Mnuchin: Thanks to the wonderful Chuck Schumer for the bipartisan cooperation.
Why are you all so shocked? McConnell and many Repukes in Congress answer to the same Deep State masters the RATs do. We will never get enough of the kind of conservatives there to change things profoundly so I take whatever victories we can get, but knowing it’s going to mean eating a lot of crap sandwiches too. We always hope to get elected Republicans who emulate Devin Nunes, but too many of them are bought off globalist cowards like McConnell. Reality sucks!
Ok, if we don’t want this to happen again (?)....you know who to vote for this Fall.
This bill stinks on ice. Worse than the Bush and Obama rubbish bailouts.
Lovely. (sarcasm)
this thread needs to be poofed on the grounds of sheer embarrassment.
$350,000,000.00 / $2,000,000,000,000 = 0.018%
The numbers are so huge, you lose sight of the fact that $350 million is less than two hundredths of one percent of the whole fiasco.
Here’s the way I see it, and I could be wrong, but maybe not.
The Rs and Ds seemingly had a good deal until Nanzi rode into town. Nanzi added her poison pork. Now, who suffers if the new poison deal is not accepted? Not the dems. They want the country to continue in decline and the president knows this. They’d be delighted to have the Rs refuse to sign the deal and with their cohorts in the media, it would all be played out as the Rs fault and all hell would have broken loose.
There was no way that the Ds weren’t going to get SOME of their goodies. It sounds like they were trying to get a lot more than they did, but the Rs got it down the best they could. I suspect the Ds were somewhat disappointed that the bill passed at all, even with the goodies they got.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are mad enough that it passed and they put the screws to it tomorrow. Sinking the president is their top priority, and the Rs know this. If this didn’t get done, it’s quite likely the president was kissing a second term goodbye, thanks to the media covering for the vile Ds.
Honestly, the Ds are so evil, and so petrified of another Trump term, I shudder to think what they have up their sleeves for their next attempt.
How much for the wall to protect us from diseased migrants?
Too bad Trump can’t do a line-item veto.
The Uni-Party always gets its graft. Always.
What an insult.
Trump’s gonna commandeer that to use on the wall to assist ‘migrants’ to steer clear of the wanton-flu-infested USA.
IF this is the Bill there is wiggle room
“$350,000,000, to remain available until expended, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.”
It specifically talks to refugees and CV. Keep building the Wall, cut off legal immigrants, kill off the virus.
Trump controls the money.
Since we’re in the throes of a declared national emergency, can he use that money to build a wall ?
regardless that the bill says POTUS has to spend it according to blah, blah, blah of the Balanced Budget Act ?
Might as well include the 88 million for the Peace Corps, which just had all it’s employees fired.
Makes me SOOOOO angry! Hope our President sends the bill back.
As I understand it, the is discretionary spending being added to an already existing program. That doesn’t mean that it all has to or will be spent. It’s just additional money being allocated in case it’s needed. Maybe someone who knows more about it than I do can confirm or refute me on that.
No comment. I was going to post a comment but I don’t need govt agents in my office.
Kudos to Pelosi for having more balls than GOP “men”. She has the measure of her spineless opponents. I can’t blame her for pushing them around.
I will not be voting in November...whether I am alive or dead...no more voting for republicans.
I would never vote democrat..best to stay home..
