1. Where's Bernie???????

[George II]

2. Probably getting ready to hop on his chartered jet to make an appearance tonight.

[BlueIdaho]

14. I'll bet he's a no show... nt.

[George II]

15. If he doesn't show, there will be "logical reasons" from his handlers, I'm sure.

[BlueIdaho]

16. They will just attack anyone asking why he's not there...

Their tactics are no different from Trumpers and the T-Baggers that came before. They are all populists and share populist tactics.

[Rebl2]

18. Maybe he

has the virus and hasn’t told anyone.

[marble falls]

21. He's still by the phone waiting for Tulsi's endorsement or Joe's concession.

[BlueIdaho]

23. I genuinely hope not.

We disagree on some not all policies - and disagree on the usefulness of him continuing to campaign

But

I would not wish this on anyone. Especially one in their 70s with heart trouble.

[Polybius]

17. Pushing for over $2,000 a month until we pull through this

Thank you Bernie.

[comradebillyboy]

19. So, another empty gesture from Vermont. Bills get

passed in DC not in Burlington.

[Polybius]

20. He's old

He should remain isolated. God-forbid he gets Covid-19.

[beachbumbob]

3. no go if pelosiisnt on board

[MineralMan]

4. Will Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT) be there?

He should be there.

[George II]

5. I'm sure he'll fly down there for a few minutes to vote. If he doesn't his campaign is over.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. wow, they are working on Sunday during a crisis......you would think it was time for a spring recess

[getagrip_already]

7. pelosi basically called it doa in the house...

She said they are too far apart.

No shite. 4 TRILLION dollars for some vague allocation to businesses impacted (it's up to munchen who gets what), and up to $3k loan for families against their 2020 tax returns (has to be paid back).

That isn't going to help the people hardest hit. It's only going to help execs and investors. Oh, and trump, I'm sure he will get billions.

[George II]

9. Yes, I saw that. They're putting together their own bill, and then they'll have to reconcile them...

Coincidentally I just paid my Federal income tax bill on Thursday morning, $3200, and the IRS has already taken it out of my checking account.

[deurbano]

8. If enough GOP senators self-quarantine, maybe they could actually get something done.

[getagrip_already]

11. paul isn't isolating himself - he was at the senate gym and pool today!

He should be locked up for such a flagrant disregard for others.

[deurbano]

13. I think he's self-isolating, now, but others (like Romney) with whom he interacted, are considering

whether they should self-isolate, too. Go for it, Republican senators!! This could finally be the one positive outcome of Rand Paul's effed up life.

[Garion_55]

10. I hope the GOP has a huge party caucus beforehand

And Rand Paul is there to officiate it and greet everybody

[scrabblequeen40]

12. but wait... must take a vacation first

LOL. Damn asshat finally got a clue.

[marble falls]

22. Unfortunately its a bail out for the 5%. You get a loan for $2,000, they get a grant.
