President Trump appears to be vetoing the massive $900 billion coronavirus stimulus bill passed by Congress yesterday, slamming it for being full of “wasteful and unnecessary” items.

“Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election,” Trump announced.

He added that “it’s taken forever” to get a bill together, and now it “is much different than anticipated.”

“It really is a disgrace,” the President urged, demanding that Americans have stimulus checks upped to $2,000, while all manner of pork, including mountains of foreign aid, be stripped out of the legislation.

“Send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package and maybe that administration will be me and we will get it done,” Trump raged.

Watch:

Before the bill passed the Senate Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul, one of only six Republicans who voted against the legislation, slammed it as an ‘excessive’ waste of money, and said that all Republicans voting for it are no better than the ‘socialist’ Democrats they routinely criticise.

“When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity,” Paul urged.

Paul also noted that it would have been impossible for anyone to have read the bill:

Senator Ted Cruz also noted this, agreeing with Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

The difference, however, is that Paul and Cruz voted against the bill, where as AOC just voted in favor anyway.

The bill passed the House 359-53 and the Senate 92-6, but now it appears Trump will send it back.

Senator Rand Paul slammed Republicans Monday for voting in favour of a huge $900 billion coronavirus relief bill, saying that they are no better than the Democrats they routinely label as ‘socialists’.

“To so-called conservatives who are quick to identify the socialism of Democrats: If you vote for this spending monstrosity, you are no better,” Paul urged in a speech on the Senate floor:

The Democrat controlled House, as well as the Senate passed the legislation, also tacking on a $1.4 trillion spending bill, prompting Paul to criticise the move as the government giving away “free money”.

“When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity,” Paul urged.

“If free money was the answer… if money really did grow on trees, why not give more free money?” Paul said.

“Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000? Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus? Why not $20,000 a year for everybody, why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?” the Senator proclaimed.

In addition to Paul, only five other Republicans voted against the legislation:

Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that there was no time to even read the bill, ironically agreeing with extreme leftist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

Paul also noted that it would have been impossible for anyone to have read the bill:

Paul vowed to continue to ‘sound the alarm’ over excessive spending:

In another stunning act of resistance, Joe Biden has hired two former Goldman Sachs officials to his transition team, prompting more charges that he’s filling up the D.C. swamp again.

Politico reports that Biden has hired Eric Goldstein and Monica Maher to the Department of Homeland Security Review Team, and the National Security Council Review Team, respectively.

Goldstein is currently employed as Chief Risk Officer for Antares Capital, but worked 18 years as managing director in the Merchant Banking Division of Goldman. 

Maher is still Vice President of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Goldman.

The hires clearly show that Biden has zero intention of keeping Wall Street out of government.

Biden already hired former Obama economic adviser Brian Deese, who previously worked for BlackRock, to head the National Economic council.

In addition, Biden has hired Adewale “Wally” Adeyemo, a former senior adviser for BlackRock, for the Treasury department.

These hires show without doubt that Biden’s previous promise to ‘crack down’ on Wall Street was horse shit of the purest grade, although anyone with half a brain always knew that was the case.

Indeed, Wall Street is apparently “very delighted” with Biden’s hires.

“Everybody I’ve talked to, including people on Wall Street, seem very delighted with the selections,” said Bruce Heyman, a former partner at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. “Nobody has said to me that this is really disappointing. In fact, it’s the opposite. They’ve just said, ‘This is great.’”

Biden’s hires in other areas have also been heavily criticised as he’s chosen a rogues gallery of globalist interventionists, and extreme leftist radicals.
