1. Hope thats a viable way to go

2. drumpf can pull himself up by his bootstraps. he's a billionaire, right?

[leftieNanner]

3. If you're talking about how much debt he has...

Then you are correct.

But with that gut of his, I doubt he can bend over to reach his "boot straps".

[leftieNanner]

4. Actually,

I think if he did the bail out that the Democrats are proposing, without the fat cat tax, I think that would serve him well. But he's too stupid and greedy to understand that. And Steve Mnuchin won't explain it to him. He has some markers to pay off too.

5. Dangerous. I can see the ads the Republicans would run:

"We wanted to give you $ but the Democrats voted no."

And people need that cash now. They're counting on it.

6. doesn't that ever get old?

it's a standard Republican ploy to pass the most egregious laws on the planet.

11. I'm tired of worrying that the Retrumplicans are going to be mean to us

Dems could give them everything they want, and they would still run ads saying the exact same thing.

We'd better be nice to them or they might do something extreme like give a fucking presidential medal of freedom to a drug addled, pedophilic, racist purveyor of hate on the House floor.

We seem to forget that Dems have ads too.

Besides, you give that corrupt dipshit Mnuchin a $450B slush fund to dole out as he sees fit...secretly...AND give 90% of the funds to rich pricks... well then....the Democratic Party would be dead anyway.

I personally would help kill it.

7. Can't the senate vote for whatever they want? THey have the majority.

8. Need 60 votes to pass...47 Democrats said NO

[Amaryllis]

9. How is it this needs 60 and in the past, with something requiring 60, Turtle just changed

the rules to majority?

10. Any stimulus bill needs 60 yes

‘That means that the 53-47 GOP majority is now reduced to 48-47. A stimulus bill will need 60 votes to pass in the Senate, meaning it will have to have substantial bipartisan support to get to 60, but the diminishing vote strength of the majority is on the minds of Republicans negotiating with Democrats to approve this must-pass bill.
Two senators introduced a bipartisan resolution on Thursday to amend the rules to allow senators to vote remotely during a national crisis, but McConnell has consistently opposed such a measure.’

13. Wonder why Turtle opposes remote voting when it seems it would be to his advantage.

[Alea]

12. Checks have been dangled in front of people needing the money

Whichever sides gets in the way of that will pay a huge price. I hope it's not us.
