Fate Of $2,000 Stimulus Checks Now Rests With Senate | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Dead on arrival,…
Republicans already blocked it once so despite what Trump says, we already know where they stand. They didn’t even want to send the $600. No way they’ll vote for $2000.
I AM IN SHOCK HOW 1 PERSON (MITCH) HAS SO MUVH POWER..WAY TO MUCH POWER THAT ITS SCARY. HE IS A HORRIFIC CRIMINAL
Finally the spotlight is on the grim-reaper and his fellow senate republicans so America see who the road blockers are. Buck stops with them and they can’t blame anyone else now.
Forty years of austerity EXCEPT for the material, which always has received and is receiving lashings of money. Giving citizens the money they need to eat, keep a roof over their heads, clothe their kids and have the occasional frill like takeout from a local eatery, is the best way to boost the real economy (not the Wall Street/billionaire/CEO “economy”). Pare back the military, give people income, support small businesses and the rest will follow.
CHECKMATE MITCH
This link is basically everything a Biden supporter is about, they only live for THIS #bidentouchingkids
Built jobs and people owe to their own to get it together instead of believing in fairy tales just start learning to write with speed. It’s better to improve life then focus on the afterlife we have already lived in peace for the most part let’s continue to built trade
How about $2000 a week, that’s more in line with people’s bills.
This attempt to get us $2000 is doing nothing more than holding up the help we so desperately need for another couple weeks. Arguing over the stimulus amount of $2000 or $600, when the important part of the bill is the weekly unemployment money we need to pay bills and feed our families, is so stupid and outright cruel. If the democrats want to fight for us to get us more money, give us the stupid $600 that’s going to do nothing for those suffering and get us more than $300 a week unemployment!!! I’d rather be getting $500 or $600 a week unemployment than a sh!tty stimulus check that’s an insult to those of us that have been paying taxes our whole lives.
For those of you crying “socialism” because people need help from the government, TAXES ARE A SOCIALIST PROGRAM MEANT FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE! This is what you pay taxes for! Infrastructure, police departments, fire departments, military, government, and OUR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING AS CITIZENS! The fact that politicians see it as their money to do with as they please and feel they can withhold it when citizens are desperate through no fault of their own, is TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! IT’S NOT THEIR MONEY, IT’S OURS!!! DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ALIKE, ITS OURS!!!
Both DEMS and REPCRAPS are THUGS who has specialized in STEALING TAX PAYERS MONEY. Csncel all, make it simple and direct. No PPP, NO RENT/MORTGAGE assistance, both are designed to Steal money. Give every one below certain income direct pay and continue unemployment benefits. That is all needed. Last PPP and small business loan was given to Russian mafias. You know it.
Trump works for Putin. We need to work hard at fixing this country and our global standing. TRUMP HAS WORKED HAD A DESTROYING AMERICA AND ALL IT STOOD FOR.
We must begin asking the hard questions again. Why was all of this Pork included in the stimulus bill that was intended to help suffering Americans out of work because of COVID-19 shut downs? Why did congress include billions of dollars for country such as Pakistan, Israel and the Sudan? Who is responsible for giving millions of dollars to these foreign countries and awarding peanuts to suffering Americans?
Who is responsible for including funding for two new museums connected with the Smithsonian. One museum would cover women’s issues and the other museum would cover Latino issues? Why was this unnecessary spending included in the stimulus bill? Who is responsible for this? Why were these museums given millions of dollars while suffering Americans receive peanuts.
Both Trump and some of our most progressive members of the Squad appeared to be the only ones supporting suffering Americans out of work because of COVID-19 and the resulting business shut downs. Trump and the Squad apparently embarrassed Congress because now they are willing to give suffering Americans more aid. We still need to ask who was responsible for including the outrageous amount of pork in the stimulus bill.
A perfect example of the crew fighting for control of a sinking ship while the paying passengers are drowning. Strange bedfellows indeed. Also, a shout out to Bernie for representing those who are neck-deep and sinking fast.
Attention my Fellow Trump supporters! Our Votes wont Count in Georgia as it will be Rigged.. Stay Safe and Stay Home Patriots…
Oh look who’s trying to be relevant. The fake wanna be president elect
Moscow Mitch will shut it down. And Americans will forget about it. Again.
“Uphill battle” presumes a chance of “winning.” There is not. The GOP will never, ever vote for this bill, even if they as people think it’s the right thing to do. They are FAR too entrenched in their “democratic socialist extremism” narrative to actually do something simple that will help people.
Anything from the Democrats is DOA to Mitch McConnell… no matter how much it helps we the people.
If the Republicans shut it down the people arent going to forget it was the Republicans who hurt the people. They will remember at the polls.
We need the $2,000.00 now without any delay and we need to vote the Republicans out of the office too.
Fact check…fact..government doesn’t care about you!
Mitch will be gone, or rendered non-effective. His protector will be busy trying to stay out of jail.
