It's not so much that there are strings per se. Rather, it's that the bills seem to be drafted by the CCP to turn America into an Orwellian authoritarian dystopia

because this is how a lot of them get kickbacks, and they're used to people not being politically aware enough to actually care enough to look at what is in the bills. This is business as usual for them.

You still think politicians work for us, ha. Politicians do not work for us, they work for something else that we kinda know.

Did you know that our congressman don't even write bills anymore? Lobbyists write everything. That's not hyperbole; lobbyists literally write our laws.

They just want the optics of Trump vetoing it.

They can’t write a bill without pork because they need money. They pass that bill watch the money immediately disappear right back to them

Every single Republican that was standing against all the Dem pork this whole time was waiting to see if they could make the steal against Trump stick.

They think they have, so it doesn't matter what they do anymore, it doesn't matter that they turned on every single one of us. They get re-"elected" anyway

Not enough people have seen an actual "pork barrel" for this term to mean anything these days. We should probably just start calling it "trash can" politics.

Agreed - give us a clean bill of $600 without all the other crap, and otherwise the Dems can f_ off.

Just asked Sidney, Lin Wood, Gen Flynn to ask Trump not to sign it.
