@RandPaul
FYI- The 2200+ page, budget-busting Omnibus has been printing for two hours in my office and still isn’t done.
Here is some items that got funded (from RP twitter)
1-$350,000 NSF spent asking if japanese quail are more sexually promiscuous on cocaine.
2-$961 million to destroy our chemical weapons. Who was it, exactly, who convinced our government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find deplorable?
3-$1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
4-$51m to promote International Family Planning and Reproductive Health
5- $7m promoting International Conservation
6-$10m for UN Environmental Programs
7-$1m for the World Meteorological Organization
8- $218m for Promoting Democracy Development in Europe (yep..the birthplace of democracy needs promoting)
9-$25m for International Religious Freedom
10-$10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students
11- boarder security for Middle eastern countries:

Defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia
and many many more important items lulz

Someone needs to fark Trumps head on Steve Martin in The Jerk when he's writing out all those checks for the Optigrab lawsuit.

Is this a joke? 1-$350,000 NSF spent asking if japanese quail are more sexually promiscuous on cocaine.
The government. They love to waste money. 2-$961 million to destroy our chemical weapons. Who was it, exactly, who convinced our government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find deplorable?
Can't really have a valid opinion on something so vague, but sounds bad. 3-$1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
I'm not totally against this. Less starving people. 4-$51m to promote International Family Planning and Reproductive Health
This is a good thing actually. 5- $7m promoting International Conservation
Also a good thing. 6-$10m for UN Environmental Programs
Also a good thing. 7-$1m for the World Meteorological Organization
Seems like a waste. Probably embezzlement. 8- $218m for Promoting Democracy Development in Europe (yep..the birthplace of democracy needs promoting)
Seems like a waste. Probably embezzlement. 9-$25m for International Religious Freedom
No. Just no. 10-$10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students
Maybe it would help reduce conflict? But seems like a waste. 11- boarder security for Middle eastern countries:

So after everyone gets done laughing and feigning outrage at Trump, what as voters are we going to do about it?

Where's the $100 million for training East Africans on how ro use the internet? Has it been cut? What kind of world are we living in?

I haven’t and won’t vote republican ever again till the wall is funded and/or entitlements are slashed to nothing.

12- $1 million for printers, ink cartridges, paper, and staples to print out bills

Why are Middle Eastern countries wanting border security? Told it doesn’t and can’t work. Also it isn’t humane! How dare they!
