If you had any decency, and were forced to pick ONE of those wasteful, HORRIBLE bills, it would be the "$2000 stimulus/destroy the future economy" bill, not the "foreign aid/corruption/leftover crumbs for the people/destroy the future economy" bill.

What do the republic-nts do? shoot themselves in the foot, yet again. They are the stupidest bunch of corrupt pieces of crap to exist as a political party.

Then he could start cutting the pork out. But his objection is to us

Not sure that’s true.

Is the consent to add $2K to existing bill or is this a stand alone consent?

Don’t worry Mitch. After Ossoff and Warnock are elected, Chuck Schumer will pass it. This seems to be the goal you’re shooting for.

Just read the article.

Mitch objected to approving the 2K in isolation.

Mitch:

The Senate this week will “begin a process” to bring the issue, one of three that Trump “has linked together,” into focus, McConnell added.

McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader flush in special interest cash in his own right, filled to the gills with bills as in $$$$$$$$$$$.

Its a joke we already owe trillions to China.

Why not a few thousand in our pockets why pretend you are for fiscal responsibility Mitch?
