naw, he just acts like it.
Are you over the age of 14?
naw, he just acts like it.
the reality is that the house bill that passed was never going to be the final bill.
Mitch never even brought it for a vote, because he didn’t want to make senators have to vote on it for political purposes. They had no problem rushing a justice through, and he bragged about what they did there.
all these poor people, many vote that r ticket every year has been frightened into agreeing to damage themselves and their families because they have been brainwashed and trained to think that it’s fine they’re losing everything, because black people will lose too.
remember that article during the last shutdown, where they went to some red part of Florida, and the complaint wasn’t that their representatives were intentionally destroying their lives, but that the wrong people were being punished.
Pelosi and Schumer are worthless in their own special way, but McConnell, and r leadership is straight evil.
dirks is a moron who was scared into thinking immigrants and black people and people using restrooms are the problem, when the r’s have had continuous control at all levels of government for most of the past 25 years. He is the very definition of a low iq low information voter that is everything that is wrong with this country.
Does your iq touch room temperature?
Depends on what’s on the table and what part of the food chain you’re sitting on.
If you’re at the top 1% I expect gold plated socialism just like with this outgoing administration...
If you’re not, then options are seriously limited, tbh
Biden is bringing in Goldman Sacks and other BigFinance types in for the transition, and no doubt for Exec branch.
BigFinance will dictating guard rails between which the Dems must remain.
Biden and Dems are not saviors simply because they are not as seditious as the entire Repug party. A VERY low bar
America has huge problems, so much progress needed but I expect little effort from the Dems (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer? G M A F B ), which effort in any and every case, will be blocked by McConnell's Senate.
the math and the policy aren't difficult.
just give people money.
leaving aid for cities and states out of the bill would be an epic, unnecessary self-wounding

Repugs want to stop the Fed from helping the economy under Biden, so the ecomomy would stay cratered into the 2022 campaign
Schumer, Toomey resolve COVID-19 relief sticking point, potentially setting stage for vote
a sticking point about the Federal Reserve's ability to set up emergency lending programs without congressional approval, which Toomey wanted to restrict.
the central bank wouldn't lose that power, but its options would be narrower —
the Fed wouldn't be able to replicate programs identical to the ones it started in March
unless Congress signed off.if it's Dem Congress, will the Dems sign off? not sure
the bill is expected to include $300 per week in enhanced unemployment benefits,
$600 direct payments for individuals,
$330 billion for small business loans,
more than $80 billion for schools, and
billions more for COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

Not enough, but a Repug Senate next year will block any more.
Congress is out of reach of the citizenry who has NO control of what actually happens in Congress.
Congress has dual priority,
1) getting financed to win/maintain office, thereby hired by the oligarchy,
2) quid pro quo, returning wealth and power to the oligarchy.
Citizens?
We can GO OURSELVES as mere wage and debt slaves to the oligarchy royalty and its enforcers in Congress.
lol
Deal reached on 900 billion stimulus.
agreement reached, now both chambers to vote on it, and Trash sign it
I could find not how long the $300/week for unemployed will run. it's not enough and probably only a few weeks, while unemployment will continue to increase and Labor won't get vaccine for many months.
$300/week for only 11 weeks.
Economy and unemployment will be WORSE in 11 weeks.

I'm not so sure about that...
I'm not "sure", but unemployment will be up, people will still not be going out drinking, eating, movies, 1000s of SMBs terminating, C-MBS going s up for lack of rent income to pay mortgage, and the masses won't get vaccinated for several months.
You found that? Where? In someone's crystal ball?
no, current horrible trend is holding, and probably getting worse.
the docs have gotten better at saving lives, but their hospitals, like in NYC back in April, will be doding triage and some will die for lack full treatment from hospital flat out of resources.
Recent history is best indicator of near future, say of next few months. no crystal ball.
3000 dead / day for 3 months gives us 500K dead by April.
Find epidemiologists or front-line health care managers who are optimistic.
This disaster was never unavoidable but didn't HAVE to be this bad. USA is "proud" once again to be World Champion, this time of Pandemic Self- ing
All thanks to the anti-leadership of Trash and Repugs, and many thanks to all his cult mob of FreeDumb-loving anti-maskers.

damn, boutons actually types sentences instead of just spamming articles and cussing?
time to take him off ignore or is this a one-off?
You don't think 3 months of vaccine rollout will have a positive effect?
3 months of vaccine rollout will go to front line medicals, nursing home survivors, professional athletic organizations, the oligarchy, near friends of the oligarchy, BigFinance, anybody critical to the oligarchy's revenue flow.
I doubt Trash's Exec Order beloved brown meat packers will get vaccinated.
============
Dr. Vivek Murthy: ‘May be closer to mid summer, early fall’ for widespread vaccine distribution
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...on-98113605754
Then we have 50M? Trash cult mob who will refuse to be vaccinated, keeping the pandemic going and perhaps mutating requiring re-working the vaccines, just like annual seasonal flu vaccines "fighting the last war".
"It would also add a $300 federal unemployment supplement and
temporarily keep in place pandemic-era programs that expanded unemployment insurance eligibility.
It was not immediately clear how long each of those measures would last."
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/20/mcco...ulus-deal.html
btw, TX unemployment rate is over 8%
Dems are approving now, with the intent of greatly expanding once Biden is in office.
Of course, Senate Repugs with 50+ would kill any more pandemic aid, keep Americans in maximum distress for the 2022 elections.
