NEWS — @GOPLeader KEVIN MCCARTHY told Republicans that he is opposed to the Democrats coronavirus bill, a blow to hopes for biparitsanship and perhaps a harbinger for the bill’s prospects in the GOP Senate.

The WH has made its preference clear, but this is a bad sign.

1. "How are we going to pay for it?"

Says the same people funneling our tax dollars to billionaires and the war machine. Says the people who don’t bat an eye at Trump’s excessive use of our tax dollars to take weekly vacations for himself and his family. Hypocrites!

2. IMO, if the GOP can't take 100% credit, they

don't any part of legislation.

Things are that partisan and toxic.

6. It is why they and their idiot base are fighting the response to COVID-19

WE think it is a good idea, so they have to oppose it like it is an existential threat to their very lives.

And, the media and "middle" voters in this country want to think "they are both the same ..."

3. Repugs are backing the thief of the office in his efforts to kill us

Only industry will be helped, the rest of us can die as far as they are concerned.

4. The'll bankrupt us THEN kill is...

The GOP plan all along. I am sure they are popping corks right now.

5. The House Can Pass It Without McClowny Or His Minions

Then, the Dems need a full-court press -- Pelosi, Biden, Sanders*, etc -- on GOP obstruction and ownership of every bit of damage the pandemic does to the country.


*Assuming he wants to accomplish things instead of just re-elect il Doofus. This can be an early litmus test for that.
