Oh, don't you know that's going to be a tough vote for Mitch and the Millionaires.

Talk about bad luck.

Gee, why didn't they do that the first time ? Pelosi knew what was in the bill....tens of billions to other countries while Americans got squat.

Now they are acting as if they will be the saviors of the American people.

If Republicans aren’t happy with the spending now wait until January if they lose the Senate (which this tactic makes more likely).

Both chambers and the WH for the Dems?

Helicopter money time and I’m going to laugh my ass off.

Because Trump was the wild card.

When he sided with the Dems on the direct checks that was game over for the GOP in Congress.

This Covid Bill situation is "textbook".

Anyone here honestly think either Republicans or Democrats are going to go "out of character here" (Republicans giving more services/money to the majority of struggling Americans and Democrats cutting excess pork spending)?

And it's as plain as day.

Hysterical and pathetic at the same time.

Keep voting folks.

True but the problem is the Georgia election in two weeks. The Republicans have way more to lose and the optics are terrible for them.

Good point. I wonder if Trump is trying to take the ship down with him as he heads out.

He's not doing this because he cares about people. He's doing it to poke a finger in Mitch McConnell's eye.
