The cynical partisan opportunism of Democrats exhibited during the coronavirus economic crisis has been breathtaking.
Rather than move forward with quick, no-frills, massive $1.8 trillion dollar rescue plan, Democrats decided to hold the country hostage by trying to cram through a slew of lefty goodies that have absolutely nothing to do with the pending economic crisis.
As corporate boards struggle to figure out ways to keep their companies afloat, Nancy Pelosi is demanding that they spend time filling gender and racial quotas, down to “subcommittee assignments.”
The only good thing to come from this kind of downright evil behavior from the Demoncrats is that everyone will see them as they truly are. How can they not after this?!
They reveal themselves to be uncaring, callous, separated from reality elites who sit in their high castles playing games with Americans' lives. They have done NOTHING to help or come to the aid of regular Americans who are struggling during this unprecedented time. They absolutely disgust me. Such vile, selfish creatures.

They are all those things you said, #1, yet come November, the same people being cheated out of this bill will vote for them again. It happens every election. The sheeple are too blind to see what is happening to them, or else they just don't care!

Pelosi is still taking very poor advise from someone. Just like she did during the impeachment process. Go Nancy, you are helping to turn the House Red.

The assumptions that the Republican leaders never fail to make is that "this time" the Marxists have to be decent. They are NEVER decent and never will be. And, so what if "this time" everyone sees them as they really are? They stand in the light, do evil all day and increase their evil even when caught. And, they NEVER back down, not even an inch. The GOP still has no clue about their opponents and continue to act accordingly every. single. time.

Even NBC said the Democrats are blocking things. They usually get away with their behavior because most people don't pay attention. This time is different.
Trump will coast to victory because the economy is his strong point. Biden is irrelevant and was rambling yesterday.

The demonrat socialists view virtually EVERY decision in life in the light of politics.
The insidious way the are trying to add PORK and REGULATIONS to the corona virus bill show them for the perpetual schemers and charlatans they are. Senator Cruz had it pegged correctly when he said on the floor of the Senate yesterday when he asked: "What in hell does (fill in the blank on the socialist 'wish list') have to do with the corona virus"???
To those most financially impacted by debt, trying to make it for their family's sake, the demonrat socialists are looking at this as their opportunity for an upheaval akin to the GREAT DEPRESSION and the 1917 Russian revolution--
They are hoping beyond hope that they can snooker and fool us again by passing the bill BEFORE anyone has a chance to actually READ IT and do another con job on the American people like they did with NobamaCare.
Somehow they must think that they can manipulate this into people BEGGING them to pass SOMETHING using the anxiety and pressure to get this twisted agenda through to add money for their pet projects and to change the voting system to disenfranchise the citizens from TRUE results and to subjugate them using "ballot harvesting" which does not have ANYTHING to do with the corona virus---
Pray that we don't fall for this REORGANIZATION of our Constitutional Republic to take away the intentions of our Founding Fathers--

We are Americans. We cannot be enslaved for generations for one measley $1200 check. We will help each other if the government can do nothing but scheme with itself and hold us hostage. Don't wait for Washington. Washington is hopelessly infested with self-aggrandizing ideologues. Help your neighbors. Share what you have. Support whatever small businesses you can. Be smart. Be safe. Be wise. Be kind. Let them consume each other and not us.

All I have to say to Republicans, do not cave to this old biddy. How many time do we have to go down this road before you understand the game that democrats are playing? What you should focus on is the fact the American people want a clean bill, not a thousand page pork infested, “we have to read it to know what’s in it” debacle. You have the support of the American people if you will just do the right thing. There is nothing to fear by standing your ground but the respect of Americans who are suffering right now and need financial assistance until they can get on their feet again. I don’t know how many more opportunities you are going to actually get to do the will of the American people, but I would advise you to fight on behalf of them right now. McCarthy and McConnell have to rise to the occasion and herd their recalcitrant cats into some kind of order. We cannot allow Pelosi to derail this much needed assistance. She’s an 80+ year old grandmother for heaven’s sake, not Don Corleone. Man up and do what is right for this country.

Leader McConnell and Minority Leader McCarthy, just tell Ms Uneven Eyelids to shove it and go home to manage the homeless people who are camped outside her security gate. Then sit Chuckie down and school him once again about the crisis. Then launch a barn-burning messaging campaign that has America rise up in rage and hungers for a real political lynching of the dims. Set and maintain the narrative and destroy the dims.

I am so beyond disgusted with the Democratic Party at this point. The "rank and file" did committees that proposed a real plan to deal with this, a CRISIS, and now the leadership swans in and wants to use the opportunity to never let a good crisis go to waste........they want for all intents and purposes the Green New Deal in place. If our state reps don't stand up to the leadership they deserve what they get!

As to poster #1, who WILL report the atrocities the Dems want included at a time when time IS of the essence. The main stream media?

When (re)election time comes drag this out for Schumer to remember - who he kept his own constituents dangling while he postured.

The only difference is how much pork is sent out and who gets served. There has never, ever been a "no-frills, massive $X trillion dollar rescue plan" written or passed. Let's stop kidding ourselves. This is what hysteria first brought and now brings.

Can't get through to ANY reps or Senators or White House folks. I hope that's b/c callers are telling them to RAM this list of demands up Pelosi's you-know-what. But I fear the feckless Pubbies will once again cave. I hope Trump will take the opportunity at the Fox Town Hall today to read the list of Dem demamds.

Drove thru town today to do an estimate, what normally is an hour drive took 20 minutes. People are hurting. In July when this has passed I hope people remember that DJT sent them a check and food stamps and also remember which party held up the checks and food stamps.

I'd love to just call this stuff 'nice if we could afford it, but not necessary' -- except so much of their proposal wouldn't even be nice to have if we COULD afford it.

Yup . The Democrats would rather send money to the Performing Arts, Planned Parenthood/ abortion, the Solar industry, and to Unions than help small businesses and the medical field. Those are only 3 of many things they want to fund that have NOTHING to do with helping Americans during this medical crisis. To their lying eyes, anything they fancy is a help to people, like helping illegal alien criminals instead of purchasing ventilators. They are EVIL.

Democrats hold the nation hostage every time and emergency bill, they pile on the pork and socialist projects or caveats for government unions to expand. Unions have no place in government as if allowed into government they will soon become the government. It is time to weed out Congress and put people into office that are not for the party or for self interest. Make it for the people by the people, not for self interest and building the royalty of Congress.
