    Totally worth delaying needed relief to cash-strapped Americans.

    The World Health Organization on Tuesday proposed an official name for the illness caused by the new coronavirus: COVID-19. The acronym stands for coronavirus disease 2019, as the illness was first detected toward the end of last year.

    Support Pelosi. Especially when it comes to her judgement (v. McConnell) concerning supporting our medical troops on the ground and the general public. MoscowMitch isn’t ideologically prepared to handle a crisis of this magnitude and neither is the current Republican Party. They simply do not believe in the levers that need to be pulled.

    Ok, here's a list then. Democrats have attempted to mandate the following in their efforts to monetize their agenda of authoritarian measures because a relief bill for helping the US in our medical crisis now must pass. These include, but are not limited to, requiring airlines to become carbon neutral in 5 years, requiring all businesses to hire diversity over expertise, and to require businesses to report to congress their "progress" in hiring based on racial and other categories. Democrats would require money not to be allowed to assist oil or gas companies unless they invest (read not help their payroll) in "alternative fuels development, which also requires them to hire diversity not quality".

    Democrats are the reason that we find ourselves where we are, ie, their unwillingness to allow this nation to be able to close our boarders, their unwillingness to stop the flight of manufacturing jobs overseas, and with the current bill, would incentives yet more of this, even though those expatriated jobs don't require any demonstration of diversity. etc.

    The reasons republicans want more police is simple. Democratic dependence creates and induces crime that is then perpetrated against the rest of us. What else would you have us do? Sit back and be victims? I think that's you and your teams schtick.... We have police because y'all can't control your base entitlement or produce economic viability in the pockets of poverty that your policies produce. I would remind you that Barrack only had around 33-37% support. while we're being honest here. Trump is currently sitting at about 57% if you believe the polls that frankly skew way too far left to be honest. But sure.

    When you look at "progress" and liberal Progressives in the US these days, their approach to everything is force of government to force folks into their jail of progress. There isn't every a consideration for freedoms. or rights its a march toward totalitarian authoritarianism. And yes, we can all see it clearly now.

    What lever is Nancy's proposed $500 billion dollar taxpayer-funded donation to the Endowment for the Arts going to pull?

    Explain to me how that works.

    Actually, democrat ideology says, “this is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”

    How horrible life must be that you have to wear a seat belt in order to drive a car. And horrible is it that the government, the government of we the people, should mandate that you not pollute the air we must all breathe. Oh poor baby, your life must be so horrible.

    I see a bumper sticker from time to time, “Republicans, why we can never have nice things”

    Authoritarianism requires a strong central leader and limited political freedoms for others. It should be noted that the majority of voters in the majority of congressional districts elected the Democratic representatives to congress who are now in the majority. It is kind of how democracy works. Thus the majority of people want the majority in the House to push for control on pollution. That is how Republics work. And we are a democratic republic.

    Also it should be noted that liberal hotspots tend to have the highest voter turnout. States like Oregon, Minnesota, Washington and Colorado have voter turnout rates that are twice the national average. Yet in the Bible Belt, voter suppression is widespread and voter turnout is quite low. Thus it can be seen that in blue stares there is more political freedoms than in red ones. If you and yours are prevented from voting, you have no political freedom.

    It is quite clear which side is authoritarian. Think about it the next time you bow your head in reverence to dear leader, who knows more than anyone and has all the answers, who will deliver you from the scary liberals.

    Why not. Every time an emergency bill came up during Obama’s presidency, Moscow Mitch routinely insisted on Republican pork or nothing would get done. Currently, the House Democrats hold all the cards. The worse this gets, the worse Trump and the Republicans look. Trump has already given up on leadership in this crises, causing governors to take control. Trump is like a fish, flopping around on the ground.

    Gosh... that volume of word soup today.. How about this then. Park your car. Turn off your heat/air, stop polluting the internet, you might find some happiness...Democrats are the party of authoritarianism. The use of force to inflict their stupid on the rest of us. Creating pockets of highly centralized vulnerabilities doesn't seem to be smart, just convenient for control. You dance around these glaring examples of your support for your own party's implementation of their authoritarian policies, and yet care too blind to or simply unwilling to admit that they exist? Laughable. It's sad to watch. The amount of unsupportable BS that you believe is frightening. No wonder you're looking for government to save you....

    The side that wants to mandate who is, and who isn't, allowed to work for a bank.

    THAT is the face of an authoritarian.

    I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the situation is a tad dire. Do you really think there's no reason why the "standard political procedures" might not be a good thing right now?
