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."

Every headline says 2T. Nowhere is it printed that it’s actually 6T. I only found out tonight on Hannity and about fell over. Misinformation once again.

That’s the House bill, which Nancy withdrew.
It says “House” right in the link.
The agreement was between McCuckold & Schemer in the Senate.

Are you up to speed, trolling, or what?

It is, after all, an election year for Mr. Elaine Chao (I mean McTurtle).

That document looks 2 days old. Submitted from the house (pelosi) to the senate.

All spending bills originate in the House
I really don’t want to be right, but I am afraid I am.
I would be thrilled to be proven wrong, I really would.

The last time Turtle rolled over was that omnibus. Full of Pelosi pork
Trump loudly declared he’d never sign another bill like that. Wanna bet.
Trump could stand strong and demand a clean bill only “germain” provisions. Pelosi has the full blame and rath.
But he has already declared he’d sign it if it passes.
Im livid.

Lindsey Graham was "threatening" the Senators with cutting their pay if they didn't settle their differences. I'm sure that unnerved them so much they decided to get 'er done! Har de har har!

If you believe that, I've got a bridge I can sell you.

Except for Obamacare, but that was different somehow.

No way Trump would sign what you claim. I recommend you calm down and wait to see what was really agreed to.

The House bill looks like Pelosi’s bill from the 23rd.

Not sure but didn’t McConnell open cloture on a shell house bill?
Not expert on senate procedures but think this is why the RATs so pissed, means he could just replace house legislation w/senate version. Senate votes & then back to house.
Think Harry Reid used this procedure all the time, wasn’t Obummercare passed this way?

Ballot harvesting has become the Holy Grail, right up there with abortion. That was HB1 the day Pelosi got the gavel. It’s electoral death for republicans. Turtle is famous for rolling over. If ballot harvesting is in there we’re really screwed. AND WE’re holding ALL the cards, we have the winning hand yet Pelosi calls the shots
