    1. That was stuffed with planned parenthood funding for abortions Dems don’t care about this just an opportunity to steal money

    2. @Trueminati You got it wrong stupid Trump and his republican crook’s have the graft deal just for them butthole 🇺🇸🇵🇷

    3. Your simple mind just can’t wrap around the fact that these Democratic bills throw all kinds of pork into their legislation I know it’s hard for simple-minded folks like you

    4. He block a bill that helps Russia, North Korea and the Democrat Congress.It also make Obama and Hillary look like liars

    1. @caycug1
      Are you dumb or playing dumb? James Alex Fields Jr. is no liberal. He deliberately drove a car through the crowd & ended up killing an innocent woman & injured dozens of others. He & a bunch of mass shooters inspired by Trump definitely have no brains so they have to resort to violence. I agree with you about that part. They’re definitely braindead like the rest of Trump supporters.

    2. @Barry SuttonYeah they probably will, but if Trump loses, Trump turds gonna drown in their own tears.

    1. Heather Brown Sounds like somebody i know…no no i must be hallucinating, who would ever think about the guy who blamed the je- wait a minute…

    2. Good evening
      Fellow Healthcare workers and Military both Republican and democrat. .Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
      While everyone else are sitting back in the comfort of their homes hiding from Cornavirus, preparing for Armageddon, complaining, pointing fingers and giving their opinions, we are still in the trenches protecting and serving. Not all federal government employees can work from home. So think about that the next time you need to express negativity, hatred, strife, ignorance, heartless, selfish, immature, vague comments and behavior just remember that their are those of us who are risking our lives everyday for your ungrateful opinions.
      Federal government employees who are NOT working from home, ALL Healthcare workers, law enforcement, EMS, Firemen, Military and others…Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

    3. @Compete ToDefeat Trump was not taking steps, otherwise he would have screamed it at FOX news blaming democrats.

    4. @TheNoobzoid That’s funny because there is video evidence of him being called a xenophobe and alarmist by liberals back in January and early February. How are liberals this out of touch with reality?

  1. Hes afraid! The mortality rate has them terrified because of their age group. Now we actually may see some progress.

    1. Careful what you wish for. This bug is known to also strike down others than just the elderly. And there is the possibility of a mutation, like seen in the Spanish Flu pandemic. The new strain of that virus struck down mostly people in the prime of their lives, less among the old and young.

    2. @Tony Garcia Possibly. Yet I don’t hear yet any reports of mass infections in Africa and India yet. Densely populated areas in third world nations with poor medical systems would be hit the hardest.

    3. @Elizabeth Porter God calls us all home, sooner or later. Many good people will also be taken by this virus.

    1. Mick sharpe, you need to bow down to someone greater than yourself. Without this man, the democrats would have burned the constitution a long time ago.

  2. I always feel like he’s laughing at the rest of us because he knows that he’s running with a ton of secret money. Extraordinary measures just means giving to the companies that donate to him.

    1. Not only that, but he’s got one of the most uneducated electorate of anyone in the senate. It’ll be amazing if he’s voted out.

    2. @Mister Hat
      Trump’s going to win again
      and the Republicans will keep the Senate and regain the House. Looney-Tune liberal heads will explode AGAIN 😁😁😁😁

  3. ONE REASON HE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ….HE CAN’T and NEVER HAS DONE HIS JOB ….he has PILES of BILLS on his desk that just sit there for 12 years

    1. Let me know when he gets to half the number of bills that Harry Reid left unsigned from the last administration.

    2. That’s because his job doesn’t concern the Average American, they concern the not very Average BILLIONAIRES.

  4. Didn’t he run off for a 3 day weekend and tell other Senators to do the same? You know during the time they were negotiating bills to deal with the virus? Extraordinary measures. Sure.

    1. He was in his home state with the loser Judge Kavanaugh looking for more lousy judges to flood the judicial bench. He knows the republican senate is doomed, so he is in a panic. He is trying to ruin our democratic norms by putting a bunch of unqualified empty headed judges into our judicial system.

    2. Plus the taxpayers pay for these Senators to travel back and forth. They could all stay at the Trump hotel for $100.00 a night, a Sentator rate not $650.00 a night. Then they could all work on all bills together a.s.a.p. The room that has to gag together will work harder to complete their duties!

    1. @caycug1 the gop put you in harms way when it wasnt necessary. Crazy trump wasted thousands of lives of service when he pulled out of Syria, and now when we need action he and McConnell screwed you and the health care workers. Face it or repeat it. Those are our choices.

    1. Actually … When God said “…and there shall be light.” Ol’ Moscow Mitch flipped the switch.

      Two terms should be enacted in the House and Senate!

  5. Translation: We’re going to take care of the real victims here, the corporations and their wealthy investors.
    Cool cool. 👍

    1. @Jan Asamoah Nope. I don’t believe in socialism for corporations. United made $1 billion in profits last year. Boo hoo, no one is traveling right now. Bail out the workers, not the board and investors.

  6. Mitch loves socialism, But only for his billionaire donors .
    The commoners get thier brand of ultra hard nosed capitalism .

    1. @caycug1 the gop put service people in harms way when it wasnt necessary. Crazy trump wasted thousands of lives of service when he pulled out of Syria, and now when we need action he and McConnell screwed us and the health care workers. Face it or repeat it. Those are our choices.

    2. @Yo Mama The joke is on the left.Go get your toilet paper..My bad I’m mean tissue for all the losing and whinning

  7. “Extraordinary measures” like get rid of the Fraud in Chief, his clown car full of yes men, and the corrupt GOP. Moscow Mitch just blocked a coronavirus relief bill. He wants to eliminate medicare and medicaid and social security. He has refused to legislate over 400 House bills…. Moscow Mitch and his wife are unquestionably corrupt.

    1. @caycug1 I am an Independent and probably more GOP than you are. I own guns, my own businesses, land… I served… I believe in oaths and duty but I can’t look my family in the eye and support grifters, liars, traitors, and criminals, people whose word is proven worthless while standing shoulder to shoulder w murdering white supremecists and ethno nationalists. Whats your excuse?

    1. It’s amazing how many feminine males and masculine females and genuine perverts are in the democRAT left wing BOWEL movement party.
