Shameful. They are changing the name of Benning and Bragg, and probably other bases like Fort Hood. They are demanding that troops remain in Afghanistan, Syria, South Korea, etc and forbidding the President from removing them. They limit the President’s ability to divert funds for a border wall in an emergency. God only knows what other giveaways and love letters to the CIA is in there also.

They are a bunch of political whores, voting for whatever the defense industry lobbyists tells them to.

Further info on whether they will have a quorum:

Replying to @RepThomasMassie

Good evening Congressman, would you mind a quick explanation to the issues with proxy voting? This is new to me and surely many others.

@RepThomasMassie

The Constitution says each house shall make its own rules, and there’s nothing to explicitly prohibit proxy voting, but the Constitution also requires a quorum to conduct official business. The question is then whether proxy votes count toward the quorum requirement.

If there are payoffs in this bill, I wonder if everyone who votes for it can be charged with treason.

Go for the proxy vote as unconstitutional. It is. It collapses the whole idea of representation.

Crazy theory, what if Trump is already under house arrest and all the efforts here are just CIA/FBI smoke screens?

Its paranoia I know, but with the way things are I donno.

Deep state is manipulating for southerners to be hated. It’s obvious the South has stopped the NWO by putting Trump in.
