You literally know **** all about the reason why the 13.6 billion dollar relief package was voted against. The republicans voted against it because the democrats turned a 13.6 billion dollar relief package into a 1.5 trillion dollar pork spending bill.
Horseshit. The congressman stated quite directly he would have voted FOR a relief bill...he voted AGAINST a leftist pork spending bill. You shit yourself over conservatives while ignoring the FACT that a grand total of 13.6 BILLION of a forced 1.5 TRILLION $$$ 'aid' bill actually goes to Ukraine.
Its what the piece of shit left does. There are media outlets that only exist to twist this kind of story into the midnless shit that the leftists muppets will eagerly gobble down and swallow. The only thing worse than the reality that the leftist media thinks so little of their followers is that their followers regularly prove them right.
Simple. Yeah....I couldnt describe your arguments much better.
He'll have no problem defending his vote to his constituents, simply by listing the parts of the remaining 99% of the spending in the bill that he felt he couldn't vote for, and asking them if he should have voted for them. Essentially what another senator did on Fox New Sunday, when he was asked why he voted against the bill while being in favor of the aid for Ukraine. Easy answer, if they had been voting for the Ukraine aid alone the vote in favor would have been unanimous.
..And they seem to forget that these same Republicans voted (Quite quickly) for a 1.7 Trillion tax cut for the rich. We didn't hear of "Pork" then...
You mean the tax cut that in 2018 reduced the amount owed by all taxpayers by $64 billion while raising the amount owed by the top 1% by $16 billion? The tax cut that in 2018 increased the percentage of total income taxes paid by the top 1% to 40% (a 2.3% increase) while their share of total income was at 22% (a 0.5% increase)? That tax cut?..And they seem to forget that these same Republicans voted (Quite quickly) for a 1.7 Trillion tax cut for the rich. We didn't hear of "Pork" then...

I dunno. Do you think "rich" only applies to the top 0.01%? And your article covers all taxes, not just the income taxes covered by the 2017 tax cut, it doesn't say whether they were paying more or less in income taxes after the tax cut. And since both the original article in the New York Times and the rebuttal in the Wall Street Journal are behind paywalls, most of us can't look at either.Trump Tax Cuts Helped Billionaires Pay Less Taxes Than The Working Class In 2018
For the first time ever, America’s 400 wealthiest people paid a lower tax rate in 2018 than any other group of people, according to a new study completed by economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman.
So, the rich didn't get a tax cut?
No matter what the Republicans say..the middle class is getting the proverbial 2x4 rammed up their asses. All the excuses and side stepping is still not going to change the fact that the rich are wiping out the middle class and poor.
