Blackburn (TN),
Cruz (TX),
Johnson (WI),
Lee (UT),
Paul (KY),
Scott (FL).
That’s your list of patriots y’all; in it’s entirety.

Sadly, that looks like the breakdown of the New Jersey Senate.

Everyone should watch that 4 minute video. He seems to have grown a pair, and thrown down the gauntlet to Congress. Question is, who blinks first?

People are PISSED at all the Pork in this Bill, and how the American citizens are getting screwed, compared to all the other countries with $600, of crumbs. Trump wants $2000 per person, or $4000 per couple.

What will congress do?

After Trump's release of that video, Pelosi agrees to bump the $600 up to $2000, like Trump asked for. But, she made no mention about cutting out any pork.

 
UPDATE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she agrees with Trump’s call for $2,000 payments. “Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!” she tweeted.

Yeah, Lee did something recently...cant recall the details.

He sponsored the bill to import foreign tech workers Which screws American kids graduating with STEM degrees.  So something snapped in Mike Lee’s head.  Levin can’t understand what happened to him.

If everyone claims not to know what's in the bill, who the hell wrote 5000 pages in secret, and who came up with all the BS.

I think 100 Biden and Trump voters could have come up with a better bill in less time and only use less then 1/2 ream of paper.

Lobbyists and consultants write these bills. Essentially.

Probably has something to do with representing the same state as Mitt Romney and being in the same party.

Mitt's insanity is probably contagious to a certain degree.

Only explanation I can think of as to why a brilliant patriot like Mike Lee would go off the rails with the visa issue like he did.

My understanding is that there are actually 2 bills: The Covid relief bill, and the Omnibus spending bill. All the pork is in the Omnibus spending bill. Can't he just sign the Covid relief bill and veto the Omnibus bill?  

"The $900 billion coronavirus relief deal that Congress passed on Monday night, which was attached to the $1.4 trillion omnibus spending legislation to fund the government, includes six tax breaks for Americans for 2020 and beyond."  https://money.yahoo.com/tax-breaks-in-the-new-coronavirus-stimulus-bill-205300030.html

And my understanding is that after you add up all the MULTI-YEAR PAYOUTS approved in the bill, the final cost is around $2,400 Billion.

That's $2.4 Trillion for those of you reading in Rio Linda and Newark.

And there will be a NEW bill with the bump up from $600 to $2000. So can Trump just sign that one, and let the other two die on the vine?

There won’t be a second one. Democrats will flood GA with speeches, ads, and whatever screeching that the republicans axed the bill and stole food from your mouths!

No second one? There are already two, the Covid Bill and the Spending Bill, both were passed in Congress and joined together. They can't be modified.

Pelosi said they would take a vote Christmas Eve for a Bill to raise the $600 to $1200, so this would be a new, or third Bill.

...."House Democrats will bring forward a bill to provide direct checks of $2,000 to individuals on Thursday, after President Trump called on Congress to amend a newly passed coronavirus relief bill to increase direct payments to $2,000, with $4,000 for a couple.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will try to pass the bill by unanimous consent — meaning that only one Republican member opposing the proposal needs to be present in order to block the bill.
