LINK Action on Stimulus Bill Halts as Senate Clerks Read All 628 Pages Aloud

WASHINGTON — With President Biden’s nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill moving toward passage, Senator Ron Johnson brought proceedings to a halt on Thursday by demanding that Senate clerks recite the 628-page plan word by word, delaying action to register his objections.

The maneuver by Mr. Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, was unlikely to change any minds about the sweeping pandemic aid plan, which would deliver hundreds of billions of dollars for vaccine distribution, schools, jobless aid, direct payments to Americans and small business relief, and has broad bipartisan support among voters. Republicans signaled that they would be unified against it, and Democrats were ready to push it through on their own, using a special fast-track process to blow past the opposition.

How many more people have to die for the dumb Republicans will start giving a damn about the little people?

Well, after they read it, enough people actually understood the bill to pass it. Whatever it takes! Given that most of the time the Senators don't even bother reading them and just do what their leaders tell them to.

The next time a Republifascist introduces a bill, he/she should be required to read it frontwards and backwards, three times each, while standing on their heads with their thumbs stuffed up their butts.

That clerk deserves combat pay.
