    It's real simple. The Democrats are literally blackmailing the country over matters of life and death and our economic futures to get their pet political peeves and leftist groups satisfied.

    Blackmailing is correct, oops, wait, don't you mean the democrats are AfricanAmericing us to pass their pork bill. Is it still ok to use the word black anymore in a sentence? It is so hard to keep up with all the new PC rules. Regardless you should be arrested and we will work out the details of your incarceration later.

    Trump should have his staff draft a one page bill providing for the compensation of idled workers and small business owners for the duration of the economic shutdown.

    It should include a provision for a $250,000.00 electronic transfer to every Democrat Member of Congress to make up for the loss of loot they anticipate collecting while "negotiating" their own 1400 page milker bill.

    “Raising campaign money is not just about winning elections and staying in power,… the Permanent Political Class has come up with all sorts of creative ways to transfer those funds into other pockets, which can be accessed to enhance their own wealth and lifestyle. And they have carved out convenient loopholes in the law that allow lawmakers to legally convert votes into cash.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, BuyVotes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 4.

    I like it. Looks like Pelosi is making a tactical retreat...

    Pelosi Suffers Massive Political Hit – Abandons House Scheme – Announces Acceptance of Senate Bill…

    The writing was on the wall late yesterday as people started digging into the 1,400 page House proposal and exposing all of the far-left ideological efforts within it. Billions were earmarked for nonsense progressive projects and the House scheme was fraught with social engineering that had nothing to do with assisting workers and businesses.

    Even Pelosi’s own party started telling leadership they had gone way too far with the assembled list of nonsense legislation. The speaker recognized if she did not quickly make a tactical retreat her party would be crushed by exposure of the brazen politics they were attempting. The reach was so extreme, the media could not protect her.

    In an effort to save a horrid face, the speaker was forced to blitz the media alone while all other house members watched to see how she could recover. Whenever Pelosi stands alone, that’s the “tell” for the size of the political miscalculation. Pelosi announced she was abandoning plans for the 1,400 page House scheme. Now the senate work continues

    The American working class has learned that the DP is not their friend.

    "Certain popular institutions work the same way. They appear to stand for justice, defying unjust authorities; but in fact they help to keep the rulers in power. Although seeming otherwise, these institutions are thus domesticated within the hegemonic lie that the strong use to gain consent from the week."

    These are comments popping up from Democrats in Twitter...

    Dr. Karlyn Borysenko@DrKarlynB


    I have never voted for someone who was not a democrat in my life. That streak will end in November.

    I'm beyond angry about what they are doing. This is not about the well-being of workers. This is taking advantage of a crisis. It's unconscionable. I can't wait for them to lose. https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1242135206448050178 …

    What are your views on the endless list of pet projects unrelated to the virus that the Democratic House wants included in the stimulus.

    Example
    30 thousand each in student loan forgiveness.
    35 Million to the Kennedy Center
    50 Million to the Arts
    200 million to the Smithsonian
    And the list goes on and on....

    Do you approve of spending the Coronavirus Stimulus on that crap?

    I think relief for taxpayers and relief for businesses should be separate bills, but Mitch the Bitch is using the former as hostages for the latter.

    I support any measure that reminds Moscow Mitch that he is in charge of only one chamber of Congress, and needs votes from both sides of the aisle to pass anything that involves allocating funds. He needs to get used to that idea - yesterday.
