  1. Crazy how all my life money from all my checks have gone to Medicaid and Medicare bt I can’t even get a physical underneath these health care providers.

    1. @blueseaview 22 ego disorder???? Where did your koolaid addled brain (assuming you have one) come up with that hallucination???

  2. We screwed those who need it most..disgusting effort to keep the “workers” indebted and powerless. Rich get richer and the sheep get
    Slaughtered..

    1. @mike yeghiayan Like Burr, Loeffler Feinstein and Inhofe. Are you mad that 3 Republicans sold stock after an Intel Briefing? I’m sure there even more that did this, including Trump.

    1. @Tone Justice go ahead boy. Say something bad about the Hell’s Angels now. Let’s see how brave you are. I’m not threatening you, I’m not a member of any gang. Go ahead… lip off about the Hell’s Angels now. Flip some more lip about the peckerwoods….go ahead open up your mouth now about HA. Ain’t my worry….. Boy.

    2. In the eyes of the spineless, Biden is the _”safe”_ choice, so _”safe”_ is this choice that people are already excited by the prospect of replacing him with Cuomo of all people and Biden himself has told his corporate donors that he will not serve a full term as president tacitly admitting that his VP will be the de facto president of the United States.
      *Democratic voters are **_idiots._*

    1. But the trolls are here in force now embracing Socialism with bailouts. Lying hypocrites PATHETIC.

    2. What doesn’t Bernie understand about helping small and bog business. This is not a bailout it is a rescue bill. Their making loans to business to cover their PAYROLLS of the laid off workers, so these businesses can stay afloat so when we get through this the business will still be there for their workers to come back to. Is this isn’t done these businesses will go under and close permanently. THEN the workers will be permanently be out of a job . anybody with have a brain cell understands this. It’s called thinking ahead to what happens when this virus is behind us. The American worker needs a job to go back to.

    3. @Nancy Hewitt this is Socialism call it different names bailouts are gov helping common needs is Socialism hypocrite.

    1. Rex Renolds absolutely. Let’s work, get the virus, and kill our grandparents, babies and parents. You’re such a man of god. That’s why I love republicans, they love god and do and think the complete opposite of what god taught. Great job…. idiot

    1. What’s even more scary, is that a lot of people are comparing this to the normal flu. “We’ve lost more people to the common flu, than this one.” What they don’t realize, is that deaths from the standard flu virus that we get “vaccines for “only represent .06% of the cases. This virus, however, is representing 1.5% of the CURRENT cases. We had an average of 38 million or more cases per year of the average flu.

      Use that same logic on what we have right now. We will have over 500,000 deaths. I would like someone to tell me that that’s not realistic. I will call them a fool.

      We need to shut everything in the country down for three weeks. Otherwise, they will see the worst depression in history. Our economy will rebound quicker, if we shut down now.

    2. @gene foster Exactly right.
      A faltering economy for a couple of months now or longterm sustained economic loss over the next year or two or three while the virus continues to spread and kills or permanently damages more people?
      All the greedy ultra-capitalists can think of is their short term losses.

    3. Also, I hope people come to realize that voting for Biden is equivalent to a Train as well.

      This might to be our last chance to break away from the oppression of low wage employment, over priced healthcare coverage, pollution, etc., etc.

    1. It was hard for me to believe I got a $10 increase in my Social Security this year and they took more money out of our food stamps which weren’t much to begin with now we did $43

    2. @Doreen Clark What a travesty. I hope the a$$e$ that run these programs get to experience what some of us are experiencing. I don’t like being a revengeful person, but I do feel that way now.

  3. when you actually do the numbers in my state, the proposal would actually result in some people being able to make more on UI than they would going back to work.

    Yes, most people want to get back to work, but if someone is going to pay you more $ to stay home for 4 months instead of going back to work, which would you do?

  4. Thank you Mr. Cooper! This progressive view needs more attention. Bernie Sanders has the ideas to get us through this crisis. His Virtual Fireside Chats and Pandemic panels on social media are bringing life-saving ideas to the American public. This is a President!

  5. On one side, you got Sanders: A still-serving senator who sidelines the campaign shenanigans to prioritize his Senate duties to tackle a national emergency
    On the other, you got Biden: Sitting behind a podium right now, taking shots at Bernie, using this as opportunity to gain campaign camera time

    1. @Robin Rae Swanson Well, for one thing, Bernie is still in office working for his state as well as campaining for US President. I say good job! However, Biden has no job in the political arena. He is the ex-vice president of the US. He is challenging Bernie and any others for the seat of President of the US to serve ALL people. Bernie’s state loves him and even if he looses this third attempt (?) he has a place and a office at home and the senate. Biden is unemployed.

  6. Stay in there Bernie, the United States and it’s populous is going to need you after this!

    Sidney Lumet, 1976 – I’m Mad As Hell and I’m Not Gonna Take This Anymore!

    1. Yeah. Loved that scene. He did it well and Bernie could REALLY put it down to catch peoples’s attention.

  7. The only person fighting for the people. Then, you get lowlives on dncnn working to rig the election, so they can keep the ¢hump fascist regime in power.

  8. *”Why is that when you take advantage of a tax break, and you’re a corporation, then you’re a smart businessman. But if you take advantage of something that you need to not be hungry, you’re a moocher?” – Jon Stewart*

    1. Marco Blanco dude, aren’t you glad you can send a stupid message on a phone (I assume or maybe you’re sitting on your desktop I dunno) invented by a half Arab criticizing a Jew that you’ll never be remotely as successful as? What an amazing world isn’t it? The smart ones invent so that the retards of the world can work tirelessly to screw themselves and everyone else around them because they’re too stupid to realize what’s best for them and their peers

    2. ‘..If we hang a man for stealing bread because he’s hungry, how high must the gallows be for those who steal for greed?’ – Snuff (Terry Pratchet)

    3. kierenalvarez so they (corporations)don’t want to pay taxes but want a bail out.. that makes sense!

  9. This man would have fought for us, “The American People.” A phrase worn out by the Republicans.

    1. He’s still running for the democratic nomination, if your primary hasn’t happened in your state, vote for him, he can still beat Biden!

    2. @Lyle Sanders if it wasn’t for him, there would be no one with the courage to stand up to the Republicans! How do you think there’s progressives in the house? It’s because Bernie motivated the nation when he was railroaded! Open your eyes! No one else has had the backbone to continually keep fighting for us! Not even Warren! He changed the court of public opinion to support the everyday workers over the banks and big corporations! Before the 2016 election, please tell me, who was fighting the ultra rich and demanding minimum wage to match the average cost of living in the past 20 something years? Tell me oh wise one.
