While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the Republican (fascist/socialist) 52nd counterfeit CONgress (elected in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment) passes the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017, providing enough funds to keep the Federal government running through the end of the current fiscal year.

       NOTE: When it was initially drafted, the act was 1,655 pages long.  That was longer than the infamous American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed by Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) which Republicans were so hypocritically critical of.  So much for conservative Republicans!
