The omnibus thing is what I object to.

 

The appropriations necessary for the entire government make for a huge act, but it usually would not make sense to break them down into mini-appropriation bills. It is when they insert measures that have nothing to do with appropriations that it veers off course.

Not taking away from the larger point, but it is misleading when people are saying these items are part of the $900 billion Covid relief package (“What does all this have to do with the Virus?”) The Covid relief package was rolled into a much larger appropriations act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. This omnibus is the budget for the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30. If Trump vetoes this act and the veto is not overridden, there are no appropriations and the government shuts down. 
 

This something that needs to change. The practice of rolling multiple bills/appropriations into one is a fundamental problem.
 
The mo-fo is burning the house down after he has salted the battlefield. The public's attention span may be limited now, and the outrage from these latest actions tolerable, but this despicable sub-human will go down as the very worst POTUS, ever.  Ever!

What shocks me  is while millions are losing jobs and businesses state and local government employees and teachers are being paid even for not working....In NJ, local government staff are being paid to stay home with their kids and not required to work at all.  A family member is an aide at a local elementary school, and she's being paid to do nothing during remote learning.   Nobody will address it, because it's their friends and family (and themselves) who would miss out.  The lack of integrity will eventually cause things to collapse.
 
Yep, the major distraction that is Trump will be gone soon, but this remains.  Hopefully this bill will finally wake people up.

I think that what they have done now may be the most heinous act in the history of the body. The cruelty and evil is almost incomprehensible.
