Yeah, the truth does hurt.
Have a nice day
The truth is in the OP. you should read it not that you will.

What do any of these have to do with a rescue bill? Nothing. And the money is held up because Democrats want to attach them because they will never pass in the Senate.
They all rescue & protect the employees. Every one. I went through them pretty carefully.
You did? Then how does
(List of 14 items)
Take your time.
:lamo
What is with you? Your attention span? Starting with the first point in this post?
You seem to have conflated my response to your quoting my reply, with your OP. Pay intention, and save us some time, will you? I'm not going to hold your hand.
Of course there's much more to it but on the surface, the MAIN features of the two packages are what they are, yes? No?
Yes of course there's a lot more stuff in there.
Know why?
Because the House passed over 400 pieces of legislation which McConnell has thrown in the round file ever since Dems took the House, that's why.
Also, the Senate plan is pretty much going to be overseen by Trump, according to his statement, VERBATIM, made yesterday. He SAID he would LITERALLY make the decisions, and with McConnell, that means the Senate will automatically approve whatever Trump tells them to approve.
How about that five hundred billion dollar slush fund!! :lamo
That's like Ferdinand Marcos backing up the BRINK'S truck to the Bank of Manila just before taking off outta there.
You guys just keep whining, it's going to look real good soon.
Democrats were not on the Hill today. Pelosi sent them home to let Republicans stew over their proposal. Not One Democrat showed up at the house to defend their list of demands before any American's see a dime of the stimulus money.

13. Special rules for Min. funding for community newspaper plans
14. Required board diversity for all corporations who use bailout money
This is your Democrat party. They refuse to come to the House to defend any of it but refuse to sign the bill without it. They have offered a put up or shut up deal.
While American's drowned in their own fluids, the economy has come to a stop, People are locked up in their homes, Businesses are disappearing, and a national quarantine is being issued, Pelosi has sent her house members home and while holding American's hostage.
They don't care about your family members dying
They don't care about your financial means
They don't care about the economy crashing
They want their green new deal and are willing to kill you for it.
These are the bills that can't pass on their own and Democrats are demanding they be included if we want money to rescue our fellow American's in their most dyer time.

Thread: Democrats Allowing American's to Die If They Don't Get Their Way
Nobody I know of called the Corona Virus a hoax.
It has nothing to do with Trump. Making this out to be the apocalypse of our time is irresponsible and dangerous. We have other viruses in this country that have much higher death rates and we don't act like we are under attack. So why are we doing it with Corona? Political hysteria.
Watching these idiotic governors calling for a state of emergency. Over what? I am glad to see the left continue to try and burn down the economy over nothing. They all pretend we have an Ebola epidemic. Fake news and fake claims.
The hysteria is being provided by fake news and fake claims. What viruses is Corona worse than?
What the hell does any of that radical left wing nonsense have to do with helping control the virus, or helping the average person that has been told to stay home.Democrats were not on the Hill today. Pelosi sent them home to let Republicans stew over their proposal. Not One Democrat showed up at the house to defend their list of demands before any American's see a dime of the stimulus money.

These are the words YOU said:
You called the whole thing fake news with fake claims and no different than any other virus. It's right there. You said it. Can't go back and edit it. My whole commentary to you last week was about how this virus is different and deserves to be taken seriously. You on other hand, disagreed with Pence and the doctor, who worked for five different Presidents.
What has presented to you over and over again, is that Democrats have a different proposal and one that's not a big giveaway to the corporations. I am not here to agree or disagree with either proposal, just pointing out that you engaged in misrepresentation and partisanship attacks.
Look at the Trumpist raping tragedies to attack the left. As always, the ugliness is the point. Maybe Trump shouldn't have tried getting a 500 billion dollar slush fund so Mnunchin can send money to his businesses.
And look at the Usual Suspects, who show up to "like" every ugly post directed at the left: "trixare4kids, dobieg, TurtleDude, Sabre, Individual, Hypothetical, marke liked this post
These are all excellent tools to help our country during this health and economic crisis. Some of them help protect against this crisis should it fade and then return.
Hat's off top Pelosi for taking things seriously and not just using the crisis to create a slush fund for cronies.
I said the political hysteria is the hoax, not the virus. Try again
Instead of just regurgitating Pelosi's bulls**t, why don't you show us this big giveaway for corporations in the bill. I showed you the Democrat's. Or do you just parrot the idiocy of the left.
You said it was no different than any other virus, and referred to governors as "idiots". What hysteria were you referring to?
I am simply pointing out reality. You continue to play partisanship games and downplay the seriousness of the situation. I can't help you sir, when we live in different realities.
So you can't show us this big giveaway for corporations in the bill. You're just going to parrot anything you're told by Pelosi and Schumer without a single reference to anything in the bill.
You do live in a different reality alright.
You didn't even bother to respond what "hysteria" was being displayed.
I said political hysteria
So I answered your question, now answer mine.
Where is this 500 billion dollar slush fund for corporations in the bill as you claimed.
Yeah, we all heard that but nobody was ever able to post or find such language in the Bill. Just Pelosi's BS speech.
I posted the actual language Democrats are demanding. If you have information about Republicans putting corporate interest ahead of the American people, you would have posted it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the GOP bill have as part of their version $500billion or so for businesses, which distribution to which businesses would remain secret for 5-6 months? As to republicans favoring corporations, trickle down is their general view of things. If that helps everyone, fine; if not, that's ok too.
I was the reason Pelosi and Schumer were giving to the media as to why the bill was stalled. Nobody has provided such language and Pelosi and Schumer didn't bother to tell anyone what they provided in the bill.
So the 14 items I listed that Pelosi added to the bill don't exist? They have nothing to do with anything?
Increased fuel emission standards for airlines
Same-day voter registration
Preserving collective bargaining powers for unions
The expansion of wind and solar tax credits
Requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data
Post Office Bailout
Automatic extension of nonimmigrant visas
Restricting colleges from providing information about citizenship status
Money for Planned Parenthood
Expansion of use of Minority Banks and Credit Unions
Prohibit stock buybacks & dividends for anyone accepting bailout money
Special rules for Min. funding for community newspaper plans
Required board diversity for all corporations who use bailout money
I have been listening to Republicans on the floor pissed off about these additions. Guess who isn't on the floor to discuss anything.
A single Democrat.
As I have stated before, I have no opinion on the matter. My point is that you engaged in partisanship and never comprehended that Pelosi and the Democrats do not want people to die. They wanted a different bill. I don't know how many times I have to make this point. I can't go further with you, if you fundamentally think the right is right and the left is evil, which is the fundamental problem with your posts around here.
I understand your point and maybe I could have used some language that was more clear about my opinion. I am not here trying to bolster support for Trump. I am angry about the continuing propaganda from the left and I see nothing any different than I have seen in the last 4 years from the left.
I voted for Obama in his first term.
Yes, I am completely partisan on just about every issue.
They have done the same thing with Corona.
Good at least we're making some progress. You maybe correct that the GOP plan is better for our economy than the DNC plan. But the reality here is nobody is evil here. They just see things differently.
I think it would be best if everybody got something they wanted and we can avoid a recession and our mutual funds going down the drain for good. When you accuse others of wanting to die, you lend yourself to being criticized for being partisan hack.
My conversation before was all about taking the virus seriously and listening to what Pence and doctors are saying. When you responded to my posts, you kept on arguing about "fake news" and "hysteria". My impression was you didn't care about what was happening. I care. My family has a serious of health problems and treat every health crisis serious and take what the experts say as accurate. I don't want anybody to die..period.
People in our country have every right in the world to criticize the powers that be on their handling of the situation. President Trump started off by downplaying everything. When the experts said 3%, he said less than 1%..based on a "hunch". Based on everything I hear from you, it sounds like you're a cheerleader for Trump.
I didn't vote for Obama in either election. I used to be a conservative Republican, but after getting to know people who are gay, lesbian, and transgender AND seeing the GOP embracing Trump, a man who is extraordinary ignorant and engages in mean-spirited attacks, I had enough of the GOP.
Partisans see the world in black-and-white, one side is good, the other side is bad. Going independent makes me see the world differently. I freely see the B.S on both sides of the aisle and I can look at things from an objective view.
Sorry your feelings were hurt, but Trump did botch the operation. People have every right to call people out for not living up to expectation.
You all sent those PARTISAN bills to the senate knowing they wouldn't pass and you all did it purposely just so Trump couldn't get credit for it. Nice try b*stards!!!! You all aren't fooling anyone.Of course there's much more to it but on the surface, the MAIN features of the two packages are what they are, yes? No?
Yes of course there's a lot more stuff in there.
Know why?
Because the House passed over 400 pieces of legislation which McConnell has thrown in the round file ever since Dems took the House, that's why.
Also, the Senate plan is pretty much going to be overseen by Trump, according to his statement, VERBATIM, made yesterday. He SAID he would LITERALLY make the decisions, and with McConnell, that means the Senate will automatically approve whatever Trump tells them to approve.
How about that five hundred billion dollar slush fund!! :lamo
That's like Ferdinand Marcos backing up the BRINK'S truck to the Bank of Manila just before taking off outta there.
You guys just keep whining, it's going to look real good soon.
When Trump is reelected, it will be you people doing the whining and it will be glorious.Of course there's much more to it but on the surface, the MAIN features of the two packages are what they are, yes? No?
