SCHUMER: Senate Republicans "not on board" with $2k checks

@ChadPergram

Schumer on if $2,000 stimulus checks can get through the Senate: It's up to the Senate. Every Senate Democrat is for it but unfortunately we don't have Republicans on board...I will be on the Senate floor tomorrow urging that to happen

It’s dead, nothing is going to change, the Republicans gave up on Trump. He lost and rolled over on this one.

It is false to call it socialism.

YES IT IS. Very telling indeed!!
Even alarming, if I wasn’t already disappointed at the GOP in reference to the Voter Fraud being named and confronted.
That Schumer would dare to speak for the GOP makes Kevin McCarthy look even more Paul Ryan-ish and squishy.
Kevin, stop by the Rent-A-Spine shop on your way to the Capital.

Could Schumer be playing games? Frankly I’m shocked there isn’t, what? 12 Republicans willing to vote for it..

As you say most of them don’t really care about big spending or fiscal conservatism!

Time to dump the Republican party. We need a Patriot’s Party headed by DJT.

The Pubs are complicit with the Rats in bankrupting this country & destroying it, too. They spend like there is no tomorrow, wasting money on foreigners who mostly hate us & giveaways to the rich, yet a measly $600 for Americans, all the while spending money we don’t have.

I wont be voting for Republicans anymore. I am damn tired of having to choose between one crook or the other. They are no different than Democrats - greedy & corrupt to the core.

It’s the Patriot’s Party for me or none at all.

He means the deep state insurrectionists and treasonous members are not on board with it.
They want us poor and run by CCP because they are getting big bucks to do it!

“It’s quite telling that schumer speaks for the republicans now.”

He really always has. Is there a difference between the parties?

That is interesting doc and I think you’re right.

Romney etc. usually has no problem with big spending & he’s not the only one who has voted for big spending bills over the last few years.

"It’s the Patriot’s Party for me or none at all."

$600 giveaway not big enough for you? Sounds like you might want the Welfare Party. Trump already choked by signing the omnibus bill with the foreign aid. Throwing more money add it doesn't fix it, it makes it worse.

"The Republicans will absolutely not vote for it."

No. I don't expect them to be very bright. They are so bright as to sign off on a fraudulent election to get a Democrat elected and give up control of the Senate, but not bright enough to let some extra money go to American workers hit by Covid and the resulting economic downturn.

Looks like 20 GOP US Senators are up for reelection in 2022. Any who vote against increasing payouts risk giving their opponents ammo to use against them.

Please, the GOP added a ton of the pork themselves... don’t you for one second believe this was simply D side of the aisle pork in this bill....

It passed by about 400 - 50 in the house and something like 93-7 in the Senate.

The GOP don’t give a damn about the pork... they added to it and want it.

True.

It’s all a bit confusing.

I’m just used to these spending bills passing but all of a sudden they’re fiscally conservative on 2k checks.

McCarthy is no better than Ryan. The bass turd was caught urging no investigation of the fraud, and for Trump conceding.

We see your stripes now, Kevin. They are yellow.
