There will be no new votes on the Senate’s coronavirus phase three bill Monday, delaying efforts to push through the nearly $2 trillion stimulus package.

“We will not be having any votes tonight,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
Because of the failed procedural vote earlier Monday afternoon, Mr. McConnell needed to essentially restart the clock on a new procedural vote — teeing that up for Wednesday.
The bill is stalled in the chamber as lawmakers continue to haggle over details within the economic stimulus package aimed to get cash to the American public, funds to overwhelmed healthcare facilities, loans to hard-hit corporations and small businesses.

Republicans accused Democrats of prioritizing an ideological wish list over a bipartisan agreement.

Meanwhile, one of the Democrats’ chief complaints is that Republicans still have too much wiggle room in their package for large scale corporations that will receive federal loans.

The dems are playing politics while people are being laid off from their jobs.

the public opinion blowback from this is going to make the post impeachment polls look like the good old days.

Meanwhile, on cnn, Michael and Fredo are feuding

I know several people who were laid off from their job today. They will struggle without the income.

Do the Demon-crats believe the People, especially the "swing voters," will support their blocking this bill? If they do, they are mad.

Of course, delay equals more layoffs, more economic damage, more Americans out of work.

Anything to prolong the crisis.

They don't need the swing voters.

They have the built in Illegal and Questionably-Legal Vote.

Here in Minnesota....... Last year at this time there were about 1,000 claims for unemployment in a week.

Last week over 100,000 claims were submitted.

We went from the best unemployment numbers in history to the worst unemployment numbers in history in one week.

Schumer and Pelosi are the worst chamber Rat leaders I've ever seen. Trying to add riders to the bill that have absolutely nothing to do with the relief efforts.

I just can't fathom the sheer audacity and pride that would make someone do what they are doing, and to do so at the expense of the very public they swore to help and defend.

They are both traitors of the worst kind and deserve nothing but a criminal trial and expulsion from their jobs.

Are the going to take out the ballot harvesting, Federalizing elections?

[livius]

How the heck can they get away with this?The bill was about to be passed on a bipartisan vote and then Nancy and Chuck swanned in.

Americans should be out in the streets rioting. Trump was trying to do the right thing, a bill that gave immediate relief to lower income Americans but also encouraged the businesses that are the employers of these workers.

But of course the privileged Dems, many of whom have done nothing but politics...or in the case of Nancy and DiFi, being married to a rich man for whom they reaped copious benefits once they got into power....couldn’t be bothered with us little people.

Told the guys at work about the Democratic games that are being played, they just lost 10:votes come November.

[Aquamarine]

The dems are ruthless, they have no compassion for their constituents. They only care about power, these actions will cost them the power that they have now.

[Hattie]

They said way back they didn’t care if they destroyed our country if they could get rid of Trump.

It’s amazing that these rat-bastiges forgot to rename the racist/offensive (for them) position of “whip”!

[Jaded]

You still have the alphabets saying “its all the Republicans giving money to big business”. Not a word, the one, first about all of the needless crap they included.

“I just can’t fathom the sheer audacity and pride that would make someone do what they are doing, and to do so at the expense of the very public they swore to help and defend.”

The Democrats have nothing to gain from a recovery.
