  1. US Congress is garbage. Last minute 4k page bill. Things need to change..

  2. America needs a January 6th….But like, a real one.

  3. They gonna blackmail the military to defend them!!!

  4. The Republicans who voted for this bill are traitors to the USA. They not only voted against the will of the people at large, but threw away the opportunity to demand the border be closed and restored to law and order before voting yes. TRAITORS!

  5. LOL Dem supporters are really dumb cheering for small points in this bill without even reading the fine-prints. You will be disgusted when you do. READ!!

  6. The attack on the capital goes squarely to Nancy Pelosi and the FBI and antifa .

  7. How is congress passing a 1.7 trillion dollar bill with representatives
    that the people voted out ???
    thats not representation.
    After spending a fortune on counting & recounting votes congress does this ?

    thats unconstitutional.
    americans are living a lie of being represented ny these shysters.

    its not hard putting them in perspective
    we also dont need courts that lie for them. that doesn't make it legal for them either .
    abuse of power.

  8. 1.7 trillion frivolous spending bill will be the final dagger into our economy. This is astonishing stupidity and corruption. To sneak this in at Christmas holiday and run away is a hit an run on America. 1.7 trillion dollars will crush the lower and middle classes.

  9. Doesn't current law and the constitution already do this ?

  10. …and petition the government for an address of grievances. The democrat anti-republican riots of the 1960s would have been utterly crushed by the military if this policy was in effect at that time.

  11. only thing preventing a stolen election weather it was 2016 or 2020 in vote on one day with ID. If they can count 600 million votes in India in one day. Surely, the world’s leading super power can?

  12. How will this stop the democrats from stealing elections?

  13. Mitch has sold out the conservatives, he needs to go. And the electoral college keeps the country as it should be- the REPUBLIC. We are NOT a democracy!!

  14. Another plot? There wasn’t one in the first place. Trump even tweeted “no violence” and “be peaceful.” If you think J6 was a legit attempt to overthrow our government y’all need to seek professional help. 🤦‍♂️

  15. As a republican I can honestly tell you that Mitch McConnell is every bit as disgusting and Despicable as Chuck Schumer! When Trump called McConnell are dried up old turkey neck he was exactly 100% correct!

  16. 😱🇺🇲🥳🤡🐷🐒🍌🙏🙏🙏🙏😝😝😝😝😝🤞🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  17. No one tried to over turn an election, people were mad about actual corruption. I don't believe anything any of you say.

  18. So, you want to borrow billions of dollars for illegals and give our money to the most corrupt government in the world. Great, I will never cast another vote or donate again.

  19. And billions more to one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. Politicians are getting rich laundering money in Ukraine.

  20. 🤣🤣🤣🤣they're starting to sound desperate…to cover up truths…PATHETIC

  21. The federal government collided and used tax payer money to pay media outlets to sensor stories. They have broken their oaths and undermined democracy. Our founding fathers would have refreshed the tree of liberty by now.

  22. NO the OMNIBUS BILL WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE DEMORATS TO CHEAT!! JUST LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEAR'S!!!

  23. We understand that the democrats will do anything to win🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂 they want to remind you to get your clot shot also 😂🤣

  24. The democrats will just come up with something else. The democrats are to blame, not Republicans. The evidence is overwhelming against democrats. Period.

  25. Shouldnt these two being playing shuffle board in a home somewhere?the fact that none of the rest of you seem to think that is disturbing.

  26. This bill is so destructive

  27. We need the electoral college destroyed and true democracy established.

    The Republic is failed and the people deserve better

  28. WE HAVE AN OLD MAN IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND THAT NOT ONLY SUFFERS FROM SENILITY BUT LACKS THE COURAGE OF REAL LEDERSHIP.BIDEN IS NOT ONLY A VERY LOW IQ PARTISAN THAT MAKES ALL HIS DECISIONS ON UNBALANCED LEFT POLITICS HE TAKES NO COST OR AMERICAN VALUES AND ATTACKS ON THE VERY POLICYS THAT AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON IT'S NOW OBIVIOUS HIS REAL LOYALITIES ARE WITH CHINA AND HIS CHINA FIRST POLICIES…….WHO THEY HAVE RECEIVED MUCH MONEY FRIM FOR WHAT???

  29. Would it have stopped the attempted overturning of the 2016 election?

  30. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬pieces of 💩💩💩

  31. Got to get these corrupt democrats out of office
