What are rescissions? Rescissions are a process available to the President to facilitate the cancellation of certain appropriated spending. The executive branch is legally required to spend money that Congress has appropriated, but the President may temporarily delay spending of budget authority (BA) the President views as not worthwhile, while asking Congress to consider cutting that spending. Congress can pass a rescission package with only a simple majority in the Senate – rather than the 60-vote supermajority generally needed to overcome a filibuster.

Senate is bought and paid for as much as congress has been. I pray the 6th cleans it all out and prevents shit like this from occurring again...bought and paid for politics

Trump has a point. At the end these congress reps were selected by the people to do this spend appropriation. He can only expose it and leave it to the people to figure out who they elect next.

You got a point, But the way this is going it isn't going to matter if dominion and mail in voting are still running rampant!

Truth. (So of course, you're being downvoted). Truth isn't too popular around here if it means that what the facts are don't include you excusing everything that Trump has done for all time because he is apparently infallible and never makes mistakes.

No clue WHY anyone is going to DC on the 6th or what they think is going to happen, honestly. I don't foresee anything happening, whatsoever, and I think it'd be mighty embarrassing to be there for that and then realize that you spent all this time/money/effort to go to Washington DC, get potentially attacked by antifa, to support a president who doesn't even give enough of a fuck about us that he insisted upon making sure we got at least more than a measly $600 OF OUR OWN FUCKING MONEY after being in lockdown for almost an entire fucking YEAR! Many of us don't HAVE jobs that we can claim unemployment insurance on, like myself. So fucked up. I'm fuming right now.

ISNT THAT GENIUS? THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH GETS TO CONTROL THE SPENDING OF IT... SO HE IS HOLDING THE MONEY HOSTAGE BY USING THE RESCISSION ... HAHAHAHAHA HE GETS THEM TO "INVESTIGATE" THE ELECTION AND VOTE ON 230 ... GENIUS

They're not going to investigate the election.

They're probably not going to vote in a positive way on 230.
