mitch mcconnell on tv just now
senate passes emergency $2t relief bill 100-0
with some snarky reporters biting his ankles about pelosi's alleged lack of happiness
Oh yes she mentioned how they (senate, ie: republicans) didn’t treat DC the same as any other state instead treated them as a territory for funding amounts that she felt was discriminatory. Blah blah
Didn’t mention how they tried to cram in all kinds of goodies either.
96-0 was the vote I saw on Fox.
They didn’t the vote was 96-0
I called and left a comment on her comment line.
SHE LIED.... makes it look like SHE did the country a service.
All she added was a NON necessary HUGE $$$ addition to the Kennedy Center and held the bill up a WEEK.
What a joke!
I’m confused reading the section rebates for taxpayers regarding checks to taxpayers. Are they using 2018 or 2019 for income brackets?
I don’t think the states will give it to them, and they’re not going to get that help.
Do we know who the 4 no shows (?) were?
I guess I should be glad I won’t be around long enough to see this come due. Good thing I don’t have kids either.
Those were (I believe) the 4 republican senators, Rand Paul, Mitt Romney, Mike Lee, and John Thune.
The House did not vote today.

What’s surprising to me is that there’s been nothing that I’ve seen about this here.
That Im unsure of Maybe this will help.

the senate is actually allowing Pelosi and the House to see what is in the bill before they pass it...
seriously, here is one article on details of the final senate passage:
Exactly. With the Fed artificially sustaining all the big fat cats this will kill small business.
Lots of women in the dem party, all jealous of the beautiful women of the Trump family.
Pure TDS.
WTF? Did they get to Rand Paul? Of everyone there I would think a libertarian like him would refuse to sign this garbage. As I tell my wife, in politics the worst decisions comes from compromise.
So Thomas Massie if Kentucky us possibly going to hold out on the vote for the package. If members of Congress have to fly back to Washington there is exposure for each. The cost is unnecessary and, people are waiting for help. This is crazy.
