they killed
it earlier. that’s why you didn’t see anyone say they killed
it this time.

are you denying that senate democrats are the reason it didn’t get passed a few days ago?

Wayne, don’t worry about his supporters. Hold you ground and control what you can control. We will get through this. Do you go on other sites to discuss politics also?

It did - to stick up for someone.

It is that I think responding to someone's posts (who isn't talking to you) and insulting their intelligence says something about them. I thought you were better than that but I'm prob. wrong since you seem to be doing that more and more.

Because you've just been the perfect example of thoughtful and meaningful posts here lately.

Your posts lately are basically a mix of fighting with Jim, calling Scott snarky, or passing your holier than thou judgements on anybody that disagrees with your views, so spare me your thoughts about my character. I sleep fine at night.

Since you have so much experience in the private sector, you tell me how many Americans you think got furloughed in the last 72 hours?

I agree three days isn't the end of the world. But the fact is, the senate democrats killed it on Monday, and the did so because they wanted funding for liberal projects, some (not all) of which have absolutely nothing to do with helping sick people - do you agree with this, yes or no? Requiring that companies have officers in charge of inclusion and diversity? $35 million for the Kennedy center for the arts?

You must think i know. No one in the private sector 2 live with me ones working nurse 1 laid off dental office

This bill isnt going to prevent future layoffs lets hope it helps

35mil for the Kennedy might not have been need if Republicans didnt target planned parenthood or other non profits... who knows maybe both have been removed

You keep ignoring the Repubs. wanting $500B with no oversight. Why should the govern. spend $ w/o the people who are putting the $ into the system know where it is being spent.

Any bill being negotiated includes the wishes of both parties and some things get negotiated away. The diff. here is that you only focus on one side and blame the Ds. Pres. Trump even seemed to agree w/that by stating he didn't want a company to get $ and then buy back their stock.

I’m happy to dunk on Congress, but I don’t understand why some people think it should be quick, easy, and painless to get a majority to agree on how to spend two trillion dollars.

Republicans right now are holding up COVID relief package because the unemployment insurance is TOO GENEROUS,

In a statement, Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said that the bill could provide a "strong incentive for employees to be laid off instead of going to work" because some people could theoretically make more by being unemployed.

they continued. "If the federal government accidentally incentivizes layoffs, we risk life-threatening shortages in sectors where doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are trying to care for the sick, and where growers and grocers, truckers and cooks are trying to get food to families' tables."


really only big business who they want to give billions to.. would lay people off so the government can pay them .. the individual has no such power to lay themselves off

This is one of the reasons you remain ignorant. And by ignorant, I don't mean stupid. I mean the non-judgmental definition--uninformed or misinformed. You pick one supposedly or reputedly negative thing or name about something or someone and then judge the whole by it. What site, or news agency or TV network does not have at least one person or commentator or program that many think is bat$hit crazy? Are your relied on sources purely free of any such blights? So you dismiss what could be enlightening information by ignorantly casting a negative light on the entire source.

And your ignorance may not be entirely innocent. I suspect you disagree with the "world view," as you've put it in the past, or with the political view or slant, of Breitbart, or Fox New, or various bloggers, etc., so you intentionally pick something you think is negative about them, point that out, then think you've proved that they are to be scorned and dismissed.

Breitbart and Fox news are excellent sources for things that the left leaning media avoid covering or get wrong when they do. Breitbart and Fox got a whole lot more right on a lot of the nonsense ginned up about Trump. They've pointed out a host of fallacies, misconceptions, and lies told about Trump. They were far more accurate and ultimately right about the Russia hoax, the impeachment hoax, the obstruction hoax, and a whole lot more, than was the leftist media.

That's true of many "conservative" or libertarian bloggers such as those whose videos I've posted and you've dismissed via this method of pointing out a thing that you think is negative about them personally, and so dismiss, avoid, the content of their message which you were not able to dispute.

Your method is a recipe for remaining willfully ignorant. How useful was your source for the fish tank cleaner drinkers?
