1. Bet they get an earful from voters...

But will only hear gop trumpists.

[defacto7]

2. Sure. They need to count the dead first.

[True Blue American]

3. Keep them in session!

Alexander running the show now?

[CrispyQ]

4. Great. It'll probably get lost among all the other bills languishing on McConnell's desk.

What a fucker.

[Phoenix61]

5. What the ever loving fuck.

Just unbelievable. McConnell has got to go.

[Guilded Lilly]

11. Yup. And send all this Republican "brethren" with him.

[Stuart G]

6. This is a decision by McConnell and Trump..(and no one else)

Lamar Alexander is just the delivery boy who brought in the news.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Just the message Boy.

He is not up for reelection and is retiring.

[malaise]

7. Are you effing serious?

Get thee to the greatest page

[House of Roberts]

21. For this we should have a heinous page.

Not great, but certainly important.
Who knew we'd need a heinous page, until Trump?

[malaise]

22. You made me laugh

[Rhiannon12866]

44. +1000!

You can suggest that in Ask the Admins. I agree that we need one. Even in a national emergency, they remain politically partisan and petty, regardless of the potentially disastrous effects on the American people. McConnell is cut from the same evil cloth as Trump.

[Claritie Pixie]

8. Deliberate decision to kill Americans. THEY DON'T CARE.

[Historic NY]

9. Head in sand....

waiting to see if they can get more leverage

[Autumn]

10. How many people will die in that time?

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. Well they just want to tie a bow on it for a Democratic takeover of the Senate, don't they?

[spanone]

13. It's not like it's a pandemic or anything.

[MerryBlooms]

14. Unbelievable. This should be in giant letters front page every news site.

[librechik]

15. because vacation and we have no emergency crisis. These people are

worst sludgy crap on earth. I'm looking at you, Lamar Alexander! YOU should demand action!

[Alacritous Crier]

16. WHAT THE...

ACTUAL FUCK???!!

[Stuart G]

18. This is the stupidest, most inhuman, most indecent decision Trump/McConnell have ever made.

It also shows that the Republican Party doesn't give a damn. But I think that this decision will be changed as the word gets out.

[JCMach1]

19. Too fucking late

[SamKnause]

20. I wish they had a vaginal probe shoved so far up their asses they could never shit again.

I hate these despicable evil fuckers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Midnightwalk]

30. Wouldn't work

Shit flows out their mouths all the time anyway

[SamKnause]

31. Yes, but that is verbal diarrhea.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Trump-Republicons own this who crisis. Together.

[Javaman]

24. the repuke assholes are hoping this will "all blow over" by then.

pricks.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Joe will talk about it - Bernie will still be muttering

and waving his arms about the 1%.

January 20th is a lifetime from now. The destruction to our Democracy will be unimaginable by then IMO.

[leftieNanner]

42. Remember -

That WE will take over the Senate on January 3rd!!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

45. Sure hope so.

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. Stupid fuckers. God, how fucking clueless can you be.

FUCK YOU McTURTLE

[Harker]

27. Wash your hands and walk away, Mitch.

Or run.

[djacq]

28. CNN just flashed that the Senate recess is CANCELLED.

Amazing how Moscow Mitch reacts when he's caught passing the buck.

[Midnightwalk]

29. How many fetuses will die from covid and bed shortages

But let’s wait and see how badly we can overwhelm our hospitals before we get serious about doing something.

If there are no ICU beds it won’t matter why you need the bed. Everyone will be subject to whatever triage rules are followed.

The 2001 attacks created a two tier security system where first class travelers got a shorter line. I knew we were screwed when the country accepted that. I’m not complaining about precheck by the way which had a legitimate argument.

Will we wind up with a two tier ICU system? Pay 10k a day in cash and you jump the line. I think people might balk at that but who knows.

[crickets]

32. You better believe the recess was cancelled.

Now if somebody can just give them the come to Jesus talk about passing this thing.

33. No real hurry, eh?

[Hekate]

34. The HYDE AMENDMENT?!

Christ on a trailer hitch.

[smirkymonkey]

35. How reassuring.

Good to know they're on top of things.

[JT45242]

36. Every .... Senator with an (R) ads

Every extra death...
Every family that gets evicted...
Every car that gets repossessed...
Every extra day for someone in the hospital...
Every family that cannot eat because they cannot work or collect unemployment and chose medicine or rent over food...

Every one of these needs to be laid on McConnell, Ernst, and every Senator with an (R) in their screen shot.

Chuck and the Dem leadersneed a resolution calling for a vote and postponing recess so that every last one of these heartless bastards can show that they are more afraid of an angry tweet than the deaths of their constituents.

[leftieNanner]

43. Senator Murray tried to call for an immediate vote on a House bill yesterday

And Lamar shot it down.

GEEZ!

[Nasruddin]

37. The Senate is useless

Everyone in a state with an (R) running for Senate this year should know what to do.

After Nov we should take up the task of working on a constitutional amendment to follow the late John Dingell's recommendation, or something similar. I personally would like (instead) the Senate to look more like the way Germany elects the Bundestag, but there may be other ways worth considering.

[DallasNE]

38. Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned

McConnell's time to fiddle while the stock market Burns and people die. You now own it McConnell.

[Harker]

39. More likely Nero played the lyre...

while republicants play the liar.

[mdbl]

40. McConnell is such a selfish moron constitutional lawbreaker enabler

There is really nothing else for me to say about him.

[McKim]

41. Get on the phone!!!

Get on the phone and push back!!!!!!!!

[central scrutinizer]

46. Doubling time

The crisis will be twice as bad in a week. That’s how exponential growth works.
