First, some context: ♦ A trillion dollars is one-thousand billions. ♦ A trillion seconds is 31,709 years. ♦ The last federal budget that went through regular order was signed into law in September of 2007. ♦ Today is December 23rd. ♦ Obamacare was passed in the Senate December 23, 2009.
Today, the Democrat controlled House of Representatives has just passed the Senate constructed $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. The massive spending bill now blocks the incoming Republican congress from impeding the Biden agenda and heads directly to the installed occupant of the White House for signature.
Most of the House republicans who voted to approve the spending bill are retiring, they include: Liz Cheney (WY), Rodney Davis (IL), Brian Fitzpatrick (AL), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), Chris Jacobs (NY), John Katko (NY), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Fred Upton (MI), and Steve Womack (AR).
The 2022 Omnibus bill includes $45 billion for Ukraine in addition to changes in election laws intended to block the American people from interfering in the legislative business of Washington DC in the future.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi celebrated the House passage calling the bill “truly a package for the people,” where people are defined as those who live and congregate in Washington DC to indulge themselves at taxpayers’ expense. There is no larger disconnect.
Speaker Pelosi continued by saying, “members have planes to catch, gifts to wrap, carols to sing, religious services to attend to,” she said, adding that the time reminded her of an English song: “Christmas is coming, goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man’s hat.” No, I’m not making that up – she said that.
WASHINGTON DC – The House on Friday approved a mammoth $1.7 trillion funding package, capping a chaotic week as party leaders dashed to avoid a shutdown and an intensifying winter storm just days before Christmas.
It passed on a 225-201 vote, with one Democrat, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), voting present. Nine Republicans, most of whom are leaving after this Congress, voted for the bill, while one Democrat voted against it: New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. (read more)
I think we all know what comes next…..
They have pizza parties to attend
Let me guess, special order pizzas from south of the border?
Republicans are democrats. No difference anymore.
Don’t forget the hotdogs.
And pasta.
Walnut sauce optional.
Plus an extra helping of debachary
What in the world are you guys referring to?
Sarc
Pizzagate, Comet pizza of DC and the child porn and abduction rings via Haiti and Epstein Island
Look up “Pizzagate” and pizzagate code/slang.
And lots of spirit cooking
Bi partisan uniparty at work to deceive the people they represent and give the media a propaganda talking point. Merry Christmas my fellow treepers. Bless all that have wisdom from the lord!
No more f’s to give, BURN IT DOWN
Next year’s congress is a lame duck already.
That’s the plan. Republicans will get full blame in 2024 all by design. This omnibus bill paved the way.
The republicans are in on the scam. They don’t care if the “blame” is flung their way because there is no democrat/republican scenario. It is the UNIPARTY. It is US vs the UNIPARTY. Until you can digest that fact and stop seeing the world as dem vs rep then the Uniparty Two Step on the Potomac will continue to baffle you.
It is US vs. the Dark Force.
Hear hear
My “user” name says it all!!
I remain a Republican because in my state I have no real choice and still effect the primary’s. I give NO monies to either party, but donate to candidates that pass the smell test. (I guess that means I give very seldom)
They could vote to REPEAL IT! SEE IF THEY DO! LOL
by 2/3 in BOTH houses….LOL….in whose reality?
So, I guess this will not affect future inflation. I too have no more F’s to give I am just so mind numbed by it all.
Same as when Ryan helped pass the porkulus spending bill.
Cheney (WY), Rodney Davis (IL), Brian Fitzpatrick (AL), Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA), Chris Jacobs (NY), John Katko (NY), Adam Kinzinger (IL), Fred Upton (MI), and Steve Womack (AR).
At least 5 of the above Unicons will soon be gone, correct?
No, like a bad rash and herpes they remain, even when not visible, doing damage for their eternity.
From Congress. Short drive to K Street.
With voter integrity out the window they have nothing to fear.
Until the people have had enough….
What? We haven’t had “enough” yet? Just how much will it take before we come up with a winning strategy to defend ourselves and our country? Whatever we’re doing — not doing — isn’t working.
Sadly and tragically; It will take ‘neighbors’ dying in the streets, or frozen in their homes before any semblance of revolution is thought about.
I wonder how much more our tormenters will have to tighten the screws before everyone wakes up and feels the pain.
“Ooh, fireworks!”
So, so, so very tired of these con artists… putting the con in Con-gress.
Our most long standing Republicon Senators… working to make sure that the Uniparty agenda goes uninterrupted.
Calling it shameful doesn’t even begin to convey what I feel.
One last shiv in the rib cage of the American people before they leave office.
Looks a little like revenge for losing.
If there were any justice, they’d all be returning home to face angry mobs.
They’re hoping for angry mobs for just that-so they can J6 them and disappear them. Constitutional rights mean nothing to the elites except when it’s to their own self advantage.
That is the problem, the American People have no fight left in them.
Sad thing is that our Senate Republicans Tee’d up the ball. We have to rethink our plans.
Is it possible to begin recall campaigns.
Maybe even fund lawsuits against our Senators?
Recall campaigns can only take place if a state has statutes on the books or a section of their constitution that allows for that process.
This is why term limits will never be an effective option, imagine all of the poison constantly injected into our lives by a continuous rotation of politicians with nothing to lose. a voting and vociferous public is the only solution that is necessary to contain this plague.
…and we still have to contain the voter fraud…
Quorum?
The few good people in the House have GOT to find something to defeat this nonsense. If not, why have even they been elected…
when the dems are in they just change house rules. just need to do this to give a blocking route?
I don’t think most Republicans care what the rules are. No Republican really challenged Barack Obama or anything underhanded he did.
That Speaker of the House doesn’t look like Nancy Pelosi.
And the Senate could have demanded that the bill, in its entirety, be read on the floor…but they all could not bother to represent any of their constituents
Yes, we do know what needs to come NEXT!!!! IT really needs to be done. we are not being represented anymore.
“We The People must stand up.”
Stand up — to go to the fridge.
You are right.
Speaker Pelosi continued by saying, “members have planes to catch, gifts to wrap, carols to sing, religious services to attend to,” she said, adding that the time reminded her of an English song: “Christmas is coming, goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man’s hat.” No, I’m not making that up – she said that.
TRUTH @WallStreetApes
Since becoming Speaker of the House in 2007, Nancy Pelosi’s net worth has increased by an average of $9.3M/year
And lots of high end expensive ice cream to eat!!!
The have succeeded in raping the American people.
But go get that goose Nanschy.
Her vulgarity knows no bounds.
On the contrary, she flaunts it. Vulgarity is her defining trait.
can’t the new congress just repeal it?
Not enough in the Senate
convenient how that happened.
Just like how successive Congress’s didn’t have enough votes to repeal Obamacare. Even with all those that run as Tea Party types.
Ready made campaign issues never to be resolved.
And no President to sign it.
Only the Odious Occupant.
The vote counting machines run by the Communists have destroyed our country from within.
One word…McConnell.
He’s like dog poop, you step on it and can’t get rid of the stink. Republicans like their dog poop.
All of the Senators that’s passed it.
Cornyn, here in Texas.
The question needs to be put to Americans:
How do you get representation when elections are not really elections and when the citizenry can’t know truths because media won’t report actual news?
You’re really not a “citizen” of anything anymore. You’re just a tax paying peon soon to be slave to the global order. What advantages does one have as a “citizen” ? To have worked, sacrificed for what you have, all your life, when others are “entitled” to the fruits of your labor by just walking across the former border ?
Cash cow…tax slave….peasant.
Jefferson is quoted as saying there are TWO forms of slavery……physical slavery and economic slavery…..we have been under the latter for a long time in America
Nailed it.
The corporate media tried to make it look as though there is consent (in effect), if only to historians in decades to come.
The world is in a crisis: non-patriotic administrations who do not represent The People(s). It is a global phenomena.
The Great Disconnect as Sundance observes.
Just remember: God shall not be mocked.
They certainly have done that. None of them believe in God. They do believe in Soros so there’s that.
There’s a difference between not believing in God and hating God.
They are on the darkest end of that scale.
Although I respect this post and its meaning, God has never saved anyone from tyrants, in our lifetimes. Our God has physical limitations, he isnt going to smite these people.
Millions upon millions have died under regimes such as this one. No God present to stop the slaughters.
Jesus nor God stopped them. You know this.
We cannot rely on God to sort these people out, there is no one coming to save, except ourselves. Should I be wrong, and I hope i am, that is one thing, but history proves, the freedoms of man, must be won by battling the demons.
We are asked to carry God’s sword, for a reason…..
in other words free will, most do accept, respect, nor understand the huge responsibility that entails.
Conclusion: Since the House is already hamstrung dollar wise for next year, they should spend all their time investigating the criminals among them.
“ even loss and betrayal can bring us an awakening” Buddha.
I am wide awake and won’t go back to sleep.
Economies are collapsing, many western nations are being held together with duct tape and illusions.
Amazing to watch, particularly the “ elites” arrogance.
Once ignited the venom for these evil doers may be difficult to contain.
Shoplifting is rife in our somewhat affluent area, catalytic converters are being stolen and sold for scrap. An upscale condo complex in our town recently had a break in to the U/G parking lot.
Six vehicles had there convertors stolen.
We now have dozens of homeless youngsters uptown obviously in the later stages of fentynal abuse.
Little of this existed a few years back..
We’ll see back a reckoning is coming.
Cheers!
The catalytic converters contain platinum, palladium and rhodium. Those precious metals can bring in a tidy sum of cash.
Let it burn down already.
Though, some fireworks may be in order.
Remember when you say burn it down that 40% of the budget/deficit/debt(12 trillion dollars) is Medicare/SS.
When it all comes down, SS/Medicare goes with it.
Would say it’s inevitable with the accelerating debasement of the dollar.
How long could the government remain solvent without continuous inflation to roll-over old debt?
The way the financial system is setup precludes that possibility.
SS and Medicare are eventually going away.
Once the petro-dollar is deposed, all bets are off.
Justgive me all the money that was confiscated from me for those 45 years (and that my employers contributed, too, which was part of my compensation) to pay into those systems and then I don’t care if they go away. In fact they should.
Good. The state is not your daddy.
TRAITORS ALL!
https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/22/traitors/
I don’t think we should be surprised at the names here, but I’m not really sure it would have mattered if they didn’t support it. The bill would have passed anyway with only dem votes.
These nine are particularly ugly creeps, but the Senate has 45+ GOP creeps and the House will have 200 GOP creeps in January.
By the time Nov 2024 rolls around, you will be so sick of the GOP that you’ll never vote for any of them again. I really think that’s the goal of the Uniparty. They want to GOP base to go away even if it means they go too. That’s how much they hate you.
Merry Christmas you peasants!! They don’t care about us!! President Trump does/did!!!
The self serving corruptocRats screwed us again.
“I think we all know what comes next . . .” – sadly true.
I know what would occur in a prison if a handful of people did this to the prison population.
These are for $100 bills. Multiply height figures by 100 for $1 bills:
“To the moon, Francis, to the moon!”
Multiply by 30 for the 30 trillion of debt. It’s probably more by now.
With an additional compounding double digit multiplier to account for unfunded liabilities.
Try 80? Why do we even have to pay it back? With that amount of debt, don’t we own the Fed?
The total amount of unfunded Federal liabilities is around $300 trillion.
If this makes it another decade, it might make it to Alpha Centauri.
I better start climbing now then, won’t wanna be here at such a time.
*shrug*
Good luck with that. Just watch that relativity if you manage to get atop that. It’ll be a doozy.
Congress doesn’t know how many zeros in Billion let alone a Trillion. They truly are that stupid.
They’ve set fire to the economy/country and are standing by, enthralled by their handiwork, as it burns to the ground. What more do they need to do … salt the earth?
Don’t give them any more ideas.
Back in 2008, when the “t” (trillion) word was first being uttered in the same sentence as “bailout” and “budget,” I was a high school mathematics teacher. I assigned all my ninth grade students a project to find some way to contextualize a trillion. Some came up with Sundance’s number of years, some with something similar to Winston’s distance graphic, and I even remember one student came up with one about a trillion pounds weighing more than 200 times the weight of all the elephants existing in the world. I don’t believe most people can even begin to conceive of how big a trillion is, much less 30 trillion. Maybe a few of my students from back then do…
This is also in the above quoted article:
Privately, however, House Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief that the issue of government funding will be off their plate for the time being, particularly as they prepare to enter the majority with a paper-thin majority.
The only reason it is “paper thin” (which if it was a Dem majority would be declared a landslide) is because of all the traitors who will vote with the Dems at all times.
The GOPe will always manage to produce such traitors, for most all of them are, and most that aren’t can still be corrupted or coerced to take the hit of stepping out of their huddled herd of decepticons to publicly jab the shiv into the back of America.
We need a second party.
The only reason they have a paper thin majority is because the Uniparty wants it that way. Placing the republican name on the masthead temporarily deflects blame as the uniparty once again plays good cop-bad cop diversion tactics under the circus spotlight. We all line up to hate the chosen target and simultaneously praise the false god of government placed at center stage. All the while both parties work behind the curtain to pad their pockets at our expense.
Most Republicans are actually Democrats. There are no Democrats that are actually Republicans.
What comes next? Inflation accelerating to hyper status. Won’t be pretty.
Major depression. Along with economic collapse.
CBDC is looming. 1984 is actually almost non-fiction.
Food shortages. Astronomical food and energy costs.
Housing and vehicle repossessions.
Underground local trade and barter systems will develop.
We are living the prequel to 1984.
With the exponential tyrannical multiplier of technology even Orwell could not imagine.
FTA The bill was “truly a package for the people” Pelosi concluded. No Kiss, No KY. “I at least like to put on lipstick so I can feel pretty before I get f%$#ed”- Eric Cartman-“South Park”
“changes in election laws intended to block the American people from interfering in the legislative business of Washington DC in the future.”
So much for of, by and for the People.
Funny “members have planes to catch, gifts to wrap, carols to sing, religious services to attend to,” but 226 voted by proxy.
If you’re going to waste my money, you could at least show up for work!
From the article below: “But most members of the House weren’t there for the vote — at least in person. More than half of them — 226 — voted by proxy.”
https://www.businessinsider.com/majority-house-not-physically-present-omnibus-spending-proxy-voting-2022-12
In a lame duck Congress two days before Christmas. Unbelievable!!
Our Congressional Agents think they are our Trustees,…. just ask them,.. and these traitors to We The People’s Will now think we need to praise them for voting in this inflation inducing Monstrosity.
More sand for the gears, please.
Accelerationism! This may not seem like it, but this is a good thing. We need everything to fall apart and everyone to hurt before we can rebuild from the ashes. This is not giving up, just a new tactic. This form of government is not working. This government was made for a high moral, religious people. Unless we get rid of the 3rd worlders and money changing parasites we will never be at peace again. Aristotle was right when he wrote that a nonhomogenous society cannot hold together. They can only be ruled by despots. Move to red states and make them more red. Hold the line and keep a homogenous society.
I am STEAMING!!! Some powerhouse we are.
“The 2022 Omnibus bill includes $45 billion for Ukraine “
That should be enough money for Zelinsky to keep the war going long enough for the Russians to kill another 100,000 Ukrainian troops.
Why does Zelinsky hate Ukrainian troops so much? Why does the US Congress hate Ukrainian troops so much?
Because they are White nationalists. All of those need to be killed off. Russian nationalists are even in Ukraine after Putin cracked down on them. The people behind Putin also hate White nationalists like zelensky and his bosses.
Christmas would be sweet to see them all hanging like decorations from branches of trees for their treason against America
A nice FU we get for Christmas. Who reading here gets a nickel of the $ 1.7 trillion. Everything that this phony printed money goes toward is intended to destroy us.
Representative govt is done, get over it. Refer to George Carlin’s rant about the big club, voting, country bought and paid for a long time ago. As Ben Franklin was reputed to have said “A Republic if you can keep it”. Sadly, we’re not anything close to it any longer, it was lost many years ago and continues to divulge into an autocracy.
A final middle finger to the taxpayer
Please God. I know you are a God of justice. If these weasels are not punished for what they’ve done to this country in this world, let them suffer for eternity in the next. Let there be a special place in H3LL for Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. McConnell.
Two of the biggest traitors in the republic.
Why do you think they try so hard to stay alive, they know what is coming.
The only Representative in the House from Al that voted for this was the only. D rep. In the state – Terri Sewell.
Brian Fitzpatrick is a PA representative.
Fitz is also a former member of the Fan Belt Inspectors.
WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTING THE INCREASING INFLATION AMERICANS ARE SEEING BECAUSE OF PUTIN AND CORPORATE GREED…
excerpt from January 2023 State of the Union
…while one Democrat voted against it: New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
That’s interesting. Did she give a reason(s)?
dd, I made a comment below almost identical to yours – just now seeing your comment.
Mitt Romney Says He Voted For Pelosi-Schumer $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Bill Because He Doesn’t Trust GOP-Led House with Crafting Budget (VIDEO)
I’d love to wipe that sh!t eatin’ grin right off his smug little two-timin’ face.
With a cloth.
Wrapped around a cast iron skillet.
I was thinking something along the line of a pair of Sap Gloves.
https://tacticalgear.com/511-hard-times-2-gloves-black?ft=e3f7bec5-8df6-438f-88ce-592a9bedc97a&msclkid=7c3241a8992f18a5e011220eb7e91441#/32786/653,24410/1&dl=b&catr=1
Somebody tell the clown we haven’t had a budget since Barry took office and Willard has been in the senate for at least 6 of those budget less years while he passed CRs and omnibus bills.
Romney cannot disgust me more. Every time he opens his ridiculous mouth he all the more reveals his evil self.
No Democrat would ever utter such a thing about their own party particularly if they were about to take the majority in the house, even if said Democrat privately thought so.
Romney, the “architect”of Obamacare while governor of my state of MA.
Always has been, always will be a total snake.
That’s a “Pho-f you” smile and statement if there ever was one. And guess what, ain’t nothing going to be done about it. I keep reading we are the majority–the base. But we don’t act like it.
EXCEPT moron that is the way the US Constitution REQUIRES it to be done
AOC voted no.
Will Santa be giving those crooks some of that hidden 4.6% federal employee pay raise? Don’t forget those 18 evil GOPe senators who voted to cripple next year’s House of Representatives by voting for this nearly 2 trillion dollar boondoggle.
Yep, Uniparty is in control and we live in an FBI police state.
Because the uniparty controls the narrative and the national elections through ballot fraud it will be difficult to break our chains of bondage under the biden uniparty regime,
Biden Uniparty Regime.
The Uniparty Regime is just one party like a dictatorship.
The difference is in this country the uniparty regime portrays itself as a goverment elected by the people.
The biden uniparty regime is in power only because the election results were manipulated enough by fraud to steal the elections in 2020 and 2022.
Some people say we are a bananna republic where election outcomes are predictable.
This is true. Election outcomes by the Uniparty are now predictable.
Do I believe our Republic can be saved?
Yes.
Just tell people the truth about the matrix of deception they live in and back it up with facts.
The more people that know the truth about our corrupted govment the better.
https://republicans-judiciary.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/HJC_STAFF_FBI_REPORT.pdf
Govment for the bankers and by the bankers.
Cheney and kinzingers last insult before being shown the door.
I can no longer express my anger in anything close to polite terms, so, I’ll just comment on something that caught my eye:
“One Democrat voted against it: New York Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”
To which I say – hmmm, interesting.
Was she wearing Milton Friedman at the vote?
🙂
Hate! Should I hate these people? No, it is a waste of my energy. But, I will treat them like my ancestors did the British in the 1700’s as tyrants needing to be removed from my country by what ever means necessary. And I know there are million just like me. I would rather die, than live under these POScum tyrants rule. Back to square one or right back where we started.
We did away with God as our center and look what we have now!
The nine RINOs further confirmed that they are not Republicans, but closet Democrats. Good riddance to Cheney, Kinzinger, Upton and any others. All of you were a disgrace to the Republican Party. Don’t let the door to Congress hit you in the butt on the way out.
Forget that they aren’t Republicans. Who gives a damn, Democrat or Republican?
They aren’t AMERICANS! If they were, if they loved their country and its people, they would not have done this.
All of these people, from the ones who aren’t protecting the nation’s sovereign borders, to those who steal wealth from children not yet born….if they hold an office, they should be tried, convicted, and cast out of this country. IF need be, put them on a boat with a motor, and sent them into the sea.
GITMO
Mitch McConnell Like many in the republican party were once a Democrat!
is it any wonder why they vote with the democrats?
The republican party was taken over by the communists long ago (like every other institution and big business)
Voting will not change a thing in America.
I’d be careful about saying someone was once a Democrat. Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were both Democrats before they were Republicans. I’d just stick to the fact that they don’t really care about America.
They are criminals.
They are on the take.
Simple. It’s that easy to understand.
Criminals.
You are correct. Move to red states and take over the local governments. The only way until armed conflict which is coming .
I hope these nine have a …nice holiday…tell them to not forget to check their six.
Ranbo,
Your comment implies that the rest of the Republican Senators that voted against, actually opposed the bill which is only one of two possible explanations for their no votes;
The other equally plausible explanation was that they voted “No”, knowing the Yeas would have it, and sp their no vote would not effect the outcome,….BUT they could say, to their constituents, that they voted No.
Thats what the “squishy” votes do; they “give cover” to the rest of the RINOS to stay under cover, instead of having to go on the record.
They have thoroughly gamed the system, to avoid accountability to THE PEOPLE.
Yes!!! Just because your favorite senator voted “no” does not mean that they actually opposed the spending. Mitch & Co assembled enough Uniparty RINOs to “help” the commie dems pass the measure without exposing the rest of the corrupt RINOs to their constituents. It’s called the Uniparty Two-Step on the Potomac. Many of these “NO” votes will use this as a campaign ad saying how they oppose reckless government spending and why we need to vote for them again.
What did McConnell promise for them voting a certain way?
You know he promised something with Schumer’s blessing.
We’ve witnessed an entire governmental class turn aside after gain. Creating institutional bribery and turning Justice up-side down. It’s all about the money they’re printing for themselves.
All the schizophrenic, dangerous, and strange behavior is a natural off-shoot of the immense amount of pretending that is required for such selfishness.
The Republican Party will hand Biden victory in two years. McConnell will attend the presidential ball and hug the rotted corpse with congratulations.
The only possible way out of that is nominating McConnell’s choice. Newsflash: that wouldn’t be Trump.
I refuse to honor this R team with a name. R to me means Rejected. America is a house of cards ready to fall in the next breeze. I don’t know how that will look but I hope you won’t need that 401k.
McConnell is starting to show his age….I saw a video of him walking…he is not the young man he was two years ago.
NOPE!! YOU ARE WRONG
Explain why??
The Party ITSELF is the disgrace!! It could have assisted in a clean election in any location… But it doesn’t and didn’t.
God curse their souls… Their greatest fear is that we, the MAGA peons, will finally realize that THEY HATE US, despise us, and that they will ALWAYS BETRAY US.
AND that our ONLY worth to them has been for us to mark that ballot, so they can get to the donor class and betray us again.
And now, when they can rig the machines, they no longer even need our ballots. So they can overtly screw us ….Which is exactly what they did.
Hanging is too good for them.
