A Thursday bill is TOO LATE TO AVOID A POCKET VETO.

So, It better be a bill Trump likes or it's DEAD!

Yet another poignant moment where the Country is once again reminded that Trump IS looking out for everyone’s best interest.

2000 dollar stimulus checks? I don’t ever remember Pelosi ever saying this until Trump talked about it tonight

lets call this what it is theft of the future. the republic is doomed because we now have figured out that if we need money all we have to do is use the vote to take it...Venezuela we are not to far from taking your example and expanding it.

“ lets call this what it is theft of the future. the republic is doomed”

Do you have a record of complaining about the cost of our Middle East wars , and can you show me a post where you have called for withdrawal from Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq? I’m just curious how much you’re really concerned about deficit spending, or whether like so many Republicans it’s only when money goes to Americans in need here at home that “we can’t afford it!”

In any case, Trump ran as a JFK Democrat, not a Mitch McConnell /mccain/Romney Republican . He said he’d spend less overseas and more at home, so we were warned

@SpeakerPelosi: Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000.

The old witch makes it sound like she got President Trump to agree to the amount that she wanted to give. B.S.

That’s the real question. Yeah, 600 wasn’t enough, but it was all the unrelated pork crap that pissed me off.

I dont want any of the money being spent the way it is. the 600 dollars is just there to shut everyone up about the real theft that is the other money. I would be happier if the only covid relief was payments to families. would not like it because I think all work is necessary work and the world was stupid for shutting down its labor forces.

I think that’s what “stand alone”
means.

I am talking about his blocking Hawley's attempt to have a $1200 stimulus. The foreign aid and other crap should be CUT.

America is BROKE!!!!!!!!This is madness!!!!!!!The only remedy is opening everything up and keeping Trump POTUS and they both will not happen. Blowing $2000 bucks on every American and Billions more on pork is one more step to the fiscal lights going out and THAT will be devastating and truly burn the country down.

I think it’s more likely the terrible PR Nancy has been getting by calling the $600 plan “significant,” when she called Trump’s earlier $1200 stimulus “crumbs.”
