Just The News:
Sen. Ron Johnson made a move on Thursday that is forcing a reading of the lengthy coronavirus relief package in the Senate.
“I just objected to skipping past the reading of the Democrats’ 628-page bill that was just introduced minutes ago. If they’re going to add nearly $2T to the national debt at least we should know what’s in the bill,” the senator tweeted on Thursday afternoon.
The Wisconsin Republican was on the Senate floor as the Senate floor staff commenced their reading, according to The Hill, which noted that a Republican senator will need to remain on the floor while the legislation’s hundreds of pages are read.
After the bill is read, which was estimated to take five to eight hours, the Senate will debate the bill and various amendments for up to 20 hours, which is expected to begin Friday morning. more
Make those M-F’ers OWN this turd. Let the American people see what thieves and scoundrels the Uni-party are.
I love that guy. He cracks me up.
“I just objected to skipping past the reading of the Democrats’ 628-page bill that was just introduced minutes ago. If they’re going to add nearly $2T to the national debt at least we should know what’s in the bill,”
I s’pose they might as well start reading the bills, but seeing as we are already 30 trillion dollars in debt now, with another 150 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities it’s hard to imagine if this fixes anything. FUCKING UNIPARTY TRAITOROUS BASTARDS!!!
The MSM is reporting this as “Sen. Johnson irritates the entire Senate”.
At least he made them rub their faces deep into their own stinking mass of rotten pork.
$2,000,000,000,000 is a fricken’ lot of money. It’s basically the entire operating budget of the US in a typical year, not counting Social Security and Medicare. So it deserves consideration rather than the 2 a.m. vote it received in the House.
Guaranteed that only a couple dozen legislators had any involvement in this bill, zero Republicans.
And this is considered an average size bill!
“ which noted that a Republican senator will need to remain on the floor while the legislation’s hundreds of pages are read.”
Read that again; the asses DON’T even have to be on the floor while the bill is being read by the Senate FLOOR STAFF!
Only one RePUKElicans has to be there during the reading? Where are the rest of the viper’s nest Senators going to be?
The reading should be televised, but even then the grifters know that panning of the empty seats is ignored by their voters. Th
And in walks the standby speed reader to blitz through the bill
Make Biden read the bill out loud on national television.
Outstanding! Make a Youtube video of it!!
In the House, Nancy passes bills to see what’s in them.
Jason,
YouTube probably would ban it as they have done with RSBN and President Trump CPAC speech.
So just give the Democrat Senators a few pages each and have each of them simultaneously read it as fast as they can.
Shouldn’t take up too much time that way and everybody will be happy.
