No, Paul, you moronic imbecile. It's the money that was stolen from us at gunpoint and you're holding it hostage.

Okay, they call it free money. What do they call Hunters cash stream? I guess it depends on whose pocket the money is going to, just ask china joey and his long dark night gang.

The outrage over why this is in a virus bill, end of year, congress that can't work together. It isn't a left or right issue, they were trying to get something done, which should have been done months ago.
Months ago the agenda was to defeat Donald Trump at any cost to the people.

House Democrats have already passed a bill with 1200 per adult and 500 per child.

Moscow Mitch and the GOP is the one who doesn't give a damn about regular Americans and prevented the Senate from even taking up the issue until now, including the bill proposed by Harris, Sanders and Markey to issue $2000 payments PER MONTH for the duration of the pandemic. It wasn't Democrats who prevented that coming up for debate in the Senate

I don't think Pelosi is the right person to be in charge but name a thing the Republicans did that was right in any of the process of this fourth covid bill.

"It isn't a left or right issue,"

So your proof that Nancy Pelosi, worth $100 million+, cares about you is a measly $1200 stimulus check for 12 months of liberal lockdowns?

Wow, the Democratic plantation is real.

$1200 doesn't even cover the electric bill for Nancy's mansions.

No doubt to help the finance the building projects China is doing over there. Why don't we just cut China a check directly? Oh, wait, I'm sure Usurper Joe will do just that in gratitude for the Pandemic they caused.

Here's a member of Congress yesterday:

Quote:
On Monday we’re voting for $2000 direct payments.

It’s a stand alone bill. Nothing else. If you’re voting against this bill you’re saying loud and clear you don’t want to help struggling Americans in their time of need.

Let’s do our damn job.
Notice she failed to mention that Trump requested this very thing in October, when Nancy was playing games:

President Donald Trump has indicated he wants Congress to approve a stand-alone bill that would authorize a second round of $1,200 checks.

While both sides of the aisle have shown support for such aid, it could still be tricky to bypass politics and get that approval so close to the election.
Political games. Trump wanted to help, but the politicians would rather play games, and then go out and get haircuts, attend $10,000 a plate birthday parties, show us their freezer drawer filled with nothing but designer ice cream...because they care so much about you people.

Merry Christmas -

We're from the government, and we're here to help"

I personally like the $2,000 direct payment proposal be approved and STAND ALONE without all the extra pork thrown in, and then have the extra "line items" voted on one by one.

(Yeah, like THAT will happen!!)
