MISERY PARTY: Senate Democrats block GOP COVID-19 bill that included unemployment relief

The Democrats are working furiously to impose the pain and misery on the American people in their sadistic, cruel pursuit of power. They will lie, steal, cheat and murder to defeat Trump.

Senate Democrats block GOP COVID-19 bill that included unemployment relief

By Steven Nelson, NY Post, September 10, 2020 |

Story continues below advertisement

Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a coronavirus stimulus bill that included funds for people left unemployed by the pandemic.

In a party-line vote, Democrats withheld the 60 votes needed to consider the bill, continuing months-long gridlock ahead of Election Day. Republican leaders said the bill included widely supported bipartisan ideas, but Democrats argued it didn’t do enough.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said it was “a rather pointless vote on the latest highly partisan Republican emaciated COVID relief bill.”

But Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) argued that “some money is better than no money.”

The bill proposed a $300 weekly unemployment subsidy, $105 billion for schools, $20 billion for farmers, $10 billion for the US Postal Service and $10 billion for childcare assistance.

It included $47 billion for vaccines and testing and $258 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, which gives small businesses forgivable loans for retaining staff who aren’t needed due to reduced demand.

The rejected bill also would have given businesses liability protection except in cases of gross negligence and misconduct. Schumer called the liability protection a “poison pill.”

The bill did not include another round of $1,200 stimulus checks to most Americans, which both sides and President Trump support.

The failure of the bill creates new turbulence for the unemployed. Democrats want to renew a $600 weekly supplement that expired in July. Trump in August signed an executive order allowing a $400 weekly boost if states chip in $100, but those funds are almost exhausted.

The jobless rate fell to 8.4 percent in August, down from 10.2 percent in July.

Other Trump executive orders issued last month restored a federal ban on evictions, proposed a temporary payroll tax cut and extended deferral of college loan payments.

Republicans strongly oppose Democrats’ proposal to send nearly $1 trillion in aid to state and local governments. House Democrats in May passed a $3 trillion relief bill that contained state aid, as well as funds for renters and hazard pay for health workers.

Thune voiced growing reluctance among fiscal conservatives, pointing out the US national debt ballooned this year because of other relief bills. He said that “if we grow our debt enough, what happened to the Greek economy could happen here.”

Republicans introduced a $1 trillion relief proposal in July. The “skinny” bill that failed cost about half as much. Democrats last month said they would be willing to pass a bill costing about $2 trillion, or $1 billion less than their original proposal.

DEMS are the party of NO unless it inflicts death, pain and misery.

If he can, Trump will need to take EO action on this.

FINALLY this is getting more attention too.

It’s not the first time. The entire Obama Common Core curriculum is like that and it has only gotten worse with Trump becoming President. It’s now integrating LBGTQ+ through out it’s entire curriculum too! Only DeSatis is taking action to really change it and not just rebrand it. Other GOP governors and DEM governors do nothing. It’s NOT about money, it’s about the SUBSTANCE and indoctrination in the curriculum – that is what has to change or you will have more brain dead Bernie people.

An image of hiding Biden’s true campaign ad: vote for (demented figure-head) Biden, of decrepit Radical Left-consumed Demon-crat Party. Fear-inducing destructive riots and terror-inflicting intimidation, are gang-like brutal way.

VIOLENCE is are stock-and-trade.

As much as I detest S.F. Evita Pelosi, N.Y. creepy Schumer runs a close second.

An “emaciated” political figure. The ghost of the old decrepit—evil—Democrat Party. The creep follows crypt-emerged Madam Pelosi, riding her designer coat-tails, like a fossil pet poodle. Spineless worm of a man, a “poison” dwarf, who will bow to the writhing hate-filled mob like craven unprincipled PARTY creature of gelatinous expediency.

Slithering in the treacherous ranks of the ancient democrat leadership, stagnant in aged corruption (like hiding Biden), without human concern for the average descent, law-abiding and tax paying citizen (harried and besieged in Democrat rabble-occupied zones). A do-nothing politician, who only comes out of Pelosi’s office closet to criticize and complain—falsely and deceitfully. Useless noisy hollow statue, creeping through the Capital.

He needs to be KNOCKED-OFF his pedestal, along with the other useless cold pompous figures of misrule!

When revolution waxes hot, those octogenarians tomb-dwellers, bent on ideological mischief, are the first who should be HANGED!

The ‘R’ word (Recovery) is the curse word that threatens everything that the now-socialist left holds dear. The people have to be pretty miserable before they will have anything to do with continuing that failed socialist experiment. The more we recover, the less bully intimidation the socialist leaders have to offer to anybody.

DEMOCRATS have a tradition that goes back over centuries !

They have been brought up for generations to deceive, to lie, to take advantage of, and to destroy by all means what stands in their way.
Humanity is pretended, fairness means weakness for these monsters, truth is stupidity, seriousness becomes a mask, and loyalty and common sense a waste of time.

The only thing a Democrat respects and fears is sheer power, its consistent application, and getting disempowered forever.
Everyone who is in the sphere of influence of DEMOCRATS lives in a dictatorship – as small or as large as it may be.
It is completely pointless to curse or insult a DEMOCRAT – these villains are used to that.
But since DEMOCRATS are cowardly and dishonorable exploiters who do not get their own hands dirty, their claims are carried out by paid mercenaries and corrupt civil servants in CIA, DOJ, FBI, NSA etc. – human lives do not matter.
ERASE these mercenaries and “civil servants”, and the diabolical DEMOCRATS network tears apart and their power crumbles.
Thus DEMOCRAT manipulators can be arrested, sentenced and locked up forever.

LET’S TAKE IT UP – LET’S TAKE OFF THE ARMIES OF THE DEMOCRATS !
ERASE ANTIFA – BLM and all the other CRIMINALS !
M A G A !

“It is completely pointless to curse or insult a DEMOCRAT – these villains are used to that.” IS THE ONLY INCORRECT STATEMENT IN THIS PRETTY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THEM! THE DIMS CAN’T STAND EXPOSURE NOR ACTIVE CENSURE AS IT CALLS THEM ON THEIR BS AND BEING NATURAL COWARDS ARE AFRAID THAT OTHERS WILL GANG UP ON THEM LIKE THEY LIKE TO DO TO THEIR GOP VICTIMS! THIS IS WHY THEY SEEK TO CENSURE PAM GELLER FOR EXAMPLE AS THEY ARE LIKE COCKROACHES WHO CAN’T STAND THE LIGHT AND WHY THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED IN MANAGEMENT, HR, ETC WHICH IS THE KIND OF WORK THEY ACTIVELY SEEK AS THEY LIKE TO CONTROL OTHERS! THEY ARE OVER-EDUCATED SYCOPHANTS!

Replacing lab rats with democrat politicians

The National Institute of Health (NIH) announced last week that they were going to start using democrat politicians instead of rats in their experiments. Naturally, the DNC was outraged and filed suit. Yet, the NIH presented some very good reasons for the switch.

1. The lab assistants were becoming very attached to their little rats. This emotional involvement was interfering with the research being conducted. No such attachment could form for a democrat politician.

2. The democRATs breed faster and are in much greater supply.

3. The democRATs are much cheaper to care for and the humanitarian societies won’t jump all over you no matter what you’re studying.

4. There are some things even a rat won’t do.

Now if the bill tied in Congressional pay cheques your head would spin from the speed the Dems would be voting it in. But hey, what do they care? They get paid either way, and Pelosi gets to buy more of her expensive ice cream,

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT PRES. TRUMP HAS BEEN PUSHED INTO A CORNER NOT ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THE OBAMA ROUTINELY DID BY EXECUTIVE ORDER WHICH IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN! THE D-MN democ-RATS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO KEEP FOLKS FROM GETTING ANY HELP SO THEY ARE CRITICAL OF PRES. TRUMP!
HERE IN TX I ACTUALLY TALKED TO A STATE GOP OPERATIVE FOR MY LARGE CITY COUNTY WHO IS A JOKE! LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION SHE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT MEET-UP OR USING A FORUM TO HAVE LOCAL EVENTS AND MEETINGS WHILE EVEN BEING AFRAID OF HARASSING EMAILS WHICH COMES WITH THE TERRITORY SO HAS NO EMAIL TO CONTACT HER ON THE STATE PARTY WEBSITE! ALL I CAN SAY IS “WOW!”
THE LOCAL COUNTY PARTY OFFICE WAS MOVED TO AN ISOLATED PLACE NOT EASILY CENTRAL TO WHERE A LOT OF REPUBLICANS LIVE DUE TO THE DESIRE OF THE LAST COUNTY CHAIR TO BE NEAR WHERE SHE LIVED WHO WAS OUSTED BECAUSE SHE WAS A MEAN JOKE BY MAINSTREET REPUBLICANS VOTING IN A REAL ELECTION LIKE THEY SHOULD BE VOTED ON! WE HAVE A TOO RECENTLY ELECTED STATE CHAIR, ALLEN WEST BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE VOTE OF PRECINCT CHAIRS NOT BY STATE REPUBLICAN VOTERS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE FOR STATE CHAIR SO WE GET FOLKS WHO KNOW HOW TO CAMPAIGN FOR THAT CRITICAL OFFICE! TX IS THE LARGEST GOP STATE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE ARE DEALING WITH THIS NOW IN THIS CRITICAL TIME SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION HERE!
THE FIX IS ON FOLKS! https://www.newsmax.com/politics/dick-morris-election-john-roberts-votes/2020/09/06/id/985646/ TELLS US JUST WHAT THE DIMS ARE PLANNING TO DO! MEANWHILE THEIR MISMANAGED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO THE NATION FOR THE NASTY JOKES THEY ARE BUT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BAIL THEM OUT NOW? THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT! FABULOUS FALL, RIGHTISTS!
