$2,000 relief bill passes house.

[joshcryer]

BY 2/3rds MAJORITY no less. Pelosi is amazing.

[FirstLight]

1. so is senate voting tomorrow?

I'm worried

[joshcryer]

7. We'll see what Moscow Mitch does.

He just got checkmated into a corner.

[FirstLight]

15. That's what I'm thinking...

The rethugs don't *want* to do it, but since Trump asked for it, they kinda *have* to, if they wanna stay on his good side

just get it DONE and gimme my fucking $$$$!!!!!

[joshcryer]

16. Pelosi just made a fool of Moscow Mitchy.

[yaesu]

41. I just read that even Marco Rubio is now supporting the $2k check, the fascist wall is cracking. nt

[SheltieLover]

2. Ty, Nancy & Dems!

Call shitstain's bluff! I hope this is in addition to the $600!

Moscow mitch & shitstain will be at each other over this.

[liskddksil]

9. Except the 2 turn coat Dems. One is out the door

thanks to a successful primary, the other, Kurt Schrader, deserves the same.

[marlakay]

14. I just checked his area since

I am in Oregon, he has Salem but goes across Tillamook to coast and that whole area is very conservative. He only won with 51% of vote so lots of republicans in his area.

[SheltieLover]

27. Assholes!

Glad one is out. When does Schrader come up for election again? 2 more years?

Ty for sharing.

[BigmanPigman]

3. CNN is reporting that it narrowly passed,

not 2/3.

[joshcryer]

8. It passed by exactly 2/3rd.

21 GOP abstained.

[marlakay]

10. Chicken....nt

[LanternWaste]

12. USA Today reports it passed in a 275 - 134 vote nt

[joshcryer]

13. BTW, fuck CNN for reporting it that way.

Pelosi played chicken with the chickenshits and they bluffed.

[sheshe2]

22. She is my hero.

Brava Nancy.

[SheltieLover]

28. +1,000!

[sheshe2]

43. Back at you.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. It Did

275-134.
134 nays requires 268 yeas to pass.
They got 275.
It narrowly passed because they need 2/3rds to amend.
Three more nays and it's 272-137. Doesn't pass.

[joshcryer]

23. Yes, but it would've passed anyway via simple majority.

It passed under the 2/3rd majority vote, which is a bipartisan message being sent by the House.

Pelosi said before the vote she would be bringing it to a majority vote if it didn't pass by 2/3rd. It was going to pass regardless. People need to understand though that "narrow passage" implies that it was close. It wasn't, because the Republicans voted in a bipartisan way to allow it to pass. Putting their votes on record.

[Lucinda]

4. Yes she is.

5. McConnel is on the hot-seat.

He passes it and pisses off the moderate GOP, or he votes it down and risks the wrath of Idiot-trump's tantrums.

It'll be an interesting end-game the next three weeks,

[mucifer]

32. If he passes it he keeps his majority power. I bet he allows the vote for the $2000

[LanternWaste]

35. From my seat, it's a coin flip.

The extra two grand would be nice for a LOT of people, but I have a hard time seeing McConnell allowing it to pass knowing the the tempest is gone in three weeks. But as you implied, this vote will directly influence the GA runoffs, and he can play it up.

[yaesu]

42. yep, pretty much. nt

[Cha]

6. Yes.. TY Nancy & the DEMS! Take Note

Georgia!

[SheltieLover]

29. Aloha, Cha!

[Cha]

33. Aloha, Sheltie!

[SheltieLover]

34. Hi hi

[Miigwech]

11. What I See In PELOSI ... peeoplespeakshe

[Revanchist]

17. I don't know if this is a stupid question or not because I haven't been paying attention

Is this $2,000 in addition to the $600 that what was approved in last bill or would that be $2,000 total?

[marlakay]

18. It was to raise the $600 to $2000 per person nt

[joshcryer]

19. They amended the $600 bill to say $2000.

And $1200 for families to $4000 for families.

This is a huge win. Now we have to see what Mitch does.

[LanternWaste]

21. Two thousand total. nt

[Deuxcents]

24. Madame Speaker

I can’t remember when she didn’t meet the issues with tenacity, persistence and the county’s best interest at the heart of the deal. All the whining n bellyaching about her is just grandstanding. She’s smart, tough n I’m so thankful for her.

[joshcryer]

26. She is amazing. Played chicken with the chickenshits.

And they turned.

[MichMan]

25. Why not make it $10,000 instead of $2000?

and let the Republicans in the Senate take the blame for screwing people out of all that money. Dems could say that they tried to get people $10K each, but the Repugs blocked it.

[Luciferous]

36. Because Trump brought up the 2k, so it makes it harder for the Republicans to argue against.

[zentrum]

30. Taking it to Mitch.

[joshcryer]

31. I can't wait to read the letter or see her talk about the *bipartisan* nature...

...of this vote.

[tavernier]

37. Woo Hoo!!!!!

No doubt the senate will piss on the people who are needing it most.

[tiredtoo]

38. Anyone have a link to the results? Like to see how my Representative voted. N/T

[ffr]

39. K&R

Because, if you doubted, DEMOCRATS lead!

[Dopers_Greed]

40. This is amazing

Perdue and Loeffler have to vote on this now.

Senate republicans just got spanked hard, like it came from a newspaper with Rump's face on it.
