They literally corrupt everything they touch. – Including stimulus bills in time of national emergency, as we found out last night. At the prodding of Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democrats banded together to filibuster the stimulus bill working its way through that chamber, a bill that had been exhaustively negotiated between congressional leader of both parties – including San Fran Nan – for three days. By late morning on Sunday, it appeared that a deal had been struck:
Leader McConnell ✔ @senatemajldr This morning I hosted a meeting with congressional leadership and Sec. Mnuchin. It is time to come together, finalize the results of our bipartisan discussions, and get the CARES Act to the President’s desk.

But just hours after that meeting concluded, San Fran Nan began making noises about how the Senate bill was “inadequate” and promising to move her own bill in the House. The hangup? Well, abortion, of course. Seems the Senate bill doesn’t provide a bailout for Planned Parenthood, and the party of abortion on demand cannot possibly allow their baby-killing machine to suffer like everyone else in our society. It’s their religion, after all. Well, one of their religions, along with Climate Change and Alinskyism.
From the PJMedia article linked above:
Even more ominous to Democrats was a Medicaid restriction that would hurt Planned Parenthood and other non-profits.
A Democratic aide said that the small business provision was drafted to exclude non-profits who receive Medicaid from being eligible for Small Business Administration assistance offered under the bill. That, according to the aide, would impact Planned Parenthood but also community health centers, rape crisis centers and disability service providers.
Planned Parenthood is not a “small business” and non-profits, as their name implies, aren’t “businesses” either. Tens of millions of dollars — or more — could be denied to real small businesses who need that cash as well.
[End]
Thus, the Democrats are willing to tank the stock market even further and throw thousands more people out of jobs so that their baby-killing “non-profit” (except from the sale of baby body parts) factories can keep killing. Does it get any more ghoulish than that? Hard to imagine how.
Meanwhile, Quid Pro Joe prepares to create even more confusion and division. – Many have been wondering where the nation’s Unfrozen Caveman Senator has been over the past week, since he basically disappeared from view after wins in several state primaries on Tuesday.
The answer came in a piece by Politico on Friday: He’s planning to hold what he is calling “regular shadow briefings” to provide his supporters in the corrupt news media with alternative talking points to what the President’s Coronavirus Task Force is telling the public:
Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.
Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.
“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don’t come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.”
Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.
[End]
Why would he do this, you ask? Why, because the Task Force briefings have proved to be very effective in keeping the public informed, in the process providing the President with a platform to speak directly to the American people. As a result, the President’s public approval rating has skyrocketed, rising into the mid-50s in multiple polls last week.
This reality created a panic situation in the Democrat/media complex of propaganda late in the week. The media responded with a new narrative, accusing the President of lying, with op/eds in both the NY Times and Washington Post demanding that the networks actually stop covering the briefings. Now, despite Quid Pro Joe’s obvious advancing mental decline, they are urging him to get out there multiple times a week to provide a rebuttal to the President that all the networks will also air.
So, in a time of national crisis and a declared state of national emergency, we see the Democrats and their media toadies planning a process that is intentionally designed to decrease public confidence in government, increase confusion and produce outright panic.
Make no mistake about it: That is literally the outcome these demented and depraved people prefer. They are so mad with their pursuit of power that they would rather see millions of ordinary Americans suffer, lose their retirements, and see mass rioting in the streets than to see President Trump’s public approval ratings tick up by 5 percentage points because he’s doing a good job.
It used to be fair to merely say that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for socialism. As of this morning, it is entirely fair to say that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for the destruction of our economy and our society.
Stop doing it, folks.
That is all.
They probably shorted stocks.
All should be investigated, yeah right
It’s not the job of the federal government to hand out stimulus or other welfare money.
In eight weeks the virus will have infected the majority of Americans and life will go back to normal for most Americans.
Small business people or their relatives should just take out home equity loans.
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.
Suspending taxes doesn’t do 1 cent of good to 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 substance level payment that does nothing to stimulate the economy. It merely slows the rate of bankruptcy.
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.
Money needs to be injected into the system NOW to prevent a credit crush.
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
Let the self-employed get SE tax refunds and waivers for 2018, 2019 and 2020 in exchange for future personal four percent per year SS benefit reductions.
Let the self-employed get SE tax refunds and waivers for 2018, 2019 and 2020 in exchange for future personal four percent per year SS benefit reductions.
Completely agree with this. The simplest and most elegant solution for small businesses.
If ya' didn't know better you'd think the democrat leadership is afraid of something horrible happening to them personally if they don't keep the daily sacrifice of infants to Moloch going.
JMHo
The economy for health care reasons needs to contract for about eight weeks.
People need to learn to spend money carefully.
If you need work badly, make somebody a good offer.
Example: Dear Homeowner, the price of my bid of January 7 for work at your home at 34 Bush Drive is now 10% less if accepted by April 16th.

If this is true then it’s wrong. But from what I’m reading the major hang-up is senate Republicans won’t agree to a provision not allowing business to buy back their stock or pay bonuses. If that is true the senate republicans are the ones in the wrong. If these businesses need the help of the people’s money to stay afloat the shouldn’t be using it for those purposes. Businesses shouldn’t be profiting off this bailout.
Massive error has been made by our leaders that will take decades to recover from.
“Small business people or their relatives should just take out home equity loans.”
And people and businesses who invested in bundled mortgage securities can stop collecting interest payments.
Make the chicoms and their enablers, Democrat and Republican pay for it. Anyone who has actively worked against the USA to outsource to china should be subject to surrendering their assets to assist American afflicted by the chicom disease. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, the traitors need to be outed and destroyed, why waste the opportunity?
Yep, the politicians that allowed this are to blame.
Trump should be calling them out over this.
So launching a Weapon Of Mass Economic Destruction (WMED) results in a shooting Civil War.
