Yeah this "both sides" argument is BS when one side passed the damn bill in May and the Repugs sat on it until the last minute.
of course they don't care,
but at least the Dems' action of passing a bill is commendable vs Repugs' it and everybody except our BigDonor
Yeah this "both sides" argument is BS when one side passed the damn bill in May and the Repugs sat on it until the last minute.
Putting pork in a bill that overall will save people's livelihoods, small businesses, and fund essential services > Putting out an anemic bill filled only with pork for BigDonors at the 11th hour knowing not even your own side likes it after sitting on the Dem bill since May
Yeah.
Not the same.
Lolololololl
You cried online about having covid. Longhauler. LolollIlolI'lloolIoklololpp
Ok....you’re right, Democrats are all stand up folks that don’t have any suspect motives. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before?!
TimDunkem pointed out something specific the Democrats did that's better than what the Republicans did and you responded with a strawman accusing him of saying Democrats are great and have no suspect motives even though that's not even close to what he said.
There's a middle ground between blindly believing all Democrats are saints vs. drawing the glib conclusion that "they both suck!"
Sure seems like you have no way to defend the specific proposals McConnell is putting forward so you're trying claim it's a wash to deflect from how this crisis is due to a Republican president ing the pooch.

The Trump-Made Pandemic continues its economic carnage
1.7 million new unemployment claims show the painful reality of Trump’s Coronavirus Recession

COVID-19 is real
25 consecutive weeks of > 800,000 million new claims, 29 million people now claim state and federal UI.
It took four years of the Great Depression, ulatively, to cause unemployment equal to the last seven months, the unemployment rate shot up 10% in a single month, Q2 GDP dropped 9%, but it's apparently hyperbole if we describe it by saying anything other than "people were laid off."
we're down about 5% from this figure
Why is this guy still lying about me? Holy . Talk about obsessed.
Two-tiered bailout.

evictions continue despite the moratorium:
https://popular.info/p/corporate-landlords-defy-federalHow many people may be impacted by evictions? Stout estimates that there are 17.3 million households currently unable to pay rent and at risk of eviction. This represents more than 42% of all renter households. There is the potential for 11.7 million eviction filings over the next four months.
At present, the total rent shortfall is $21.5 billion. This seems like a lot of money but, it is a small fraction of the total amount spend on COVID-19 relief, $3.48 trillion. The CARES Act, for example, provided the Treasury Department with a $500 billion fund that will be used by the Federal Reserve to support trillions in lending to larger businesses. A small fraction of those funds could help keep millions of the nation's most vulnerable families off the streets.
More fiscal stimulus is needed, says Federal Reserve.
My tenants are hurting right now. I've told them to pay what that are able to and not to worry about the rest. There is no payback expected nor desired. I can cover the mortgages for now. Man, am I glad I unloaded most of my properties now.

Well, Trump is calling for another stimulus at a higher number than Repugs are calling for. You can assure that Republicans will begin falling in line now.
Senate Repugs said nothing happens until after the election.
