CNN: "What you can expect to receive from the Senate stimulus bill"

Nothing! You can expect to receive zip, nada, bupkis, because the asshole republicans are trying to stall it out of existence.



(The above headline is currently on CNN's front page. Here's a link to the story.)

On edit: Yes, I know it's going to pass anyway. I'm just pissed that the GQP is inexplicably opposing such a popular bill when people are days away from losing their unemployment relief.

made of the economy this past year (up until January 20th), with their lying and inaction on the historic worldwide Covid pandemic.

finished reading the bill overnight so a Dem Senator (Hollen maybe?) was able to propose a 3 hour debate time from 9-12 today un-opposed.

Yeah, they can try to stall, but it’s gonna get passed. They don’t have the votes to kill it.
