Pelosi: Covid Legislation Is First Step, More Needs To Be Done - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

After months of stalemate, Congress reached a $900 billion Covid-19 relief package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained why negotiations took longer than planned and said, ”I am proud of the legislation. It’s a first step. We need to do more.”

1. Big thanks to Dems!

I wonder what the incentive was for Repukes, i.e., how much they will be able to steal.

Ty for sharing, Rhiannon.

3. I give Nancy Pelosi a whole lot of credit, but you're right, the Republicans must have a motive

My guess is that it's a big compromise, that the Democrats see this as just a beginning. *sigh*

[SheltieLover]

5. Yes, but what did they compromise?

Definitely something far more substantial than the 3 martini lunch write off.

7. Giving less to the people is always job #1 with Republicans

How these unhelpful morans keep getting reelected is a mystery to me!

12. Very true

Amazing, isn't it, that working people vote for repukes.

11. I'm all in favor of compromise and finding common ground. That's how we make progress...

I'm all in favor of compromise and finding common ground. That's how we make progress when our mutual interests are met somewhere in the middle.

Definitely something far more substantial than the 3 martini lunch write off.

We should all trust Nancy Pelosi and our Democratic party leadership to make the right decisions. I know that I do.

13. I do trust Nancy & Dens

It is repukes that are untrustworthy, as evidenced by their unethical ehavior related to the 1st stimulus funding bill.

2. Not Going To Happen Without The Senate

The Democrats won't get a single thing past Turtle unless they can get to 50 Senators.

4. Mitt Romney has been pretty outspoken lately, I'm wondering what the chances are with him?

That he could pull a John McCain and emerge as a hero.

[SheltieLover]

6. He is still a repuke at heart, sadly

Mr. 47%.

Although he has definitely been in pre-campaign mode.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. With all the defeats that Trump's been experiencing, I was hoping he'd woken up

And stopped backing a loser. He has spoken up lately, so he's the only possibility I could think of until we hopefully manage to change the majority in a couple of weeks. *fingers crossed*

[SheltieLover]

9. You are correct, of course 👍

I just cannot imagine independent thought or action in a goose stepper.

Fingers xd for the senate! 🤞🤞🤞

[Rhiannon12866]

10. That would just be so incredibly awesome!

And we could stop holding our collective breath! Looking at those races realistically, I can't imagine anyone voting for the Republicans since they have completely gone off the rails, but then I couldn't imagine anyone at all voting for Donald Trump! I'm counting on Stacey Abrams to turn out the vote! She is positively amazing!
