The Dumpter Fire Omnibus Bill Goes From Bad to Worse in Mind-Numbing Ways
RedState ^ | 10:45 AM on December 25, 2022 | Bonchie

Posted on 12/25/2022 1:33:07 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The $1.7 trillion omnibus bill has passed congress, and it’s such a dumpster fire that it wasn’t even technically ready for the president’s signature.

No, I’m not kidding. Congress apparently passed a bill that wasn’t prepared to be signed. They then had to pass another continuing resolution to keep the government running in the meantime. If that’s not the perfect metaphor for how awful our federal government is, then one doesn’t exist.

The authors of the Constitution should have insisted on term limits.

As smart and foresighted as our forefathers were, they just couldn't envision how corrupt and evil our political class would become. Maybe they figured that we would've hung or shot a few of them before things got this bad. I don't know that our forefathers could have foreseen a professional political or bureaucratic unaccountable class. We are truly being screwed by the uni-party.

I blame it on the 17th amendment.

As corrupt as the state legislatures may have been during Reconstruction, giving up the power to replace Senators is what led to the current state of the power of incumbency in Senatorial elections.

We can't get rid of them now. They have become disconnected from the states they supposedly "represent."

"I blame it on the 17th amendment."

I agree... It would be wonderful if "we the people" could get enough states together to fix this problem..

I'll bet the feds would use the justice department to fight the states "tooth and nail" against any effort to correct the it....

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

To: Amendment10

What the Constitutionally-minded States need to do is prepare for the fiscal collapse of the Blue Empire so their places can be where people can live, accumulate assets, and earn income without being at the mercy of the Blue Imperial System. Those who depend on the Blue Empire for their survival - i.e. Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, etc - had better prepare themselves for its collapse. This will help ensure that there can be some stability in the lives of people as the collapse occurs.

The other side is already preparing for their way of doing things. Those who lose favor will have their social media accounts restricted, assets frozen and lose access to being able to use electronic money, get their cars recharged, and more. These Blue fanatics would love to have full power in America like Xi has in China or Putin has in Russia. Its vitally important to ensure there are places in America that can’t be derailed by the fiscal collapse of the Blue Empire.

I would hope that the Rule of Law could prevail. But these Blue thugs took those oaths to uphold the Constitution, they are massively violating our 9th/10th Amendment rights, and continue to take insurrection actions like this 1.7T Omnibus to cause the system to collapse.

“Congress passing this $1.7 Trillion bill is like watching a Target Store being looted in Minneapolis.

Everyone is trying to grab as much as they can, and get out before the place burns down.”

Very well put.

“Vote for RINOs because the worst RINO is a 1000 times better than the best Democrat, they said.

Spit.”

Remember when Trump, not so long ago, seriously contemplated formong a 3rd party? There was a gaint, coordinated “NO!!!” response from otherwise so-called conservative social sites. Including FR.

How would we have been worse off?

They way out is term limits. And the current crop, or any in the last 100 years, will never do it.

BUT, Convention Of States can do it. And we are pushing hard. We’re not far off.

Look up the COS movement. No “permission” from anyone fed needed, including Congress.

States can do it on their own. And we will.

A fine quote.! And that list of abuses listed in the Declaration, that the king committed against the states, needs to be compared to whats happening to us this very day...
We all need to reread our past history and rediscover who we are as a people..
And Perhaps a long look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we still have that same love for freedom that the founders had, or are we truly nothing more then sheep being kept by wolves..

If it takes a couple of weeks to get the bill together, can’t the new Congress just nix it? Does McCarthy have the nads?
