Bill passes 219-210 and onto the senate it goes. Shows 2 dems voted against the relief bill. Must be a mistake.
Odd that Republicans can't unite behind relief that 70% of Americans are in favor of.
One wonders how overwhelming popular support would have to be for Republicans to budge an inch from their rigid, austerian ideology.
This way this plays out i think just keep referring to how Hitlers rule played out.
Orange / Hitler becoming more and more alike.
Kammy gonna kick the winning 51-50 field goal after the usual bull display in the Senate?
Democratic reluctance to go big = foaming the runway for Trump 2.0, jmo.
Repugs' BigDonor class is their only cons uency when "governing", voters are ignored.
BigDonor class' bribes are always 100% accepted by Repugs

ACA enhancements in the COVID bill? Board Republicans are apparently too transfixed by Mr. Potato Head and trans athletes to complain about such.

I thought the point of reconciliation is to bypass any bull delay like this? Just let democrats vote and be done with it.
reconciliation means passage without 60 votes, it looks like prick RJ's nonsense is still available,
Subsidize for profit health insurance companies was always the plan

Socialism for the rich, tbh.
socialism for the rich or "corporate socialism" is a snappy retort, but based on the misunderstanding that socialism = government aid
One party passes COVID relief the other is worried about the genitalia of a plastic potato toy.
Yeah both parties are the same.
(nods) point well made. I was more referring to how we socialize the losses and risk taking of the vulture capital class when they crash the economy, but don't seem to find the backbone to help regular people as much.
Now, we have that concentration accelerating with the giveaway from 2018. The wealthiest could cut everybody a six figure check and still be as wealthy as they were a year ago.
Whatever you call it, the rich have continued their unfettered theft from the poor.
(corporate) socialism, many definitions possible, like fascism, could mean the govt confiscating citizens wealth (taxes) and redistributing to the oligarchy, which fights like (bribes govt) to keep that wealth from flowing to needy citizens, esp non-white citizens.

So he's not worried about the deficit, but how tall the transport that needs to move all that money is?
Hot take: it's an avoidable political mistake for the Biden COVID survival check to reach fewer people than Trump's.
Stupid Dems.
Instead they should raise the topline and expand the bill's reach.
Dems had to cave to their own Dem Senators
I hear republicans are planning a vote A Rama on this that will take half a day probably.
Again I have to ask why this is allowed under the reconciliation rules.
