Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday shot down a Democratic bid to answer the president's call for increased direct coronavirus payments to Americans, but the measure's ultimate fate in the GOP-controlled chamber is unclear. Aired on 12/30/2020.

McConnell Blocks Vote On $2,000 Stimulus Payments | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Last time I was this early, we still had a democracy.
@michael huppertz No, last 4 years was spent watching uneducated and misguided people, prop up a Wana- be dictator, who’s only allegiance is to himself and Russia.
@Generalissimo Donald Trump and you are proof that abortion, In some cases are a great idea.
@Generalissimo Donald Trump here waiting and ready to sip on some yummy maga tears.
@Murad Pervez Looks like we saw the same C-movie, really lousy actors.
@Murad Pervez Maga tears sound familiar, TYT?
A bunch of sociopath making political games of people misery.
ITS TIME https://www.bitchute.com/video/GE5qz547lTFy/
@House Majority
I happen to live in the most stable democracy on this planet because we teach our pupils that being interested in politics is their duty. And there are no situations or circumstances in which talking about politics is inappropriate. We do it always and everywhere.
As everyone should.

Yes, Mark but who do you spot a “Psychopath”? I mean they normally over achievers, they either beautiful or handsome. They have all the right answers, but they no empathy for others. So how do spot the next Ted Bundy or Donald Trump? Simple “Psychopath” cannot say I’m sorry, they also cannot admit they made a mistake. So next time a person running for office force them to admit to a mistake, and ask if their were sorry. If they can’t even admit have made a mistake in their lives don’t vote for him or her.
They are causing your misery.🇨🇳😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Nothing new here.
All this is just another act.
This is just totally un-American BS.
We need to clean house.
ITS TIME.. just doing MY part…….. eMail these https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=contact TRAITOR’S !!!!!!!
We just had the election and we didn’t clean house except in the AZ and CO senate pick ups.
Our Country has a Crazy figurehead named tRump but the other tyrant is Moscow Turkey Neck Mitch. He’s King of the USA all GOP Senators do as he says not their constituents need.
@jamesmed4 OTay here is your hero https://www.bitchute.com/video/GE5qz547lTFy/
@jamesmed4 ‘Something is rotten in the state(s) of….. US’. No doubt about it. In the end a great part of it comes down to the misuse of an outdated constitution and election model which allows all kinds of anti-democratic measures by – to be clear – political criminals, who basically don’t care one cent for DEMOCRACY as the basis for who gets the power to govern the country. This is how one of the big parties has developed for many years now. And with a number of bad apples in the other party too one must admit. Will be a long and dangerous haul to get the US back on the track to democracy. Will take decades. And plain fascism is lurking on the sidewalk all the way. A dystopic vision? Not to me. But first step is to get rid of the Russian backed Trump. A long journey begins with one step, it has been said. So let’s hope this one STEP is taken in the beginning of the year 2021. 🎆
So utterly sick and f’ing sick of this sh*t!!!!
Just can’t stop watching !
FrictionRx9,, 6 hours after President Trump won, Hillary Clinton called and CONGRADULATED him winning the election.
@frictionRx9 I agree…Democrats supporters did alot of rioting and looting acting very uncivilized.
Poh yes

Repubs going back to the Fiscal Responsibility BS!

@Beyond Stylz 🤣🤣🤣😂👍🏽
@DJ Jones 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Clash Clan facts hahahhah a
@DJ Jones you can report me. I’m not a childish hypocrite who points fingers to not get in trouble after slandering and calling everyone here a name. U should be worried. Go ahead keep commenting. I see u baby boy
McConnell and Trump: two peas in a pod.
@Imaginary Person HAAAA
BULLYING???? LAST TIME I CHECKED TRUMP STILL HAS HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT. I GUESS IT’S ONLY OK WHEN THE REPUBLISCUMS SPEW 💩😜
Exactly 👍💯
@Imaginary Person What “bullying” ????
@W P You hurt his widdle fee fees 😢
McConnell knows how to stop all legislative progress while pretending to be rational. That pretense, however, has worn very, very thin.
We can see right through it.
And what is going to be done about it? Nothing.
Doh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
Stop saying, “Congress can’t get its act together.” Accurately report, Republicans block everything that helps the middle class.
@WildHeart I am??? How so? Please be specific.
For the next 8 years vote blue big and early in every race in every state. Purge out the GOP with your vote. Simple.
@Andrew Katla No, crackhead. I simply stated a fact: that the US is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic and has been since 1789.
Stay in school, kids! 👍🏻
@Anti Socialite what is a Democracy in your mind. I assume you never vote on anything. Since you don’t live in a Democracy.
As an aside Voting on who represents you in state legislature and in Congress as well as who is President via the electoral College. Is infact a mix of direct and indirect Democracy.
Oh oh and calling me a crackhead kinda reminds us of gradeschopl bully tactics
NAFTA WAS SIGNED BY BILL CLINTON

I can’t ever feel any kind of pity for mitch.
@David Combs You better be careful with your big mouth. Where I live in the South you’ll get shot for putting your hands on the wrong person…
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST I got enough balls to use my own name, but you got to hide behind a fake name. That’s a Wimp.
For the next 8 years vote blue big and early in every race in every state. Purge out the GOP with your vote. Simple.
@Remey Momma If these Democrats take over and do to America what they have done to our cities, there won’t be anything left to vote for…🇨🇳😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Hey the Democrats ain’t off the hook they voted for that $600 per American they’re just agreeing with that $2,000 a person cuz they want to win the popularity contest
Moscow Mitch: “I got mine, my rich friends (who own me) got theirs, soooo…” (double finger to America)
Like when the demopedos passed a china virus relief bill that sent half to foreign countries for gender studies?
@Daniel Busker Eric swalwell and Diane feisteins driver of 20 years?
@Jennifer McGoldrick Elaine chow, Mitch’s wife is a Chinese spy. I think xi Jing ping was at McConnels wedding or birthday.
The reason why the media and demopedo cult doesn’t mention this, is because mitch is one of them. “Controlled opposition”. Remember when fox news shifted to the left??? Nobody watches fake news
Foh yes

Republicans have lost most of, if not, all of their credibility after this.
@Engage360 I’ll click on your link but first you need to do me a favor.
ITS TIME just doing MY part…….. eMail these https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=contact TRAITOR’S !!!!!!!
@Rodney Reyes they’re pathetic
@Ben Lancaster my point remains the same. Mitch Mcconnell is playing with the American people. Period! No strings need to be attached (his strings relate to big corporate buy in). If it was his family on the line or his personal lively hood. He would pass the bill.
$2K is reasonable for the very people who keep this country running. Especially since we just dropped billions into fortune 500 and 100 companies with the PPP.
It amazes me how people are so unaware unless your an entrepreneur and/or small business the amount of wasted money that went to the rich with the PPP… But are acting like $2K is a big deal for the american people.
@Candace H but strings attached to the $600 bill are ok?
You must support Pakistan gender studies
But you think eliminating slander protection for social media is bad?
You think election fraud is ok and shouldn’t be investigated?
Russian bounty on US soldiers – says nothing
Russian hacking – says nothing
give back Americans $2000 – Mitch says “hold on, let’s pump the brakes”
320,000 Corona Virus Deaths.
The Rich shall be Richer and the Poor shall be Poorer. REPENT🙏

McConnell has too much power. He has litterly, blocked almost everything congress has sent to the senate to be voted on. This has been going on for 12 years.
Literally*
@Yasin Hassenbey I like his spelling better as it has the scent of garbage in it.
So what he has been doing that since President Clinton. If want you have to after his base.
No it’s been going on for 40 years he has gained tooooo much power
How he sleeps at night ,no conscient heart
@Maria Sciulli No Maria, what has happen is that since the 1970’s the after President Richard Nixon was deposed. The Republican party has slowly and surely destroyed the Democratic base with “Free Trade”. This transferred all manufacturing to China and killed all the unions that support Democratic party.
Knew McConnell would blow this up, he doesn’t care if we live or die.
@– If Democrats take over it will basically be Soviet Russia and we all know how that went over…💀💀💀💀💀💀
@Elmosweed You need to understand Elmo, their is no American Left anymore. The Republican have destroyed it when the shipped all the manufacturing jobs overseas with “Free Trade”. I’m show me a person that a “Socialist”?
@Marc Temura Elmo’s Hope is that Biden will keep the promise of bringing jobs back to America.
Tax the 💩 out of corporations that ship products into the Country.
Then give Tax incentives to corporations shipping products out.
@Elmosweed That will happen but not for the migration, war, and catastrophe. So by 2025 by first their is normally an existential crisis first, before people are willing to make an inner change.
@Elmosweed Here listen to this video on high taxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-invRz1ss&t=278s
He doesn’t care for Americans going hungry.he should be out in his seat.
@Generalissimo Donald Trump This isn’t a republic, or a democracy for that matter. It’s a corporate plutocracy. This is largely thanks to Republicans and some corporate Democrats. Let’s look at a true democracy, like Norway, for example. They have significantly lower poverty, infant mortality, and murder rates. They have a much happier workforce which is largely protected by unions, a much higher GDP per person, 8 weeks paid vacation per year, paid paternal leave, free health care, free higher education, financial security for seniors, and their average personal tax rate is only 1.52% higher than ours. You know, basic things that right-wing politicians and media have convinced America are the equivalent to Venezuela or communism. Republicans are not for the working class, they’re for the top 1%. If Nordic countries have taught us anything, it’s that a social democracy works… which is why we need to elect social Democrats, like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Warren, etc.
Foh yes

oh wow
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST wow, you sound like a bigot…
🙏💯👏
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST those welfare Queens they’re about thick as a bowl of oatmeal
It’s not “you, Congress, can’t get it together”; it’s you, Moscow Mitch, are single-handedly obstructing everything.
https://youtu.be/Oc5VnF1dhg0 1a 2
Mitch wants Loeffler and Perdue to win and thus retain (R) control of the Senate. If L & P vote against $2K checks, they might lose. Mitch’s taking heat for blocking a floor vote so that they can announce that they’re in favor of such without ever backing it up with “Yes” votes. If it came up for vote and it was close, they’d have to vote “No”.
Long as Moscow Mitch got his white envelope filled with Benjamins that’s all he cares about
He got his tax cut. That’s all he cares about.
Foh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
And he has his $4,000 PER WEEK that we pay him.
Show me evidence
McConnell has been doing this for year. Holding bills, and the blaming others for the bill not passing. Georgia Vote Blue
