Apparently, they aren't quite through with that yet either:
Stimulus Bill Includes Amendment to Nullify POTUS use of Insurrection Act
https://djhjmedia.com/kari/...-of-insurrection-act
Shocking details of the giant bill passed by both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives on Tuesday exposes how civil servants in DC view their host, the American Taxpayer, including one amendment that was attached to the spending bill that would limit the President’s Constitutional authority as Commander and Chief.
In a shocking power grab the power-drunk office dwellers hid in the 5,893-page bill a provision that says: “Nullifies the President’s use of the Insurrection Act.”
Posters on Twitter found the details and reported on them:

People were bribed, they got fat and happy and stopped paying attention.
Bread and circuses: welfare, $15/hr minimum wage, pablum, etc.
"Sure, give a few million dollars to Iran. I got my new SUV, big screen TV and ObamaCare. What do I care?"[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 12-23-2020).]

That's an assertion:
| quote | | The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 nullifies the Insurrection Act. |
|
The assertion is "False", according to Snopes(.com) and so--according to Snopes(.com)--the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 does not nullify the Insurrection Act

It's a good thing that no one came back here at me with "Yeah, Snopes(.com), just a bunch of left-wing b*lls**t, who's gonna believe anything from Snopes(.com)..?"
It's a good thing because I was going to say "I'm like the anti-matter version of Rudy Giuliani. I can smell another uber-rightwing reactionary media, bow down to Trump, nullifies the Insurrection Act kind of 'crock' like this from a mile away."
Fortunately, I don't have to say that.
Newsweek has another column on it that lines up with Snopes.
Neither the new Coronavirus Relief or "stimulus" bill or the new National Defense Authorization Act legislation would nullify the Insurrection Act.

Trump just signed the Covid-relief bill, averting a government shutdown.

The ACA started as a 12 page document and got bloated after over a year of negotiations from both House and Senate making changes. Bottom line is both sides knew what was in the ACA from the start as they both worked on the bill over a long drawn out period of time. The current covid relief bill was written behind closed doors in a hurry after much wasted time of doing nothing but done intentionally because they 1) needed to come up with something 2) did not want anyone to have time to read it so as to make sure a lot of money goes to those who need it the least while screwing over those who need it the most.

Not exactly true... that, or, they were openly lying to the public about it.
One or the other. Or both.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-30-2020).]
