Yep, the Senate wants to write it’s own legislation which would be limited to Tax Cuts for the highest 1%. A sure fire way to limit the scope of this virus.
And, Mr. Moneybags Mnuchin saying they’re close to hammering out a deal. There should be no hammering involved, get a clue. What are other countries doing? What is a practical solution for the most people? Sorry, I know you don’t get it.

All Nancy has to do is capitulate to all of the administrations demands and declare Donnie Dumbass king for life.
Other than that, they are close to a deal.

defeated the Administration’s effort to impose burdensome income testing.”
Just using the word “defeated” will almost certainly cause Trump to bounce this, right? He has never, and can never, lose to anyone, esp. a woman.
The pride McConnell has taken in killing Congress’ ability to accomplish anything should be made into a noose and looped around his wattles. Our inability to govern is coming home to roost in the biggest way I could have ever imagined.

Well, the Democrats want to save lives and keep the economy running. The Republicans want to goose the stock markets, bail out Big Petroleum, and get tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy, maybe even put a shiv into Social Security and Medicare. They will never arrive at a compromise bill - er, “DEAL”. I guess that’s the politically correct term these days.
Oh yeah, and the so-called “president” also has to sign it.

Even if over 80% of those who contract coronavirus suffer only mild symptoms, they need direction and support, and you need measures to keep them from infecting others. Finland, which is now approaching Singapore in terms of the number of cases (no deaths yet), actually has dusted off its martial law statute. The young prime minister was unfamiliar with it, but it turns out it is available in health emergencies.

You know how you think of a great line after an argument and wish you had the chance to say it? That’s what this is. He wants to share his latest musings on how he didn’t screw this up and somehow Obama and the Democrats are to blame.

Someone in Vegas has to be taking bets on the size of the one-day DJIA rally following the announcement that Trump has tested positive for COVID-19.

Just coming in from local grocery store and had my mind totally blewn,going down aisles I usually do picking
up items I use,and not noticing people in line in the aisle at first glance it looked like they were shopping,turns out they were in line trying to get the cashiers and the line was snaking through out the store,totally unreal.I actually left my cart,with some things in it.And when I got outside it hit me now I understood why there were no carts out front of the store.

My exact thought - he wants to declare an emergency and in the process spread the lies about Obama’s reaction to swine flu. I would bet money on it if I had any left.
