I guess I'm confused...It looks to me like the Covid Relief Bill will pass. [View all] MineralMan Mar 2021 OP

This is a touchdown by every measure. onecaliberal Mar 2021 #1

So maybe we missed the extra point after the touchdown hot2na Mar 2021 #46

Yes, we gotta keep up the pressure and keep pushing. onecaliberal Mar 2021 #70

There is no way to pressure Republicans...not one of them voted on the covid package which Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #86

I don't see the caucus is going to move on. onecaliberal Mar 2021 #90

Thanks for the pep talk! 50 Shades Of Blue Mar 2021 #2

It's absolutely better than nothing.. ananda Mar 2021 #3

It is much, much better than nothing. MineralMan Mar 2021 #5

Sorry. Agree. No offense meant. ananda Mar 2021 #53

The GOP is against it because they know it will be popular. Ocelot II Mar 2021 #4

Exactly. I will be celebrating the day Biden signs it. MineralMan Mar 2021 #6

Well a minor point. The republicans did pass a $2 trillion package a year ago. CentralMass Mar 2021 #7

They HAD to LET it pass. They were pressured by public need so much that Hortensis Mar 2021 #28

No we are not...this is a good bill. Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #81

Won't need a tie-breaker since Sullivan is gone....50-49 Nevilledog Mar 2021 #8

Thank you. betsuni Mar 2021 #9

My Pleasure. MineralMan Mar 2021 #14

Another thank you then! betsuni Mar 2021 #20

But for the Georgia runoff wins, none of this would be happening. sop Mar 2021 #10

You are exactly right. We need to make similar things happen MineralMan Mar 2021 #16

I'm sure Jaime Harrison is competent, and all, but Stacey Abrams should be head of the DNC. sop Mar 2021 #27

She's more useful where she is. The DNC chair is an administrator Ocelot II Mar 2021 #52

I am not certain Harrison is experienced enough honestly. Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #82

The Georgia miracle made it all possible. LakeArenal Mar 2021 #11

Waaaa, I only got 90% of what I wanted comradebillyboy Mar 2021 #12

It's not perfect but it will still be a great help to many mvd Mar 2021 #13

The Unemployment Benefits... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #36

Yes I know mvd Mar 2021 #74

i'm bumed $15 didn't pass and it should be brought back up as a clean bill....... Takket Mar 2021 #15

There is still much that needs to be done to correct MineralMan Mar 2021 #18

It's excellent news, isn't it? greatauntoftriplets Mar 2021 #17

Yes, Indeed It Is! MineralMan Mar 2021 #19

Yes it is. Not only great for the citizens, but will be a wonderful accomplishment for those Dems Fla Dem Mar 2021 #56

I'm so old I remember how people would say mcar Mar 2021 #21

Exactly. MineralMan Mar 2021 #23

If Dems don't get the $15 through... hurple Mar 2021 #22

You do, eh? Well, I disagree. MineralMan Mar 2021 #24

Weren't you surprised that 8 Democratic senators voted against Hortensis Mar 2021 #42

a much better explanation of $15 MW stopdiggin Mar 2021 #69

Why? Do you think Repubs are going to attack Democrats for not passing a minimum wage hike? onenote Mar 2021 #43

Maybe the poster was suggesting that wnylib Mar 2021 #72

Not at all hurple Mar 2021 #75

I don't. I think so that is nonsense. And if the left does to Biden what they did to Obama then Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #83

It is a win/win. People just like to complain incessantly about every tiny development. TwilightZone Mar 2021 #25

Well, it's far easier to focus on details you don't like than to MineralMan Mar 2021 #29

And Sinema's Display was... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #38

The important thing is it was evident. Mr.Bill Mar 2021 #59

did anybody say that? (nt) stopdiggin Mar 2021 #71

Umm... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #77

okay -- then for the record stopdiggin Mar 2021 #80

This kind of level-headed pragmatism doesn't always play well here. 11 Bravo Mar 2021 #26

Most people here actually understand that this is a good bill. MineralMan Mar 2021 #30

The Only Reason Manchin Came Though.... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #40

58 senators voted against. Manchin was NOT a swing vote on the MW, Hortensis Mar 2021 #49

If voting rights bill doesn't pass by fall, there will be no Dem "pickups" Fiendish Thingy Mar 2021 #60

The Best We Can Do with Manchin.... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #78

Incorrect. Dems and constituents can keep on the heat, forcing Manchin to choose Fiendish Thingy Mar 2021 #79

I don't agree with you. But Manchin has indicated he is not opposed to changing the filibuster Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #87

Yes, I noticed some cracks appearing in Manchin's position as well. My position on HR1 isn't unique Fiendish Thingy Mar 2021 #88

Again...That Only Happens.... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #89

How does Schumer find a work around for millions of disenfranchised voters? Fiendish Thingy Mar 2021 #91

Yeah.... LovingA2andMI Mar 2021 #92

Wrong and eight Senator votes against minimum wage...stop attacking Manchin who as always Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #84

I'm happy about it. Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #31

Whatever the income cap was would leave out some people. MineralMan Mar 2021 #32

True. Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #33

It passed. Unfortunately Sen. Sullivan had a family emergency and had to return home so VP Harris... George II Mar 2021 #34

Even better. MineralMan Mar 2021 #35

Hallelujah Joinfortmill Mar 2021 #37

Thank you. It's very nice to read a reality-based evaluation and summary. NurseJackie Mar 2021 #39

It was my pleasure. MineralMan Mar 2021 #44

It's a victory, bit not a complete victory. Happy Hoosier Mar 2021 #41

Frankly I don't remember a single major bill passed through Congress MineralMan Mar 2021 #45

I agree. Happy Hoosier Mar 2021 #50

Stop with the minimum wage. What part of it can't be done in reconciliatio do folks not understand? Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #85

What's got me scratching my head was the behavior of Sinema last evening. Texin Mar 2021 #48

She was going for drama, a la McCain. It failed. MineralMan Mar 2021 #51

Could be a good thing going forward... Jon King Mar 2021 #54

Maybe because it meant ignoring the Parlimentarian? CaptainTruth Mar 2021 #57

I think you may be correct. I seem to remember something about Texin Mar 2021 #76

Thank you Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Mar 2021 #55

We need to fight the minimum wage laws Mr.Bill Mar 2021 #58

Very well said. Maru Kitteh Mar 2021 #61

I'm beyond thrilled with this wryter2000 Mar 2021 #62

A great victory MoonlitKnight Mar 2021 #63

It's a very good thing and . . . peggysue2 Mar 2021 #64

A very good thing. It could even set the stage for more senate wins, as well. ancianita Mar 2021 #65

I certainly hope so. MineralMan Mar 2021 #67

A win is a win is a win! bottomofthehill Mar 2021 #66
