Earlier this month, Pelosi said, “We are the captains of the ship. We are the last to leave.”

“Cisneros needs to STFU and do the job his constituents elected him to do...”

His constituents elected him to go to DC and bring home the goodies for them.

IF people have to keep the grocery stores, drug stores, hospitals open...then lazy boy can fly his sorry rear up to DC to do what he’s paid to do.

The bill is what RINOs wrote.

Posted elsewhere:
"...given Trump does not have line-item veto authority...McConnell early on should have publicly announced, 'This bill will contain only relief for the CV19 crisis; all other matters will be handled in the normal manner in separate bills.'"

My first response was to be critical of Massie.

But the entry level bag boys at the grocery store are reporting to work despite the risk of getting the red flu. They understand their job is to help people get food and other necessities.

During the campaign season I get four flyers a day from candidates asking me to elect them to Congress so they can fight for me day and night. Now, in an emergency, the Congress critters are no where to be found.

Congress needs to be at their work stations in Washington doing the one thing no one else can: voting.

I imagine there are alot of us service members abroad would like to be with family at this time, but, they do the job required of them. The congressman need to follow there example and quit whining.

[ironman]

Why did all these Congressman leave DC in the first place? The Senate got it done.

If Nancy hadn’t stalled the thing in the first place it could be done and over with.

[bgill]

The blame falls squarely on Pelosi.

I guess Ruben forgot who he works for?

"Butt, it sounds like the kennedy center and money for immigration and money for pbs/npr is gonna be safe."

I wonder how many American citizens will pay for those little gratuities with their lives?

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

A voice vote means ‘Rats can avoid voting and then complain when/if there are issues from what’s in the bill or what’s left out. Now they own it just as much as Repubs. Good politics, if not good government...
