What country has sent money abroad in a domestic relief package?
Pure insanity.
^This Exactly. If the money doesn't leave the country, it can't be properly "laundered" and returned to those who voted to send it. The politicians need their Christmas Bonus too!
I’m not opposed to humanitarian aid - theoretically. I actually believe that countries that have been blessed by God ought to help the less fortunate as Christ wants us to.
With that said, our house is on fire right now and these leaders want to give out the water we’re using to put out our flames. We can’t help others when we’re dead in the flames. Once we’ve got our shit handled, we can start to help others.
Also, more often than not these funds aren’t controlled and are just given out to corrupt organizations and never make it to the people to make a difference. If these countries want our help, it needs to be on the condition that we will do so with our people - with close citizen monitoring of how the funds are being utilized. Enough of this bullshit of giving billions to some IMF, World Bank, UN fund organization and only pennies make it to the people to build a water pump.
they want to squeeze America as we know it to death and replace it with a socialist totalitarian regime.
They plan to introduce "basic income" and abolish paper money for digital currency, so you are dependent on them not shutting you off.
January 6th is the day to stop this!
As soon as I start my new job I am investing heavily in gold and silver coins.
I think the play here is to draft a bill so ridiculous Trump will HAVE to veto it, then the MSM will spin it as Trump being against the average American. Standard swamp maneuver.
it was passed with a veto proof majority...
I wish people would stop repeating this. It's not immune to pocket veto.
How does a pocket veto work in this case with Trump also needing to correct the stolen election? Because wouldnt trump need to temporarily disband congress at time he needs at least 2 of them to object to the election results?
I don't claim to be an expert, but as far as I'm aware, he just has to do nothing with the bill for 10 days, and let Congress go into recess. If they still want to get it past him when they reconvene, the process has to begin all over again.
I'm not sure how (if at all) it ties in with the Stop the Steal efforts. Presumably someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.
McConnell has deliberately never let congress go into recess for 4 years. They won’t go to recess now when their pork Bill is on the line
Yeah there ya go.... Then 12 million people get to run out of money, food and get kicked out of their homes while Trump just sits there... That'll be a reeeeally good look... That won't give them a reason to attack him when he needs the support the most at all will it....🙄 .. I know 2 families close to me who's factory closed down and are probably gone forever and they are barely surviving on UI which is less than half what they were making ... Their last check is Sunday along with millions of others..
Schumer and McConnel have just got together to stop Trump vetoing the Defense bill so I'm sure these crooks can do whatever the fuck they want to continue being swamp.
Except the Average American hates this bill
That's exactly their plan.
Keep voting republican no matter who they are, it's working out great!
We have to. Democrats are the enemy and NOT voting Republican is what got us impeachmentwnt
The republicans had the house and senate for the entire first two years of the Trump Presidency. They did nothing but obstruct, delay and complain about him the entire time. He hasn't even left office and the republicans are pretending he doesn't exist, as though he has never existed and as though nothing is any different than the time before Trump's election. They are already back to business as usual, in lockstep with the dems and foreign interests that want to destroy this country from the ground up. You are deluded if you think the republicans somehow represent you or are any better than the demsocrats.
Stop generalizing. You're basically saying you'd rather not vote for King David, when he is running against Satan. You know very well that majority in congress matters. Ask yourself this, would you rather have Ted Cruz in the intelligence committee because you voted to give the Republicans a majority, or Schiff because your childish mind decided to "stick it to the rino"?
Are you calling Mitch McConnell King David and a man after God's own heart?
The same man who goes around and tries to intimidate the good guys to turn against each other and breaks down positive morale. To be honest.. That sounds more like Satan.. At least with the enemy, we are all united against them. How do you unite against someone who poisons you in the night and blames someone else?
I gave an example. But you seem to think a Democrat Majority is better than a Republican Majority (even with rinos) so we're done here.
Your argument holds no weight. Good bye.
party lines no longer matter. AMERICA FIRST.
Wow... you know NOTHING about how politics work...
Wrong. You cuckservatives giving in and working across the aisle are the problem.
Geez you're a moron...
So I'm a "cuckservative working across the aisle" because I said we need to keep a Republican majority?? The fuck are you smoking??
Its 900 billion stimulus + 1.4 trillion in "government funding bill" so technically that other crap is all coming from the 1.4 bill.
It's been 20 weeks since federal unemployment boost ended. And they are not back dating any of those 20 weeks. That is hitting people very hard to spit in their face with only $600
It's the UI that people need... Everyone is focused on the 600 ... I don't want to hear anyone who has had a job through all this fucking complain about getting 600 bucks.... I have some friends that have lost EVERYTHING and UI is all they have... They will not have a real Christmas and they are barely keeping the heat on.... If this bill gets delayed any longer they will run out of money and I don't know what they will do??? We live in a small town and they factory was all people had around here.... Trump is between a rock and a hard place... If he sits on this or delays it millions of people will totally run out of options
The AMERICA LAST bill
It should be called the America Last CHYNA Bill
Passed the senate 92 to 6. His veto will condone the bill, but it won’t stop it.
pocket veto. wait long enough the next congress has to redo
the vote in georgia is already fixed. we know that. And we are pissed over this POS of a bill. We want him to veto it. Its not just the right that is upset over this. The left is as well
I saw a report that they had it all laid out that Trump was to lose, McConnell was to win and at least one gop win in the run off to keep it even.... That is what I read the plan was... Everything else in that thing has been right.. if Kelly wins I'll know it was truly a leak
would not surprise me at all. we need term limits. we need the repeal of the 17th amendment, and we need fair and honest elections. we have none of this and are fucked. we need the states to call a constitutional convention and fix some of this or we are done for. the american experiment will be over
and Trump has to be in office come Jan 20
Totally agree ... ESPECIALLY in term limits!! No more Kings and Queens pulling the strings in the background
Uh...or it would energize Republican voters ?? Who the fuck knows anymore
There is a reason Ethereum just shot up in price. The dollar is dead now.
Not a stimulus bill. It's an omnibus spending bill that they do all the time.
The good thing is that citizens are starting to wake up to the corruption.
The best christmas miracle ever would be the refusal by Donald J Trump to refuse to sign this garbage.
Don’t forget 4 billion dollars for Bill Gates to vaccinate children in other countries!!!
The swamp thinks it's back to normal. I hope Trump refuses to sign it and shreds the bill live on TV. Not sure but the bill looks like it is veto proof, Mother fucks.
But not pocket veto proof.
This is my line in the sand. If Trump doesn’t veto, I’m off the trump train.
He can't veto it there's too many votes.. and if he pocket veto then people will starve..... Your just wanting an excuse to back out of the 6th dude..... What is he going to do?? Stop the bill which will stop MILLIONS of people from getting UI .... I know 2 families that lost their jobs and the UI is the ONLY thing keeping them afloat.. if this gets delayed they will lose their home and EVERYTHING they have.... And you're going to stop supporting him for that?? ... The timing of this was done on purpose so he couldn't veto it... People would starve to death and every single paper or news channel would put the blame solely on Trump... And it would work because millions would begin to starve.... If anything this should be a sign that we should all just go back to fucking work!!! Everyone EVERYWHERE just open your business, take off the fucking masks and go back to life as normal
But yes people would starve... I know 2 families that get their last check this Sunday... If that isn't continued they don't have enough money now to move, to go somewhere else or anything... They have NOTHING left and of that UI payment is taken too I'm not sure what they can do but starve?? They are basically starving now because one of a family of 6 and only 2 of them are collecting the UI which equals like 500 a week... For a family of 6!! ... They have NOTHING right now dude and if that little bit they do have runs out.... I just don't know what they can do about it here in the country
Very intelligent, well thought out answer!!.... People, even from our side, just react without THINKING!!! They are so ready to be mad about something they are ready to attack anything that comes from the people they don't like... It's become like the left attacking Trump for everything
$1,500 will make or break them? I’ve been saying to keep everything open since March 12, 2020. Luckily live in a red state.
If Trump passes this, he’s part of the problem.
It's the unemployment they need... That extra 300 a week for each of them will yes, save their livelihood... The 600 is a joke
Dont forget $500bn for Israel
Strange how people keep forgetting to mention only that one specific major international partner in their criticism of the bill.... veeeeerry strange indeed.
I swear they won't stop until we're a thirld-world country.
This need 5,000 more upvotes. Trump cannot sign this horror into law
I truly think people on this sight need to stop JUST being fans of Trump and actually learn how our government works!! .... Trump can not veto the bill the Senate has enough votes to override his veto .... People, we need to know what's going on in our power structure... People are starting to pay attention but this is far far bigger than just Trump and people need to start realizing that and acting accordingly.... Trump opened people's eyes! Now it's time to make sure people keep them open.... This gathering on the 6th should be about more than just keeping Trump in office... It should be about bringing back the American way and holding all these politicians accountable for the things they're doing!!! We can still win even if Trump doesn't overcome this.... I'm afraid this is all going to lead to Trump not getting in office and everyone giving up and going home and stop paying attention to what the politicians are doing!! America has woke the fuck up and it's pissed ... We can NOT allow it to fall back asleep!!!
We know this. If the Senate cucks out after a Trump veto, that only sheds more light on the corrupt uniparty at work in D.C.
I mean I guess he could do it for appearance... But if he successfully stalled this bill millions of people collecting UI (of which I know a few who are really close to me) would no longer have ANY income when they are already getting half what their factory that closed paid them.... Then when they start getting evicted and starving to death who do you think they will blame?? Just when he needs their support the most.... Government has passed a ton of shitty bills like this people are just now paying attention.... But right now is not the time to cut people off from money they need to survive...
Dont play by their rules.
Be principled and tell the American public what kind of sham a low approval Congress is trying to pull on the American people.
Congress has a low approval rating yet the same cretins keep getting voted in. How does that work?
1: Our elections are totally corrupt; we know that now.
2: Very few voters have any clear idea what their congressvermin stand for. The answer is usually "corruption," but the MSM keeps that pretty well hidden.
Media brainwashing plus rigged elections does not equal good representation.
Right but what do you do when millions of people on UI stop getting any payment at all and there is no jobs around them and they don't have money to move.... Us in the deep country don't have a lot of options.. when our local factory goes down so does our town
What's the point in having principles at all.
Our Congress knows we are too weak to fight the swamp.
Individually we are too weak to fight back.... My neighbors are on the brink of losing their home because the local factory they worked at went down and stayed down... They are both relying on unemployment and have 4 kids ... They are REALLY good people and the just want everything to go back to normal.. they don't want the hand out they worked at that factory for like 15 years or was their second home... They don't know what to do there's only little gas stations and Walmart around here..... What they, along with most Americans, want is to just get back to work... I think we should take January 6th and start a movement where EVERYONE all around the country just openness their businesses back up and ignore these lock downs and take the fucking masks off!! That's all it would take is us coming together as a country and they have NO power then..... But they successfully divided us over stupidity, ignorance and selfishness... This bill could be the thing that FINALLY unites this country!! That's what we should be pulling for... Everyone open on the 6th ... On that day we stop listening and stop letting people who are afraid of EVERYTHING dictate our lives
Pocket veto.
Line item veto that bitch.
If, and when he does. When will he do it?
Pocket veto and run the clock out on this since it passed with a majority that could override the veto
90 million for breastfeeding counselors is domestic though
This really grinds my gears. I’m just a simple blue collar worker and I’m pissed off. Just stop all the lock downs and let us go back to normal. Wear a diaper if you want to. I don’t want 600 bucks, much less giving money to other countries. What I do want is for all these traitors to be dealt with. It would be nice if they’re swing from a tree
If Trump signs this anti American grap, THEN WHY GO TO THE DC PARTY?
Jokes on them our money is worthless anyway!
The joke is always on us. They'll end up owning all the assets and property while we're stuck trying to buy food with our useless money.
92 senators voted for it
That's a veto proof super majority
veto it
Trump does that, my company and 160 people probably face going out of business due to the idiotic IRS PPP regulations.
Yeah, just veto the bill and fuck every small business that took the loan to stay afloat due to the moronic government shutdowns.
I refuse what is a clear slap in the face for $600. Aid for Americans ONLY. Veto!
Pocket veto. Let congress stay in DC for Christmas and be arrested for festival.
ABSOLUTELY MUST
