Why can’t they just once try to send a straight forward bill without having to tack some unrelated bullshit to it? We need new rules about fat in bills. I’m all for lending support to Ukraine, but that has exactly fuck all to do with keeping the government of the United States running. There’s no good reason that legislation should not be simple, transparent, and single purpose. Got some unrelated shit? Make a new bill. What the fuck are we paying these assholes for? Running a country is not a game. Every one of these pointless obstructionists needs to go against the wall yesterday.

On the flip side I was watching CSPAN last night watching the house floor as they pushed all these amendments through. Boebert was soooo worried about putting in provisioning blocking the DHS from putting out a mask mandate ever again.

There were over 60 amendments last night. I didn’t watch them all so idk what all of them were but if even a few were like that, completely irrelevant to the funding bill, then they’re still trying to waste all our time.

But they sure as fuck got that DRESS CODE sorted!
