Where were these clowns in early October when Trump said he wanted a standalone bill for $1200 checks?
It's 100% obvious that Pelosi held up any stimulus in order to harm Trump's electoral chances.
The house passed stimulus after stimulus. In September and October. They all died in the Senate where McConnell refused to discuss them.
Yup, McConnell is about as swampy as it gets.
This Covid bill is filled with so much nonsense it's astounding. Somehow the Republicans amended it with a tax break for owning a racehorse.
Mitch isn't even from KY. I do not know how he got elected in the first place. He owns a home here that he never visits according to reporting.
I'm no fan of McConnell.
The house DID NOT pass a standalone bill for $1200 checks as Trump asked for in early October. Nancy Pelosi refused to bring anything to the table that didn't include garbage like nation wide ballot harvesting. The other huge point of contention was that Republicans wanted corporate liability protections and Democrats wanted state and local aid.
Pelosi refused to bring the $1.8 trillion offer from Mnuchin to the floor, and was chastised by Ro Khanna and Andrew Yang for not taking the compromise bill.
This offer that passed is half of what the executive branch offered in October. Pelosi said she was ok with doing it because Biden won the election.
The Republicans in the Senate and the House are able to introduce bills. Not a single one of them did that. Why didn't Trump pressure McConnell to introduce legislature for a standalone bill?
Mitch controls the Senate floor and is a giant cunt. Pelosi controls the house floor and is also a giant cunt.
Both need to go.
That's because it gave millions to democrat ruined cities that let Blm destroy them come on keep ip
It also gave billions and billion to Republican ruined rural areas.
The Republicans were not the ones telling the police Stand Down well they rioted and destroyed the cities in the middle of a pandemic, but fukk them as well we need stand alone bill or nothing
I don't talk about the riots. I talk about how Republicans destroyed rural areas by shipping jobs overseas and flooding rural areas with opiods.
Then you are changing the subject that stuff you are talking about didn't happen over night like the Blm riots either way that doesn't justify giving any money to any City at the moment we need to stand alone Bill and that is all
I'm not changing the subject. The bill had billions for Democrat ruined cities and the bill had billions for Republican ruined rural areas.
This is just a lie. They passed stimulus after stimulus WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF CRAP ATTACHED. They were basically trying to push through a bunch of unrelated items. They never once passed a clean standalone bill.
And they still haven't. This bill (which is attached to a larger bill) is full of massive amounts of pork.
Did the Republicans in the Senate try to pass a clean standalone bill?
Asking for 1200 and getting shot down by the Republicans.
Pay some attention, will you?
Did Pelosi bring a standalone $1200 check bill to the floor? NO.
Now they are saying that they will increase the $600 to the $2000 to satisfy the request that Trump has made, but obviously they won't be willing to remove all of the corporate handouts in the omnibus package like he requested.
Did Trump ask to have a standalone 1200 check bill to the floor before this week?
Yes, all the way back on October 6th.

So why are the Republicans not doing it?
Okay, but are we going to take out the rest of the BS, like $ to study gender in Pakistan in some sort of swap of priorities? No? Then I'd rather get nothing.
The Democrats are like a pawnshop owner or a used car buyer. They lowball you first to see if you're stupid or desperate enough to take a losing offer. Pelosi is a cheap bitch who insulted every American with her 600 while she lives in a mansion and eats ice cream. If her home district weren't so corrupt, she'd be out on her ass for how she treats ordinary people.
How is this a Conspiracy? This is news, not conspiracies.
It’s somewhat a conspiracy. The intention behind the bill is aligned with globalism/Marxism/corona hoax/wealth transfer. All things that are considered conspiracies
This website seems more like a news/politics website than a conspiracy one. Are there other places for real conspiracies now voat is shutting?
Agreed. Posts should at least have some tertiary link to a conspiracy on here.
Offtopic but AOC.. my god, so cringe.
She complains about the 5500 page bill and how no one could possibly read it, votes YES anyway..
Then when Trump calls out all the pork and asks for it all to be removed and just to give $2,000 to everyone, she thinks shes clever and gonna be the first to overcome this hurdle by calling her guy at K Street to amend the 5500 page bill to change $600 to $2000. Then posts it on Twitter like "look what I did!" not realizing what a fool she just made of herself.
Congress is missing an important step here. LOSE THE PORK. WRITE A CLEAN BILL.
Remove the SOPA/PIPA crap.
Is it still 5,500 pages long and filled with money for foreign countries?
I bet you are one weird dude...
Take the leftist lens of truth off and see the world for a day.
ayyy, puff puff pass, son!
Take a look at some Democrat donors. Fat cats and crony corporations in both parties.
And that is how you play 4D chess.
