    1. This was the last stand before Jan 2nd. God be with those whome are about to be jobless and homeless

    2. @free2express08 before that Bernie Sanders said Mconnell was all for it. Guess again Bernie, he stabbed you.

    3. Republicans just voted to give big Martini tax breaks be to rich instead of helping average Americans who are suffering through no fault of their own but due to j competent government

    4. @Harold H , yes. Jesus’ mother in an apparition at Fatima warned of Russia spreading errors throughout the world. They is happening 100 years later.

    1. Mitch is the one that has the power to open the floor for a vote. If he says no then no senators vote on it and the bill just sits. Same thing he did to obama when obama was in office. Blocked everything he tried to get passed unless it had some interest in it for the republicans.. that’s is why a lot of republican voters feel that obama did nothing for America was because of mitch. The president has no control over money. It is congress that decides on all money making decisions
      Both congress and senate

    2. @Richarda muschette Future reference,… will give a list of anti Americans to vote out of office. The ones voting against are usually the ones getting their pockets greased and the public should be aware
      All the members that signed on to that TX suit need to be cut off the tit also, it’s called “cleaning the swamp”

    3. @deangelo pack
      and the house for the last 2 years.
      Democrats in the House passed for better way of 🗳 ing machines tracking every 🗳 paper trail.
      Easier way to 🗳
      🗳 ers shouldn’t have to stand in line for upto 10 hours.
      McConnell did nothing to pass any bill sat on his desk never brought to the floor to be 🗳 ed on.
      Georgia please 🗳 💙💙💙💙💙💙

    4. @deangelo pack True statement deangelo. But, America doesn’t see the truth! They would rather vote for Satan than have a democrat in control.

    1. If you act compassionate people will believe you care. I’m a fan of actions because “actions speak louder than words.”

    1. The wealthy own the majority of these Senators, when they aren’t passing laws to only benefit the rich they are passing laws to kick the workers in the face.

    2. That is the only thing with the Republicans party they are all for filthy rich corporations and the 1%. They never had compassion for the working class and poor. All parties have issue but the Democratic party is more compassionate and humanitarian than the GOP.

  1. The Republican Trump traitors are hurting Americans by not getting necessary relief to those in need during this pandemic. We will never forget this.

    1. @Dillon McCluskey check the ones that were arrested for the burning of Oregon.
      A known meth user and his 5 friends.
      Outsiders went to Minnesota to burn the police station down. Was not part of the peaceful protesters that were protesting.
      Thirteen arrested in Michigan 6 was going to kidnap the Democrat Govenor
      The others were going to blow up a bridge.
      3 white nationalist on there way to
      Las Vegas Nevada. To blow up downtown where peaceful protesters were protesting.
      Rochester NY white man with his face painted black arrested for rioting and looting where peaceful protesters were protesting. The umbrella man arrested for rioting and looting where peaceful protesters were protesting.
      FBI has helped arrest the outsiders.

    2. @lawrence jones for the last several months Senators. Sanders. Harris have asked for $ 2000, 00
      Last weekend Democrats was asking for $ 1,200.00 when in session all weekend McConnell and other Replubicians didn’t even want to give the $ 600.00. But Democrats gave them margarita lunch
      Trump played golf and said nothing the bill passed on Monday Congress went home and than trump yells $ 2000 .00
      He knew that McConnell wouldn’t go for that.

    3. The so-called tolerant left is the most hate fueled groups in America. Always willing to infringe on somebody else’s constitutional rights as they attempt to speak from a self-imposed moral High Ground…

  2. When people are cutting their medications in half it’s time to stop calling these funds a “stimulus”. It’s survival for many folks.

    1. @Jason Milton please! Its ridiculous to see the Voter Suppression that has been going on in Georgia 😡 NO EXCUSE! Let’s Flip the Senate Blue💙 Americans need help and that is the only way we will get relief and help for our children whom have suffered far too much already😥

    1. @Prettyije Peter so far, I was right for months that the odds were against trump.
      with everything crashing down across America.
      yet, the republicans across the U.S were 100% divided, split. there wasn’t enough loyal trumpers this 2020. thousands of thousands no longer supported trump.
      so, the same applies Over Georgia. the odds are against those two corrupted Republicans.

    2. @Roy St John And the sad thing bruh I’m from kentucky I hate my own state with all my heart. I’m born and raised here I will never claim this dump.

    1. Poor swamp dweller whites keep voting in rich old white males.. who do NOTHING to help them.. because hey ..”whiteness”… racism trumps self interests w them

    2. All this was combined with trump so not pass the republicans are destroying America leading the Americans people to misery.
      Congressional republicans just want to sit around getting their millionaires salary and watch the people go hungry
      President Republican here never not here
      No more republicano

  3. MOST RICH PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT POOR PEOPLE AND. MOST RICH PEOPLE WILL HELP THE RICH PEOPLE. BEFORE THEY ASSIST THE POOR PEOPLE.

    1. @The Truth no they do it for tax exemptions. But regardless of their intent, the wealthy contribute to the poor more than anyone else.

  4. Nothing like the voice of death chiming in at the last moment and objecting…
    The horror of Mitch McConnell has to be ejected from the Senate

  5. If the Senate does not approve the increase in Stimulus money, I’m hoping they lose the Georgia Runoff because of it….

    1. agreed but the 2 republicans are saying they agree with the 2000.00 so they can slither to hold on to there seat.

  6. And yet, the American people will continue to vote Republican, out of the same gullibility they were conned by in voting for Trump.

  7. I wanna ask Mitch how it feels to be the most hated man in America right now, he too old to understand our needs!!!
