[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

D's refuse to narrow their Stimulus to 1.9T before Covid Election but have a 1.4T package for Trump to sign for Budget relief

Unemployment is gonna run of day after Xmas and no sign of Trump is gonna sign budget deal

Yeah we’re all gonna be f•••ed

I can’t not say this enough, the Republicans are demanding workers be stripped of their rights to sue over health and safety violation as a precondition to a stimulus. This should be unacceptable.
Full stop.

Also the package that McConnell is offering is nowhere near Trump’s random numbers.

Also the Treasury Secretary just put the rest of the cares act back in the bank.

This isn’t Democrats not compromising this is the GOP taking the nation hostage.

As they've been doing consistently for a decade or more. And no, it's not going to change. If Democrats and their constituencies are unhappy with the current arrangement, they can force a confrontation in which they explicitly reject the legitimacy of minority rule. Otherwise, Republicans will continue to be Republicans, McConnell will continue to be McConnell, and the country and its political system will continue to slowly decay.

This is one reason that it's unlikely big city working class voters will start voting Republican en masse.

There are many people in Food lines shortages, but will Trump sign another Budget deal and got had on the first budget deal.  The budget deal in Oct included the same numbers but he got no leverage on the Stimulus package, will he make a similar concession on another Budget deal.

Dems are just offering budgets deals but not givings nothing on the stimulus we should find out

Dems thought that sabotaging Trump's stimulus 2.0 would help them in 2020, it likely didn't, probably even backfired. Now, they think it will help them in GA run-offs. I don't know. It might backfire once more.

Remember! Trump offered $1.8 trillion Trump Stimulus, and Grim Reaper McConnell promised to bring it to the floor.

“No, I don’t care about that,” Pelosi claimed, and repeatedly accused Blitzer of being an “apologist” for Trump throughout the interview. It was a laughable charge, intended to obscure the fact that the truthful answer was yes — that’s exactly what this is all about. Struggling Americans don’t care whose name is on the check. They just need the money. But Pelosi seems to care less about getting them the help they need than stopping Trump from sharing credit for a bipartisan solution. Why else turn down multiple GOP offers for covid relief? In July, Senate Republicans offered $1.1 trillion, including $300 billion for stimulus checks to Americans, $200 billion to help small businesses, $110 billion for unemployment benefits, and $105 billion in aid to state and local governments. In September, the White House raised the offer to $1.6 trillion. In October, the president increased it further to $1.8 trillion. But Pelosi steadfastly refused, insisting on $2.2 trillion or nothing. Twice, Senate Republicans tried to pass more limited $500 billion bills, but Democrats filibustered both. Why not accept one of these offers? The only logical answer is that any stimulus would have boosted the economy before the election, and Pelosi was willing to drive the economy into a ditch to hurt Trump.

If Trump got a stimulus deal right before the election, he would have gotten the credit not Pelosi and might have been re-elected, with a Republican Senate likely already certain in that event. Plus, on the merits of the issue McConnell's demands are unacceptable.
