Note: Speaker Johnson on TV never mentions any of this. He misleadingly talks about aid for hurricane victims and farmers.

Although it's touted as a "bipartisan bill," in truth it's a Democrat bill giving them everything they wanted.

Here's another beauty in the bill:

Congress members' emails would no longer be subject to subpoena. So, say President Trump's Justice Department in the course of conducting an investigation of the J6 committee seeks the emails from its members, it can no longer obtain them.

This is a 1,547 page bill that was negotiated by Johnson behind closed doors with the Democrat House Minority Leader. Members were given only 24 hours to read it, whereas Speaker Johnson told members they would be given at least 72 hours to read bills.

This is business as usual in Washington, but Elon came out strongly against this bad bill, and President Trump and VP JD Vance also and so the bill is now dead. This never would have happened without pressure from Elon.

The speaker you wanted running the house?

You flip flop all the time. You don’t want unity. You want the democrats to not be able to do anything. You want to enrich the billionaires, and see the rest of us have social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and anything else, taken away from us. You vote for the scrooges.

You just believe conspiracy theories. They have now denied that aid for hurricane victims and farmers, because of rump and that gollum musk. They did it deliberately, after also deliberately spreading lies about FEMA and the dem’s hurricane response.

Here's a provision in the CR to make the censorship industrial complex happy.

State Department ‘censorship’ office finds lifeline in 1,500 page spending bill

A provision in the bill:

would reauthorize the State Department's Global Engagement Center. Founded in 2016, the GEC has come under immense public and congressional scrutiny following reports from the Washington Examiner on it granting taxpayer dollars to the Global Disinformation Index and other outside groups working to suppress right-leaning voices online.

Conspiracy theories in general can and have turned out to be true in the end.

I pay no attention nor read what this creature posts.
