I have some atmospheric exposure to some RW media, and this is the new go-to line. They repeat that term over and over.

9. Red states should not accept any of the bailout money, they need to be true to their ideals

3. Maybe Democrats should start with Blue-state-only funding and make the GOP go on record

... about their own funding needs. They keep taking the money and then lying to their voters about it.

Justice matters.

Doesn't blue state money go to them all year because they have it set up so they can't support themselves?

amount to about $46 billion per year...What a bunch of hypocrites these republicans are. Are they born that way, no of course not, they are brought up that way, most of them, I am sure there are some bad sheep in some families.

figures, straight up gaslighting. Nancy and Congress were working on the second round of PPP last April, Mnuchin was who she had to negotiate with, clear through fall. They had no intention of doing what every other civilized country fighting Covid did, ease the suffering of the hardest hit. They do love them some trickle down. Pretty damn instructive that she and her caucus were so concerned about the suffering of those worse afflicted that not one of them voted for relief.
