Damn, did your miss your nap and lose what little sense of humor you had?
Also, I wonder if he borrowed Martha's panties and gowns for all grooming he did in that makeup and wig.
They changed it to include it as mandatory spending and not discretionary.Should be easy enough to fact check this. According to Stewart the bill had nothing added to it since the first vote when those republicans voted for it.
I can’t find anything suggesting that there was anything done besides correcting a procedural error. No evidence of budget shenanigans which is the excuse now being repeatedly trotted out by Republican loyalists.
I’ll probably read through the whole thing later tonight when I’ve got time. But this just sounds like it was backlash to the climate change legislation.

holy moly…i don’t know wtf this is, but it looks funny.
I'm sure the folks at FOX News or whichever conservative news source you subscribe to are happy with themselves after easily convincing another sucker with their dishonest reporting. Are you reeeeally incapable of doing your own research?
House Resolution 3967, as introduced back on June 17, 2021, long before its approval in an 84-14 Senate vote, and how it STILL appears today includes the following:
“(2) No amount appropriated to the Fund in fiscal year 2023 or any subsequent fiscal year pursuant to this section shall be counted as discretionary budget authority and outlays or as direct spending for any estimate of an appropriation Act under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) and any other Act.

Way Too Long; Not A F*cking Chance I'm Reading That Bull Shit, maybe?
Other than hurt feelings, saying things he probably should have kept to himself, and not caring what other countries/citizens thought of him, what did Trump do to hurt the people of this country?
If Biden could fiscally put us back where we were we he took office, I couldn't care less how much he muttered, stuttered, farted or shit himself. He could say almost anything he wanted to say as long as we, as a country, were back like it was.
My finances are more important than peoples feelings. If anyone puts their feelings above their finances, they are too stupid to have money anyway.

I said the election was 'bullshit', moron, and anyone who believes otherwise is just being disingenuous...like you usually are. He might think it was bullshit for slightly different reasons than I do, but either way I hope we never again have an election where rampant vote harvesting is allowed to take place. If voting is such a precious right and privilege and it means anything much at all, IF you are physically able to do so, get off your fat ass and go to the polling station, identify yourself properly, and cast your own vote.
Talk about a loaded question!
The list of Trump's blunders is far too long to list, so I'll stick with an abbreviated lineup beginning with his reckless tariffs with China, which screwed over US companies and consumers a lot more than it hurt China:
Two years ago, President Donald Trump signed what he called a "historical trade deal" with China that committed China to purchase $200 billion of additional US exports before December 31, 2021. Today the only undisputed "historical" aspect of that agreement is its failure.
In the end, China bought only 58 percent of the US exports it had committed to purchase under the agreement, not even enough to reach its import levels from before the trade war.[1] Put differently, China bought none of the additional $200 billion of exports Trump's deal had promised.

Here are some things Donald Trump has said about his trade war with China since first hitting Beijing with tariffs last March, a move supported exclusively by his craziest advisers that caused National Economic Council director Gary Cohn to sprint across the South Lawn of the White House and hail the next cab back to New York:
- “Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration, while at the same time reducing taxes for our people.” (August 2018);
- “Billions of Dollars are pouring into the coffers of the U.S.A. because of the Tariffs being charged to China” (November 2018);
Trump’s Dumb Trade War Cost Americans $3 Billion a Month Last Year
So good, so easy to win.
Ah, so in other words you feel the election was BS simply because Trump got his ass kicked as opposed to BS due to the legitimacy of counting the votes?
By the way, how can voting be a right AND a privilege? You're contradicting yourself.

not because he got his ass kicked, but because it was improperly kicked with massive vote harvesting. Few are the things you seem to be able to comprehend. This is circumstantial, but I offer as evidence the fact that you and @prlyles apparently have the same mentality.
ETA. voting is a right. Being able to go to a provided convenient polling place to exercise that right is a privilege. There is nothing inherent to a right that says that exercising that right has to be made effortless or that it can be exercised on behalf of another.
Note, momo, that I didn't say the 'right to vote' was a privilege, I said voting was a right (the inherent ability) AND a privilege (the process of actually voting).
The intellectually limited shouldn't start arguments that they can't finish.

Ballot harvesting works on such an innocuously micro level that to argue its effect on a nationwide, presidential election is absurd.
No, I think you think its bullshit because Trump lost, plain and simple.

He lost, bigly. They counted all the votes, and he got his ass handed to him. Rally turnout doesn't equal votes.
It has in every election before. But I’m sure this was just one of those outlier situations.
you think what you want to think, while I conclude intelligently that the unbelievably high turnout for Biden, with Covid measures in place, did not reflect a normal, proper vote.
Am I upset that this caused Trump to lose? Why not ask if I'm upset that a complete moron was elected who has our economy in the dumper with tons of illegals with government provided cell phones entering our country routinely? Those are the same question, and of course the answer is yes.
At least you admit he lost. That's more than Trump will do, publicly. He lost because of his own actions and words. He cost himself the election. Then he tried to steal it, or have it stolen with help from others, after he lost.
I know what the numbers are, and that the numbers handed his ass to him. My contention is that the numbers were accumulated improperly with vote harvesting. Go see Alice and see if she has a pill for common sense and reading comprehension.
You're pretty much just a wasted fvck, stuck on your inane little rally/vote stupidity that you're desperate to have acknowledged as clever. OK, I'll acknowledge that it's just your usual idiocy that you think is clever.
he didn't help himself and I have not once said otherwise. That's beside the point that I'm contending. I will never be convinced that the vote was conducted properly, and there is every possibility that a properly conducted election might have had a different result.
ETA; that he tried to steal it is something that can't be determined. He wanted the results overturned and as I've said before, I don't blame him for that. Whether those efforts and his wishes amount to 'stealing' is too subjective for intelligent people to even argue over....but those holding hearings and drawing definite conclusions don't fall into the category.
Fair enough but I have the rest of the civilized world, minus some very misguided and bitter Republicans like yourself, on my side of this very unnecessary argument.
Quick, bluetoe! You're having your ass handed to you AGAIN! Change the subject!!
Keep making the sore-loser contention. All the excuses couldn't convince a single Trump-appointed judge to consider his baseless claims. He lost, and he lost by a lot... tremendous numbers.
Speaking of being stuck, that's why we're still here talking about this shit-for-brains, 18 months later. He's stuck in November 2020, with the rest of his cult members.
I've come to regard you saying that my ass is being handed to me as a great indication that it's YOUR ass that's being kicked. And of course it is.
I have to chuckle at your contention that only a handful of us think the election was bogus, while libs wail and gnash their teeth over efforts to return reason into voting procedures. And unlike you, I'm not so deeply insecure as to worry about what the rest of the civilized world thinks, and most especially what you think.
you really need to get that pill from Alice, dumbfvck. What Trump contends and what I'm contending are not necessarily exactly the same thing, as I have clearly stated in this thread.
"Speaking of being stuck, that's why we're still here talking about this shit-for-brains, 18 months later. He's stuck in November 2020, with the rest of his cult members."
that's rich. Are you really that clueless over who's stuck on this subject? I'm just responding to the stuckness of TDS sufferers in this thread. You, in other words.
"I just need 11,780 votes..." translation: "Will you help me cheat the system?" The words of a true loser who has cheated his entire life.
I know he lost. I'm not stuck at all. He and his cult? They're expecting Mike Lindell to reinstate him and he flies back home on Air Force One-Dumb-Mutherfvcker.
what a moronic translation. Fill in a few dozen dots that aren't there? Try this...' I just need 11,780 of those votes that weren't counted properly'.
We went through this stupid tail-chasing exercise before. Try originality for a change...if you can. Oh and here you are with the inanity. Wouldn't be a strum special without that.
And I have come to expect nothing
"Weren't counted PROPERLY." Well, he insisted that he "won by hundreds of thousands of votes." Then, he just needs them to find him 11,780 votes. Liars who keep lying and people defending the liar and the lies is inane and unoriginal with a serious price tag. You're weak... you need the exercise.
do you have a measurable IQ? That's the number of votes he said he NEEDED, which doesn't mean the total he was cheated out of. And try to comprehend that I'm not defending Trump here or even pretending to know what he was doing in that particular situation....I'm simply countering your stupidly filling in blanks that aren't there in your translation. Jesus, you can't even keep up with your own nonsense.
Oh yeah, this is me doing your definition of “victim” again.
Why have elections, right? Let's just have rallies and do head-counts!
No, not because I say so. Because the facts say so.
The evidence against a fraudulent election, upheld by 60 different judges not to mention too many election officials to count and many of them Republicans who agree, trumps your limp-wristed argument to the contrary.
On the HR 3967 front, I copied and pasted the portion of the resolution that undeniably states it was always intended to be a mandatory rather than discretionary expense.
You love arguing even when you are blatantly wrong and defeated.
