More Spending Bill Hell: Waiver for Biden’s Defense Secretary Pick Hidden in the Mix

The DC swamp has passed a “relief package” for themselves to make up for all of the lost prizes and goodies they wanted for themselves and their foreign associates, that they feel they lost under President Donald J. Trump, and in that bill are more than a few surprises for the American people and a lesson in how DC swamp creatures look out for each other and assert their dominance over free people.
“You can’t trust them. You can’t trust the Democrats. We all know this. If you give them an inch, they take a mile. We’ve all seen this movie. So, as the government was on the verge of a shutdown, they tried to get a little sneaky regarding Joe Biden’s secretary of defense pick. They tried to sneak a waiver into the spending bill, whose text has, as of this post being written at 12:07 PM, not been released,” Matt Vespa wrote in his article, Democrats Tried to ‘QB Sneak’ a Waiver for Biden’s Defense Secretary Pick into Spending Bill, for TownHall.

Attaching the waiver to the omnibus would give political cover to some Democrats, including at least four on the Senate Armed Services Committee who have already gone on record opposing it.
Austin, a four-star Army general who retired in 2016, has not yet been out of uniform for seven years as required by law.

Stories abound with details of monies being taken from the US Taxpayer and given to foreign countries and for projects for all sorts of things Americans would not support if given a chance to say no, while the critters on the Hill claim this relief is for our own good. They tell us they are, in fact, “rescuing us” while giving us back a tiny allowance out of what they took from us.
All of a sudden everyone is getting along just fine in DC, while they work at funding each other:
