Congressional Republicans on Thursday rejected Democrats’ initial attempt to bump up direct relief checks to $2,000 in response to President Donald Trump’s demands.
“Why didn’t the president say this before?” outgoing Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said in a radio interview Wednesday. “Why did his administration say it had to be $600? They were the ones driving this.”
Sorry Nancy, the idiot’s out swinging his club, not interested in this, but perhaps there will be 50 tweets when he returns to Mar la Gogo. Rethugs in horrible disarray.
The stakes for 14 million people are high if Trump refuses to sign or vetoes the current bill. There is not much time. Trump and Republicans are monsters.
🚨🚨🚨14 million Americans could lose unemployment benefits on December 26 if the $900bn relief package isn't finalized
9.3 million are on "PUA" (for gig workers/self employed) 4.8 million are on "PEUC" (for long-term unemployed)
This late in the game and the treason party still doesn’t understand who/what they let run free in the WH? I know they can’t feel shame, but shit, boys, it’s embarrassing.
You know, I think this is another bizarre type of quid pro quo, but this time BLOTUS is delivering the quo — namely, “you guys are giving up and accepting Biden, so screw you” on the way out the door…
And the cherry on top is him throwing red meat to his base saying, see, you should have just stuck with me, I’d have taken better care of you.
That he would be handing Nancy massive PR leverage wasn’t on his radar — he’s incapable of longer term thinking. Shooting from the hip means sometimes you get hit by the ricochet.
