It’s starting…
please, please, please be true…
Massie (and Roy) would not be doing this without Trump’s direct or implied approval. There is no way that these guys would risk a Trump tweetstorm if they thought this bill was a Trump priority.
Perdue is feeling the heat back home (if he’s here…literally it was 100 in my part of Atlanta yesterday). His reelection prospects get dimmer for every day this bill is held up
Who could possibly have predicted that these Freedom Caucus loons would repeatedly derail a disaster relief bill benefiting red states given the slightest chance to grandstand this way? Is it possible the feckless Democratic House leadership folks actually know stuff?
Let’s you and him fight.
Republicans are worried about the “growing deficit”? You don’t suppose that tax cut for the rich had anything to do with that, do ya, Massie?
So Massie’s signed on to one of the lawsuits objecting to Trump’s stealing a few billion for the Wall, I presume, since that went against a vote which was held by Congress.
Exactly. Repeal the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in its entirety and you will have money for Disaster Relief, Wall, and reduce the deficit.
Win, Win, Win!
No?
I don’t think it could pass by a unanimous vote. I also think Dems are just trying to expose these Freedom Caucus hypocrites.
Why? Seems like an inside pool game IMO.
Passing an unbudgeted $19 billion spending bill without a vote of Congress is legislative malpractice.

Yet, somehow, passing a $2 Trillion UNFUNDED TAX CUT was just peachy with you?
Fucking Hypocrite.
Someone at WaPo asked why this matters. The House will be back next week and pass it.
Someone else responded what if Trump vetoes it?
I do wonder how many repubs will end up voting for it.
Because that disaster relief package contains a bunch of money to help S GA farmers that were wiped out by Hurricane Michael…some are at the point of bankruptcy and losing farms that have been in families for generations. This is republican country and he can ill afford to lose these people or have them stay home in 2020. He is one of Trumps biggest toadies in the Senate and Trump has been happy to keep this tied up over PR.
This is the wonderful outcome of sucking up to Fox News.
Have you seen this weasel ? Another dead muskrat head Rand Paul wannabe?
Mini me Rand
It’s all about me - Oh Look I made the Headlines
Trump’s priority is to funnel unbudgeted billions to red state farmers and ranchers hurt by his tariff wars with China and others. They don’t seem to have a problem with that.
