JUST IN: Senate Votes 70-25 to Advance $1.7 Trillion Schumer-Pelosi Omnibus Spending Bill

The Senate on Tuesday evening voted 70-25 to advance the $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill and open debate.

This is just the first procedural vote.

The latest spending bill is full of special interest earmarks and pork.

The bill includes $45 billion to Ukraine, $7.5 million in LGBTQ programs, Jan 6 prosecution funding and more.

There is no money for border security.

3,000 pages that no one has read.

Senate Republicans are giving away the incoming GOP Majority House’s power of the purse until September 2023.

If we can continue to pick up 5-10 seats each general
election, we should be fairly competitive within 4 or 5
cycles.

That’s a real improvement. Once we start acting like our
Forefathers are important, things should get better.

Republicans did not read it . . . so,

How much money is being advanced to force lobotomize MAGA-type terrorists?

Another reason not to rely on the Republicans for anything. Only 25 voted against this Inflation causing Monstrosity. So in two years has ginned the deficit up what, about $5 Trillion. Wait until this gets baked into the Inflation figures in a few months.

There were plenty of Earmarks in the Bill for Republicans, Richard Shelby slipped in about $650 Million himself.

Not anymore.

But I’m old enough to remember the good years of the country both my Parents fought in WWII, I grew-up in, and loved.

I'm sure, that "former" Democrat is one of the main reasons this is even happening. And he won't even be back again next year to answer for any of it, how convenient.

I’d be surprised if any Democrats voted against it. They may have.

The good news? I guess we’ll speed up the process of our nation’s ruin so that we can begin rebuilding from the ashes.

Before we can rebuild, we will have to eliminate every traitor…every last one of them. When your house has been turned to sawdust by termites, you can’t rebuild until you first exterminate the termites.

The type of people who would do something like this aren’t Americans in any conceivable sense. They’re just narcissistic demons who will sell out this country, impoverish and endanger its citizens, and even kill us if need be to promote their own self interest. Any available civil remedy was left in the rear view mirror long ago. Just watch what is coming in Brazil to see a proper response to tyranny.

Our nation’s founders knew first hand that you can’t reason with tyrants, you can only fight and defeat them. The United States wouldn’t exist had there not been a full-throated rebellion against tyranny.

“And we keep voting for those backstabbing Bastards. Please tell me why?”

Because if we did not the new 100 senators would stab us through the heart.

Hey, Mitch lives to line his pockets. And line them he does. The rest of us can go straight to hell.

I would love to see a good ole fashion filibuster here.

Don’t forget the Electoral voting reforms that have been slipped into this fraud as well!

Once again, our government has told We The People to, “F√€π Off and do as you’re told!”
