House Voting Today on 5,600 Page Pork-Filled COVID Package No-One Has Read, McConnell Wants Unanimous Consent…

Good grief the UniParty is in full swing and they don’t even care what our opinion is about this massive $2.5 TRILLION (approximated because it hasn’t been scored) COVID/Omnibus spending bill that totals over 5,600 pages.  [LINK TO BILL]

The actual 5,600 page bill wasn’t populated for public review until shortly after noon this afternoon and staff had an issue putting it on-line.  Incredibly, and in keeping with the previous approach preferred by congress, the House plans on voting on this bill today; and Mitch McConnell wants the Senate to pass it by unanimous consent (no recorded votes).

My rough review shows an approximately 70/30 split on the $900+ billion COVID package.  Approximately 30 percent +/- of the bill will actually help working class families and businesses on Main Street.  Approximately 70 percent of the bill will go to political donors, special interests, environmental lobbyists, K-Street groups who wrote the bill, foreign interests, Wall Street and corporate beneficiaries.  [Scour the Bill Here]

(Via AP) The total price tag of the bill clocks in at at least $2 trillion, but the no one yet knows the bill’s final cost. That’s because the legislation was introduced just hours before the expected votes, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper, the Joint Committee on Taxation, won’t have time to publish an estimate of the total of all the credits, deductions, and special preferences before the bill likely becomes law, according to Bloomberg News.

In addition to the many provisions on COVID-19 relief, the behemoth bill packages a wide variety of measures big and small, including a human rights bill focused on Tibet, the establishment of two new Smithsonian museums, a provision on “doping” in horse racing, and a measure that seeks to protect patients from surprise medical bills. The bill also funds the federal government through Sept. 30 of next year.

The House is expected to vote on the legislation later Monday before it heads to the Senate, where Senate leaders hope to pass it by unanimous consent. President Trump has indicated he’ll sign the bill. (LINK)

The first broken promise of Trump’s presidency. He promised to never sign another gigantic Omnibus bill again. And he is now about to break his promise by signing this abomination of a bill the no one read!

Ever since WordPress shut TCTH down, we have been inundated with trolls who think they are cleverly swaying opinion with comments like:
broken promises; all is lost;
what we need to do after Biden takes office;
Abandon GOP (ie. lose Senate) to “show them”;
other obvious and lame efforts.

Price of success, flack over target and all that. It’s not effective but it is annoying, like buzzing flies.

he won’t sign it, he said so in a video address. but what the heck is in this monster that Pelosi agreed to 2000 so quickly? it has a section forbidding Trump from the insurrection act which is dangerous. McConnell the POS said he can override Trump’s veto. their masks are off and not their covid ones.

Difference between Senator Cruz and cortez, he voted nay (so I have read) and she voted yea. Oddly enough, Tlaib voted nay, I wonder if she felt spending too low.

How much more evidence do you need that how we vote doesn’t matter? Go ahead, create an opposition party, but it’s been laid open for all to see that unless your new party controls the voting mechanism it won’t go anywhere. And, if your opposition party does control the voting mechanism it is then no better than what you’re trying to get rid of.
Right now, I don’t see a reason to bother voting ever again. Not when it is clear it doesn’t matter how I vote because someone else, who is probably associated with a foreign government, can simply invalidate my selection and then decide I voted for someone different.

Looks like their pretty much well on the way. Obama must be loving this while he’s giving directives from his basement:
How to create a Socialist State according to Alinsky:
-control healthcare and you control the people
-increase poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control
-INCREASE THE DEBT TO AN UNSUSTAINABLE LEVEL, THAT WAY YOU CAN INCREASE TAXES and this will increase poverty
-remove peoples ability to defend themselves, Gun Control creates a police state
-take control of every aspect of their lives, food, housing.. welfare
-take control of what people read and listen to, take control of what children learn (common core)
-remove the belief in God from Government and schools
-divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This creates more discontent and it’s easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

I’ve written the Whitehouse, asking President Trump to please not sign and to veto this unconscionable bill! I cannot believe it, well, I can, but the utter gall. Pelosi can take her $600 crumbs and shove it. McConnell thinks he’s safe for another 6 years in his seat but who knows what may happen, a recall, a petition. I’d like to expose the fraud that elected him. And I have the worst senators, Portman and Brown. They really don’t care what we think. The outrageous redistribution of our money all over the world.

And then I read on Gateway Pundit what the World Economic Forum has in mind for us. Eating bugs, weeds, fungus while they dine on caviar and prime beef. They don’t want us eating meat anymore.

President Trump is our only hope against this. May God see to it that the truth is exposed, the evil rooted out, and justice served.

This is an absolute joke. $600 to help Americans but this is what they are giving to other countries on our dime..
$169,739,000 to Vietnam, including $19 million to remediate dioxins (page 1476).
Unspecified funds to “continue support for not-for-profit institutions of higher education in Kabul, Afghanistan that are accessible to both women and men in a coeducational environment” (page 1477).
$198,323,000 to Bangladesh, including $23.5 million to support Burmese refugees and $23.3 million for “democracy programs” (page 1485).
$130,265,000 to Nepal for “development and democracy programs” (page 1485).
Pakistan: $15 million for “democracy programs” and $10 million for “gender programs” (page 1486).
Sri Lanka: Up to $15 million “for the refurbishing of a high endurance cutter,” which is a type of patrol boat (page 1489).
$505,925,000 to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama to “address key factors that contribute to the migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States” (pages 1490-1491).
$461,375,000 to Colombia for programs related to counter narcotics and human rights (pages 1494-1496).

Apologies if already mentioned, but I saw a tweet saying that this also includes an amendment to the insurrection Act! Would make Prez get approval of Congress before deploying military within US during civil unrest.
