GOP senators who backed $1.7 trillion omnibus may face retribution from House GOP in next Congress.
JTN: The Senate on Thursday passed a $1.7 billion omnibus spending package with the support of 18 Republican senators, who backed the measure over loud objections from House Republicans who had called on the upper chamber lawmakers to refrain from setting next year’s budget until they took control of the House in January.
Those pleas fell on deaf ears for many Senate Republicans, though they may soon come to regret their decision should House lawmakers follow through on threats they made prior to the vote to obstruct legislation from any Republican who broke ranks on the issue.
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy led 30 other incoming and current House Republicans on Wednesday in writing an open letter to the Senate GOP in which the group vowed to thwart the legislative priorities of those Senate lawmakers. Roy’s group more than doubled in size since sending a similar letter on Monday with 13 signatures, according to The Hill. MORE

Roy took particular aim at the FBI, in which recently released missives from new Twitter CEO Elon Musk show the agency has worked with top platform executives on disinformation.
I think gridlock is the best we can hope for.
McCarthy will cave. Sorry to be a negative nabob of the black pill sect but I’ve seen this movie before.
“McCarthy will cave.”
Maybe. But I don’t think so. I think DJT told him you either do my bidding or you won’t ever get elected for jack shit again. He seems rather committed this time around. I could be wrong. That’s my disclaimer.
First, put the turtle on his back and walk away.
My level of disgust with this group of Republican Senators is level 10 on a scale of 10.
It is insane that any GOP senator would vote for this, knowing they have the House in 2 weeks.
And it isn’t even the $1.7 trillion. It’s new laws hidden in this, which they didn’t even try to find out about.
@left coast dan.
They dumped 4100 page bill at 1:30 am and demanded a vote the next day. Or something close to that. I couldn’t read 4100 pages of legalese in my lifetime.
Why would they vote for this monstrosity when they is zero money for boarder security, only money to process the new illegal immigrant democrat voters?
The answer is that those who backed this fuster-cluck want our Country to fail and go full socialism/commie with them gaining even more power.
The repubs by passing this give Biden and his handlers almost 10 months before the House can pass another budget. They are like the guy who gets castrated so his neighbors won;t have anymore kids.
Disgusting!
Yeah but what if Brad & I promise to be good?
“House lawmakers follow through on threats they made prior to the vote to obstruct legislation from any Republican who broke ranks ”
But what if it’s really good legislation? IDK. I guess something needs to be done. But this, on some levels seem childish.
As the “Bush Republicans” Adam and Liz Did in 6/21?!@#$%^&?!*%&#!?!
Kev is a BUSH REPUBLICAN! Bush’s have not morals! Their people have none! The Senate Bush republicans will get no hits from Kev and his folk! NONE!
Whether McCarthy will cave is not up to McCarthy. After all these years of being in the GOPe swamp, they have his ball locked up in a container, and if he gets out of line…. SAME with McConnell, if not more so.
You have to pass it to find out what’s in it.
Which ones voted for it?
@Zonga – here’s the list of those that voted for the final bill.
The final vote on the 4,155-page bill was 68-29. Republican Sens. Roy Blunt (MO), John Boozman (AR), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Susan Collins (ME), John Cornyn (TX), Tom Cotton (AR), Lindsey Graham (SC), Jim Inhofe (OK), Mitch McConnell (KY), Jerry Moran (KS), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Robert Portman (OH), Mitt Romney (UT), Mike Rounds (SD), Richard Shelby (AL), John Thune (SD), Roger Wicker (MS) and Todd Young (IN) all voted in favor of the legislation.
Three more voted to advance the bill through the cloture process to get to the final vote including Marco F’ing Rubio and Charles Grassley. These scumbags claim they are for America first, honor their oaths to the constitution and don’t support spending money that we don’t have. They all are lying scum and deserve a date with a rope.
@ Bubba’s Brother,
Luv ya!
Marco F’ing Rubio is my Senator, next time he’s in town I’m going to puke on his shoes.
The Omnibus Bill is straight up Treason.
And anyone supporting it is a straight up Traitor.
EVERY American KNOWS that there’s nothing in this abomination that benefits America.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Tough talk for a bunch of pussies; Empty threats for those traitors, Oh MY!! I bet they’re pissing in their boots. ‘NOT’ !!
How they were to vote was decided before they even voted on the bill.
It’s all theater and slight of hand.
Remember, just continue voting republican and all your troubles will fade away.
By the time we’re done with Biden, our debt should pass $40 trillion. To quote the Spawn of Satan, “what, at this point, does it matter?”
How much longer will repubs keep letting the reps and send use them as sex dolls. they have screwed people for too long. It’s time to wrap the gop up , use for to, then throw it into the nearest landfill. let the next one know they will be held
to results.
DO IT! If they want to vote like Democrats, make them change their party affiliation.
Kick them to the curb.
And don’t be very gentle about it either. Make it hurt to betray their constituents.
The next time you consider voting for President, don’t forget to remember how many times a “winner” for whom you voted previously, invited you to the White House; then, think about whether or not you REALLY want to send another of your precious invitations, (i.e. votes.)
P.S. Vote early. Vote often.
