    We have treasonous scum leading us. They create the biggest economic disaster in my lifetime via forced lockdowns and their way of making good is a massive payout to illegals, foreign countries and the elites. These shitheads put in Covid relief for race horse owners.... RACE HORSE OWNERS. The progressive left is as enraged about this bill as I am. The only people who like it are the globalist elite. Republicans are controlled opposition. They have to be on the same team as the Democrats to put their name on this turd.

    I hereby christen this bill "The Twisting of the Knife in the Back of Small Business act". The entire Congress can go to hell.

    She lost every incumbent battle and tossup. She was supposed to gain about 18 seats and instead lost 12 I believe is the final count and now has an extremely small margin of majority. How was that a win for her?

    Additional proof that Pelosi is an idiot. They are called negotiations and she and the Dems failed miserably. Hey, but what's new, right!

    Nancy suggested 2.2T, White House countered at 1.8T, and the American people got 900B. That is half what Nancy was offered and REFUSED to accept! Which politician is the true idiot here? Let me give you a hint. She gets her hair done at closed professional salons in San Francisco.

    Because the GOP controls the Senate. Pelosi is in the House. If you think not getting a better package is "failure", then go complain to GOP Senators about their failures. They are the ones who are suddenly talking about deficits, now that they have lost control of the White House. If you want to complain about transparent, dishonest politicians sabotaging the process, look no further than the GOP Senators and their gargage human leader.

    Nancy turned it down! She refused it outright. Who cares what the Senate did. She slammed the door on the American people! Same thing Dems have been doing for decades!

    Nancy refused the 1.8T straight up. There was no negotiations. It was a political move with American lives and they have waited months. Why would Trump try to get the Senate GOP on board with something that the Speaker of the House refused!? And Trump would have gotten them on board as he has for four years! This is all on fancy Nancy!

    That's right. And it was trump who called off negotiations b/w her and Mnuchin. Trump and trump alone. then, in true Trump (conman, liar) style, he claimed to want a bigger bill. Nobody can keep his gaslighting straight.

    In a contentious interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reiterated that she is not prepared to accept the White House’s $1.8 trillion proposal for the next round of federal coronavirus aid legislation.

    You can keep saying no she did not, but here it is from the Communist News Network.

    So much revisionist history from the liberals.

    Once again, Nancy refused to negotiate and cost the American people a lot for politics! Here it is from your news network:

    Lol you’re not helping your argument for why it was rejected in may. It’s not the same, the direct payments are much smaller.

    Right, but not because of the amount. Because it was chiefly a corporate handout.

    The amount is not even relevant. When and if we find out how much Pork is in that bill that was supposed to support individuals, we'll all be livid! Ask Tulsi!

    I have a question and can’t seem to find the answer - did HR and the Senate pass the damn bill or not?

    Not even close. It gave each person $1,200, $1,000 for children, and $400 a week for unemployment back dated to September. Isn't that what is important?

    Yes
    The relief package, unveiled Monday afternoon, sped through the House and Senate in a matter of hours. The Senate cleared the package by a 92-6 vote after the House approved it by another lopsided vote, 359-53. The tallies were a bipartisan coda to months of partisanship and politicking, a logjam that broke after President-elect Joe Biden urged his party to accept a compromise with top Republicans that is smaller than many Democrats would have liked.
