for effect... not that I'd put it past white liberal 'elites' to kick Americans citizen in the head while they're down...but really 'gender programs' in Pakistan?

Ooops. I just left a scorching phone message saying please vote against it.

I just picked the first site that came up. There 100’s of other outrageous things just like this in the bill. Its 5000+ pages, so I’m not going to read it all….
This bill is so evil that words cannot properly describe it.
DC is nothing but evil anymore. Pennies for USAians and hundreds of billions for every evil institution, foreign and domestic.
DC is conquered, occupied territory. At this point it has _nothing_ to do with We-The-People, our USConstitution, our ways or our laws.
Thanks PGR88

from link:
...lengthy coronavirus relief bill...includes a number of lesser-known provisions that have raised some eyebrows.
Among them are a pair of assistance programs in Pakistan, whereby $15 million will be put toward “democracy programs” and $10 million will be distributed to “gender programs.”
I gather our other “Senator” voted for it?
What a whimp!
Thank you Senator Scott
Rick Scott does a lot of things right, Marco Rubio and DeSantis too. In fact, we have a lot of good Rep. pols in Florida.
