    Why did the dems bill include non-COVID related stuff?

    How would passing relief not benefit Trump? And if they don't want relief, then why in the hell did they even propose a relief bill?

    And so what do the dems hope to achieve while relief is held up? Do they expect that the Republicans will eventually do what they want? Republicans are in charge of the Sentate. Isn't the Senate the higher authority? If the dems were in control of the Senate, and Republicans had rejected something as important as a relief bill, I'd be criticising them for not simply going along with the demands of those in charge.

    No. The House deals with money.
    They expect Mitch to negotiate in good faith, so they will just wait and blame him for being a cheapskate.

    The bill which pays people more by not working than working? The bill which contains thousand things which are completely unrelated to COVID? Yeah, I'm sure that it would have passed easily! :roflol:

    The bastards want to give a fraction to corona relief, and tons to their unrelated, agenda.

    The Senate is the higher legislative authority though, right? Perhaps the 'ultimate' legislative authority.

    What the hell would I even search for? Besides, it's your claim.

    1) yes that was done for political purposes
    2) because Senators can be asked without voting
