It's the biggest turd ever dropped on the United States of America, and Republican Speaker Paul Ryan just dropped it on you.

Let's see what wonderful conservative gems we can find, shall we?

(1) Ryan’s Omnibus Fully Funds Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

(2) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Sanctuary Cities

(3) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds All Refugee Programs

(4) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds All of the Mideast Immigration Programs That Have Been Exploited by Terrorists in Recent Years

(5) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Illegal Alien Resettlement

(6) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds the Release of Criminal Aliens

(7) Ryan’s Omnibus Quadruples H-2B (unskilled) Foreign Worker Visas

(8) Ryan’s Omnibus Funds Tax Credits for Illegal Aliens

(9) Ryan’s Omnibus Locks-In Huge Spending Increases

(10) Ryan’s Omnibus Fails to Allocate Funds to Complete the 700-Mile Double-Layer Border Fence That Congress Promised the American People

Now you might be asking yourself, if we gave all of this to the left, what did we get in return? Well good news!!!

One of the few setbacks for President Obama - the lifting of a ban on U.S. crude oil exports

But Ryan wouldn't want to inconvenience his new best bud Barack too much, so...

Josh Earnest said the loss was not particularly troubling because the U.S. already exports 4.3 million barrels of refined petroleum per day and another 500,000 barrels of crude oil via wavers of the ban.

To salve that loss, Mr. Earnest also said the budget agreement includes the largest spending on renewable energy in history, and that that Democrats fought off several GOP efforts to undermine Mr. Obama’s plan for a “low-carbon” future.

But hey, those scrappy little Republicans beat back San Fran Nan on funding gun control research, so we got that going for us, which is nice. That's not all though! It was a tough fight, but they managed to prohibit the State Department from spending money to maintain private email accounts! Aren't you impressed that they stopped the DoS from paying for PRIVATE email accounts for it's executives?

Folks, that's $3,172 in additional financial obligations for every man, woman and child in America. Still feel like the land of the free?

I knew Paul Ryan was bad news from his voting record. I never wanted him in a leadership position. He is the ultimate RINO. No wonder Congress has the lowest approval ratings ever. They do not represent the people that they govern.😡

FWIW, Bridenstine, Mullin, Inhofe and Lankford all voted no.

Lucas and Cole voted yes (WTF is wrong with you western OK voters???)

Oddly enough, I can't find a single source as to Russell's vote, or even if he voted? :scratch:

gtg, you sure? the radio said only Bridenstine voted nay

Yeah, Lankford and Inhofe voted for it.

So did Russell in the House: http://therightscoop.com/breaking-house-passes-omnibus-spending-bill/

I am d.o.n.e. With the GOP.
