Title: *&#%^$ Democrats!
Post by: Hawkmoon on September 20, 2021, 10:55:23 AM
All I can say is, "Thank God for the Senate parliamentarian." I had no idea the Democrats were trying to sneak citizenship for DACA illegals into the mega-spending bill.

We have no idea what else they have put in it either because all of these mega spending bills have become a “we have to pass it to find out what’s in it” type deals.

They sure as hell don’t want you to find out what all is actually in it.

I doubt anyone entirely knows what's in it.  All that matters to the Congresscritters is whether their pet pork-barrel project is included.

I was reading somewhere that there is 8 billion in it to get internet to all Americans. There is a problem, thanks to those evil, capitalists companies, 99% already have access to it.

If it saves just one, preferably an oppressed minority, child's internet that's 8 billion well spent.

The reason the Senate Parliamentarian even made that decision is because they are trying to bypass the filibuster rules using some sort of reconciliation process and only do the normal majority vote.

But we no longer have net neutrality. Our internet is still Trumpified. If those oppressed minority childrens of colors get that scary MAGA internet, won't it kill them?
