vote no if you can’t read it. Besides, I don’t see any incentive in the legislation to ramp up domestic energy production, our crisis on our shores deserves some attention.

The important thing is the lobbyists (who wrote the various spending provisions) read the bill before submitting it to Congress for approval.

Tell me something that I don’t know. I don’t think they ever read those damn bills and don’t care either.

Pelosi: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

As long as THEY somehow benefit from it then it’s all good. New phrase of the day——”NO NEED TO READ!”

Voting is a waste of time now and in the future.

This is what you get with voting. First you must erase the board in one swoop.

This merely signals the electorate that they have the ultimate “NO” vote coming to clean out this nest of vipers.

This is just like a teacher and school children. If the teacher can’t read it, it either must be redone legibly or will be graded as an F. No negotiation possible.

They don’t want you to read the bill either. Try to find it. It’s not even called the Omnibus Spending Bill, budget, appropriations, etc. It’s a bill on Haiti with the language striped and replace with this steaming pile of excrement.

The elected folks are puppet actors. Very much like news readers, stage craft, theater and film. They read the lines but at bottom, they have zero ability to control the eventual produciton - other than their acting ability may get them rewarded with a long-term assignment in the theater.

The bills are written by lobbyists or by the WH lawyers. Congress drafts maybe 1% of what it passes. Members are briefed on the contents (peobably misled as much as the public is), and then speech or not and vote in whatever way they figure is in their PERSONAL best interest.

Similar charade with oversight.

You are watching a movie, and you don’t even know who the writer and director are.

On the plus side, we do get to choose who the actors are.

And McConnell goes along with it with about 20 other useful idiots.

Nothing will change until he is gone
