More BS from our fearless leaders. They passed a 2 billion dollar capitol security bill.

[Saltwater60]

Of course more hypocrisy from our leaders. We don’t need protection but oueaders need more and they will use our money to do it.
Congress passes $2.1 billion Capitol security bill

the tyrants are scared of the peasants, just as it should be

I'm thinking for security they should build a 40' wall around the capitol when they're in session.....

.... and fill it with concrete.

Welcome to the new police state. The question is - will you comply?

Certainly on its way there.

Not scared enough imo. I think this is more political posturing. People are gonna be pissed at 2 billion tax dollars being spent on this bs and they are gonna blame Trump and his supporters.

I don’t give a fuck anymore who they Think is to blame. If they’re still that fucking blind then there is no hope for them. I hope they reap everything that they’ve helped sow. Burn in hell each and every one of you lefties.

They must be thinking that the the American people are going to be really pissed off.
Not only when we get locked down again for no good reason. But on top of that, when they also steal the mid term elections. Not to mention the additional unconstitutional gun control laws that are probably coming once they use voter fraud to achieve a super majority.

They are about to pull a "hold my beer and watch this."
They just think that they need better security before they do.

This is nothing more than payment for their help on Jan 6th.

This whole thing is bullshit but what really pisses me off is that 1.1 billion is for bringing afganistan translators here.

From the article - The bill also includes roughly $1.1 billion for the special immigrant visa program to assist with Afghan interpreters coming to the United States

From the link in the first article - Lawmakers, veterans groups and refugee rights advocates have urged the administration to fly out the entire pool of about 18,000 Afghans who are seeking visas under the SIV program and have expressed fears the White House will end up evacuating a much smaller number. Administration officials have repeatedly said only about 9,000 Afghans have applications that have moved to an advanced stage.

If they bring 18000 of them here it's $61K each. If they only bring 9000 of them here it's $122K each. Once again our government chooses to give our money to other countries/people. I get that they helped our troops but even if they're allowed to move here how the hell does it cost that much?

They're not scared enough.

What could each member that voted in favor of this bill stand to gain? It comes out to around $3.9 million each.

"The House cleared the legislation 416-11 on Thursday shortly after it passed the Senate on a 98-0 vote. Biden is expected to sign it into law."

Congress Clears $2.1B for Security, Afghan Visas

Congress sent President Joe Biden an emergency $2.1 billion spending bill to cover costs associated with defending the Capitol in the wake of the Jan. 6 pro-Trump protest and to grant immigrant visas to Afghans who aided the U.S. during the war in Afghanistan.

They couldn't get this level of agreement if they were voting on 'humans breathe oxygen'. Dems would fight that the word 'human' disproportionately represents some underprivileged group, and GOP would argue that earths atmospheric composition actually contains a larger percentage of nitrogen. Then we would end up with a 6,000 page, $4 trillion plan to provide internet to Cuba.

I see this as justification to stop paying taxes.
Between "taxation without representation" and "misappropriation of funds", I'm surprised more and more aren't telling the fed.gov to fuck off.
