It’s almost as if the “Republicans” are really just Democrats masquerading as Republicans. Today’s Omnibus crap bill includes plenty of funding for pork projects like Chuck Schumer’s New York-New Jersey tunnel project. There is even a bunch of money in the bill for new gun control measures. Despite a record $1.3 trillion tax payer dollars been tossed around like candy, there is NOTHING in this bill for Trump’s promised border wall. The Democrats are happy, the RINO Republicans are happy and the voters get screwed yet again. Trump is expected to sign this bill without as much as a whimper.

Congressional leaders have agreed to strengthen background checks for gun purchases as part of a must-pass government funding package, according to a senior GOP source.
The bipartisan Fix NICS (National Instant Criminal Background System) Act, which would encourage states to report more frequently to the current criminal database, will be attached to the omnibus spending bill that is expected to be unveiled Wednesday afternoon.
The funding measure will also include money for a House-passed school safety measure designed to help train personnel to spot signs of potential gun violence and to beef up school security.
The massive spending bill is not expected to have any new gun control measures.
Congress is hoping to vote on the omnibus before current government funding runs out on Friday, a day before nationwide gun violence protests are scheduled to take place all around the country — including in Washington, D.C.
Lawmakers have been under intense public pressure to enact tougher gun laws since the deadly school shooting in Florida last month, a sense that was only further amplified by yet another school shooting in Maryland on Tuesday.
