Mike Lee: GOP Support of Omnibus Spending Bills ‘Should Never Happen’ — ‘We Will Self-Destruct as a Party’
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/22/2022 4:30:29 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that Republican support of giant omnibus spending bills “should never happen” again.

Anchor Larry Kudlow said, “Senator Lee, just the last point here. I think Sen. Rand Paul put his finger on it. He was on our show a couple of nights ago. He said the GOP has lost any power of the purse, and he said the GOP has emasculated itself. This is not a good episode for the Republican Party, is it?”

Lee said, “No, not at all.”

Conveniently, Jeannine Pirro is on FOX saying this is DC Politics - “one hand washes the other.”

But, that’s not true, the Dems don’t sign off on money that will boost the Republican Machine or enrich Republican Voter priorities. They don’t send money to Republican districts to be used in purely political ways and causes.

All the Covid stuff was loaded with money for Media, Dem Cities, Black schools, LGBT worship, and Dem bundler payoffs - too.

There really is only one party. We’re pretty much back to where we were when we fought to escape from England’s rule. Except now there are no leaders among the politicians and the citizens.

Yeah, but there too many things Dior’s that haven’t figured it out.

They were left in place to neutralize Trump, again.

They’ll indict him and install Michelle Steele (RINO Tim Scott).

I do believe that now is the time for us to create the MAGA party and vote for Trump.

We've got some here who think that Trump is destroying the party and who are on McConnell's and Paul Ryan's side about what needs to be done.

SMH.

There should never be any sort of omnibus bill at all, and there should be no amendments and riders on any bill that don’t pertain directly to that bill’s narrowly-defined subject.

And the whole idea of any spending bills being passed during the lame-duck session of Congress is simply insane. Where else do fired employees get to continue to direct their organization’s spending?

As soon as any congressman loses reelection, he should be given a cardboard box for his stuff and escorted off the premises five minutes later.

They can’t help themselves.

It started with Covid - and they packed it with woke, targeted Pork. Republicans added money for the FBi.

They kept doing it with no restraint whatsoever.

A Dem Gov broke from the crowd, and called the Covid fraud over - and lifted Mask Mandates statewide. Approx five days later, the Russia/ Ukraine fight envelopes the News with Propaganda - and the same exact spending patterns carry over with Holy Ukraine being the reason for our existence, and the same Woke groups and causes get rich again, and the FBi gets even more money.

It’s not going to stop, it’s a way to funnel money to their off shore accounts and enrich their friends and future business partners.

I guarantee you, this will go on for at least six more years - and bankrupt the country. Much higher taxes will be mandated by the same people robbing the bank now.

The last two times the GOPe won the house they were tossed out as fast as they came in. Why this time would be any different would be like whistling past the graveyard...

The reason the ‘red wave’ didn’t materialize is because it would appear that people are done voting for the lesser of evils. The GOPe has earned its percentage of the uniparty and this has led to a slow death, based on the last generation they’ll get tossed in 2026.

All kabuki theater for him.

He’s been pushing for foreign tech workers for years to satisfy all the tech companies that set up shop in Utah.

Now is the time. He should do it while the iron is hot. We’ll lose either way at least we can send a message.

Will?

What mean, “Will”?

How about “Just did”?

If we cannot get rid of the House, Senate and party leadership, there is no hope, even then the hope is slim. We need a whole new party.
