Both parties owned by corps. Dems owned by SJW programs. Repubs owned by endless war coffers.

McConnell said no to a bulk passing of the bill, I was under the impression of his ruling being.

Meaning, he didn't say no to the 2000, he said no to bulk passing the bill. Like, McConnell wants to go down the bill, line by line, and do a vote of each line item.

Time consuming? Yes. Clever? Maybe. It'll show you who is on board for what.

They wanted to keep the total bill under a trillion, which was only enough to fund their money laundering, investment, and kickback schemes.

You can hardly blame them, though. How else could these companies pay politician's children to sit on boards doing nothing unless the politicians burglarize the taxpayers every year to funnel into their associates bank accounts? Do you really want the family of these politicians to lose their jobs? Who will pay their high-priced escorts?

All that money is just sitting there for the taking, so of course they take it. The public is hardly an afterthought, and 600 dollars was deemed just enough to keep the dog from barking at the table while they eat their 7 course meal of graft.

Pssst...we don’t actually have access to the smoky back room. All we can do is guess at the strategies of these players, because strategies are usually Kept secret.

McConnell and the Republicans overwhelmingly voted for the pork in the first place. This idea that now they are perched in anticipation of doing exactly what Trump wants is worse than any q-tard fantasy
