“Nears”? In the standard trite, hackneyed, cliched way “news” is written, I thought deadlines always “loom.” Helps foster the impression of the phony baloney urgency of passing this abomination

I would love to see AOC reaction to multiple tents set up outside her D. C.. Digs
That would make the little commie cry for real.
But she’d demand the invaders be taken away in handcuffs. (not aircuffs, her personal preference)

I just informed both of my Arkansas turncoat senators that if they vote for this, I’ll do everything in my power to ensure they get primaried out of office.
Probably won’t do any good unless several thousand do the same.

If you see this omnibus fail, you’ll probably see Biden try to order the money by fiat

I usually trust Cotton more than my other senator. No idea why he would vote for this.

The Left is working feverishly to make numerous major system crash in the same general time period, most especially the financial sectors, so that our one and only response will be to say that "only big government is big enough to fix this huge mess. We must give them unlimited money, power, control, and authority, and punish anyone who isn't on board." The loss of life or wealth or prestige or human rights are all irrelevant. Exactly correct analysis. There is no way all of this is not on purpose. It is a raw attempt to force us to totalitarianism. A LOT of people are going to die.

I forget who it was that pointed out the government shuts down every Saturday and Sunday, and nobody notices. Just shut it down another day or two, say Monday and Friday. The world won’t end.
