Fate Of $2,000 Stimulus Checks Now Rests With Senate | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Highly doubt McConnell will let this happen
@George W Biden
Gramps you humoring yourself again?
Your naptime is way overdue. 😎
@Jeremy Backup Tell that to Kentuckians!!!
@B. T. look….I realize you’ve been butthurt ever since I smacked you down 20 posts ago, but you really need to stop obsessing over me. I don’t want to be your boyfriend, OK??
It’s not really up to him. Every single senator has to vote yes for this to happen. It won’t happen. Don’t waste your time.
If Mitch McConnell don’t let it happen he will live with the consequences. Bless his soul.
Dead on arrival with the enemy of progress Mitch McConnell
@Shelley Ross pretty sure he was being sarcastic..
Yep. They already blocked it once.
Beijing Biden to the rescue ⛩
@Education is key warning idiots not allow to comment here
@Shelley Ross LOL, funny trump did with the first Stimulus check. The check come with his signature because he made it that way to get credit for it. Even if you got your check via bank transfer he still sent a letter to take credit for it.
This whole system is BS. House passed the Bill then send it to Senate where SOB Mitch throw in the Garbage. So whoever control the Senate control the country.
You are correct. Moscow Mitch strikes again.
Our founders designed our system of checks and balances because they believed it’s better to stop government from passing bad laws than to have a new law at all. I agree with them. If Americans were hungry enough they would stand up to their government, demand an end to the shutdowns and get back to work.🇺🇸
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST You have warp sense of history because Alexander Hamilton the first Treasury Secretary of the United States, created the first 11 point plan for manufacturing to build wealth in America, and we were betrayed by Ronald Reagan and the Republicans broke that plan and created “Free Trade” to destroy the democrats’.
@Marc Temura I “have warp sense of history”?…😂😂😂
I can see from the stupidity in these comment sections that America is doomed with you idiots in charge…🇺🇸💀
Hey Trump supporters: your own party is the reason why you won’t see any of your own money. Stop voting Republican.
@Johnny Irenchi Small man complex.
@raptured snail you only see what I’m showing you
@Johnny Irenchi here in America we’re better than you and we know it
@nightrale814 I don’t go to parties. Waste of time and energy
@Blax Poitation oh look, another leftist who is clueless
If Moscow Mitch decides that this bill isn’t worth while, the people of Georgia will know that David Perdue and Kelly Loefller isn’t worth while either.
Beijing Biden to the rescue ⛩
@Kelvin Blackstone didn’t he abuse his wife…I guess we don’t believe all women?
@Tonny Stalk Exactly!!!!
Considering that they had inside information about covid early on, and not only did they not warn their state about it, they sold off stock knowing that said stock was about to become worthless.
They probably couldn’t gotten away with it if they told their people about covid but still sold their stock. They would’ve at least helped, but they couldn’t even do that.
We just passed $740-Billion dollars for military spending but these Republicuntz won’t pass an additional $2K- thousand dollars stimulus checks because of national defecit? Really? After this past year they have cost us just this year $13-15Trillion dollars to our GDP from lack of handling Covid19! Trickle down Economics….hilarious!
The 134 who voted against the bill should be taken out of office.
@J M M I’ve occupied your weak head now. I love it
@B. T. I love how obsessed you are with me little foreigner.
@Kelvin Blackstone 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@dalkijhs ljaksdj then Pelosi has the gall to come back after the election and propose a bill that’s half of what Trump offered. And the reason given? “Oh the Senate won’t pass it anyway” as if it’s the GOP and ONLY the GOP taking a dump on Americans’ heads.
“A pox upon both their houses” William Shakespear
Yup many republicans against the bill. What a surprise.
I’m sure Republicans are thinking, “Wait! we cannot give money to working people without also rewarding the rich and corporations with 10 times the amount.”
@Richard Desch why is the end did the members of the house to go along with it? It should’ve been set aside for another bill. It should not of been included in the stimulus bill. Companies people might have wanted these foreign countries to have aid but we didn’t have to go along with it.
Then there is a question about the two new museums connected with the Smithsonian. One concern women’s issues one concern Latinos. Clearly that did not come from the Trumpster.
@T. R. Campbell I agree but the stimulus bill would never have been voted on unless attached to this 9 month CR bill. People are just getting “woke” because the stimulus happens to be attached to this temp budget. It happens in every CR and budget. Plenty of blame to go around
@Lisa Clark Good luck with that. Maybe you’ll take home a souvenir, some Covid-19!
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST That argument is entitely based off an assumption…stfu. We are in a pandemic you moron
@Lisa Clark Keep crying those conservative tears. There is *NOTHING* you can do. Be it now, January 6th or January 20th 🤡
Dear Georgians🙏Vote Blue and take back the Senate and don’t let the Republicans hold us Hostage on our stimulus🙏
@Robocock22 wow. First of all it is our money to begin with. Second of all some people CAN’T work or unable to find work. But you do you booboo. Let me guess, we are all sheep and you are anti antifa and believe antifa to be an actual group. Hmmm… Good day!!
@Robocock22 YOU LOST the election, there’s nothing you can do about it.
It isn’t stimulus it’s survival
@Cory Challice
They’re thinking of what they would do with the money. They’d bank it. Invest it.
All the stimulus funds will get spent almost immediately and will trickle back up quickly. It will simply allow the masses (us) to muddle through until we can get back to feeding the machine. This pandemic has drained the remaining savings from many and put it into Bezos’ and the Waltons’ pockets.
Why? So the rest of GA can be as bankrupt, blighted and crime-ridden as Atlanta??? No thanks!
Is it just me, or does Moscow Mitch always look like he just crapped his pants?
funny!!!….lol
He can’t crap his pants if he has his depends on
@Vox Lux sorry to burst your bubble! With Depend, you can still crap in your pants
He probably has, he’s more than old enough to have such problems.
Far too many politicians are that old.
He crapped in America’s pants.
Good luck everybody, here’s to hoping.
Imagine living in Canada where they’re getting relief money like this every month. But the world’s “greatest country” unable to help its own. One side of the US has actually made it worse by denying the virus’ existence then making mask wearing a political thing. Now there’s half a million dead that didn’t need to be. And there’s still idiots out there that won’t mask up because “muh freedum” and “liberals wear masks hurrr”. Hopefully younger generations will have learned from all this that there is a way forward and it’s by not adopting idiotic beliefs in conspiracies and the rhetoric of a narcissistic sociopath.
@Felix Blacksher Yeah I’m sneaking up there one of these days soon.
@John Wilharm That’s a good point. Wishes are cleaner 🙋♀️❤
@Silent Wisdom In deed it is. Nut shells remind me of squirrels and that makes me happy 🥜🐿🙋♀️❤
Foh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
Simple solution here; gag and maybe tie up Moscow Mitch so he can’t object.
i agree, amazing how both sides have these china and russia ties. trump said the swamp was deep and wide, i guess we are seeing now how vast the swamp really is.
AND the Kentucky people who voted for him!
Nope, the terrorist militia tried that with the governor of Minnesota, they proved that it’s illegal and ill advised.
Georgia is your time stand up!!!!
I did my part, now it’s up to the rest if they want to see better things happen for us.
Excuse me, where is peach pie? Thank you
You mean peach cobbler!!!
👻
Foh yes

oh wow
$2k would be starting 2021 off right. The US economy is 70% consumer spending that’s literally it.
People spending is the economy only way to make jobs your portfolio is a crap shoot
Yes. We are a consumerist society. That is what holds our economy (now that most manufacturing jobs are overseas)
@Malcolm George Our economy isn’t reliant on a bunch of Democrats buying malt liquor and fried chicken with their welfare checks…
@Malcolm George I spent $100,000 on a market cap fund last march and it has made $38,000 thus far. I probably created dozens of jobs with that investment. How much did you spend this year and how much return did you get on your expenditures and how many jobs did you create?
@Dawn Green If we just voted out politicians like Joe Biden who take bribes to send American manufacturing overseas, the American middle class would be as big as it was before they did it to us.🤨🇺🇸
So we fund the government with our tax dollars and when we need help the government says figure it out yourself.
@Kenny Hill I’m not sure what you are getting at. I agree taxpayers pay taxes. But those taxes go toward paying off the debts the US govt has rendered from the federal reserve. And every year we borrow more funding thus the tax payers have to pay back more money or run a deficit.
They got theirs and don’t care about the people who keep voting them back into office illogical people
We the people fund this government thru tax dollars going into the treasury when I pay taxes my check goes to us treasury guess you don’t pay taxes Daquan
@Malcolm George lol…ok buddy
Welcome to America . I say we Dump Trump, Ditch MItch, and Meadow , and all the RepubliCUNTs in the WH
“He’s not saying what he will do” Well, that’s an accomplished act for someone who loves to blow hot air and listen to himself talk!
Foh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
Georgia Vote Blue and you’ll have 2000$ check guaranteed no questions asked.
@bLoWc16 lol no honey, China is going to be visiting here.
vote blue!!!
@bLoWc16 why over 22 trillions in debt??? Pay your bills, USA #1
@ilalla uSA is run by idiot’s
@#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST might as well get rid of money, its pointless
Spend your $600 on a trip to your favorite congressmans house.
The House already passed it, so no trips to Reps, just Senators.
They are living “la vida loca” we’re just trying to live for the next day.
https://www.zazzle.com/store/yours2keep/products
They don’t really care about us!!
Don’t hold your breath: McConnell is not going to allow $2,000 checks to go out to poor people. It’s not happening.
Not unless he is attacked from Waluigi!
We should protest. A national protest. They’re not in need and play with our lives as they please.
the power is in the hands of the people. this is something both liberals and conservatives can come together for.
A general strike would be nice. Too bad Republicans have done everything in their power to destroy Unions in this country.
Ive been saying that too!!!!!!!
I hear BLMANTIFA is free these days. Maybe they can destroy more minority businesses?
@Education is key Yelp just evil
