McConnell and the other 9 “republicans” could have nipped this in the bud by not voting for cloture, this is on them ...

Build Back Better = Great Reset = New World Order repackaged

Where’s the GOP with a counter offer budget to siphon votes away from this plan. Where’s McConnell’s brilliant leadership on that? How about Romney? Come up with a budget plan that supports GOP values and let’s haggle.
But no. It’s all political theater.
This stuff will subsidize the commie takeover... or attempt to take over...
*build back broker
Let me guys the9 Republitards are the same usual suspects.. Romeny, Mukowski, Graham etc.
Not the same bill...
This is not the budget bill.
They are screaming about not PASSING THE BILL.
Now, we find out IT IS NOT EVEN COMPLETE.
They think we are as stupid as they are. Stupid and Hateful, a horrible way to go through life.
