Please stop posting this video on every thread you're on. It looks like trolling and has made me dread seeing Yang again and again and again and again.

They will try to obstruct any economic aid in the event Trump loses to tank the economy and return to power.

Tump Is Taking Down Names as Republicans Begin Jumping Ship on His ‘Totally Off the Rails’ Campaign
BLAME GAME

Aides are feeding the president clips in which GOP lawmakers throw him under the bus. He’s none too pleased.

And McConnell has decided that a deal to help the American people during this pandemic would work more in favor of Democrats, so there will be no deal. He's also apparently figured that no deal won't hurt Republicans any more than they've been hurt already.

Are making sure the scorched earth project is in full bloom so Biden fails. I think they know the election will not favor 45 so..just like Mitch did with Obama..closed the doors to progress at the country’s expense. Treason can come in different circumstances..this is one of them. IMO
