The Democrat Socialist party members are putting crap in the bill that has nothing to do with the crisis.
Am I the only one that thinks two party system is bad!??
You heard it folks. Democrats don't want a stimulus package. Anything that happens at this point on is on them for not acting. Remember that.
The Irony is these people get paid from the taxes we pay, and yet they act as if the money in the government is theirs.
SO MANY STUPID PEOPLE HERE THE BILL THEY WANT TO PASS IS FOR BIG CORPORATION NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO WAS LAID OFF THE JOB OR SMALL BUSINESS THEY WANT TO PASS THIS BILL TO PROTECT TRUMP HOTELS AND HIS COMPANY AND BIG CORPORATION SO WHY WOULD THEY AGREE PN A BILL THAT ISNT FOR THE PEOPLE SO MUCH STUPIDITY HERE IF THEY PASS THIS THEN YOU WILL NEVER GET ANY ASSISTANCE FIRST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EDUCATED ITS SIMPLE IF THEY APPROVE THIS THEY WILL GIVE THE MONEY FIRST TO CORPORATION AND WHAT IS LEFT OVER WILL GO TO PEOPLE SO YES THE NEED TO REDO THE BILL AND DO THE PEOPLE FIRST AND THEN THE CORPORATION IF THERE IS LEFT OVER JUST SIMPLE AS THAT. SO DONT HURRY ANYTHING COY THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY ONCE TRUMP HAS THIS MONEY WHO DO U THINK HE WILL GIVE IT TO DUMB FCKRS
The Republicans having a hissy fit. You tried to ex out protections for workers in favor of giving tax breaks to corporations, like, what the hell is this
Mitch McConnell need to catch the virus. I bet he wont survive a week.
They had executive privilege and did what they choose to! Exactly who is playing games. Listen to Cuomo. Like Democrats, he has the answers to co-operative intelligence and effective, just in time governance.
It's getting close to pitchforks', torches and rope time.
Democrats are failing pretty bad. Yes there's a large corp. bailouts BUT at LEAST there was something in the bill to help everyone. WHY WAIT
I wish all the Politicians especially on the left would Die of AIDS.
LOANS in a time of crisis, is PROFITEERING at its finest
He is so right! The dead cannot build wall street, even if dollars by the millions are printed.
This is enough. You lock 🔐 these clowns in there, freeze their assets, no one comes out until they pass a bill or resign or die. This is what you were elected to do and you act like this. Have a taste of what Americans are going through.
I say suspend all of the salaries of Congress. You aren't democrats. Or Republicans. You are Americans. Start acting like it. Partisanship and lobbying are a plauge.
It's still all about wall Street for the majority of the Republican party. They would rather be for r failing economy because of this virus. They would rather help Wall Street and relief for Corporations and help money for them. Not the American people and equipment for help for the hospital relief and and sick and broke poor American people. I already knew 2 weeks ago after the stock market plunged that Trump would freak out because of his chances of not getting re-elected. Now trump and the Republican party r trying to do half assed help so they can say r trying and the Democrats ain't because they don't like the stupid proposal Trump's and McConnell are trying to sail to Democrats and sick American people.
You know what? McConnell/GOP & Schumer/DNC are both FAILING the American people. JUST SEND US OUT THE GODDAM CHECKS ALREADY. Sanders is rt: $2k/adult/mo until this ends. Bills are due on the 1st and the people paying your salaries & your Healthcare DEMAND you help us FOR ONCE in your careers.
Rt now, you're all being financially irresponsible, selfish, corporate sell-outs, safe in your bubble of red tape & bribe $. That can/will end rly fast. Do it now! or the ensuing economic destruction will be on your hands.
Yea let's continue to give more money to the richest people in this country and ignore the needs of people who actually need it. These billionaires could go years without another check and be fine. The corporate greed is disgusting. Who is surprised though the Republicans put there own selfish needs before the rest of the country.
Gotta love Susuan Collins speech. Look you guys said you wanted to give bail out to those who have already money and not those who don't like those who are disabled and terminally ill, common people who work for a living because they want their children's to have a better life than they have in the past. Yet we look at race when all of us should look at us as Americans because this great nation and at one point our families were immigrants. There is no one pure race. Majority of us are Americans, whatever color we may be, whatever birth Countries they might come from and love this Nation so much that they did took their citizenship. Our leadership sadly is broken. We need to come together especially during this time of Crisis. What happened when 911 happened everyone even New Yorkers got together and worked together. We're in one if the biggest pandemic and rather fighting, our leaders we voted in should represent us. They are in office because of us and rather them getting majority of support by crooked lobbyists. It is time for all of us to come together and make a reasonable and fair economic deal before our once great nation becomes something that our founding fathers did not fight for.
he can’t even form a sentence without murmuring
Gee. I hope they all don't get seriously ill with this before they can make a DECISION!
Didn't McConnell pick up and leave for the weekend… IN A CRISIS!?!?!?
Oh, and STFU Susan Collins. 🖕
Chuck Schumer New how the vote would go in the impeachment trial. But he went forward with it anyway. Lol
Nothing short of the permanent elimination of the payroll tax, thus destroying Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Disability will get the Republicans to do what is needed for the people of America. Americans think that can't happen. It has happened in other countries already. That's the deal. Total destruction of the country by Covid-19 or total elimination of the payroll tax. Larry Kudlow (appearing impaired) admitted if they eliminate the payroll tax they cannot "backfill" the lost funding for Social Security et al.
Mitch Mcconnell, the true virus infecting our country.
Your all f-ed in the head and I pray shumer and Pelosi get it and have a slow torturous death.
The reason it's taking so long is because they're trying to devise the perfect plan to keep that money from being given to Black Americans. This may take a while.

LOL. Moscow Mitch complaining about lack of cooperation while actively blocking every bill in the Senate. That toad is as corrupt as they come.
