Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell introduces competing bill for $2K stimulus checks. It would also repeal Section 230 and set up commission to study voter fraud.
Its a tactic to shift the focus off McConnell. Something like this was predictable.
Total BS. McConnell knows damn well that the House won’t go along with this.
No.
Trump is right and you are wrong.
These issues need to be addressed now, and in this context.
It’s how politics works- you gotta have leverage.
Don’t know that it’ll work...
The media will certainly claim that the Dems are righteous to deny the extra money to Americans so the Party can protect their tech donors and their crooked elections!
Your comments were my first take when reading about the bill.
Yes, this is exactly what Trump asked for, and maybe it is a good sign, but we are so used to being screwed it is pretty much expected.
Or, this could be a sign Mitch is doing an about face and will aid in the election challenge.
In the face of overwhelming odds, I still have faith and hope Trump will pull this off.
“setting up a commission to study vote fraud”, how cute.
Of course, the GOP refuses to represent those that make over $99k. They get nothing. Why vote GOP?

Indeed. Is it time for the GOP to go the way of the Whigs? It may be time for a new party, and I speak as a GOP committee member and former chairman.
This bill goes nowhere because it has little or no Democrat support. The $2,000 part did have support. McConnell knows this.
He is just throwing red meat scraps to the base because he knows this won’t go anywhere
This way he can see look, I did something
Of course, the GOP refuses to represent those that make over $99k. They get nothing. Why vote GOP?
If you are reporting income over 100K, you are screwing yourself.
McConnell has the most tin ear of any politician I’ve seen.
Just pass the friggin’ bill.
What a moron.
It will pass the senate but not the House. Pelosi will not allow a vote and wait on the outcome of the GA elections. If the GOP holds the senate it will more than likely be a case of the commission is agreed to but 230 chopped out. If the Democrats win the senate the Democrats will simply wait out the entire process until inauguration assuming Biteme wins.
Not true. You simply get less.
Mitch trying to re-paint himself as a republican.
Problem is all he’s got left to paint with is doo-doo.
“If you make over 99k, you don’t work. That money is to help “working” people.”
Holy crap. Please tell me that was sarcasm.
Just for one small example of millions, do you know how much a good welder can make in a year? Do you think industrial welding outside, in all weather is not work?
Not to mention the countless sole proprietorship small businesses who put in many hours, and provide employment for others.
Get a clue.
> voted on separately thus exposing each member who
> supported each section
This is great news!
This !
Kabuki to distract the simple.
McConnell wants to kill all of: repeal 230, election investigation, and $2K per person.
So he put them all in one bill, knowing that there are supermajorities to kill such a bill.
G
I still hate McConnel. His actions are too damn late. Literally.
So you are a Democrat?
