What To Expect As Lawmakers, Leaders Meet On Coronavirus Relief Bill | MSNBC
Donald Trump is the poor man’s idea of a rich man, the idiot’s idea of a smart man, the cowards idea of a strong man, the hypocrites idea of a Saint, and the fools idea of a leader.

Sky Christy Presents <---I'm just here to see who is obsessed with Trump. FOUND ONE
well said!!
I just wonder if the republican senate think people will take into account how callous they are acting while people are dying, being evicted and their loyalty to the thing in the White House? And yes I am a lefty. I have worked all my life and have faithfully pay my taxes while a widow and supporting one son and three daughters and two grandchildren. I just lost my son to the virus, and I cry for all who have lost someone to the pandemic, it’s so painful, there are no words. The painful truth is that this catastrophe could have been prevented. Life is full of boomerangs, each of us are continuously throwing them out into the universe and just remember how they come back to you in the same way you have: karma.
Are you sure?
Brilliant
In the mean time while there stalling, they are still getting paid, while many Americans are out of work and hungry and being eviction. Time for a change with trem limits
Wtf is it taking so long I can’t believe they will let ppl go hungry and homeless omg all these demons
It will be deliberate, you can be sure of that. Now think about all those homeless, jobless, hungry, angry Americans with all those guns and ask yourself, is Trump hoping for another civil war so he can cancel the election and remain in power?
Not even a full blown civil war, just an armed uprising would be enough.
That’s the plan.
Trump and the Republicans are only interested in power and know they are in trouble. Their goal is to disenfranchise as many voters as possible. Trump and his Republican enablers are working to make sure Americans do not have enough money to pay rent. In their minds the more folks that get evicted will make it that much easier for the Republicans to disenfranchise them; – – – it will make it that much harder for the evicted to get registered with a correct address in time for the election and that much easier for the Republicans to deny their ballots.
@Borvo
What ever the plan is you can be sure it’s deliberate and calculated.
Whenever you hear an American politician say the words, “for the American people,” you can guarantee they’re working on a way to scam you.
@Jim Battersbee One of many very bad parts of the plan
@cupguin the working people pay into this unemployment insurance
Republicans have to protect their major donors and corporate masters.
@Richard Hunt its clear we live in a debt based consumer economy bailing out businesses etc will.never solve anything its a bandaid till they milk us again …. This is the biggest wealth & power transfer in history . the people have been dooped …
@Eva Lopez You need to expand your sources of information. That BS your spewing sounds like your only sources of information are Trump, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Vladimir Putin and other right wing propagandists. The amount of money in the Republican’s COVID-19 rescue bill that Moscow Mitch and the Senate Trump apologizers have loaded in that has nothing to do with helping American citizens hurt be COVID-19 is enough pork to choke even the wealthiest 1%er.
For example, here is just a short list of some of the items in the Republicans bill that have nothing to do with helping Americans being harmed by COVID-19:
> $1.75 billion for a new FBI headquarters building to be built across the street from Trump’s hotel in Washington DC
> $30 billion in defense spending, with a good chunk of that money allocated to purchasing new aircraft, ships, and missiles
> $283 million for the Army through the end of 2022
> $375 million for upgrading its complement of Stryker armored personnel carriers
> $686 million to the Air Force to purchase more F-35As
> $720 million into funding buying more C-130J military transport aircraft
> $650 million to pay for replacement wings for the Air Force’s A-10 aircraft
and for the Navy
> $1 billion to purchase P–8A Poseidon aircraft
> $1.4 billion for new medical ships
> $260 million for a new Expeditionary Fast Transport vessel
> $41 million for new Naval Strike Missiles and launchers (made by Raytheon)
> $50 million for submarine-detecting “sonobuoys.”
and of course a favorite of Republicans
> a liability shield that would limit the ability of employees to sue their employers for contracting COVID-19 while on the job.
– – – a blatant effort to dismantle tort liability.
FYI – Tort liability a form of market pressure that forces those who may be held liable (here, employers) to take proactive safety measures; that is, employers would be able to make a person come to work without taking any measures to protect that employee and there would be no recourse for the employee.
Please feel free to provide a list of items in the Democrat’s Heros bill that do not address helping American citizens hurt by COVID-19.
@Borvo LOL

@Eva Lopez That was interesting, but I did not see a list of items in the Democrat’s Heros bill that do not address helping American citizens hurt by COVID-19.
Funnel some more of our taxes to big business and hope the poor all get covid and just go away
Why do you put that thumbnail as if those guys were actually being interviewed, lameee
Republicans are all in with tax cuts for the rich. Little people mean nothing. Term limits for the Senate!
Leftover McDonald’s for the republicans! Nothing tastes better than a cold McCheese.
You don’t mean like your boss soros, mike bloomberg, mark cuban, pelosi, and the rest of the white liberal billionaires, do you?
@Carl Jito No, we mean the Koch brothers and Trump who fund the deep state
Quit being little
Why worry about the deficit,congress does not ,why should Americans,the country needs help,the hungry are crying out.
They don’t worry when they give money to big corporate!! What about the people and the children!! Vote Vote!!!
@True Love You have to support candidates that want to get money out of politics not just vote for any Democrat
wtf ???? smh, ALL are getting voted out!!!!, IN NOV. THERE…. THIS IS OUR VOICE!!!! TALK MONEY??? say bye to your $200,000+ jobs
i agree 💯% …they are greedy trash that never should have been in positions “for the people” in the first place…smh
What I expect is; Steve Mnuchin and Trump to steal a boat load of stimulus funds to fill their own pockets.
Edit: $80,000,000 dollar aluminum can art pieces are more important to these cretins than human lives!
No, that’s what the Clintons and Biden’s do…you are mixed up you little fool.
I’m just here to see who is obsessed with Trump. FOUND ONE —> Grim Reefer
@YouRuse is A leftist org How is the weather in Israel?
The GOP do not want to commit to a long term agreement. Democrats stay strong.
I totalky agree cos ghry believe it is only blacks ,lztinos and Asians who needs the help.
@Kiki I hope you DON’T ever need the HELP

This horrible situation never end … while Americans people are suffering
@paul vaillancourt cultists brought that bull_h!+, hook, line, and sinker when Oompa Loompa’d been doing everything except French kiss Xi.
Because of Libturds!
Imagine if this was a military invasion instead of a viral pandemic, the USA would be a pushover. Luckily for Americans, no-one wants such a failed shithole of a country.
The incompetence is eye-watering, the division and dysfunction is staggering. This pandemic is now in its eighth month and the US still has no coherent strategy to deal with it, it’s the greatest failure of any nation in modern history.
immobilien get a clue moron … look at all the other countries who had brains running the crisis ….
Cliff Medina only stupid people talk like that hick much?
Negotiations with Republicans are futile. They propose relief for corporations and trickle down relief for the rest of us!
They also want a new FBI building to house the gestapo thugs who will turn America into a fascist state.
No. If the Republicans don’t do anything, they will have a very hard time in the election. The Democrats are in the same boat as well. Something will happen.
Two hours each meeting, wow I’m floored by their dedication. Dam disgusting.
Democratic’s should cross their arms and demand the Senate approve the Hero’s Act. Show Trump and his lackeys they wont call the shots after the election and this is what it will feel like.

Oh oh boy , are the American people being gamed . Shameful .

Democrats Want 2 Trillion More Money To Bail Out Their States That Have Let These Riots Run Wild In Their Cities…Do Not Think So…Republicans Bill Covers Everything The American People Need And The Loser Democrats Turned It DOWN.
Gamed By The DEMOCRATS…They Turned The Republicans Bill Down Again.

Republicans don’t have a problem giving the military trillions…but, the people of the country who need it…crickets.
Don’t forget the Democrats when Sanders proposed a 10% cut in military spending, he was almost unanimously voted down
If you had a rich daddy you probably voted for trump.
Or if you’re brother is your daddy, you probably voted for trump!
I’m going to make sure a lot of people don’t vote for the Republicans they are useless
It’s all about Trump’s payroll tax cuts. Say goodbye to S.S. and Medicare.
