The GOP Shows It's a Black Comedy Joke, Tweeting, "The GOP Believes In Limited Government"

They claimed this after Senate Republicans rushed to vote for a $1.7 trillion omnibus give-away budget none of them read, and they rushed that vote precisely to keep House Republicans from attempting to limit government.

Mitch McConnell admitted that if your priority was limiting government, you'd punt on the omnibus until the next term of Congress and let the House Republicans into the process.

But if your priority was funding Ukraine, you'd rush to giveaway everything to the Democrats now, just to make sure that no House Republicans limited the slushfund for Ukraine.

And then he showed which was more important to him.

We cannot go on like this.

The response was nothing short of brutal, and it was conservatives leading the charge.

"Obviously not," responded the Hodge Twins. "Who used 9/11 to create the Patriot Act to spy on us? Who just voted to send our tax dollars overseas? Who just voted to give the agencies more of our tax dollars so they can censor us and call us domestic terrorists? Republicans did, and most of y'all are cowards."

"Tell that to the Republican politicians who voted for the Omnibus," said DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, for instance, made it clear that Republicans could have held strong against Democrats on the omnibus but they failed to uphold their own principles and added that the claim from the GOP that it's the party of fiscal responsibility is a lie.

"We have completely and totally abdicated the power of the purse. Republicans are emasculated. They have no power, and they are unwilling to gain that power back," Paul said.
