‘GANG OF 18’ RINOS AGAIN SHOVES A KNIFE INTO OUR BACK…

Once again we in the Republican Party have been screwed over by yet another ‘Gang of 18’ RINOs in the U.S. Senate. These RINOs had no qualms whatsoever when it came to again shoving a knife into our back by choosing to side with the Democrats, this time to pass the 4,155-page, $1.7 trillion, fiscally irresponsible, omnibus spending bill and to send it on to the House, where Democrats are salivating over their chance to get it Joey’s desk before Christmas. This legislative monstrosity passed the Senate by a 68-29 margin on Thursday afternoon with the help of our infamous ‘Gang of 18.’ Once again the RINOs have shown they are more dangerous than are the Democrats.

And it’s a casual glance over the list of these turncoats that one quickly recognizes names that we’re all very familiar with. The list contains those ‘usual suspects’ who have a long history of screwing over both us and the country. The names on that list: Roy Blunt, John Boozman, Shelley Moore Capito, Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, Jim Inhofe, Mitch McConnell, Jerry Moran, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney, Mike Rounds, Richard Shelby, John Thune, Roger Wicker and Todd Young. All RINOs, all the time. And might this type of behavior be what prompted many Americans to not vote for more Republicans in the midterm elections?

We’re told that this massive $1.7 trillion debacle of a spending bill will fund the government through September 2023 and is likely to be the last piece of legislation this Congress will vote on, as members will most likely not come back this year after they leave for the Christmas holiday. In January, when Congress comes back in session, Republicans will take control of the House, which, while it should make it harder for Democrats to pass significant legislation, as we see by the actions of this ‘Gang of 18’, is certainly no guarantee. Personally, I don’t have much confidence in our Republican members in the House to act as much of a roadblock to the insanity.

Anyway, this fiscal abomination passed by the Senate is absolutely riddled with thousands of earmarks, which lawmakers add to bills to advance their own narrow political priorities. And it’s the Congressional Research Service that defines earmarks as spending provisions that are included in bills to benefit “a specific entity or state, locality, or congressional district other than through a statutory or administrative formula or competitive award process.” Ultimately, they allow lawmakers to clandestinely add all manner of “pork” to bills that fund projects in their districts, but could also be used to reward their donors and various special interests.

And it’s this very same piece of legislation that ‘gives’ another $45 Billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine, which, added to the $66 Billion that lawmakers have already approved for that purpose, brings the grand total of what American taxpayers’ dollars have provided to the country to over $110 billion. American taxpayers have ‘given’ more aid to Ukraine in 2022 than was sent to Afghanistan, Israel, and Egypt combined in 2020. I’ve always been strangely impressed by the ability of Schumer and Pelosi to always guarantee 100 percent support for any bill they put forward. Meanwhile, that never seems to happen on our side.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment among those who thought it a good idea to side with the Democrats was Tom Cotton? Turns out he’s nothing more than another lying fraud! I have to admit, he put up a good front about being a conservative, but when push came to shove, he went along with the Democrats and McConnell. So from this point on I don’t want to be hearing any more about the time he spent as an honor guard at Arlington. As far as I’m concerned, he has no honor. And it would seem that he left is backbone on the floor a long time ago. If Cotton thought he was running for President, he should probably give that a little more thought. He’s dead to me!

Sadly, it’s the recapture of the House by the Republicans that will likely have the same result. All we have are turncoats and back stabbers and it’s none of these bastards that care about America. They only care about themselves. And with that many Democrats masquerading as Republicans, I just don’t see how there will never be a workable Republican majority. And I have no doubt that that is just fine with both McConnell in the Senate and McCarthy in the House. Traitors to the Republic the lot of ‘em. The very fact that they would vote to continue to fund the FBI given recent revelations regarding that agencies illegal activities is the tell. Bad guys.

Every one of these people, as well as more than a few not on this particular list, are shameless saboteurs. Lindsey Graham is among the worst, always pretending to be a conservative, and the rest at least we know they’re RINOs. Democrats are not hiding their intentions to destroy this country and they’re getting plenty of help from these gutless RINOs in return for a share of the profits. I also blame the useful idiots who continually return these RINOs to office. Are these constituents really that dumb? This is a horrible bill and conservatives, and well thinking and meaningful lawmakers, in the House ought to reject the passage of this monstrosity of a bill.

Once again, we have those who are supposed to be working for us, ignoring why it was that they were elected and simply ramming through whatever it is that they want, without care or concern of how it will affect Americans. My cost of living has nearly doubled since Joey took office and that seems to bother none of these people in the least. And yet we are simply supposed to just sit here and be quiet while these idiots run our country to the ground. We can no longer afford to sit idly by while these politicians continue with this reckless spending of money that we simply don’t have. Do these people really think we’re too stupid to see what’s going on here?

Our system worked well for two hundred years, but it doesn’t anymore. The politicians are wealthy beyond belief, far removed from the concerns of ordinary Americans. President Trump tried to break it up, but one man can only do so much. A new political movement, and Americans committed to it, is what is now needed. These politicians must be held accountable, and they cannot continually be re-elected so that they can simply return to business as usual. Voting for the same people and expecting them to somehow behave differently than they have their entire political ‘career,’ is nothing more than the definition of insanity.
