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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, all the way back on October 6th.
