Democrats must be dancing naked in the forest. This is their dream – misery, sorrow, unemployment, hardship.

Tens of thousands of job cuts were announced over a 24-hour period, from banks to oil giants, to Disney.

American Airlines to Begin Furloughing 19,000 Workers After Pelosi Fails to Agree to Deal with Mnuchin

American Airlines said it will begin furloughing 19,000 workers after lawmakers and the White House can’t agree on a coronavirus relief deal.

The major airlines have held off on layoffs and mass furloughs under the terms of a $25 billion payroll support program Congress passed in March. The deal was aimed at helping the airlines cope with shutdowns, quarantines, and a crash in bookings, but at the time it was passed, lawmakers believed demand for air travel would recover in a few months.

The March legislation’s ban on cutting jobs expires October 1. Demand for air travel has recovered a bit since the depths of March and April, but passenger volume remains 70 percent below pre-pandemic levels.

Airline executives say they simply cannot avoid eliminating jobs and furloughing employees without a new round of relief from Congress.

American Airlines Chief Executive Doug Parker said in a letter to employees that he stood ready to reverse the furloughs if lawmakers reach a deal, according to Reuters.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Fox News on Thursday that talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had made progress, but no deal has been reached. Democrats have resisted reaching a deal with Republicans, with some Democratic politicians and strategists worried that any deal to boost the economy might help Trump’s re-election efforts. Some liberal activists oppose any deals with the Trump administration under any circumstances.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called a proposed $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package from the Democrats “outlandish.”

President Trump has told Capitol Hill Republicans that he would prefer a bill that spent more than the earlier Republican proposal that was rejected by Democrats to no deal at all.

Airlines spent the last several months furiously lobbying lawmakers for a second round of $25 billion of payroll support that would avoid job cuts until the end of March.

United has said it will eliminate more than 13,000 jobs if there is no deal.

NO PROBLEM … The GREEN NEW DEAL will replace all airlines anyway, with high speed trains.

MAZIE HIRONO has already bought her tickets for the Los Angeles – Honolulu “Under The Sea” Express …
(Cue Music here … cue Sebastian the Crustacean …. cue the band…)
….
excerpt: ” … Airlines spent the last several months furiously lobbying lawmakers for a second round of $25 billion of payroll support that would avoid job cuts until the end of March. United has said it will eliminate more than 13,000 jobs if there is no deal…”

Since United is in such excellent financial shape … the bankruptcy will be trivial ..

Nancy doesn’t give a rat’s ass as long as speaker, she has a government supplied jet at her disposal whenever she wants to travel somewhere.

Pelosi’s and Shumerus maniacal and irrational desire to hurt American Voters in the year of an elections is so insane it’s like the Chicom’s have guns to their heads extorting the insanity.

That horrible bitch. Next time she sneaks off to get her hair done I hope they shampoo her with gasoline and light a match. She is pure evil, determined to reduce as many of us as possible to poverty to further her power.

This is a lot bigger than just “because a certain woman HATES a certain Man”. Demon (crats) are opportunists and they have been looking for this opportunity for a hundred years. This whole Covid World Takeover has been their ‘wet’ dream for decades, planned and organized and ready for this time in history. Two things make it possible now. Yes, Donald Trump is a huge part because he has upset their well-oiled machine and is a huge threat to their plans and has forced their hand earlier than they wanted. The other is social media (and 5 G) that has/will ramp up the speed of internet 10 fold. The 30 year Communist takeover is well under way as we see, for the first time ever, cooperation between the Anarchist Antifa and BLM (plus 200 other Soros funded groups), Hollywood actors, Academia, the entire Democratic party and half the Republican party, all Major Sports groups plus Big Pharma and Big Tech. That is an impressive cabal for Trump and his army of Evangelicals, farmers and miners to fight, BUT, there is help on the way.
The KIng of KIngs and Lord of Lords, the REAL SUPREME JUDGE is about to step back onto this tiny blue orb and set things right again, as He promised He would.(And His Judgments won’t be pretty). I trust that you are ready to meet your Creator, but if not, just give Him a shout. His name is Jesus and He is waiting for your call. Make the right CHOICE and you can avoid all that is coming. As President Trump has stated before, “What have you got to lose”. ?? Eternity is a looooong time !!!!!!

Piglosi will fly her government supplied jet home this weekend, so she can eat expensive ice cream and laugh at the peons suffering because the government made their businesses close.

The airline employees received a 6 month reprieve when no one else did.
They can collect unemployment like everyone else.
Restaurant workers, beauty salons and barbers…not treated with kid gloves like the airlines.

It goes like this – Pelosi tells her alcoholic buddy
Congresswoman Kirkpatrick – “We ensure the funding will stop, we will cut off
funds, eliminate cash flows and hurt as many voters as we can and they will
blame Trump and Trump will lose the election – it’s called short term pain for
long term gain”
Kirkpatrik then asks – “will any of us be alive by this time next year?

Maybe the 19,000 about to lose everything should be given Pelosi’s home address so they can all meet there to discuss things!
