hno:
99% of the Feds have their hand in the cookie jar. It's disgusting. Both parties.
Just take a look at the net worth of the Clintons and the Obamas. As exhibit A. What they were worth before they took office, vs when they left. The Bidens a different animal. As that guy took advantage for his whole family for 50 years.
Senators? Congressmen? Just take a look at this bill. There's only one reason why all that pork shit is thrown in. Because the one's that threw it in are making millions off it.
Fucking disgusting.
Oh the irony
I for one refuse to debate superficial arguments. Bore the shit out of me, and it's a huge waste of time
Democrats want to give illegal aliens the sun and moon while you get $600.
5,593 pages written by lobbyists and special interests proving once again this is no longer a government by the people, for the people.
This IS the swamp striking back sticking it to hardworking Americans, and just an appetizer of what's to come!

Whether Trump signs this bill or the next one for $2,000, it's a total Covid shit sandwich. As one crooked politician once said, "what difference does it make?"
Without a line-item veto, you can't blame Trump. That would be like blaming Reagan when Democrats stabbed him in the back on amnesty.
We see the evil, institutionalized corruption and multi trillion dollar grift any president has to deal with when these massive dysfunctional bills like Obamacare, the "stimulus", or whatever useless omnibus spending bill hit the executive desk.
If you take a cup of ice-cream and a quart of dog shit and mix 'em together the result will taste more like the latter than the former.
That's today's reality, until Americans finally have enough of this bullshit and DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Anyone who believes the "compassionate" sloganeering or engages in childish political games is a total ignoramus and should NOT vote! (JohnnyMac, I'm looking right you, you gaslighting moron!)

Agree
Disagree. I think it's apparent the OP did not read the bill and simply regurgitated some talking points on twitter or some article he read. And since it's been almost two days and nothing new has come out on the internet, I think it's safe to say the total amount of pork is less than 1/2%. If what you claim is the case, Americans would get like $3 instead of $600 to make it similar to what has been given to foreign countries. But I know people want to bitch, so bitch away.
Oink Oink! Donald Trump May Pocket Pork Package
Dec 24, 2020
As we reported previously, Donald Trump is no fan of The Great $900 Billion, 5593-page Congressional Covid Con Job. This is because the only thing it stimulates in a rational person is a gag reflex as they choke on the billions of dollars in pork being shoveled down their throat just before Christmas.
However, while Donald Trump will likely veto the bill, it is even more likely that he will use a ‘pocket veto’ to do so.
A pocket veto simply means the president will choose to take no action on the bill, effectively tabling the discussion so he can run out the clock before the start of the next Congressional session. The rules state that, if Congress adjourns within the 10-day period and the president does not sign the bill, it is automatically vetoed, and the veto is absolute. By doing this rather than an official presidential veto, the President does not risk his presidential veto of this Stimulus Swindle being overridden by Congress. By placing the veto figuratively in his back pocket until later, no such override vote can take place and no Covid pork package can be passed. So even though it isn’t officially vetoed, it is effectively vetoed. Most presidents end up using the pocket veto, though Trump has not, yet, used it during his first term as president.
We can’t be sure what Trump will do. He might even decide to sign the bill. However, Trump was scheduled to fly to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Wednesday and had no other events on his schedule. So, we suspect he had this $900 billion dollar spending bill in his back pocket as he sat on the flight.
And we hope it stayed there, despite what our chiropractor says.
