    1. I don’t think Americans should get tje $600.
      Back in my day we didn’t have stimulus or food stamps

    1. @Ben Lancaster republican senators don’t agree to anything unless there’s something in it for them. Democrats want the increase in the bill and republicans always have strings attached. Nothing new. Those strings have consequences that are never for the good of Americans.

    2. @Kamalla Hairass I guess you haven’t noticed or you just don’t care, some people don’t have a job right now through no fault of their own. Some people who do work and pay taxes all their lives need help right now. What a selfish piece of crap you are!

    3. Is mc C doing this purposely along with the dems to help the dems to destroy reps in Georgia , as what he is doing seems so dangerous for his own party, forget trump , but for republicans in the coming years . 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 he is reps friend or foe !!!

    1. I’ve never relied on others putting money in my hands. That’s why I started my own business and I pay myself whatever I want. But I had a father growing up so…

    2. Everyday another lie from Trump when it comes to his administration helping Americans via this Covid19 crises. Sickening.

    3. @Remey Momma The Democrats lied to America so much about Russia “stealing” the 2016 election that HALF of Americans no longer believe anything they say…🇨🇳😷😷😷😷😷

    4. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr regardless of what they spend it on, they spend it and inject it into the economy, and that is the REAL goal of the stimulus checks…the help the people, but to help the economy. With so many out of jobs right now the economy is suffering and could collapse, mitch is obviously NOT thinking of the US at all. One not thinking of the people it helps, but the economy it helps either. Then again republicans think trickle down works, and it never has…the only method that works is gather up…give the money to the lower income and let the companies produce goods an services they need and they will gather it up because the lower income will spend it like there is no tomorrow. They just need something to spend it on. Give it to the rich and they hoard it.

    1. @George W Biden The only boogeymen the Dems have are the imaginary ones Trump and his twits are brainwashing their worshipers into believing they have.

    1. Further steps will be required. 40 years is a long time. It’s up to us to change it. Wake up call to all good Americans. Find yourself and move for what you believe in.

    2. @George W Biden dont u ever get tired of being wrong, trumps a faliure who u probably voted for. McConnell is trash who u probably voted for, your credibility is 0 so who are you again but someone probably on welfare and foodstamps

    3. @George W Biden they have you convinced that giving us some of OUR tax dollars back to help us is bad but giving it to billionaires is good??

    1. @mike mann songs Good call…however the downside are the issue of past intel that could be used against us.
      And the Congressional GOP has shown nothing but sedition and treason.
      People seem to be forgetting all of the pics from Moscow showing Jared, Jill Stein and Kremlin Kevin…it seemed to be the start of the Mueller investigation.
      And that clearly shows the culpable of our Nation.

    2. The Don needs to re-educate Mitch and let him know who’s in charge. Where are those proud boi’s now? You see. Mitch has the real power here. It’s pathetic.

    1. It doesn’t have to effect the people. McConnell has offered the American people 2000 dollars a piece if the democrats will let him investigate the election. So let him.

  1. Wealthy corporations need help.
    No problem.
    Struggling Americans need help.
    Are you kidding? Where we gonna get the money.

    1. @#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The REPUBLICANS and Trump are America’s worst enemy . I think you went to Trump’s University- Trump’s warped politics has infected too many Americans. An educated person will know that it’s idiotic to blame rioting on democrats . There is nothing vaccinating about America’s tainted and blood filled history . Any fool can read and understand it ..

    2. @Oxford Hall Actually. Communist China is America’s worst enemy. Their virus killed 300,000 Americans this year and the Democrats used it to commit mail in election Fraud.🇨🇳🦠💀💀💀💀

    3. @#NOTMYPRESIDENT #RESIST Trump killed thousands of Americans by being a Covidiot – downplaying the virus and having super spreader rallies .. Beside, he kissed China’s behind and asked them to help him win the election. When they didn’t he turned on them . What a traitor !!

    4. @Oxford Hall China killed 300,000 Americans with their virus. Joe Biden used it to shut down our economy and create a mail in election.

  2. Mitch McConnell is the reason why Georgia needs to truly come through by voting Osoff and Warnock into the senate.

    1. Jared Polis, a Democrat, literally advocated for and presented legislation as a former Representative, single issue legislation.
