Merkley: I Find Myself Agreeing With Josh Hawley & Bernie Sanders On Direct Covid Relief | MTP Daily
A vote for a republican is a vote against America.
And it still is in direct contradiction to reality, so you accomplished nothing, just like all conservatives.
@Jussainwuturthinkn Yes nothing like your buddy Mitch
And unfortunately, a large segment of America is against America.
@Progressive Humanist reality??? Pull your head out and look around you. It’s gonna get real, real soon.
Just think the longer the delay on stimulus checks is in favor of the Republicans saving money for the rich people. A package was approved in the house in the Spring. Approximately 200,000 people who would have gotten checks have died. I’m just doing rough math.
You cant provide COVID relief that doesnt include any actual relief for the people. Everyone is hurting. Everyone needs that stimulus.
@Mike Borsum Believe me, No one can leave an orange puddle on your rug better than I can.
Technically, this isnt a Stimulus Bill. The goal is not to stimulate the economy during a very bad low tide. This is a Covid Relief Bill. Designed to provide financial relief to those most affected. However a particular poitical party seems to think that the ones who most need it are big businesses and for-profit colleges. Thats the excuse they’re using.
The only good thing this will do is provide an extension to unemployment and Pandemic Underemployment Assistance.
@The Tweatles I bet you think Trump still has a chance. You’re such a Patriot.
@Mike Borsum that was Trump’s special Russian lady friend
😬
Biggest obstacle is Mitch for ANY type of financial relief to millions of suffering Americans!!
Truth.
I’d say McLawmakers shouldn’t get McPaid if people are ignored
LOL. GOODLUCK!!! The better statement is idiots in your country shouldn’t vote these lunatics in
I’m not sure lawmakers should be paid at all.
President Trump will remain in the White House

Repubs can only give out welfare to the rich and powerful.
When We the People need it, then they are suddenly budget hawks/fiscal conservatives.
This is morally vile and unAmerican.
They certainly didn’t mind the debt when it came to their tax cuts
Hawley a Republican, you know
But u right
You’re a lot righter than you probably think. Check out the origin of conservatism:

What is going to be done with all the money that the wealthy got and didn’t need, like Trump, Kushner and McConnell?
You mean the crooks found at the head of the Republican party.
Legal bills.
Yes, the $3 Million Dollars from the first PPP that went to TRAITOR Trump and Jared Kushner?? Why did the US President and his Family receive money from the PPP??
And Tom Brady. There’s a guy who needs a little financial help.
I believe the Biden Administration should SANCTION Trump and his company. They don’t care about taxes, they shouldn’t care about sanctions
Huh?
For what crime???
Republican senators really have fun with the lives of Americans. They are bad!
Take away the power they have in the Senate, Georgia can and must do it on January 5
Fingers Crossed and prayers said that the Blue Wave continues in Georgia, so that Ossoff and Warnock are elected into the Senate in January 2021!!!
And completely unacceptable for Trump to expose people to Covid. The Legal Term is Negligent Homicide.
500,000 dead by Eviction Day, all because Diaper Donnie refuses to do any of the work that being president requires.
No plan!? How about it was approved by the Congress in May! Then Mnuchin and McConnell got their greasy hands on it and here we are! $1200. Or No.
It passed in the House only, not all of Congress. McConnell refused to even let the Senate consider it, as he did several compromise bills.
Reminder: Over $500 billion in corona relief was given to corporations and Mnuchin still refuses to disclose who got that money.
Now, I wonder why that is? 🤔😅😂
I remember.
Why did Pelosi leave that in the bill? She needs to be removed from her speakership position.
Graft? Avarice? Nepotism?
@T.A. ACKERMAN Yeah right, blame her….She didn’t take any like trump and mitch did. She tried to put a man in to oversee the distribution of of the ppp money, BUT TRUMP FIRED HIM AND DID IT HIMSELF!!
Why would Mitch McConnell fight so hard to not include a direct check to the American people
After he lives his whole life off our tax dollars
Because he only serves himself and his rich friends.
Actually not quite accurate. He lives his whole life off of his wife’s, our current secretary of transportation Elaine Chang, money. Her family is loaded.
@surferdude44444 WHO PAYS HIM?
because he is concentrated evil.
When I received my first and only S check, it came out to $3 a day since then,Mitch is the problem.
Unbelievable, how many months ago I heard this same “Agreeing With” load of excrement…….
If the elected politician would serve the people’s interest just once, they’ve forgotten their oath…….
Quick questions .. if the election was so “rigged” why did the Dems leave Mitch in power? Did they plan everything else out perfectly but just skip the part where they removed him? ….. 🤔
I’ve asked that question in every forum…no response .imagine that..Lindsey Graham as well…
Do you expect logic and reason from the MAGA crowd? All those split tickets are not only proof that Trump truly lost, but that many of the people who voted for Biden, also did not want Democrats to control Congress, they just wanted Trump gone.
*If you could reason with Trump supporters They wouldn’t be Trump supporters*
Oh jeez…. _that’s_ what I’ve been doing wrong. Consider me face palmed.
Classic Republican playbook prioritizing money markets over people.
I agree with them. Why is GOP trying to keep Americans from holding employers accountable.
Give Americans the paychecks from Congress until the virus is over
EXACTLY!!!
If TAX payers are not going to get RELIEF then WHO DOES? STOP it all together then. There shouldn’t be any RELIEF to any CORPORATE or COMPANY. Period!
