Maybe they could do the bare minimum and read the shit they vote for.
Jeez I’d be fired from my job in a week if I was this incompetent.
They know read so good.
Why the fuck are you voting on ANYTHING you haven’t actually read???
They are shocked just like Mike Johnson is at week old news.
Many times, the asshat brigade of our representatives push bills in at the last minute, giving very little time to scrutinize it.
That said, often because it’s “their party”, so they just agree without further analysis.
JFC the ones getting the money are the ones the Justice Department was investigating
Crooks extorting the cops now that Il Duche runs the DoJ
What’s the difference between house republicans and Maga senators? They both Maga.
It’s such bullshit that these little fuckers will get paid out for merely being investigated in a proper way.
Stuff like this makes me think we could really use line item veto.
With line item vetoes we’d never pass another appropriations bill and we shouldn’t. If the president can just mark out whatever he doesn’t want in a budget and keep the rest then legislative negotiations are meaningless. Influencing the power of the purse is basically the only power that the minority party has in congress and with a line item veto the only real option they have for exercising that power is to shut it down completely.
I would think getting 66% would override line item veto. Just like it does any other veto. If you can’t get 66% of the vote for something, maybe it’s not worth stuffing into the bill in the first place.
Funding bills are fucjed anyway. It’s a shame we don’t have a party that’s interested in reforming the process so we don’t have these repeated shutdowns.
They are upset it only applies to senators, they want in on the grift too
