If you are a conservative voter in America today at some point you have to realize you have no representation in the US Senate.
Mitch McConnell has a 33 percent approval rating, the lowest in the US Senate and yet he was reelected as GOP Leader with 37 votes to 10 votes for Senator Scott. The Senate Republicans REALLY, really hate their base. The bill gives another $44.9 billion to Ukraine — where it disappears into the ether.
The bill also makes it impossible for Americans to challenge a stolen election.

Why does Mitchie still have that position? What a sellout.

To get rid of RINOs like Mitch will take years and I'm not sure I'll ever see it happen.

And just to twist the knife a little further, we get this, which should have been renamed with "Pence" in the title:
"...Also in the package is a measure to reform Electoral Count Act of 1887 – a revision that reaffirms that the vice president has only a ceremonial role in counting electoral college votes and raises the threshold necessary for members of Congress to object to a state’s electors..."

at least "the people" can feel somewhat OK about how Hong Kong Mitch feels about them because he hates our President more than he hates us

The UniParty lives on thanks to the Turtle. Makes one wonder whether Xi has more than one marionette. We know that Lame Duck is one, could the Turtle be the other? Hmmm-mmm.

Would it be bad of me to say that I hate these traitor 'Republicans' even more than I despise the Democrats who are at least honest enough to declare that they are enemies of a Constitutional American Republic?

A Dem will come in front of you, shoot you in face and steal your wallet on the way down. But a Republican will hold your hand, whisper "I'll protect you" in your ear while slitting your throat. And then take your wallet as reward for good deed done.

I have said this many times. Most of the Republican voting base are conservatives. But the Republican "leadership" (and I use that term very loosely) are about as far away from conservatism as you can get. They truly are Republi-Can'ts, where getting anything done to benefit conservative and Constitutional ideals are concerned are the last thing on their minds! In fact, they are usually openly hostile to conservative values or the Constitution!!!
It truly is time for the Republican Party to die, and for the conservative American Patriots Party to arise!!!!!

In other words go ahead and commit all the voter fraud possible. It will be against the law for anyone to challenge you. I’m done.

The only avenue left open to conservatives who want to save America is to participate in a Ghandi-like passive-resistance and stop the engine that runs America. Just stop everything. Unfortunately, for most Americans, that is simply too difficult to do since most of us don't live on farms. And the FBI and DOJ would just hunt down those patriots anyway.
So down we go.
Mr. Xi is smiling.
Along with our backstabbing politicians and those on Martha's Vineyard.

For a group of people who have bent over backwards to deny vote fraud, they sure are doing their darnedest to ensure it continues.

Ok, Turtle. The gloves are off. Anything can be challenged in the courts anytime. A funding bill has no authority to stop any legal proceeding. Understand this. Turtle, did you and your pubbie caucus review all 4,155 pages of the bill? Of course not. Do you care? Of course not.
Once the new House is sworn in comes January 3rd, just you suppose, Turtle, that they vote to de-fund all of parts of the bill, pal.

The Republican Party will soon be dead. Many of us who supported them in the past are through with them. I may never vote for republicans again because, apart from Trump, they may as well be democrats. Goodbye and RIP.

Psssst...their inclusion of the election LAW rewrite is an admission that everything Trump did to contest/correct/clarify the election before "certifying" the count was LEGAL, and followed existing Law.

The Turtle just put on a supercharger on the inflation engine. Invest in securities that twill do well with rising interest rates. or show up to vote at the next election - if there is one.

Jim Hoft says conservatives have no representation in the Senate. The implication is that Republican. Senators all voted for the spending bill. If that is not true, why not publish a list of who voted for and against. Could it be that the actual vote has yet to be taken? I don't trust the headline-hooker Hoft brothers to ever state the simple truth.

Mitch and the gang have just screwed every American voter who trusted them to honor their pleges of "no to taxes". The Republican party is officially dead, they have joined Biden in his efforts to ruin this country in so many ways, as far as I am concerned, and Trump, if he runs, should run as an Independent.
Mitch McConnell should be removed from office, but then who would spport that, they all joined forces to betray us. FJB< FMM< FKM and every Republican who voted for this bill.

The money to Ukraine doesn't bother me. In the grand scheme of things, it is a pittance. Besides, we are obligated by agreement to defend the independence of Ukraine. We are doing that with weapons and ammo. I'm cool with that.
If YOU aren't, well, then us giving our word in an agreement doesn't mean anything. Even to Ukraine, which was an ally in the GWOT.
Russia doing a painful belly-flop into the swimming pool of realpolitik will be good for everyone. Even Russia.

Those in power have turned this country into a sad joke. And we're all being played like a Steinway. Or a Yamaha for you bargain shoppers. Anyone want to bet on how much time the nation has before a total collapse? I'm betting the new Republican Congress will nothing but sell us out.

What part of the 1st did they forget to read? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Proof Republicans are in Kumbaya arm-locks with the Democrats in destroying America and don't care a puck about the struggling Middle-class Americans who are paying their salary. Definition of INSANITY, Americans doing the same thing over and over and expecting DIFFERENT RESULTS.

So, if all elections are stolen from now on you cannot open your mouth about it??? Mitch do move to China and stay there permanently. I for one cannot understand that the idiots in your state give you one single vote!

The GOP needs their heads examined. Rediculous! They don’t do anything to improve the budget and just pass it when the deadline is a few days ahead. Close the Government - they’re off half the time anyway. Time for term limits.
