Thomas Massie Catches Bipartisan Flak for Suggesting Congress Actually Vote on $19 Billion in Disaster Funding. Expand From your link: "If the Speaker of the House felt this was must-pass legislation, the Speaker of the House should have called a vote on this bill before sending every member of Congress on recess for ten days," said Massie on the House floor, adding later on Twitter that "passing an unbudgeted $19 billion spending bill without a vote of Congress is legislative malpractice." Massie's objection came a few days after Rep. Chip Roy (R–Texas) did the same thing, opposing the bill over both process concerns and its lack of $4.5 billion in border funding. The delay had produced bipartisan irritation. "The heartlessness of House Republicans knows no bounds," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–Calif.) in a statement. "Just days after sabotaging a bipartisan and bicameral bill to provide urgently-needed relief to millions of American families reeling from natural disasters, House Republicans have repeated their stunning act of obstruction." "I just think that we can do a lot better by passing what's good rather than vote 'no' waiting for the perfect," said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R–N.D.), who voted for the disaster package in the Senate. Congress has been trying to pass a disaster relief bill since January when the Democrat-controlled House approved a $14 billion aid package. Dear Leader Pelosi reminds me of the terrorists like Hamas who hide their rocket launchers, etc. in and amongst women and children. She won't go along with supporting our border laws and blames her opposition for the fallout.

Pelosi says the Republicans are obstructionist for wanting to have a vote on bill that has had a $14 billion aid package approved back in January? what have the Donners been doing since January to not have it passed by now before trying to get it enacted by default? oh... right. what ***** Bizzaro world are we living in??
