Congress passed the second COVID-19 relief package on Monday night as the vast majority of lawmakers voted in favor of a second round of stimulus checks, tax deductions and federal aid for schools and small businesses.
But the House and Senate votes to whisk the 5,593-page bill through Congress were not unanimous. A few dissenters on both sides of the aisle took issue with elements of the $900 billion stimulus package, its overall size and the short amount of time that they had to sift through reams of proposals.
The House of Representatives voted 359-53 on the bill, with two Democratic lawmakers and 50 Republicans breaking with party leadership on the proposals. The Libertarian Rep. Justin Amash also voted against the bill.

Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii were the two House Democrats who voted against the package.
Next year Nancy won't have as much of a advantage, won't be able to lose many votes.
Because it’s a porkulus omnibus spending bill, not a COVID relief bill.
More Senators and Representatives should be voting against it.
I want to know why the other idiots voted yes.
I’d like to hear both Republicans and Democrats who voted for this monstrosity to explain why they voted for a bill that has 20% dealing with Covid and 80% dealing with useless pork. Disgusting! We need to vote all of them out.
Easy.
All the pork.
Make it ONLY stimulus money and don’t add ANYTHING else to it.
Shoot, Loeffler (NC) - or whoever wins in January - is up again.
Free ! Free! Free just means let the kids pay for it
Where’s the commercial or video showing a toddler happily playing suddenly being demanded to pay its thousands of dollars share of the national debt ? When the toddler breaks into screaming” HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME ???” in tears ? posted this in my website

If this fraudulent election wasn’t going on Trump should vetoed this. NOW I HOPE HE EXPLAINS AND BLAMES THAT SHAKEDOWN FORCING ITS PASSAGE.
That democrat controlled house 5000 or more page budget blaster hasn’t been examined but I bet there is Bailouts for sanctuary states and cities along with a mountain of other appropriations going for give-a-way projects
“we got ours...you’ll get yours”
Exactly!
President Trump should call a press conference (about this bill, the left WILL cover it LIVE!)
He should VETO this bill, right there on live TV if he wants to.
As to why he is vetoing it, he should point out all the PORK, BILLIONS going to foreign countries, illegals, etc., and that Congress could only come up with a lousy 600 bucks for YOU!
Even IF Congress has the votes to override my veto, I want to stand up for you, the American people, who deserve much better than this porkulus spending bill.
Now, before taking questions, I just want to make a couple of things perfectly clear, I AM NOT GOING TO CONCEDE THIS ELECTION, EVER! The reason is that I WON! If you only count all the LEGAL votes, it is clear that I won even a BIGGER victory in 2020 than I did in 2016. We have the evidence and the PROOF.
Now I will take questions.....
Mr. President, (or advisors) make sure you use the phrase exactly as written...
“Congress could only come up with a lousy 600 bucks for YOU!”
“I want to know why the other idiots voted yes.”
Others have sons like Hunter?
Voting for Covid relief would be ok but this almost 6000 page bill had a lot of “other” elements that should have been excluded. JMHO.

That’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! OH I hope he does..........;)
YOU forgot the illegals in the USA who are getting $1800 each Adult PLUS $600 for each kid.
2 adults x $1800 = $3600
5 kids x $600== $3000
Total== $6600.
THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY !!!!!
They don’t have to explain. The reason is obvious!
These are undocumented immigrants living with documented immigrants...and they get $600...not $1800. $1800 is for two adults and 1 kid.
