McConnell has introduced legislation to combine two additional demands from Trump to an expansion of direct stimulus payments as part of the relief package, raising Democratic concern the pathway for expanded stimulus payments would soon be short-circuited

The Kentucky Republican, shortly before adjourning the Senate on Tuesday afternoon, introduced a bill that would combine increased direct payments with a repeal of the online liability protections known as Section 230 and the establishment of a commission to study voter fraud. The latter two issues have been significant drivers of Trump's ire in the wake of his general election loss -- the latter of which with zero evidence presented to this point.

While aides say it's unclear if the bill will actually come up -- there remains a possibility the 116th Congress comes to an end with no action at all -- should it do so, it would serve as a way to address the President's issues and give the two Georgia Republican senators in tight runoffs something to vote for.

If McConnell ties Trump's legislation to a covid relief package, how is that not extortion?

Where are all the Pelosi-hating MAGA’s screaming for a clean bill?

I bet you 500 $ , Trump told him to do that. Cuz, we all know how shady he is. Cuz, why throw in the media thing and the voter fraud thing with the 2,000, and then leave the Military out as separate. Get where I'm going with this? Probably Trumps plan all along.

And then of course would be Republicans that call giving money to the American public not sound economic but they'll happily give money to all the corporations more than it would take to give the $2,000 to each American citizen. They don't care about the American people.

It's a traitorous act because section 230 protects free speech on the internet by making sure that the social media providers aren't liable for the stuff being said by their users. He's nothing more than traitorous scum that should be prosecuted alongside trump.

Does he think all these up by himself or has the devil finally taken over him

It's called BLACKMAIL Mitch. You are supposed to work for the people all the time. trump is on his way out and when America has had 4 years to grieve because of the murders his inactions caused he won't be back. He followed his boss' instructions & his job is done.

I’m gonna leave some of these bad boys around MitchMcConell home and office and let nature take it’s course.

donwinslow Poison Pill. Apt for McConnell.

McConnell is the devil that hates Americans and deprive them from our own money

Why can't the Senate Republicans vote on a stand alone bill that was passed in the House without adding more garbage to mess it up. Mcconnell is just playing games to get the legislation to be killed. He knows that the Democrats won't go for it.

This isn’t popular and possibly a taboo! Its essential to provide Israel with $3.3 billion in 'security assistance' and $500 million for missile defense but not to struggling Americans—who ain’t a priority. Israel has received $146 billion of US taxpayers' money as of Nov 2020.

We will now see Trump and Republicans could are less about all of us who are suffering at this time. Everyone should pledge to vote out anyone who adds things on to the bill to kill it or refuse to vote for a clean bill to help Americans

330,000 deaths are on these assholes in Washington. Let’s add now to peoples grief and pain.

donwinslow MoscowMitchHatesAmericans mitchmcconnellSTILLGETSPAIDWhileChildrenSTARVE The bill includes pay raises for these despots! MitchMcConnell is historically the worst elected official..not there for KY but for his own private interest agenda. When will Americans say enough?

donwinslow Son of a Mitch!!!

Let all this 11th hour legislation collapse. We are less than 23 days from a new president and new Congress. By then, what little shine remains on McConnell will be in ashes. Mitch is the architect of his final political demise.

Old piece of 💩🤬

McConnell should be arrested!

Don’t agree to them SpeakerPelosi

donwinslow Blackmail and NO on 230, it stays and Fk Trump

Why do we, as Americans, continue to let ONE man- “The Grim Reaper,” decide what the Senate will or will not be allowed to vote on? I don’t care what party he is attached to...NO ONE PERSON should ever be allowed to have that kind of power.

Just an observation. Mitch has never lost the fear of being the kid on the playground that was bullied. He's not only giving up his lunch to Trump, he's giving up ours.

donwinslow I don't think there should be anything in a bill but the items that address the specific topic. If we ate talking about stimulus checks, then nothing should be added. It makes for constant blackmail situations.

donwinslow What a surprise. Now he can blow it up and blame Democrats.

The plan the whole time to make Dems the bad guy

donwinslow If only there was a way to remove a crazy president from office. 25thAmendmentNow

Kentucky stuck us with MoscowMitchMcTraitor

donwinslow Mix in the horse 💩 from the breeders he helped and it’s a perfect bill. Jerk.

donwinslow Helping Americans should never be lumped into trump's crap and threats. For Pete's sake, have the stimulus money completely separate 🙄

I hope all you Kentucky Republican voters remember how Mitch McConnell has left us hard working Americans behind with this pandemic stimulus. We work everyday, but have made way less than last year. We might as well quit working and just collect unemployment. It pays better!!

It’s a plan by the devil trump and his evil assistant McConnell. They think they can play the stupidity of people once again

Live Trump impeachment updates: McConnell says 'no chance' of Senate verdict before Biden inauguration'He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in her opening comments to Trump's second impeachment debate. Dems are more dangerous from economic (socialism) to public (defunding police) to national security (connection with China). Literally means nothing. SpeakerPelosi fuming as she knows this. If only real meaningful matters were pursued with such vigor in this country, a guy like Trump wouldnt have been elected 4 years ago in the first place. This is literally millionaires vs billionaires. Nope. Just DemCult political theatre. Trump 2024 F the DemCult 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿
