Page 587: No $ for the President to request FBI background report on any individual. If we had amendments, this would be a good place to add no $ for partisan hacks in the Intel community to unmask any American without a judicial warrant.

I shared 600 pages tonight. I’m done tweeting them for the evening. If they insist on voting, I will vote no because it spends to much and there’s just too little time to read the bill and let everyone know what’s actually in it. Thanks for sticking with me.

It should be illegal to cram so much into a single bill and then allow a vote hours later. How can this be considered responsible spending of our tax dollars. We need elected officials to use our money as if it were there own mothers personal budget.
-
They spend it as if it were their money, then take some more to give to their mothers to spend. Notice how they all arrive middle class, earn $170,000 a year and retire as millionaires. Hmmmmm

Why would we be helping middle eastern countries secure their borders? That’s their job. We spent money on it it which would simply make it so they have money to spend elsewhere including attacking us, or giving it to people who don’t like us

It disgusts me that you,
@RandPaul sarcastically joke about finding line item 4 funding border wall! THIS IS NO JOKE.#WeThePeople R FED UP with everyone of you in the@SenateGOP &@HouseGOP ! Seeing that you folks can’t do your job, then get T H Out of the people’s house!#MAGA -
Rand Paul voted against this bill! Do you mean Paul Ryan the house speaker??
-
No, I’m glad he voted no. My point is regarding sarcasm in his message. Bigger point is that ALL republicans in Congress hold responsibility for not getting what we all voted for, in that bill. They are not doing their job. Sick of it!
