“Our bipartisan discussions are continuing to make significant headway toward another relief package for the American people,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the Senate floor.

Bipartisan means the GOP does what the Dems want to do.

Let me guess...government will buy out our many failing small businesses at cut rate prices, staff them with cheap, unionized immigrant labor, stock them with foreign goods and foods to hurt our manufacturers and farmers next, and then reopen like crazy.

Translation: “we plan to give the Democrats pretty much EVERYTHING they are asking for, while we get NOTHING in return”.

Thanks, Mitch. Same old same old. We’re on to you, buddy. 75 million of us.

He wouldn’t even discuss it back in September and October when it could’ve assisted Trump. Now he’s happy to sit down with Pelosi. The hell with this guy, and his party.

I’m going to be totally pissed off if it includes ANY bailouts for any cities or states.

Another way of saying it is the Democrats are looking for accomplices. -Tom

More spending on the shoulders of our Great grandchildren.

Open the damn country, remove all the stupid and ineffective lockdowns, restrictions, etc.

Treat COVID patients at their first symptoms with the KNOWN helpful drugs and live life.

The evidence is now so very clear that NOTHING in how this virus is being addressed as ANY foundation in truth or an effort to “save lives”.

That reminds me. I am making some Cha Siu tonight. Maybe I can make Mitch an extra plate with mustard so hot his nose will turn so red that he could switch places with Rudolph. We need to make things so hot he’ll do anything for a glass of water. Yes, Cha Siu, hot mustard and hot chocolate on that Christmas table for Santa McClaus. LOL!

How about no deal on that nonsense and spend the time on approving another Trump judge?

That will be coming as soon as Biden takes over. I ‘ll bet if they were not getting paychecks and about to lose their homes there would have been a deal months ago or this economy would have never been shut down. These clowns live in mansions at our expense and tell us what we can and cant do for work.

The GOP always caves. It is a pathetic, soulless party.
