So, am I getting another $3900 check? Should I?

[burntorangebongos 10809]

This is so fucking stupid. They had so many months to help people with real need. Now there are people being evicted and going to food pantries, some while dealing with Covid in their families.

The money given directly to Americans would have gone directly into the economy. Car repairs, rent, food, household necessities, home repair or remodel items...it would have all helped everyone. But no. We can't help everyone because they may look to the government to help them ALWAYS going forward and we can't have that. What a crock! This is a fucking emergency, a pandemic the size that hasn't been seen in a century. People understand that and just need a temporary hand. 

We are broken, our government doesn't work for a majority of Americans and some of the people that are running it are trying to break it even more and make us suspect our institutions because it suits them politically. I don't understand how that can be more important that fellow Americans with real needs. So now, not even the fucking measly $600 goes out to families because of fuckery. Everyone in power right now is giving a great argument for term limits.

Yeah, but all those months ago, there wasn't a tightly-contested runoff for two Senate seats in Georgia that could swing control of the Senate to the Dems.

So now stimulus checks and aid are a priority.

Anybody needing Taco Bell gift cards after midnight is going to be somebody who also loses Taco Bell gift cards. Maxing them at $25 means there will be more of them spread around the house, the apartment, the hippy van. This increases the odds of finding one. The munchy-afflicted person only needs to find one.

Solid take.

The way I look at it, it's like we're in a war where we conscripted a few million people (the shut-down industries) and sent them to the front lines, but we don't really send them rations or supplies. That's been done multiple times in history, by the sides that lose.

And all this false drama about how there are a few days left--- they had more than half a year. None of them care. Not McConnell, not Pelosi, not any of them. It's a game they intend to win for their parties.

[Js1 86941]

It’s truly amazing to watch people throw so much blame at Pelosi, who holds power over 1/3rd of the apparatus required to provide checks, relief, etc. Just giving McConnell and Trump a huge pass because PELOSI AHHH BOOGEYWOMAN!!!

1. House led by Pelosi passes dozens of relief and stimulus check bills that McConnell ignores - SHE SUCKS AND DOESNT DO ANYTHING

2. Pelosi gets $600 checks negotiated and passed that the Senate approves, despite how much the GOP would just do $0 if she didn’t do any heavy lifting - ONLY $600? FUCKING OUT OF TOUCH RICH BITCH KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT OUR STRUGGLES

I think it’s a real problem that too many people act as if it’s only Democratic officials that have any agency and that the real blame for this lies at Trump’s and McConnell’s feet, but Pelosi fucked up back in April when she agreed to pass a stand alone PPP bill with a promise from McConnell that he’d work with her on a separate bill for additional relief for ordinary people and state and local governments later. Mitch and the GOP were desperate to pass the PPP bill and she had a lot of leverage that she just threw away. This isn’t just hindsight, everyone at the time knew she was making a huge fucking mistake and that Mitch would never work with her on a new bill once she’d given him what he wanted.

Trump is killing the GA GOP senators. From my understanding ossoff and warnock are basically agreeing with trump and asking the 2 sitting GOP senators why they refuse to vote for 2k.

Isn’t the senate today at 52-48 GOP? If the 2 GA are shamed to voting for 2k, then Pence breaks the tie, presumably for trump’s 2k wish.

You’re 100% right. Mitch isn’t going to be on the losing side. If he doesn’t have the votes, the vote will be something like 99-1 for 2k.

I imagine that Mitch is now trying to understand trumps opposition to the pork in the bill. Is it a dealbreaker for trump or not.  Mitch also will want to understand what more he can get for corps and billionaires if the people are getting 2k.

This.  And he's doubling down.  Or tripling down.  Sounds like he's going to refuse to sign it.  And it has been waiting for his signature since Friday morning when it was delivered to Mar-a-Lago.  He's trying to bend Mitch over, possibly over the Georgia runoffs and/or getting the Senate to fight it on the 6th.

 

[atomheartbevo 90548]

There's over 70,000 federal employees in Georgia that could be furloughed, there's a shit-ton more that will be affected, and that's on top of the millions that were promised some kind of stimulus.  And that's not getting into those that will be affected by the unemployment benefits that are running out.

And Warnock and Ossoff are hammering Perdue and Loeffler over this, because the Republicans are the "Leopard ate my face" party. 

Trump is not sophisticated in any way, but his "bull running wild in a china shop" schtick could very well work, and has got to be making Mitch and the Rs sick to their stomaches.  They didn't even want to give up $600 a person, and now he's going to fuck them if they don't give up $2,000.

I have a very close friend who is an EMT in the Atlanta area.  She's not one of those overly obese EMTs, but she does have comorbidities like heart murmur and susceptibility to bronchitis and pneumonia.   She's a single mom, with no spousal support (long story).   In April she was coming off pneumonia, and they told her to come in before her doctor released her.  She was in the ambulance during the race protests.  Some might remember that, had a brick thrown through her window into her lap.  

Her employers are a for profit company.  They provided scant to no PPE.  She finally caught Covid in late August.  8 days at home, 10 in hospital, another 10 and home and she was threatened with losing her job if she didn't return.  She had no sick time left, and her copay for her Covid visit was $1,000 after the insurance.  Employer offered no assistance with this and offered no help in advances or anything to help with the bills piling up.  Working a lot of double shifts through great pain during breathing, and the help  of some friends, she got caught up enough to only be a month behind, and was closing that.   

Two weeks ago she got sick again, quickly turned into double pneumonia and back in the hospital.   No help from employers.  Still there. On a bipap system, maybe even a ventilator by now, since our  communication is spotty due to her being in and out and dependent on hospital wifi, since her phone was cut off.

I say all that to point out the rage I feel for asses like McConnell who are fighting so hard to limit or completely nullify any liability these corporations have for how they treat their employees be they medical folks, first responders, meat packers, stockers and other front line workers.   How they killed off any front line hazard duty bonus pay.    Fuck these assholes who are getting rich off of this, while so many others are just trying to survive, literally.   To keep a roof over their family's heads and bellies with food, much less think about a christmas present.    

They bitch about $2000, but there was a big article last week that stated that the top echelon of billionaires could write each and every American a $3000 check right now, and still be richer than they were when all this started in April.  How the fuck is that even acceptable.  But these damn charlatans keep dancing to the rich organ grinders tune, like their paid fucking monkeys in their little MAGA hats.

Republicans are damned lucky the Dems have been too incompetent, or not charismatic enough, to pin a lot more shit on Republicans.  A lack of movement on stimulus/relief from April through November should have been enough to sink the Republicans in a lot more races.  

The fact that the Republicans didn't care about stimulus/relief until the Georgia runoffs were in doubt should also be telling, but nope, The Dems do not do a good job of pinning this on Rs.  

For all of the screaming about the "LAMESTREAM MEDIA THAT'S IN THE BAG FOR THE DEMOCRATS", the media has done a shitty job of hammering away at Mitch and Co. over this.

I know a shitload of folks who have been hurt by the economy/covid, that could really use some kind of additional aid at this point.  

I'm really surprised that Mitch didn't have a grasp on this situation and let Donnie blow it up.

They negotiated directly with Mnuchin and met the White House exactly where they wanted on the pork. There’s negligible differences between what the Admin wanted and what the bill gave them. 

It’s not Congress’ fault that Trump abdicated negotiations to Mnuchin and didn’t even tweet or say a word about $2k payments until after the fact. I’m sure Mnuchin downed an entire bottle of something in frustration. 

Toddler in Chief is throwing another temper tantrum because he’s mad Congress won’t make him President again. He himself is to blame if the bill gets vetoed.

If I was Mitch, I'd be busting balls to get something done, because yeah, they fucked around and left it open to a pocket veto, which means a whole shitload of federal employees in Georgia are going to get furloughed just as the runoffs are happening, impacting them and their families, not to mention people who thought they were getting something and now they aren't (either group is more than enough to tip the scales to the Dems).
