Playing politics with people desperately needing help. They deservre a special place in hell for this.

Schumer and Pelosi Try to Add Fuel Emission Standards For Airlines, More Wind and Solar Tax Credits to Coronavirus Stimulus Package. Democrats Holding Up Coronavirus Relief Putting 'Wokeness' Over The American People

Quote:Senate Democrats on Sunday blocked phase 3 of the Coronavirus economic stimulus bill.

60 votes were needed for this bill.

All Democrats, and Independents who caucus with Dems voted no.

Pelosi and Schumer continued to play politics on Monday amid the Coronavirus shutdown and demanded a wish list of Socialist policies that have nothing to do with the global pandemic.

Pelosi and Schumer are now pushing these demands:

1) Unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions

2) Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines

3) Expansion of wind and solar tax credits

Even worse, not only are these demands totally unrelated to the Coronavirus pandemic, they could prevent companies from participating in the loan programs — directly causing unnecessary layoffs, according to a senior GOP aide.

Said it before. Call. Email. Write a dam actual letter.

Let them hear your voice, folks. Your local H rep and 2 senators and they will hear you! That’s three (3!) people. Take you ten minutes tops.

Even (and perhaps especially) the dims will hear you. DO IT!

Then, when this idiocy continues, do it again.

In a typical district it doesn’t take much to flip a seat, SCARE THEM SCHITLESS!

3 calls or emails. Not like we’ve got much else to do these days! :bourbon:

It becomes increasingly harder to even care about politics. It's easy to see why like half the country doesn't vote. One party I just completely disagree with on nearly every issue, and the other I disagree with on probably half the issues and they are so fundamentally corrupt and dis-trustworthy that I know they won't even try to do the half of things I agree with them on.

You're slowly coming around to my side. Both parties suck. They need to go away. They are destroying the country.

Moat of the back and forth in here is fueled by blind loyalty to one side or the other. We are divided for no good reason.

The two parties are the same. They just use different platforms to stir up voters, but all of them care more about staying in power or regaining it, and about their individual careers.

I try not to take sides, b/c I want both parties to die, but I have to admit, the Dems are more harmful now, IMO, b/c they absolutely tried to overthrow Trump even before he was elected, they impeached him for BS, and now they are holding up aid to the country to ram as much of their (nationally unelected) agenda into the bill as possible.

The GOP for better or worse at least lets the will of their voters decide who wins and loses. The leadership certainly didn't want Trump, but they didn't cheat to stop it.

How do any of these things fight the virus or the effects of the restrictions?

Quote:As previously reported, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi came back to Washington D.C. last night after a week long recess and blew up days of emergency relief work done by the Senate. She wants to write her own far left bill and now we know what will be in it.

According to a source close to the process on Capitol Hill, in order to move forward with any kind of relief package, Pelosi and her far-left Democrat caucus will demand the following be included:

-Publication of corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards

-A bail out on all current debt at the Postal Service

-Required early voting

-Required same day voter registration

-Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining

-Full offset of airline emissions by 2025

-Publication and reporting of greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights

-Retirement plans for community newspaper employees

-Federal $15 minimum wage

-Permanent paid leave

-Study on climate change mitigation efforts

The provisions will apply to the companies and business rescued by the bill.

"The provisions will apply to the companies and business rescued by the bill. "

Pelosi's deal is just like the Devil... take something from the Devil and you're owned by the Devil.

Quote:President Donald Trump put his foot down on Democrats’ attempts to advance their leftist political agenda by hijacking the coronavirus relief bill and filling it with partisan demands that are not related to the coronavirus crisis.

The president made the announcement late on Monday night after Democrats ruined an opportunity to advance a $1.8 trillion stimulus bill on Sunday night.

“Republicans had a deal until Nancy Pelosi rode into town from her extended vacation,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “The Democrats want the Virus to win? They are asking for things that have nothing to do with our great workers or companies. They want Open Borders & Green New Deal. Republicans shouldn’t agree!”

About an hour later, Trump quote retweeted an article from National Review that was titled: “Congressional Democrats Add Last-Minute Ideological Demands to Coronavirus Relief Package”

Trump wrote: “This will never be approved by me, or any other Republican!”

The article listed a number of things that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have added to the spending bill.

On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) highlighted some of the spending items that Democrats are seeking that have nothing to do with the coronavirus:

Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards at companies receiving assistance.
Bailing out all current debt of postal service
Required early voting
Required same day voter registration
10k bailout for student loans
For companies accepting assistance, 1/3 of board members must be chosen by workers
Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining
Full offset of airline emissions by 2025
Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
$15 minimum wage at companies receiving assistance
Permanent paid leave at companies receiving assistance

USA Today noted that Pelosi’s bill calls for nationwide ballot harvesting, a shady practice that is believed to lead to voter fraud:

Perhaps the most troubling sections of the bill are under the rubric ‘‘American Coronavirus/COVID–19 Election Safety and Security” or ‘‘ACCESS” Act. This section would impose requirements on states for early voting, voting by mail, required mailing of absentee ballots to everyone, ballot harvesting (i.e., having third parties deliver absentee ballots), online voter registration, same-day registration and other practices which undermine confidence in the integrity of the ballot. In these days of increasing threats to election security we should be moving rapidly back to in-person paper ballots, but this bill would be a radical step in the wrong direction.

Some of the other absurd things that were included in the bill include $35,000,000 for the JFK Performing Arts Center.

Numerous publications have correctly placed the blame on the Democrats for stalling the process for getting suffering American families the relief that they need to make it financially as companies have been forced to shutdown as a result of the coronavirus, which originated in China.

CNN noted that Democrats were engaging in “political gamesmanship” with the bill.

Even MSNBC noted that the Democrats’ bill involves issues “that are arguably not a current crisis.”

Pelosi won't be able to return the pens as they are already embossed.

I just posted something similar in another thread...

basically I have been against both parties for the past several decades and would not vote for either.

Due to this tragedy, Dems have raced past the Reps in gaining my hatred.

I will vote for Trump just because of the BS the Dems have been up during this. They are the party of HATE and they have earned mine.

These are the same folks who thought Bloomberg spending 300 million on the campaign meant he could give a million dollars to every American instead. Real geniuses.

Quote:House Speaker Nancy Pelosi poked fun at CNBC’s viewership after host Jim Cramer asked her to speak to the around “150 million working people” who are worried about their future because of the novel coronavirus.

Cramer asked Pelosi during “Squawk on the Street” about the coronavirus stimulus bill, which Congress has been unable to advance for two days straight. He pressed Pelosi on why the bill has not been passed.

Cramer asked if Pelosi could respond to the “150 million working people right now who are watching and listening” who were wondering if “they have a job on Friday.”

“I’m glad you have such a large audience,” Pelosi quipped.

Pelosi and Schumer said it is not true. What happened was that Trump and Schumer agreed on a deal that CEO when they get the bailouts should not give it to their pay raises, pay raises for the the board, and buy stock buy backs which it happened in the bank and auto bailouts and with Trump's tax cuts for the corporations. What happened was that Mitch McConnell took out that language from the bill which was against the wishes of Trump's. Mitch McConnell needs to be voted out of office. If Mitch kept what was agreed upon? The bill would have passed.

That is racist. Pelosi and the Demoncraps are racists.

Gaslighting? How about shining light on Pelosi's corrupt personal dealings and publishing them in real time over the years?

Dems say they want to save a few lives, while at the same time murdering thousands more women per day than they do now. Evil Hypocrites.

Pelosi Laughs Off Jim Cramer’s Question About Helping Workers With A Joke About CNBC’s Viewership

Quote:House Speaker Nancy Pelosi poked fun at CNBC’s viewership after host Jim Cramer asked her to speak to the around “150 million working people” who are worried about their future because of the novel coronavirus.

Cramer asked Pelosi during “Squawk on the Street” about the coronavirus stimulus bill, which Congress has been unable to advance for two days straight. He pressed Pelosi on why the bill has not been passed.

Cramer asked if Pelosi could respond to the “150 million working people right now who are watching and listening” who were wondering if “they have a job on Friday.” (RELATED: ‘People Must Be Helped’: Sen. Fischer Breaks Down On Senate Floor As Democrats Block Coronavirus Stimulus Bill Again)

“I’m glad you have such a large audience,” Pelosi quipped.

Democrats have resisted voting for the bill, which failed to pass both Sunday and Monday. The phase-three Senate bill would give $1,200 to every American who makes under $75,000 annually. Couples would receive $2,400 and every child would get $500. (RELATED: Senate Passes Coronavirus Aid Package)

Pelosi announced Sunday that she would halt negotiations with the Senate and push her own coronavirus package bill in the House. This would cause an unexpected delay in providing Americans with relief funding, a decision that Cramer tried to hammer Tuesday morning.

The Dems are still holding out for their bullsh#t leftist give aways. I thought the Dems could never go any lower than the Kavanaugh hearings, but as Sen Kennedy from Louisiana just said, they have managed to do it. How you Dems on this board aren't joining in to condemn this is I guess just expected when you live by the team over country every day of the year.
