How to Pass a Bill 96-0
posted ago by twoscoops4america ago by twoscoops4america +2510 / -0

Step one:

Page 781 of the bill provides $25 million to the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives to cover "salary and expenses."

This is called a payoff. Pure and simple.

That was an easy condition for Trump to accept. His balance sheet is beautiful, he's very under-leveraged, and the Trump companies can get financing from the big banks.

But the condition also applies to the families of members of Congress. Scumbags like Hunter Biden. That going to hurt them.

Trump wins. Again.

Did you even read the bill? The exact same provision says the President (and his family) and members of congress (and their families):

(3) COVERED INDIVIDUAL.—The term ‘‘covered individual’’ means—

(A) the President, the Vice President, the head of an Executive department, or a Member of Congress; and

(B) the spouse, child, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law, as determined under applicable common law, of an individual described in subparagraph (A).
