GOP Rep. Buck: I Think GOP Will Support
$2,000 Check if Pork Is Removed, But Just
Adding $2,000 Payment ‘Unacceptable’

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/26/2020 6:12:46 PM

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) stated that he believes Americans should receive $2,000 direct payments, and that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) removes the pork from the spending package, “she’ll get overwhelming Republican support. She’ll certainly have my support, but just to add a $2,000 payment instead of a $600 payment to the pork that’s in the bill is just unacceptable.”Buck said, “I absolutely am in favor of giving the American people $2,000. I think it’s the right move. I think the president’s absolutely right, but that’s only part of what the president is suggesting.

I am wondering: can only the Ruling Party in the House of Reprehesibles start up a bill? Can't the Republican wing start a clean bill---only the payments to individuals and perhaps to small businesses that are hurting. Or is it simply that such a minority-supported bill would go absolutely nowhere? So what. At least make Gagool show her contempt for ordinary Americans when she shoots it down.

I'm less concerned with getting a stimulus check than I am cutting all of this rotted pork. Of course we could use the money, but with the mu;ti-billions going to so much that we should not be funding (both domestic and foreign), I am more interested seeing the rotted pork sliced out of the two bills.

first of all, this bill should have been contained on one sheet of paper. the demcoms strategy is, always, to when an important piece of legislation comes up, add so much pork, the purpose of the bill is lost in the fine print. yes, republicans, too, are guilty of that maneuver and it should be eliminated from the legislative process. it is, unfortunately, the Speaker who decides what legislation will see the light of day. Newt Gingrich was, probably, the greatest Speaker of the House in modern times.

Asking for a friend, how much of the pork foreign money is being "donating" back to the congress people or their families or foundations? Asking for a friend. An honest law enforcement agency would track down every dime of the kickbacks to the elected people and take every one of them into custody and perp-walk them off to jail.

The arrogance of these congress creeps when pontificating about spending our taxpayer money. They exhibit both on the death democrat side and the phony republican side the attitude that it is their money and it is up to them who may or may not get some of it. This current corrupt scam is because of a BS pandemic that they and the Deep State bureaucrats foisted on us and have driven millions of America into poverty and unemployment. Remember not a single member in congress, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and all the state, local governments has missed a single pay check. For them this totalitarian lock down causing a massive depression has not adversely impacted them financially in any way, Keep that in mind at all times when listening to any of them. They continue to feast on the life blood of the taxpayers and are destroying our freedoms and way of life. Folks this cannot go on much longer. We are at the end of our rope. Free America.

#5, it's your governor who locked you down, not the feds. He did it and can undo it. Here in Florida our governor opened up the state, and yes, there are certain steps we must follow, but I can go shopping and stop at a restaurant and dine. Kids can go to school if the county chooses to open them, which many have. Businesses are open for the most part, and people are going back to work. So place the blame it where it belongs. (But please don't move to Florida, as we have enough moving in from the Northeast and bringing their leftist ideas!)

Since announcing his candidacy for President in 2015, Donald Trump has dominated the national news cycle — largely to the benefit of legacy media companies. As a growing amount of their airtime centered upon their hatred of the businessman turned politician, many witnessed sharp increases in their audience sizes. The New York Times, for instance, saw more subscriptions in the last three months of 2016 than all of 2015 combined. During election week in 2020, CNN saw a 135% increase in viewership over the first week of November 2019. After the inauguration of President Biden, however, legacy media saw double-digit drops in their viewership.

Democrats call their current massive spending bill a "COVID relief" bill, but the half-trillion-dollar bailout of state governments has nothing to do with COVID-19 relief. Plenty of states are doing poorly fiscally, but generally, this has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with their own mismanagement.This was a disputed point back in the spring, but no more. The numbers are in. The coronavirus has not left most states struggling for revenue the way people originally expected.The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating 4.6% economic growth in 2021.

A new survey from the National Republican Congressional Committee found that Republicans are in a strong position to take back the House in 2022, in part because Pelosi is so unpopular in every “key” subgroup, including women, Hispanics, and union households.Breitbart noted: The survey identified the 80-year-old speaker as the “most unpopular elected official in the country,” scoring a 52 percent unfavorable rating and 41 percent favorable rating. The unfavorable rating includes 45 percent who view Pelosi as “very” unfavorable.

And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
