Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has taken an uncharacteristic stance against President Donald Trump during his final weeks as commander-in-chief.

McConnell is leading the charge for the first successful veto override of Trump's presidency after the president vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act.

The Kentucky Republican is also doing eveything he can to derail a push for COVID-19 stimulus checks to be raised to $2000, which Trump has come out in support of in recent days.

McConnell is poised to win these battles but it could backfire and cost the GOP its majority in the Senate given the popularity of $2000 checks among voters, and the impending Georgia Senate runoff election.

demanding a refund.

So someone who spent 10X your bill should get $100,000?

Should Bezos get $1,000,000,000?

At the end of every year do we all decide how our "service" was and then load the grand kids up on $ 5 Trillion in added debt?

Why don't we hear the wailing about the national debt when our 'public servants' are sending billions of OUR dollars to third world hellhole dictators?

(suppository to 'help the poor').

Why is there ONLY concern when the money might go back to taxpayers?

If this is the first time you are hearing people complain about the debt, then you need to take your fingers out for your ears.

Please explain why I should care about what the national debt will be in an era when the majority of the population will be the descendants of those who sauntered across open borders from the Third World.

Whether you care about the country is up to you. I see no reason why my children and grand children should fund your payout party.

How many billions did Kerry and Obama give to Iran? How many hundreds of millions thrown away in the filthy sands of the Middle East?

How much crap to the UN and NATO and China?

The ONLY time I hear wailing is when Americans are getting the tax money. Send me a link to ANY story where the wailing and gnashing of teeth happened with cash given to a third world hellhole.

Mitch is more comfortable being on the side of cheaters, moochers and losers...and real Americans prefer being the winners.

Because in the end no matter who takes the office...everyone will know that DJT won in 2020.

“Mitch is more comfortable being on the side of cheaters, moochers and losers.”

Sounds like a traincar full of corrupt Southern good-ole-boys. That’s Bill Clinton over in the corner dealing cards.

That was what happened to South Africa. By the time ‘universal voting’ was implemented, 81% of those voting were formerly illegal aliens.
