Mitch will Biden and the left in circles just for the fact y’all did that to our agenda the last 4 years. Idk if it will be as bad as Putin and Xi will run Biden/Harris (Harris included in the Congo is a joke) in foreign policy. Watch and learn young blood.
If I’m wrong I will we’ll more than own up to it if this presidency turns out any positivity for the majority of this country.

Wow! Mitch couldn't lead a sex addict to a whorehouse.
He is getting totally outplayed on this stimulus business. What he should have done was have the senate "amend" the house bill by replacing it with a 2-pager that eliminated all the pork and paid everybody $2,000, and sent it back to Nancy. Instead, he let democrats ram through all that pork, and now they are coming out as the champions of paying the little guys. Way to misplay it totally.
I'm really getting tired of my choices being socialist/communist democrats or incompetent republicans.

This is where I somewhat disagree with Mitch in short term negotiations. Note taken. Within 2-10 years none of this stimulus means jack **** and he plays the long term game. He even did under Trump.
Idk your age group but who gives a fack. $600-$2000 doesn’t mean **** to me. And to the vast majority of Americans it goes straight back to corporate so who gives a flying F.
Pay your dues old blood. IIRC you served so thank you for that!

The issue that Mitch should have framed was more money for average folks versus payola for special interests. Instead, he let democrats have their special interest pork, and now frames himself as opposing more for the little folks. He totally got played.

Agree that in two years it won't matter in the grand scheme of things, but he got played into the role of being the greedy republican when the door was wide open for him to take the moral high ground.

Obviously the $600 played so badly with the democrats' constituents that they came back immediately with a fix. But instead of blocking the fix, Mitch should have played it in the first place, gotten on the right side of the issue, and probably have an impact on the two Georgia runoffs that are critical.

I don't know, maybe Mitch loves him some Kennedy Center and thinks that as a privileged leader of congress he has God-given rights to enjoy it. But there are millions of hurting people nation-wide who really don't give a damn about the Kennedy Center.
