...but at the same time, allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

On a more sinister note, here's at least $575 million for "family planning" in areas where population growth "threatens biodiversity."

Those names aren't surprising. Swamp creatures.

$65 million in two programs for Senator Leahy, and a federal building named for Nancy Pelosi.

F* Ukraine and all other countries getting funded. We are committing suicide on purpose while funding them to be saved.

And F* this government.

The national debt reckoning is going to ruin a lot of lives, and those voting for establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle are at direct fault.

I'm surprised Cotton and Rubio resigned their careers.

With the additional 45 billion dollars to Ukraine the United States will have given nearly TWICE as much as the entire European continent combined pic.twitter.com/TYZPT8PAwj

I sent Cruz and Cornyn an email today stating please don't vote for this bill. Would send one to my Congressperson but it's Sheila Jackson Lee Moron so wouldn't do any good. This spending is ridiculous

They became Swamp almost the day they got sworn in

It's not a spending bill, it's a crime scene.

If you think war is expensive now, wait to see how much they can spend on WW3.

fify.

These omnibus slush bills are among the most significant things dc politicians do and the periodic and perpetual growth of the swamp at the sake of taxpayers is sickening.

GOP is full of wh*r*s.

I sent an e-mail to Cornyn requesting that he show some fiscal responsibility and not support this bill. I guess he didn't read it in time.

What in the he'll are they doing? We can't keep floating this spending free for all. Our currency will collapse at some point. If inflation stays high because of crap like this, so will interest rates, and we'll have to soft default on the dollar.

These congresspersons and senators deserve the tar and feathers they'll sadly never get.

Every time I vote against Graham in the primary, but he keeps winning.

Will it be as easy to get away with setting fire to the Pelosi federal building as it was the one in Portland during the Summer of Love?

Grift fest 2022. Votes for sale. Voters for sale.

But most of all the members of the national media for running interference for them. People would both vote smarter, and politicians would tow the line better if they were castigated and held to account by an honest Fourth Estate. Instead you have a bunch of incestuous literally intermarried with the politicos self-serving grift class that feigns to "report." An honest one would be roasting this irresponsibility rather than profiting from it. The politicos can ignore their constituents because we don't have a vote of confidence or recall for most offices - as we should have. But they would find it hard to ignore a reformed Fourth Estate.

That is the vision for twitter. No filter or goaltending. My feed is 100% against the bill. Anyone on Twitter can get the pulse of the people and it's bad.

We have got to get Cornyn out of there. Whoever replaces him has to be a legit conservative and not a Mitt Romney impersonator.

2024 is too far away

After interacting with much of the population, I wish more family planning had taken place. Hard to be mad at that section especially if it's related to biodiversity. I'd rather 1/4 acre of endangered mushrooms than 1 acre of people. Let's do this.

Also, guessing that family planning = abortion.

I prefer "family management", abortion is such a dirty word.

It is almost like they know folks will not fight back.

Never, ever vote for a Democrat.

Speaking of which, you noticed that our resident Democrat posters never come to talk on these threads?

I really want a Democrat to try to defend this.

Oh no, they won't touch defending this, and our lovely (and always emotional) 'concerned moderates' will only jump in to lament any/all GOP support for the bill.

Democrats are pro open borders so they support this. All Democrat candidates supported open borders in the last presidential election. Confirmed it on live tv in a debate.

There is no longer any real difference between the two. "Functionally a Democrat" is truer than ever. In fact, some like LP are trending worse -- "functionally a Leftist." Any enabling of the demographic and culture change agenda makes you that.
