Jason: No One Gets Any Benefit When You End Up With Nothing On COVID Relief | Andrea Mitchell
The GOP will block any relief to destroy the economy so they can blame Biden for the depression they will cause.
Trump is really jeopardizing the stability of the country while he plays golf with his friends.
@Widja Didja LOSER
Widja Didja – Such as..?
💯👏🏼Misinformation Mitch has controlled the Senate for 12 years and look how that’s worked out for millions of people. Gridlock. 350 bills including the Heroes Act, the Bipartisan for the people act to protect our elections and lower prescription prices are still dying in the Republican Senate graveyard. We need to be able to get relief to Americans during a National health and economic emergency.
Senate Republicans will have to respond
brilliantly said, ty mr furman and ms mitchell. it needs a multipronged approach.
Where is our stimulus keep pressing these dems and rep we are looking at no homes no holidays no food do they really care.
The Republicans only care about the top 0.01%.
The Billionaire class isn’t hurting.
‘Billionaires’ wealth rises to $10.2 trillion amid Covid crisis’

Dems passed a stimulus package in May, 6 months ago, and still Moscow Mitch refuses to vote on it. He keeps claiming that there will be no bailout for individual taxpayers, he only wants more bailouts for the rich. Btw, Jeff Bezos doubled his worth this year alone. Maybe we should actually tax the rich appropriately and stop letting them pay next to nothing…
This only happens when a toddler has been placed in a place of authority.
With respect, you have no idea how considering him a ‘toddler’ so massively undervalues the true and dangerous nature of malignant narcissism. He is his entire world, absolutely nothing else matters. Placing him in charge of a toaster would have been a grievous error.
@P H I get what you’re saying, but Trump supporters are simple people who don’t like big words. Plus it makes a decent alliteration to call them Trump Tantrums when he is losing it on twitter over previously debunked conspiracies. I do agree he is too dangerous to be in control of a toaster, but we need to stop using big words with them they don’t understand because it’s pointless if they can’t understand you…
Trump, the republicans and their victim supporters will do what they do best, cry, whine and blame everyone else for their failures..
I see the left is still just projecting and hoping no one notices…
@Widja Didja seeing as how Trump ran on a campaign in 2016 of the underdog and continues to claim the world is against him, and with your fellow cultists claiming the world is rigged against them? Sorry snowflake, but you would be the crybabies claiming you’re the victim…😂😂😂
So why exactly do you support the Reliable Republican Recessions that every single Republican President has had in the past century? And you claim it’s because the Dems made you choose poor economic policy right kiddo?😚
@A J aren’t you guys the ones that said to shut the economy down for half the year over the flu?
@Widja Didja what influenza virus are you talking about? Oh, you mean Covid a *Coronavirus* huh? Jeez, you cry a lot about your lack of education…😂😂😂
Un Patriotic Impeached Trump
I second your emotion!
American Disgrace An American Story Please Read (CITIZEN’S LOOK) by DANIEL GLOSKY WWW. Amazon, E-BOOK PLEASE READ, THANK YOU
The psychopath who currently occupies the White House wants to cause more damage to the United States, which is why he refuses to start the transfer of power!
Biden = 306 !
Trump = 232
@Widja Didja someone should have told that to Donald J Trump on January 11th 2017 when he talked from behind a podium that said on it “Office of the President Elect”. Sorry but Terrance Williams misprogrammed you sheep…
@Widja Didja Denial is not just a river in Egypt
@A J That was after he was officially elected by the electoral College. So yeah keep crying dude.
@Widja Didja there is some thing that i call stupid fanatic
@Widja Didja “there is no such thing as the office of the President Elect”, yet you just agreed it does exist. Weird how you have to change your story when you’re called out for lying. “So ya keep crying”about your delusions snowflake…😚
It is beyond unfathomable that these people play games with other people’s lives..the Republicans should be ashamed to not meet the needs of the people because they are whining about their loss.
Trump has got to be the most childish, immature president in American history
@Doonan Simpson Im uneducated?? LMAO. He IS NOT president elect, I know exactly how it works, your the one that seems a bit misinformed , He is not entitled to any information until he is. Look it up. and if you think hes president elect cause CNN says so well sorry to say your wrong
And most corrupt bag of dung
@william kracht Dude you’re gonna look like a complete asshat the day all of Trump’s law suits are turned down. In fact it’s already happening
And he’s being fully enabled by Republicans. Misinformation Mitch has controlled the Senate for 12 years and look how that’s worked out for millions of people. Gridlock. 350 bills including the Heroes Act, the Bipartisan for the people act to protect our elections and lower prescription prices are still dying in the Republican Senate graveyard. We need to be able to get relief to Americans during a National health and economic emergency.
@william kracht ha ha ha your child lost, BIG TIME! But hurtin willy boy! Don’t bend over again.
I believe that the only ones that would benefit from Mich McConnell plan would of been Wall Street and large companies
Nothing or almost nothing for small business
And zero help for the individual
This administration is the biggest government spending adding trillions to the deficit. 2018 and 2019 saw US Banks register record profits.
Trump and republican are the most biggest mafia cover up in the world.The people are suffering and dying and they don’t even care. It horrible to see what they do. I surely wait until January 21 to see the change that Biden will do for the good of the people.
Look I get what he’s saying, but Trump and McConnell refuses to do anything for 6 months now with the virus that’s surging. You can say blaming them doesn’t help, but looking at Trump when he blamed others his supporters followed him closer. This guy needs to come back to the real world and get out of the classroom, because if people knew about the fact every single Republican President crashed the economy in the past 90 years then they wouldn’t call GOP economics successful. If we would have kept reminding them that the 2007 financial collapse was Bush’s fault then we wouldn’t have so many Trump supporters who claim Obama caused it 2 years before he took the White House. I’m open to having conversations with Trump supporters who use actual facts, but what this guy is proposing is letting more right wing propaganda fill more people’s heads while once again the Dems fix the GOP failures…
We do need help now, the republicans have dejected
JPowell the federal reserve chairman recommendations
Of lots of stimulus to help individuals, get through this pandemic, he’s the only person who’s worried about women and families!
Nothing will happen as long as President “Orange Baby” is throwing a tantrum. Will Pence change the baby’s diaper already.
And give him his binky and blankie
Biden needs to avoid that gesture or the right will use it to smear him as a Nazi supporter. Lies just need a little help to work.
Fox News can feed itself by jamming these Twitter fights on air though…
Trump thinks he’s a king, Pelosi’s bill is Antabuse to a dictator. This is why we haven’t gotten the stimulus. If trump can’t use it to his advantage he’ll have non of it.

It is squarely Pelosi’s fault for the relief packages being held up.
And the Republicans have no fault in this mess? They all need to share the blame as they all are responsible for screwing with people’s livelihoods and lives with their inaction.
Trump said he wants a bigger stimulus package than the Heroes Act passed by the House in May. So which Trump to believe ‘I alone can fix this’ or ‘I am not responsible’ 🤔
When Republicans want all the benefits to go to the richest people, it doesn’t help the poor people to get a package passed.
Independent for Republican States, supreme court could decide.
