Over the past three days a bipartisan group of senators, not leadership, constructed a $1.6 Trillion emergency aid package to rescue the U.S. economy and American workers. The package had the support of Mitch McConnell. However, at the last minute House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, having returned from her House recess vacation sipping cocktails poolside, instructed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to crush the senate effort. Secondly, Speaker Pelosi wants unilateral control over which companies will receive any financial assistance or loans to survive the crisis.
Power hungry Pelosi sees an opportunity to use the looming economic crisis as leverage for selecting winners & losers amid the K-Street lobbying community. Donors for Democrats will be rewarded; supporters of Republicans, not-so-much. This is DC at its worst and Pelosi isnt going to lose another opportunity. Its the same process she used in 08/09. ...
There are two main points Pelosi is targeting. First, because COVID-19 creates a MASSIVE SPENDING opportunity, Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to include the elimination of college debt, literally wipe out student loans which ironically and intentionally were created under Obamacare, in the coronavirus bill.
... Secondly, Speaker Pelosi wants unilateral control over which companies will receive any financial assistance or loans to survive the crisis.

Time to declare martial law and get it done.
Why are the Democrat Filibustering the Corona Virus Relief bill?
Because they want to politicize this and make sure NOTHING gets done. Then having destroyed the economy and thrown it into into a Depression, they will lying use this as a campaign issue.
If both individuals, and business, cannot pay their bills the credit crunch that will trigger will be the worst financial crisis the world has faced since the 1930s.
Remember when you vote in Nov. Democrats are stopping help TO YOU and, actively trying to destroy your future, so they can use your fear and need to play politic
Stop being a total mindless political bigot and think for once. Trump can’t just get rid of anything. It has to pass Congress

If it’s really that capricious, I can’t see how Schumer could block cloture. Enough Dems in the Senate are bound to rebel.
Suspending taxes doesn’t do 1 cent of good to suspend taxes for the tens of millions who cannot work because of the quarantine
Extending unemployment benefits is a moronic lie made up by Democrat to fake they are doing something. Unemployment trickles out over months. It a subsitance level payment that does nothing to stimulate the economy. It merely slows the rate of bankruptcy.

Money needs to be injected into the system NOW to prevent a credit crush.
STOP playing politics, STOP clinging to ideological dogmas and THINK for once. You have to start thinking of this as the US going to war. If this was a war, none of you knee jerk political ideologies would be whining about the war time spending.
c
None of the Democrat rebelled They all voted in lock step with the leadership. THIS is your modern Democrat party NO thought just knee jerk political fanaticism
Lemmings. I’d love to see them try pinning this on Trump, even WITH a lockstep MSM.
Trump will continue to call them a “do-nothing Congress,” a page right out of Truman’s ‘48 campaign. Give ‘em hell, Donald.
And no one has stopped them?
No one?
Does Trump have to do it all himself?
Actually he did in his own way at 11:30 last night - he tweeted (in all CAPS - he’s clearly upset with the Dem’s actions) - He also is sending a word to world that he will not let the world economy be destroyed.
“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
I hear you but he still need to call them out by name and blame them for exactly putting abortions above the country.
Seems that DemoRats are above the law. Why hasn’t Hillary been indicted yet? Or that rag top wearing muzzie senator?
“Very grateful hes the one in charge. He gets it.”
Agree.
Hope he pummels the dems.
The whole world is watching the uncooperative democrats.
“...I shouldnt say this but I hope Pelosi and Schumer contract the virus and go to hades....”
Never happen. Only humans contract the virus. Demons don’t catch it. The vile, demonic Botoxian and Chuck, the Schmuck would be prime candidate though....IF they were human. /s
“...THIS is your modern Democrat party NO thought just knee jerk political fanaticism...”
The Democratic Party used to stand for the little guy....no more. That party is DEAD. This party is full-blown, rabid communist bought and paid for by the globalists and the Chinese.
Anyone that votes for, supports or condones these communist bassturds is a traitor to this country and her People.
They feel like they can get away with this carp because of the demonratcommiescumbaginfantileantifathugs wearing a black robe.
hitlary’s had so many arkanside jobs done people are afraid to cross the witch.
That towelhead should be in a penitentiary with a steady diet of PORK Pieces Parts and muddy water.
If you read the comments after that story, you realize just how many idiots there are out there. Either that, or they are paid trolls. Unfortunately, I think it’s mostly the former.
They are destroying this country faster than we comprehend.
When do we get to fight back!?
I noticed that Twitter now has posts comparing the Dow under Trump is negative compared to the same point in the terms of past presidents going back to Eisenhower...the glee is right up there with those people.
