Republicans and Democrats remained at odds in weekend negotiations on a new coronavirus economic relief package

House Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi want any economic-relief package to include a long-term extension of the enhanced unemployment benefit,

arguing the extra funds have been a critical support to those who lost their jobs amid the pandemic. The White House and Senate Republicans, however, want...

THE POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PRINTED MORE MONEY IN THE LAST 30 DAYS THAN IN THE LAST 200 YEARS Simple let's throw a bone to the people of America maybe they will forget that China has KILLED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS AND devastated our economy. We are already 26 trillion det

AND PRESENT CHUMP SENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CHINESE COMPANIES KNOWING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS? Just goes to show who is protecting and it SURE AS HELL NOT THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA. Run for reelection LUDICROUS when SUPPORTS CHINA . Jail

Let's be clear.. .these pricks aren't arguing over what WE will be getting. They're arguing over what THEY will be getting. They don't give a piss about us.

Pelosi/Dems refuse to sit down like adults and negotiate with the Republicans on behalf of the American people. Pelosi is the worse Speaker of the House in American history. She has not been speaker for the entire house, just for Democrats. Disgraceful!

Will someone—anyone—clue the bewitch, Nancy Pelosi, that the problem with the Democrat Party is they are a safe haven for anti-Semites like adultress Ilhan Omar, Palestinian Rashida Tlaib, and their many anti-Semitic Democrat supporters.

Let’s reduce their salary during the pandemic. If it’s happening to their constituents, they shouldn’t be exempt.

$600 plus unemployment is more than many/most teachers, police, food chain people are making. It is extremely unfair. The dems want to start the universal income and encourage not going back to work. Adjust by standard of living and past salary.

Pelosi is so full of herself. The only people she's helping with these delays are rich republicans, while millions of Americans suffer.

Pelosi doesn't care about worker's suffering. With that $25,000 refrigerator & $13 a pint ice cream why should she. What kind of person refuses a temporary $600 week extension for workers?

Lets roll the clock to where those in congress had a day job and had to live day to day with their constituents. It’s a win win. Less salaries paid to those, from both parties, that costs us billions of dollars. And they would have more accountability at the local level.

This is the Lefts Juggernaut, remove it GOP.

Of course they did, they don’t give a shit about the people as long as their livelihoods aren’t affected

The fact that the GOP so freely gave the 1% a huge wage increase while pushing the deficit to historic highs & NOW they are pissing n moaning over $400 for those who keep this country going is DISGUSTING!! GOP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT JOHN AND JANE AMERICA!

Palosi is pathetic! She doesn’t want anything but power! Can’t stand that Trump dishes her!

Don't worrie All their families will be Wiped From American Honor. WWG1WGA.

any relief pkg will not help the people this is way to late to assist them/.they are desperate for help & the gop failure is responsible for creating more hardship on us all/.

Can we at least agree that they should only get paid what they “decide” to dispense back to Americans during the government mandated economic shutdown?

and remember it was Chuck who would not agree to the extension so that they had time to agree on something. He wanted to be able to say Republicans let it expire....do you still think he cares about you!

Loggerheads is a great bar in Palm Coast, FL

Memory is Key. '08 GW Bush sent out checks. '12 Obama bailed out Corporations. each ADDED $10 Trillion in DEBT and greatly REDUCED individual LIBERTY. Whether you blame Banks,Speculators or Medical Hysteria, Leaders should honor the Values of our American Republic.

Dems passed their bill in May and McConnell sat on it deliberately in an attempt to push them into a corner. Typical GOP fukery.

I am over this

Brain Dead Joe will figure it all out! LOL!

But THEY all get paid. HouseDemocrats SpeakerPelosi, Multimillionaire CareerPolitician SenateGOP senatemajldr, Multimillionaire CareerPolitician

YET, PRESIDENT BOZO WANTS TO ADD 1.75 BILLION TO BUILD A NEW FBI BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET FROM ONE OF HIS HOTELS!. CAN'T FIND $600 FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN WHO CAN'T PAY HIS RENT OR BUY FOOD YET BILLIONS TO ENRICH BOZO!.

Republicans want ordinary Americans to be starved out while they spread damned lies and conspiracies.

Jeez most of the have net worths in million and will probably get pensions but can't give an extra 400 to the jobless hourly worker

How ironic: the American people are supposed to be so great, but not great enough to invest back in during a pandemic. Pathetic. Please follow and check out my latest article:

I understand Schummer is in the minority in the Senate and Pelosi has the house but the way he follows her around like a blind lap dog is weird.

Do nothing. freedom
