21 Republicans voted to open debate on the omnibus. Dems only need 10 to pass the bill.

(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
This is the real vote, Freepers. Half will no doubt switch for the show vote...
About half of them are spineless.
This list should include the dollar value of the kick backs included in this monstrosity that each of them receive.
Surprising Tillis and Burr are not on the list.
Ten of the 21 RINOs are up for reelection in 2024.
The campaign to primary them out should begin now.
Boozman (AR)
Blunt (MO)
Grassley (IA)
Moran (KS)
Murkowski (AK)
Portman (OH)
Rubio (FL)
Shelby (AL)
Thune (SD)
Young (IN)
Portman, and I believe Shelby Blunt have said they will not be running again. In Portsuckers case that is good news.
We basically have one political party now with two left wings, one more Marxist than the other, but not by much.
The Republic is on life support and the undertaker is waiting outside the ICU for the patient to expire.
Tuberville (R-Ala.)—Say it ain’t so, Joe!
If you take a look at the people WV elects, they might swing right, or they might swing a little left, but they will never miss a chance to bring home the pork.
Grassely and Murkowski just got voted back in.
Shelby is retiring and Tillis is as well. I thought Tillis was one of the keaders of this bill. Well see.
Our problems more severe than commonly imagined
Tuberville may have been given ‘the choice’ talk. The most dramatic example of this was shortly after John McCain was elected to the Senate and before he swore his oath of office. It goes sort of this way, a very senior Republican, possibly another Senator, sort John M out and offered him his hand. Before John boy could extend his hand this VIP waved him off and asked him this simple question; ‘John you do know that the North Vietnamese held back a number of US POWS’s as insurance that Nixon would come through with his his verbal pledge made to Le Duc Tho by Kissinger that the US would find someway to pay the commies a big ‘reparations’ (remember Obama and the Iranian cash pallets). Clearly Kissinger said this couldn’t be put on paper but if the Viets would agree to letting almost all the prisoners go it would be a deal, you have RN’s word of honor. Now Nixon was never going to do any such thing and he looked on the POW’s as just a big photo op prop to jack up his poll numbers. So the Viets figured this out especially after Nixon’s ‘history making’ trip to China and just killed all the prisoner’s they held back. So now John one of Washington’s biggest secrets. So when you shake my hand that means you know and understand this is a secret that must never be revealed. You have a choice, shake my hand and fame and riches will be yours forevermore. Don’t shake my hand and you will have a very short and unhappy political career, and if you think you get away with revealing what I have just told you, well, (snicker) just try it and see how fast you become an international laughing stock. John boy stuck out his hand and gave this errand boy a ‘hearty handshake’. Ever wonder why John M went nuts when anybody mention the unaccounted for POW’s. Now you know. This is not fake.
No kidding. I wasn’t surprised at all by Shelby’s vote, but I expected so much more out of Tommy T. I don’t trust him anymore. He’s just one of Mitch’s now.
UNI PARTY AT IT’S BEST.
Great question
We’ve already pasted the point of no return, elections are all rife with fraud, we will never have real elections that matter. Not that we ever had them nefore.
