Right, but none of this had anything to do with funding the Government itself including the pay raises that they were seeking to give themselves when both houses are at mid teens approval rating with the American public. Pretty staggering when considering all things.

@Dr_Manhattan

[tt53]

That is totally sicken .why for LIFE ?

"H.R. 10545, the ‘American Relief Act, 2025,’ which provides fiscal year 2025 appropriations to Federal agencies through March 14, 2025
100 billion in Disaster aid for who?

Feds say there’s no money left to respond to hurricanes — after FEMA spent $1.4B on migrants.

FEMA spent nearly half its disaster budget in just 8 days

How many homes were skipped because they supported Trump ?

The Cost of the Border Crisis: $150.7 Billion and Counting.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the solution is simple, “Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane.

When in the hell will taxpayer get a "PARDON "from budget increases ?

Is this reliable info? I find it hard to belive that POTUS gets 450,000 a year in pension.

[tt53]

Former presidents are offered a taxable lifetime pension equal to the annual rate of basic pay for the heads of executive branch departments, like the Cabinet Secretaries. This amount is set annually by Congress and as of 2020 was $210,700 per year .

The annuity amount is based on the highest three years of a member’s salary, which is then multiplied by a congressman’s years of service and an accrual rate. The accrual rate under CSRS is 1.5%, though this can jump to 2% after 10 years. Under FERS, the accrual rate is 1% for the first 20 years and 1.1% for each year after…Most senators and representatives make an annual salary of $174,000.

[tt53]

Trump says he wants to cut 2 trillion dollars from the budget, and democrats say 2 trillion is nothing. How out of touch are democrats? do they really deserve $174,000 plus allowances of $3800 ?
In 1789, members of the Senate and the House began making $6 a day for each day they were in session, which was typically between four to five months a year.

[tt53]

"39 million illegal immigrants; "44 million unemployable people on food stamps;
And "535 utter fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”**
House Speaker Mike Johnson screwed up with his original version of the CR bill. We thought the Democrats were not getting the message of November 5. It appears the Republican Establishment isn’t getting the message, either.

[tt53]

Yes, the House passing the new spending package, which nixed an increase of the debt ceiling for two years, was the biggest obstacle, but the Senate had to pass it, and then it needed Joe Biden’s signature. There have been 21 federal government shutdowns since 1976
QUESTION -
If this vegetable is too vegetated to stand trial , why the hell is he able to sign anything or pardon anyone or spend on anything ?

Do you mind if I copy your post and share it on another forum? I’m getting a lot of grief from some of them over the pic I posted over there because I didn’t fact check it.

[Dr_Manhattan]

I believe they do, including secret service protection for life as well.

[tt53]

Not at all , you can copy any or all .

[tt53]

Retiring U.S. Supreme Court justices are entitled to a lifetime pension equal to their highest full salary. In order to qualify for a full pension, retiring justices must have served for a minimum of 10 years provided the sum of the justice’s age and years of Supreme Court service totals 80.

As of January 2020, associate justices of the Supreme Court earned an annual salary of $265,600, while the chief justice was paid $277,000.
