If you make over 99k, you don’t work. That money is to help “working” people.

I believe you are right. This is a ploy.

It’s a stand alone bill. It will pass.

But what are the chances of it passing in the House? Probably nil.

I agree, just a show and a bad one at that. It needs to be a straight up bill for the stimulus and nothing else.

Ok, now we’re getting somewhere.

***************

I don’t think so. It contains what the Dems will view as poison pills, and McConnell knows it.

Some of you have no patience or insight.

And you have no situational awareness. It will never get through the house and mcconnell knows it. It's for show, nothing else.

“... no way to vote on and reconcile this bill with what the house passed before the end of this senate, and the POS mcconnell knows it. This is just more of the same dog and pony show they have been showing us for over 4 years.”

Well, “time” isn’t the issue- it could be done.

The test will be if it can pass a cloture vote. If not then it’s just dishonest theatrics.

The air conditioning provisions are enough to vote no on the bill.

A commission to study voter fraud? I thought there already was a Federal Elections Committee. What have those bums been doing about voter fraud in the past 10 years? Nothing!!!!

It needs to be about the $2,000 for each American citizen only.

The other matters need to be addressed separately.

Oh they’re busy telling us how all of the Republican Senators are traitors. Since they can’t make up their minds if “Trump isn’t smart,” or “McConnell man bad,” it’s now just All Republicans are RINOS.

Good move...destined for failure but the points have been made.Let Rat Party demand that there’d be no investigation of a stolen election.

Watch your profanity and insults and speak to me like a person.

Do the people who always assume the worst case scenario about everything realize their negativity plays a part in what ends up coming to pass?

This is basic stuff. It’s why Trump says to never say anything is impossible and not to refer to yourself as average, etc.

Repeal 230? Never happen. This is a messaging bill that will never pass.

McConnel bundled the other matters with the $2,000 for every American citizen in the hope that the other matters would kill the legislation and thus prevent the $2,000 for every American citizen from happening.

Appropriations bills have to originate in the House. Pelosi won’t even read it.
