The White House and Senate leaders reached a breakthrough deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, Fox News has confirmed, capping off days of heated negotiations that had nearly been derailed by last-minute demands from House Democrats.
“Ladies and gentleman, we are done," White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland announced as he left the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., near midnight. "We have a deal."

Slim to none unless verified.
Personally, I am not celebrating this “breakthrough” at all. Why? Because I’m totally skeptical that the Pubbies held their ground and prevented the dems from inserting provisions which are long term not beneficial to our Constitutional rights.
I simply distrust the dems motivations in everything always. And, I furthermore distrust the Pubbies far more than the dems to ever fight against the dems no matter how outrageous the dems proposals.
Why?
Because my friends the Republicans have proven again and again and again, there is no real fight in them.
The pubbies, when the cameras are in their face say the right things.
But, when push comes to shove there are no more spineless creatures on this planet than Republicans. When our President spoke of ALL TALK NO ACTION politicians he was talking specifically about REPUBLICANS.
This should put you to sleep:

Helicopter $$ drop provision:
(This site loaded down/slow with reporters right now)
The House won’t pass it. The House Rats want more cheese.
Left out some of the liberal pork, no doubt, but Pelosi larded her version of the bill with so much more than she expected to get that there’s probably plenty left.
Bet Nancy got half or more of the pork she wanted. Probably the most destructive.
I believe Nancy actually withdrew her bill. And I’ll bet it was Schumer who told her to stick it. He’s probably also livid at her for doing another stupid thing. Yes...this is my gut talking.
I thought they were joined at the waist. I’d be SHOCKED if he didn’t want his share of the pork.
I think Cuomo is doing the dirty work for Schumer...bas**** that he is. IIRC, Schumer was ready to pass this bill early on.
Nope Ballot harvesting is still in there. The democrat proposal was 1404 pages. This one is 1403. They used this in California to steal 7 state seats, now they can do it everywhere. the provisions to challenge a harvested ballot are nuts. 2 officials who have handwriting analysis training is required to challenge a ballot. TO ALL VOTERS.
IN GENERAL.—If an individual in a State is eligible to cast a vote in an election for Federal office, the State may not impose any additional conditions or requirements on the eligibility of the individual to cast the vote in such election by absentee ballot by mail, including (A) requiring any form of identification as a condition of obtaining the absentee ballot; or (B) requiring notarization or witness signature or other formal authentication (other than voter attestation) as a condition of the acceptance of the ballot by an election official No more republicans will get elected. Perfect. I cannot believe this is still in there. But there it is, page 821. I am really afraid of what else is in there.
We’re screwed.
this worked EXACTLY like the democrats wanted. Exactly:
to take money, an airline will have to agree to reduce emissions by 50% by 2050.
All the democrats wet dream shit is still in there. EVERY F$%^ING WORD.
This should put you to sleep?????
It should WAKE YOU THE F&^K UP!!!
Based on what, where are you reading that ballot harvesting and the green new deal are still in there?
That’s gonna take a long time.....if we ever really know all of it.
Well I guess Republicans will haw to harvest ballots as well I mean it’s in the bill. Maybe the republicans wanted it in the bill.
If it passes in the House, the president could still veto it if he’s not happy with what’s in it.
When we’re talking about the single largest government spending bill in U.S. history, I think its better to get it right.
If the president signs it, he owns it.
there is a link in post 23 that will take you to the PDF.you could read it yourself. page 829
