Who are these "20 GOP senators who refuse to.....

... provide another penny in stimulus to people?"

Illinois senator Dick Durbin said this this morning on Morning Joe. He said McConnell cannot get anything thru the senate because of those 20 senators who will not vote for another penny.

Those 20 must be hounded, humiliated, and shamed into having a speck of humanity and sympathy.

can stop this? Moscow Mitch must be one of the 20 then because he could kill it otherwise.

The only way a bill passes is with Democratic support. McConnell won’t be able to get a highly partisan bill through.

What a shame that the state that produced John Lewis and Jimmy Carter has sunk so low.

Let's hope he makes it. The people of Georgia have been represented by buffoons in the Senate long enough.

I kept him on the phone for about 20 minutes, grilled him on issues important to me, and he seemed competent, aware, and willing to both listen and learn. He didn't hang up disappointed.

I was so surprised. That's the first time any candidate for anything has done that.

I think they pass numbers around when they get a donation of $10 or more. Actually, I probably get the calls year-round, and don't notice them, because my US number is turned off when I'm in Europe, which is pretty much always. The only reason I picked up Jon's call is because the area code was the same as a Georgia cell phone that a friend of mine has in Atlanta, and I picked up right away after seeing just the area code.

He’s the type of weasel who would blame 20 anonymous people and not say he’s one of them.

reason presented as to why those 20 would do that. Could it have something to do with the FBI building or F 35s being included in the bill?

I'm getting confused and think we need a "clean" bill on the funding for citizens.
