President Trump will control how the money is actually spent. Just because it was appropriated doesn’t mean any of it has to be spent.

What a cowardly thing to do, blame one city.

Maybe someday you’ll see how silly that is.

The gubmint was gonna pass a YUGE bill and stuff their pockets either way.

You probably blame a bad BM on NYC.

Have we verified if he got this out? If true, we all need to be thanking him instead of complaining. I’m still waiting for confirmation that the vote fraud abomination was pulled from the bill.

Yes, but what of the ballot harvesting? That’s the important part.

It's funny how many of the Freepers here have the attitude of "Screw you, Jack. I got mine."

Bingo! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Sadly, you won't be alone in this country.

Yeah, I heard.

I trust that the President is aware of it and has a plan to counter it, just like he overcame the fraud in 2016, and managed to keep and grow the Senate majority in 2018. (House was a lost cause thanks to all the uniparty stooges retiring at the same time, and the ballot harvesting didn’t help.)

Unlike the rest of the uniparty presidents we’ve had since 1988, he’s quite aware of the shit that’s going on and refuses to be part of it.

Giving into despair is one of the WORST things that we can do.

I’m not there yet, but I know people who are.

I’m sure that you don’t want to hear a patronizing celebrity-type “we are all in this together” gesture (networks, please stop doing this!!!) but I am sorry that you have to go through this struggle.

Thanks.

I have faith that I’ll get through it, somehow. But it’s gonna be an unpleasant few months.

Voice vote. Kind of like a firing squad where only one shooter has live ammo. You don’t know who really did the killing.

I’m sorry for your situation, and I’m very much aware many in our communities, hard working Americans are hurting financially through no fault of their own. Many small businesses will never return.

In a heated debate regarding a proposed economic relief bill to provide financial protection for American businesses and workers during the coronavirus pandemic, one Michigan Democrat demanded to be heard after her allotted speaking time on the House floor had expired.

Donning pink latex gloves, Rep. Haley Stevens shouted at colleagues on Thursday even as she was ruled out of order. Stevens’ voice grew louder despite House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s attempts to give her more time to finish speaking.

“Sharing in the profession with those who have not come before you!” Stevens said. “Similar times of trying medical need, wars, and flus past, you will see darkness. You will be pushed, and our society needs you to stand together at this time! Our country loves you! To our doctors and our nurses, I wear these latex gloves to tell every American to not be afraid.”

At times during her explosive speech, other members of the House attempted to shout Stevens down, but she kept speaking as the gavel punctuated her out-of-procedure action.

“I’m not entirely happy about the final result, but considering that this shit has wiped me out financially and stolen what was left of my savings, it’s better than a poke in the eye.”

Sorry to hear that.
