I think a stimulus deal agreement happens tomorrow (Tuesday)

[Polybius]

Call me crazy, but I think Trump/Mnuchin come to an agreement with Pelosi. I don't know the amount, but my guess is 1.9 to 2 trillion. Am I delusional?

I know it still has to get brought up and passed by Mitch's Senate, but this post is only about the potential deal with Trump and the House. We'll save that fight for after an agreement is reached.

1. On Twitter, Schumer said he was trying to shut the Senate down until after the election. Did he?

[Polybius]

3. No, it failed by a 48-42 vote

5. Darn

[Polybius]

6. And 10 Senators didn't even bother voting

Crazy right?

[catrose]

8. Really. I almost got hopeful.

2. you quit nagging on my judge and I'll give you some stimulus nt

4. A lifeline for trump with 14 days to go.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. That's what I was thinking. Trumps gets to mail out checks with his name on them

just before the election.

10. Well, they won't go out before the election.

But people need the stimulus money regardless if it helps Trump or not. People are being evicted, getting utilities cut off, etc.

11. I know, but then you could also imagine that

if Trump gets another 4 years, they're going to be in even worse shape in the long haul.

12. True but I doubt

it would carry Trump over the finish line. He might gain a point or two but Biden would still win, IMO. It doesn’t matter anyway, McConnell is not going to let a deal go through.

9. Pelosi is under pressure

Even Blitzer attacked her!

[Polybius]

15. Agree

I really need retroactive unemployment.

[Demsrule86]

21. Me too.

[Polybius]

14. Well, I still have until the end of the day

Hope I'm right.

16. trump may want it to "show off" during the debate.

[Polybius]

17. Latest rumor is that he bumped it to 1.9 trillion

I think Pelosi will agree to 2 trillion.

[dansolo]

18. The amount isn't the issue

My concern is that any deal will allow Trump and Mnuchin to empty out the Treasury with no accountability like the last deal.

[Polybius]

19. What's happening?

Are they still in talks this late?

[Bongo Prophet]

24. Ask the OP, he seems to have the insider info!

20. Mitch thinks Trump is a loser

Mitch's plan is to obstruct and create as much chaos to make democrats look bad in the event of a Trump loss.

The seats it would help Mitch with are already lost. Politically Mitch is going to tell the country to fuck itself.

22. House will not voter for Mitch's stimulus bill because it does not include checks to people.

[Polybius]

23. Not Mitch's bill

I’m talking Trump and Pelosi’s deal.

[marie999]

25. But Mitch does not want that bill. He told the WH that there should not be a stimulus

package before the election because it could cause problem with the SC nomination. He wants the SC nomination voted on before the stimulus bill. He said if the WH and the House agreed to the stimulus package he would put it for a vote but did not say when it would be voted on.
