    Amazing! The Democrats sure got suckered.

    If only they knew how to read, they might have known before they voted for it.


    Of course someone just said the Dems got stampeded into voting for it.

    L O FUCKING L.

    Look in the mirror. Most of the idiots here (this is to those it pertains, not to the quoted) seemed to be happy with this bill that gives away unknown trillions of dollars to the rich just as long as Trump couldn't get any.

    The best thing I can think of to describe this team sport bullshit is this.

    Imagine the Blazers players and the Lakers players made some deal to fix a game and let the Lakers win.

    You guys want to blame the Lakers. I blame both.

    Yes, but in his mind he thinks he is actually taking money out of his own pocket and putting it into ours.

    ...are you OK with this tax provision ear marked for the super rich?

    ...as far as the Dems getting suckered because they didn't read the entirety of the bill, I seem to remember many here as well as in both houses condemning the Dems for dragging their feet on approval.

    No. I'm not ok with most any of it.

    The entire thing needed to be done in pieces.

    Money to unemployed Americans who lost jobs directly? Different bill.

    We are fucking screwed. Dems can pretend they got snookered but they have been half of this game of passing 8000 page bills they have never read for decades.

    Yeah, that's the insanity.

    I was sicker than my husband.
    I took a drug because I had a fever.
    My fever went away.
    I didn't feel good right after.
    I'm not dead.


    The headline in the liberal rag is that she took it and didn't like what it did to her.

    That's the way they want to spin it.

    Fox should write an article with this headline....

    Idiot actress saved by Trump drug complains about side effects.


    Neither of which would be acceptable by the media when I was a kid.

    Wrong...I'm not a democrat and Biden was not my choice.

    So is your opinion that none of us should support anybody?

    You sound just as out of touch as the people you point a finger at. Lol. I love hearing city dwellers theories about all the racist hillbillies hiding out in the scary sticks outside the cities. Ridiculous.
    I’ve lived in both. Cities are WAY more fucked up and racist.

    Let’s see... WHO urged people to keep travel open January 31st. The Trump Administration shut down travel to and from China.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-who-idUSKBN1ZU1C2

    WHO didn’t even call this a pandemic until March 11.
    https://time.com/5791661/who-coronavirus-pandemic-declaration/

    this is what the Trump Administration was doing weeks before that.


    February 29: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed certified labs to develop and begin testing coronavirus testing kits while reviewing pending applications.

    February 29: The Trump Administration:

    • Announced a level 4 travel advisory to areas of Italy and South Korea.
    • Barred all travel to Iran.
    • Barred the entry of foreign citizens who visited Iran in the last 14 days.
    March 3: The CDC lifted federal restrictions on coronavirus testing to allow any American to be tested for coronavirus, “subject to doctor’s orders.”

    March 3: The White House announced President Trump donated his fourth-quarter salary to fight the coronavirus.

    March 4: The Trump Administration announced the purchase of approximately 500 million N95 respirators over the next 18 months to respond to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

    March 4: Secretary Azar announced that HHS was transferring $35 million to the CDC to help state and local communities that have been impacted most by the coronavirus

    None of that absolves Trump from being ultimately accountable.

    In February. The Gallup polling gave the GOP better approval over the Dems that they held for years. Nancy Pelosi rose to a 55% disapproval as well.

    It was a complete disaster for the Dems, who had very good approvals before they started the impeachment hearings.

    Never said the Administration wasn’t at fault in some way. As I’ve said before, many world leaders were. Most of Europe didn’t even start Mitigation Efforts until after the US started theirs.

    Exact opposite. And Ill dig up quotes if I have to. I remember specifically commenting that Id rather have the bill checked out in full and libs and socialists here screaming that people need money now, just send it out. Whats the delay????


    Sorry, you are re visioning history.

    Not going at you, but not going to read people saying the what happened was the complete opposite of what actually happened. There is a limit to my silence....

    Good news is that even though the malaria drug Trump ordered 59 million doses of doesn't work against covid19....we'll be prepared for the oncoming malaria pandemic!
