Dubbed "the ugliest omnibus bill ever" by the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board Wednesday, the massive spending bill includes tens of billions of dollars in new aid to Ukraine along with bipartisan policy changes on Medicaid, new disaster relief funding, and investments in programs addressing child care, nutrition assistance and affordable housing.
However, the bill also includes numerous concessions to the Democratic side to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
(Snip)
For the next several days at least, Democrats will still control both chambers, leaving little incentive for Republicans to play along.
Graham—like several of his other colleagues—appears to be calling McCarthy's bluff.
Ahead of the Wednesday vote, Graham told Axios reporter Alayna Treene that while he planned to vote for the omnibus bill, it would be "the last time" he does.
"I told all our guys that this is the LAST TIME we're gonna vote for a train wreck,"

“I told all our guys that this is the LAST TIME......”
Until the next time.
Graham is pretty much anybody’s dog that will ..a.a.a.. oh yeah hunt with him. And worthless as teats on a boar hog.
Isn’t it interesting that ever since his national abortion legislation announcement right before the 2022 midterm election that Lindsey Graham has never again uttered a word about that legislative initiative idea?
Fascinating how Graham’s well timed and national abortion legislation announcement just happened to significantly help Democrats sustain their anti-Republican abortion fear campaign message and helped thwart a Republican red wave. Yeah, but I’m sure that was a complete coincidence on the part of Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham is a complete RINO political snake who has done as much to damage the country and Conservatives as anyone imaginable. There is no doubt in my mind that Graham and McConnell are working together to assist Democrats.
I don’t believe him.
.
Yes! That’s the way one must view Lindsey Graham.
Follow his actions.
Time to change the game...
Convention of States with two line items:
1. Repeal the 17th Amendment
2. Eliminate the Senior Executive Service
Our Republic would be restored
Just like Charlie Brown thinks he will kick that football this time, South Carolina voters will vote the RINO back into office just to have him vote with democrats again.
The take turns so they can let a little time go by, and still get re-elected.
A skunk for sure, jesse and Hannity love this pr###
Just say “no,” Linda.
Sure thing, Linda.
Next time...ROFLMAO... if a bill makes it to the WH that has even one sentence that is pro-America and/or anti-leftist, Xiden will veto the bill. It won’t matter if the bill is 10,000 pages long with that one sentence buried in it. The GOP will strip the offending language immediately and Congress, including Last-Time-Graham, will pass it.
The GOP excuse will be ... until we control the Senate, our hands are tied. Please send more money to the RNC so we can win the Senate. Funny how this never ever happens, and it is never happens to the radical, far left demonkkraps.
“I told all our guys that this is the LAST TIME we’re gonna vote for a train wreck,”
Oh just STFU, Lindsay. No one believes you anymore.

When it comes to spending bills, constitutionally, the House of Representatives is in the driver’s seat. The Senate and President can ratify a House spending bill or do without money.
It’s that simple. People need to change paradigms. Senators and presidents have very little to do with spending money.
Sorry Linda. Dropping you drawers and bending over for the commie DemocRATS really isn’t what I’d call “bipartisan.”
It's not about spine....it's about the lesser of two evils.
Take it up on Day One...if it's shut down...you still have to negotiate.
Same cast of backstabbers every time. I hate them even more than demoncraps.
Graham is thinking like Biden. Two for the price of one.
Why not start just one vote sooner?
