Mitch McConnell just adjourned the Senate until November 9, ending the prospect of additional coronavirus relief until after the election

No, it's on the House, which was happy to waste time - but unwilling to negotiate a relief bill.

They gave mitch the bill. All he had to do was sign off and send it to trump and people get help.


Deny that

 

[rahl]

Sigh. Please see above.

Saw it. The facts remain. Your post was demonstrably false. The house passed 2 relief bills. The second one reduced spending by 1/3 as a compromise for republicans. The senate refused to take the bill to committee. This has nothing at all to do with pelosi. It is entirely on McConnell, and it will cost
You the senate and likely the white house as well.

Demonstrably false. The house passed 2 relief bills. The senate could have and should have taken them to committee, passed their own version to send back to the house. Instead they ignored the issue completely. There is nothing at all the house can do. They’ve already done their job.

 

[dcsports]

You have no case while 1 man prevents 99 other Senators from even discussing the bills because the Republicans have no spine and won’t dare be identified by name on public record opposing relief for the American people. And Moscow Mitch is on record saying he doesn’t want negotiations.

McConnell doesn't prevent senators from discussing bills. Where did you come up with that notion?

They were negotiating. It amazes me how the left often captures a quote from a moment in time and applies it out of context for years.

He can refuse to allow a vote on Bill's. Which he did.

The house passed two show bills that were a waste of time and electrons. That's not negotiating.

Again, Congress and the administration were in discussions.

And mitch passes the bill.and trump signs ot and people get help


They refused

Yes. Which we covered. They weren't serious bills, and were a waste of time. Their only purpose was to convince people who aren't paying attention that 'The HOUSE WAS DOING SOMETHING!!!!' instead of obstructing the process. It appears to have worked well

That is your opinion....certainly not a fact. The fact is if they were passed lots of people would have gotten help.


Deny that

People get help, along with a few trillion dollars of spending on the Democrat wish list, laws that have nothing to do with Covid-19, and we pile on more debt. Democrats are using people as hostages.

Nancy could have worked things out months ago by engaging in good faith negotiations. Instead, she insisted on "My way or the highway". Well, that's what she got: The highway.

Go home, Nancy...and don't steal from the taxpayers to get there. Drive back to California instead of flying in Air Force planes.

‘This is the problem. Right wingers do not exist in the same reality as the rest of us. They get told completely the opposite of the truth, and they buy it every time.

It's a fact. It worked.

Why do you think Democrats tied help for people to trillions in spending that had nothing to do with helping people?

Mitch McConnell just adjourned the Senate until November 9, ending the prospect of additional coronavirus relief until after the election

The Senate's last order of business was confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, capping a contentious nominations process.

www.businessinsider.com

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday motioned for the Senate to adjourn until November 9.
...
The move shuts down the Senate from doing any legislative business, including reaching a deal on additional coronavirus aid, until after voters have cast their ballots, and comes on the heels of Monday's 52-48 vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the US Supreme Court.
...
Republicans had instead insisted that a "skinny" bill of $500 billion would be enough, but their proposal omitted aid to states as well as $1,200 direct payments to taxpayers, both key Democratic priorities, and the Democrats ultimately tanked the measure last week. "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Trump said, "Go big or go home." I guess McConnell just told him and the rest of their voting base to go home.

I hope the voters see what their priorities were -- hypocritically shove a SCJ in during the last weeks and forget about struggling taxpayer relief.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” McConnell said in a statement released after Scalia’s death. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president." February 13, 2016

Pelosi took the House on recess a month ago. So.....

Yeah but mostly people getting help. It would be a massive boost to the economy when we really need it. Help for the airlines too.

But mitch and trump refuse to sign off


It's on them

And the GOP Kept making utterly absurd demands.

your opinion of the bill is meaningless. The facts remain the same. House passed 2 relief bills. The second bill had reduced spending by 1/3 as a compromise.

The administration doesn’t draft legislation. Congress does. The house passed 2 bills. The senate should have taken to committee and amended them, and sent them back to the house. This is 6th grade level civics here. This has nothing at all to do with pelosi and is entirely on McConnell. This is just reality.

Last I checked, Pelosi is in the House.....you cultists will look anywhere for victimhood, won't you?

It all has to do with helping people. All of it.

But trump and mitch play politics

 

[dcsports]

Yes. Like focus on helping people and don't include non-covid things. Very unreasonable.

So then the people get nothing.

Very spiteful

Ok what exact part did you personally have the biggest problem with?

 

[dcsports]

I agree - Democrats are extremely spiteful. Pelosi would rather see people get nothing than to give the president anything that could be perceived as a victory.

The price tag.

We can play this game if you like.

Bottom line....the senate has a bill that can help millions of Americans during a pandemic....and they CHOOSE to not sign it
