WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday said Congress needed to approve a new coronavirus aid bill by the end of 2020 as lawmakers return to work following Tuesday's elections.

Saying he hoped that partisanship over such a stimulus bill will subside with voting for president and members of Congress over, McConnell said there was a "need to do it by the end of the year." He also noted the "possibility" that such a bill "will do more for state and local governments," a key Democratic demand.

On Oct. 30, McConnell said in an interview with conservative radio show host Hugh Hewitt that such an aid bill should be done at the beginning of 2021. McConnell, the top Republican in Congress, did not say why he was now accelerating that timetable.

"I think that's job-one when we get back, hopefully with a more cooperative situation than we had," before the election, McConnell said.

Color me skeptical as to Moscow Mitch getting anything done that's meaningful.

1. but would Trump sign it

He is vindictive and if he loses, his attitude would be screw America.

[marble falls]

2. Fuck Trump. By the end of the year, all McConnell needs to do is resolve one of the bills ...

the House has so thoughtfully sent his way that he tabled.

3. Too little too late reptile piece of shit. nt

4. My sentiments too

[Brainfodder]

5. Can we kick KY out of the union and make it fend for itself?

[Retrograde]

6. Sounds good to me

And Florida, too: do you think Spain would like it back? Or should we just let sealevel rise take its course?

[OldBaldy1701E]

17. The current legislature doesn't believe in climate change anyway

Let them ride the tide out to sea while they deny it is happening.

[jayfish]

20. No Red State Bailouts? -NT-

[whistler162]

27. Once the contents of Fort Knox are moved out we

can think about it.

7. House Agenda January 21, 2021

First up: Impeachment Hearing
January 22, 2021: Stop all Government Funding.

July 1, 2021: Impeachment Hearing
July 2, 2021: Stop all Government Funding.
November 1, 2021: Impeachment Hearing

Keep it up til November 2022 when we try to take back the Senate - if it's still here.

Might as well. Nothing will get done in the Senate except for unqualified Judicial Appointments.

Watch out 2nd Amenders. If Trump becomes fearful because of guns he might just make them illegal.

And there's always a chance the Turtle won't be around long. Sacrifice whatever to whichever deity you favor.

Oh, and we better hope that the new Blue Dogs in the Democratic Party (there were 19 of them then and we have a 19 person edge as of now- hmmm) don't try to replace Nancy AGAIN. Try to imagine these last two years with someone else!

Scotch Time!

9. Either you're saying trump will win or calling for impeachment of Joe Biden.

[hatrack]

8. Whatever, asshole . . .

[3825-87867]

10. Asshole?

51,000 posts and that makes you an expert on what others are saying or mean?
I've probably been a Democrat longer than you've been alive.
Asshole?
I was writing as a condition if trump won.
Asshole?
Let's see what those in charge of this site think of that kind of response.
What's sad is you probably never used that kind of language to anyone from the Right.
Asshole?
But then I guess we can't all be as eloquent.
Asshole?
Wow. What class!
Ass-umption is more like it.

11. I think the poster was replying to McTurtle, not the OP.

[hatrack]

12. McConnell, not you - apologies if I offended!

Thought my target was fairly obvious.

This election cycle's made me a bit . . . . sour.

[groundloop]

14. Your response was perfectly obvious, in my most humble opinion

[3825-87867]

18. No Problem

Although I've "been around", I'm new here and Bernardo, below, explained.
Please accept MY apologies.

I was in Chicago in '68. Got picked up. Spent time across the pond next couple. And have been a crazy Democratic Activist ever since.

Since I was wrong, and reacted before understanding, you have every right to call me an asshole.

Bad day at the time - but seems it may get better if Arizona and Nevada come Biden's way!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Please use your experience to realize the DU threads are tree-like. Person was NOT responding to you

Look in the upper right corner to see who the post responds to and you'll never make this mistake again.

[3825-87867]

19. Thank you sir

I now understand and apologize.

Didn't look there. Got major eye surgery coming up in 2 weeks but won't use that as an excuse. Just sloppiness on my part.

Thanks

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Turtle moves so very slowly to help people when he moves at all. Judges for the 1 percent? No Probs.

[groundloop]

16. Hey McTurtle, if you hadn't been busy cramming an illegitimate, unqualified justice down our throats

you'd have had time to work on what REALLY matters.

[benld74]

21. Take House bill, add trillions, pass it with zero nays

[C Moon]

22. This is because he is planning on passing NOTHING once Biden is in the White House.

I hope 2022 removes him from his seat, and leaves him pouting in the back somewhere.
The only thing the 2021 senate will be working on will be removing Biden from office—mark my words.

[Lanius]

23. I agree! Aside from COVID, one of the top priorities over the next two years

is to keep trying to give the Democrats the majority in the Senate. Then we'll have two years to appoint liberal justices to the federal judiciary and SC, as well as get some progressive policies passed. Mitch that PoS is going to be an obstructionist ass who will be too "worried about the national debt" to do much of anything in 2021 or 2022.

[mdbl]

25. If that happens, we need to blanket the country with crap about McConnell

and Graham and how they don't give one shit about this country.

[former9thward]

31. That was done for at least the last year.

Democrats spent approximately $200 million trying to defeat those two. Didn't work.

[mdbl]

32. gotta keep trying

[dai13sy]

24. You gotta be kidding me

He hopes that partisanship will subside - really? This from Moscow Mitch aka The Prince of Darkness. I really hate the turtle man and all of his corrupt cronies who should all be tried for crimes against America!!

[mmbrevo]

26. He doesn't want to let Biden Claim victory on getting it done.

[DLCWIdem]

28. My question is why?

My question is why what is in it for him. Is he trying to be concilatory? Trying to help the senators? Maybe he Thinks that if it comes out in by the new senate it will be higher? One thing we do know is he doesn't care for anyone so he is not doing it to help?

[DLCWIdem]

29. He just flip flopped and said stimilis wasn't necessary

[Boogiemack]

30. Still going to work hard to win GA Senate seats.

Mitch, you are untrustworthy, a liar, and a hypocrite.
