It’s beginning to look a lot like members of Congress won’t be going home for the holidays.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Thursday that lawmakers may have to stay on Capitol Hill over Christmas in order to hash out another coronavirus relief package and avert a looming government shutdown, as another round of marathon negotiations produced little progress.
“People do want to get home for the holidays, such as that is, but what’s more important is that we get the job done for the American people,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said at a press conference. “We’ve been here after Christmas, you know ... I can tell you stories about that if you want. So again, it has to be done before year’s end.”

Now, I'll ask you all to consider: 1) unemployment is around 7% 2) 'essential workers' which a recent story claimed encompassed a group of 90 million persons out of 123 million currently employed, never stopped working.
It seems to me that non-essential workers who are still not recalled to their companies or whose companies have gone out of business, small businesses that have spent many thousands of dollars trying to make their establishments 'covid-prevention-compliant and left flapping in the wind for their efforts, the 6% unemployed, and the elderly/disabled, are the only groups really in need of 'relief'.
So what's the hold-up taking care of these people? And why do we need trillions to do so?
Congress, the Senate, shouldn’t do a damned thing until this election theft is dealt with.

The ‘critters are out of their home pod and can’t go home ‘cause COVID.
Like speed limit signs, merely a suggestion!
Shut it down!
She delayed the covid relief bill because her FIRST PRIORITY was the USPS meetings she held right before the election!
So, she suddenly has a sense of urgency about this?
We were waiting on you months ago, Nazi.
I have a feeling that there is some skullduggery involving the current Congress that is heavier in Dems and the SCOTUS TX case going on here.
The media that hid Pelosi’s blocking of funds for US workers deprived by lockdowns of earning a living, celebrates her.
No.
The GOP should just go home.
She intentionally delayed it to swing the election and now that her party leaders are crying for it because the blue states are collapsing she demands it be fixed now?!
F her.
You made your bed - sleep in it.
Let her work over Christmas. Then Trump can ‘Pocket Veto’ the whole thing and make her start over in 2021 ... it could happen ...
> “She admits to intentionally stalling the relief bill and now wants to blackmail congress - again - into passing a bill before anyone reads it.”
My thoughts exactly. She just said like yesterday that she can now proceed because Biden will be President.
Disgusting human being.
>>> Congress, the Senate, shouldn’t do a damned thing until this election theft is dealt with.
Oh.. i don’t know.. would be kinda nice to see Pelosi authorize a stimulus thinking Joe is gonna get credit...
Just to have the rug pulled out from under her feet again.
“And that will be forever!”
The old bat needs to be stuffed down somebody’s chimney.
Oh, so NOW “it has to be done”. Now that she’s finished holding it up and try to blame Trump for it, in an attempt to hurt his election efforts.
“She admits to intentionally stalling the relief bill and now wants to blackmail congress - again - into passing a bill before anyone reads it.”
Worth repeating.
Add the $1200 item for adults just as they did before....BUT do NOT include $500 for every child....and pass the damn thing. Bite the bullet.
yup
She needs to go “blow out”....
