Senate Passes Insane $1.7 Trillion Short Term Bill

It’s so wonderful

See, Tillis doesn’t have to worry about re-election till 2026, and he’s expecting North Carolinian’s to have forgotten stuff like this. I mean, where to even start? There’s so much insane in there, and so many perks for Democrats, almost nothing for Republicans. Let’s look at just one insane thing

Senate passes $1.7 trillion government funding bill that would overhaul U.S. election law

The Senate voted Thursday to pass a $1.7 trillion government funding bill, sending it to the House to avoid a holiday shutdown. (snip)

The bill also includes nearly $45 billion in aid to Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at a joint meeting of Congress that U.S. support is “crucial” in helping it fend off Russian aggression. The package includes $9 billion for weapons and more than $15 billion in economic and humanitarian aid.

The war folks loved this. No Title 42 protection, a section that limits the operations of Custom And Border Patrol in regards to illegal aliens, $20 million for an abolish ICE group, and more dumb

The legislation also includes a rewrite of an 1887 federal election law to close loopholes that then-President Donald Trump and his team sought to exploit on Jan. 6, 2021, to make it harder for presidential candidates to steal elections. It would also grant extra funds to the Justice Department for Jan. 6 prosecutions. (a couple paragraphs of Trump being Trump)

Proponents of the changes say that the 1887 law is poorly written and that it was never intended to give the vice president such power — and that the new legislation would make that abundantly clear.

“It’s going to stop the kind of stuff we saw on Jan. 6, where a sitting president tried to take the election and become dictator of this country,” Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, a moderate Democrat, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “It’s an important piece of legislation that was worked on in a bipartisan way.”

It’s just unhinged stuff that is unrelated to funding the government, because Democrats are deranged over J6. Right now it requires one each in the House and Senate to object. The update would require one-fifth of lawmakers from both chambers of Congress to disrupt the certification process. There’s just so much insane in this “funding” bill, little of which will actually help Americans. Except those private businesses given earmarks because they have a hookup in Congress.

    The war folks? Teach you were a super fan boi of the Afghan war which cost 100s times as much.
    The Ukraine war is bleeding of Putin’s military and political strength. It has been invaluable in showing China to rethink it’s decisions about trying to take Taiwan the bill has strengthened NATO by showing other countries Sleepy Joe is not afraid to use a big stick in defending any European country from Putin. Trump wanted to weaken NATO, Biden made it stronger
    It also showed how stupid Trump was to call Putin’s invasion of Ukraine ‘genius”

      Nothing you stated there is factual. Are you capable of saying anything other than programmed propaganda?

    Hairy, Trump just wanted NATO members to pay their fair share. ‘

    And Putin did not start any wars during his term.

    The little fat kid in N Korea stopped shooting missiles over Japan.

    A bunch of Muslim states signed an agreement to not fight.

    Sounds like a good deal to me.

    In short Hairy, you lie.

    It’s scary, but this ignorant clod now DOES qualify as a “moderate”. Most of them live full-time in la-la land.
