    Lol, what a **** tweet.

    there's a passed bill that has been sitting on Moscow Mitch's desk since May. All the Republicans need to do is put it to a vote. It's far more generous than anything Trump or Mnuchin is talking about.

    How many bills does Nancy need to pass to do the right thing here, obviously the answer is more than one...to you?

    More importantly why is it incumbent upon her to pass multiple bills when Mitch doesn't even have to send them to Committee

    Why should we normalize and ignore the malice of the GOP? I submit we should not. And to answer your question, here's the thread for this

    https://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.ph...pse-and-human-suffering.306659/#post-13064253

    I ask you the same question - why do Republicans need Nancy Pelosi to continuously bail them out of the business of governing and save them from themselves? Maybe they should get the **** out of the way?

    There has been a bill on McConnell's desk for 5 months. Pelosi and Mnuchin continued to negotiate and the house compromised. Trump then said to stop negotiating.

    You may not like some of the stuff in the house bill, but it's not their fault a stimulus isn't ready. If the original bill is so bad, just have the senate vote on it and move on.

    But then again, McConnell just admitted on live TV that HE is the reason Obama wasn't able to get a number of judges confirmed. Yep... blame Pelosi. Change the channel off Fox and OANN.

    We aren't ignoring or normalizing anything the GOP is doing. Im saying Pelosi is using people's lives as a political football. You aren't going to get a perfect bill and you know (hopefully when Trump is voted out office) he isn't going to pass anything as a lame duck. Trump knows not passing anything is killing him in the polls. That's why he came back to the table after he stupidly said he wasn't going to negotiate anymore. Now is probably the only opportunity to give people relief.

    It's not perfect, but it's something. Nobody will reward the republican's for passing this bill. So what if the other bill is better.

    It's incumbent on Pelosi to try as many times as possible because, like she said, she represent the people.

    Lol, it's incumbent on Pelosi to try and succeed as many times as possible, but it's not incumbent on Moscow Mitch to even try once?

    He hasn't even participated in any negotiations. Answer my question. Why does he need Nancy to hold his pecker and get his conference in line. He's the Senate majority leader! This is embarrassing!

    The answer is he's blowing up negotiations on purpose cause hes ****er, just like he's blocking the already passed bill.

    I'm getting really tired of Democrats throwing their hands up and saying there is nothing they can do all the time. Fight for every inch like the republicans do.

    This is why democrats are always losing. They keep thinking this stuff is fair. Mitch is a better politician than Pelosi. The amount of stuff he gets done is maddening. Yes, Pelosi should keep trying.

    I am far from being a Pelosi fan, but you seem to be missing the facts that

    - the house passed a bill in May
    - McConnell has refused to put in to a vote
    - Pelosi negotiated with Mnuchin since McConnell wouldn’t negotiate nor would he call the Senate back into session
    - Pelosi cut over 1 trillion out of the bill while continuing to negotiate
    - Trump said to stop negotiating
    - Pelosi CONTINUES TO TRY TO WORK with Mnuchin

    How is this on Pelosi?

    and this is why Moscow Mitch is about to lose control of a body that naturally tilts +5 to him and you're about to get blue waved.

    When elected to govern, you have to govern. That means more than just taking the courts hostage and passing tax cuts for the super rich

    You will pay the price for this in 3 weeks. Sadly it's not commensurate with the scale of harm you did and continue to do.

    But you need to disabuse yourself of the notion that an octogenarian grandmother is going to do any more for you than she already did. She gave you an out. Of course, by now it's too late to have any electoral benefit for you, but you can still do the right thing.

    You made your **** sandwich. In 3 weeks you will eat it. And hopefully you will eat more and more after. And it is really no less than you deserve, if anything you are getting off too easy.

    Jesus Christ, even Democrats hate Pelosi. Dudes, mostly, I'm sure.

    Maybe I'm in the minority. 80 year-old woman has to hold back the tide with a broom.

    Dude you are reaching on this one. Mitch hasn't even tried to negotiate. Come on now, the info is out there.

    The Republicans passed one ****ing bill and they didn't even agree on it! Lol.

    Even when the Trump administration presented the $1.6T bill, Mitch pretty much said it would get shot down in the Senate. Of course, Pelosi didn't agree with it either, but once again Pelosi and Mnuchin have been constantly talking for the past few weeks, why should Mitch get a pass? You are focusing your energy on the wrong person.

    Cons love feeding on low info "common sense pragmatism". What they "get done" has been 80% (generous) messaging.

    Don just approved!

    So it looks like it's in Pelosi's court now!!

    Don't fumble at the 10 yd line Nancy!!!

    The American people need that dub ASAP!!!!!

    Pelosi needs to be replaced. Tired of her excuses. I know she's sitting well with her salary in that office -- all of these guys are regardless in the House. Put a few of them from both sides out on the street with no money for housing and food and lets see how quickly this **** gets done.

    I get what you’re saying and I think Pelosi should accept the $1.8 billion offer. That said McConnell and other GOP Senators are saying they won’t accept that. At this point it is very much kn McConnell and the Senate as if Pelosi agrees there is no guarantee they are on board.

    Filed lawsuit in an appeals court in Houston. They're boned, Houston is run by Democrats. They're just mad that Harris County slipped the drive thru voting through without them realizing.

    Funny how the GOP is now trying to undermine democracy and its totally normal.

    The GOP has been doing voter suppression so often and now so out in the open that the public and the mass media doesn't think too much of it. It's probably a huge shock to anyone from any other modern democratic country.

    hopefully that will change with the public moving forward

    a lot more people are much more invested in this year’s election than in year’s past, so with such blatant voter suppression like what they tried with the post office and with 1 drop location in a place like Harris County during this Covid pandemic, hopefully more people are opening their eyes to what’s really been going on

    the audacity to do what they did by reducing drop locations from 12 to just 1...it’s like the refs coming out and straight up admitting pre-game that they’ll be rigging

    Prob expecting Dems to cave in or "be the responsible party".

    Dem branding has been like that for a long time..
