OMNIBUS BILL
For anyone thinking this is not a big deal, think again. Read Sen Rand Paul's tweets. He is actually reading the whole bill before voting. He is saying what all is in the bill. I know the NCIS Bill is gonna fuck gun owners royally. The Cloud Bill is another FU to Americans. Forget about your right to privacy anymore.
My case in point. The Dems have rejected/resisted everything Potus wants signed. ALWAYS! They WANT to pass this bill. That alone should make everyone here very worried.
Remember that Potus does not have the time to read the whole bill. He is relying on others to tell him what is in it. People like Paul Ryan. You know the guy who just sent out mailers on behalf of Dems????
Still, whenever the bill comes up, said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, "I’m confident it will pass the Senate by a comfortable margin as well.”
While Pelosi supported the overall spending package — she and other Democrats have bragged that they defeated many “poison pill” rides sought by Republicans — the California Democrat is unhappy that there was no action on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Trump has sought to end the program, although the issue is now likely heading for the Supreme Court.
Pelosi also laid into Trump during a speech on the House floor, slamming him for claiming victory on border wall funding.
"That's not completely true, Mr. President," Pelosi said. "There's some resources for fencing and the rest there. But some of that money is for technology and other ways to protect our borders… But if you want to think you're getting a wall, you just think it and sign the bill."
Ultimately, Trump agreed to sign the bill once it’s passed, but only after creating a panic with GOP leaders who had to scramble to convince the president that he had secured real legislative wins.
