That is what I found also on page 830.
Thank Heaven.
I don’t care how hard it was for them to drag this POS bill across the finish line, Trump needs veto it in Pelosi’s face.
And when Congress overrides his veto, then what?
So, they caved and voted for it anyway.
Fox and Breitbart are reporting that most if the pelosi bullshit was removed like ballot harvesting, early voting, etc
$350M for refugees is absurd
I just checked the House bill and that election stuff is on page 830 there, not on page 830 of the Senate bill that passed.
If you’re hungry enough you’ll eat the s#it sandwich, and American small business needs the help NOW. It was the right thing to do, and the crap that got put in the bill? Make that front and center for re-election and hold their damn feet to the fire.
This is not the bill you are reading she did NOT get vote harvesting!!!
President Trump will sign it with a smile on his face.
He may hate this bill in his heart, but he has to sign it for political reasons.
I would hate to be in his shoes right now.
IF this is THE bill - this site allows search.
I tried several different election terms and got zip on anything vote related.

And Thune.
Shorts have all covered their position over the last two days, time to start shorting again. SEC & govt are doing nothing. Saw an article the other day on shorting volume over the last month, It’s up over 40 billion dollars. They stand by as the speculators and hedge managers are savaging the savings of average Americans, most of whom have no idea of the theft happening behind the scene on Wall Street.. 40 + billion people in additional short positions.
Try selling your neighbors car tomorrow, getting all the cash and then paying him back later when it’s worth less. See how long you stay out of jail.
Oh if you don’t know what shorting is,, you sell stock you don’t own, it’s borrowed from the brokers registry and they put the money in your account. At some point later, when the price is lower you buy the stock and net the difference.
That is vote harvesting it is not in the bill that passed, this was Pelosi’s bill some people are reading!!
Blame the people who vote for these swine Congressmen for the state we’re in.
I owe this entire board an apology AGAIN!!
I thought i knew how to download a PDF.
Apparently i don’t and I was wrong AGAIN!!
I am going to turn off my computer and take a nap.
I freaked out last night was called on it by many people who were thinking more clearly than me, I was imagining terrible things.
And then I did it again tonight, like an idiot. To anybody and everybody I was rude to, I apologize. I have been on this board since 1999 and this was the worst thing i have seen. Thank god its not true.
> Bill passes, Dow/S&P/NASDAQ future drop.
OK (how much? link?).
IIRC the bill only covers about 50% of the employer cost of retaining employees, depending how one calculates the cost of retaining employees, during the crisis.
The problem may therefore be that the bill does not actually give enough relief to employers. In many cases, actual business is down more than 50%, and it is beyond the control of business owners when it will return. Employers are going to shed employees regardless of the bill, and some employees are going to take the mercenary tack and go for the effective short term pay raise. To address this problem, a fourth bill might be anticipated, containing yet more spending (and possibly the prospect of more Pelosi pork provisions).
In one of the headlines, Cuomo is whining that the bill in its current form (?) does not contain nearly enough provisions for New York.
I think this is one reason why Trump is trying to control the narrative by talking up the possibility of getting the country back to work by Easter. Otherwise, it’s a mess, and will likely get worse. And of course the Democrat angle of attack is anything that hurts Trump’s reelection chances is good for Democrats (and therefore good for the nation in the longer term, in their view).
Yes. Make them regret having ever started this.
No hard feelings. Believe me, we’re all glad you’re wrong. ;) LOL.
