    I didn't see you bitching about the pork in the 2017 tax cuts or CARES act earlier this year. So apparently it's you who's OK with it.

    Smells like the perfect "take the profit" event. Even though futures are up, I think the Santa Rally is fugheddabouddit. Drop it 7-10% through the new year.

    To be clear, all of this so-called pork and foreign aid is what Trump asked for. You really are a sucker if you can’t see what Trump did here.

  5. Same game year after year, business as usual. Here we are in the middle of a "pandemic", an economic crisis that they created, tens of millions feeling the financial pinch, one might think congress would do something different. Nope, same deal. Argue for months and months, hold people hostage while blaming each other, add in billions of unnecessary bullshit, take it right to the midnight hour and then ride in to save the day once again. Oh thank you great leaders, whatever would we do without you. Now go eat shit and die.

    Not to mention this pork was part of the omnibus bill but right wing media ran with the lie anyway.

    Part of it was in the omnibus, there was ample pork in the stimulus bill to warrant a veto.....

    But when you wait for the last minute before midnight to pass your crap, using time as leverage against needful Americans - you get your crap passed. Congress uses this ploy time after time.

    The pork in the omnibus needs stripped as well, thanks for acknowledging it’s existence.
