Senate GOP coronavirus relief bill includes $1.75B for new FBI building at administration's request

The bill includes $1.75 billion"for the design and construction of a Washington, D.C. headquarters facility for the Federal Bureau of Investigation," according to the bill text.The provision comes after the administration's successful push for the funds caused significant problems during the intraparty negotiations. But the funding could still face an uncertain future, with at least two key Republicans withholding full support.

"Another senior Republican close to the talks lamented the decision to include it: "I can't imagine it's a helpful thing to have in there."The Trump administration and specifically President Donald Trump have long been involved in plans surrounding FBI headquarters.

Trump supporters don't care🙄 they might even say that this is fake news or that this was Obama's idea

What does this have to do with the Coronavirus

Wasn’t he the one that put this on the back burner? Didn’t they have a whole new building picked? And he put his fingers in it and said no? Because it would leave property available that might be good for a hotel to compete with his?

CNN I can’t with your one sided bias BS anymore! Unfollowing...../

Why are we redecorating in a Pandemic? First the Rose Garden and now this? Doesn’t make sense 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is bullshit. Whats also bullshit is how CNN will report shit like this when Republicans do it, but remain silent when Democrats pull the same shit. We need an honest media in this country.

Well don’t they all do it? Why do you object care when the republicans do it?

?

But he hates the FBI. Does this mean someone in the FBI is blackmailing him to get themselves a new office space?

No way

That’s better than wanting to spend billions on illegal invaders like the democrats want to do.

Rightfully so.. realDonaldTrump

Do we need a new FBI building?

Is the building affected by COVID19 ? It it suffering from unemployment lack medicall services foreclosure ? Americans are suffering so redirect $$ to those who really need it! TuesdayMorning

If any congressman I can vote for, vote for this, I'm voting for the other guy

Why? Why? Why?

WHaattttt.....Is that Republicans really do not care of their own people

Because Trump thinks he'll make money off it.

Wow

Is this a joke?

Siiiigh

What. About. Infrastructure?.

Why the outrage. Typical DC, add pork (poison pills to other party). Same as with HEROES Act. Almost all Rs & many Ds voted against it. Why can't Congress pass a clean phase 4 bill that only addresses the needs of the people during these trying times.

Better than giving it to Illegal Immigrants.

Well, Pelosi held up stimulas money to fund a building .I don't see a problem

LOL

How about we just demolish the FBI building and close the bureau forever?

No different than Pelosi sticking in $25 million for the Kennedy Center in the first COVID Bill. Odd CNN was okay with that.

I'll bet money that the plan is to insert listening devices all through the construction, just like Putin tried with the American Embassy in Moscow, causing the whole building to be scrapped.

A small % of the overall package, and would only cover another 20,000 medical staff for the next year. Maybe save a few thousand lives. Oh well... Trump has his priorities.

GOOD

Good!

Democrats gave $25m to an opera house...

Why in the hell can’t the Republicans have a clean bill to handle the pandemic that has been created by our stupidity. God help us all. We need to get rid of these old people it’s time for a change.

Because it benefits Trumps hotel. Duh!

It's as if they're unconcerned about the everyday, struggling citizen

If you believe anything from the CNN then your IQ is less than your shoe size. Here is my prediction for next year, UFO's are coming and we need a world government to combat this. Don't believe me? See all the UFO reports in this Toilet News network.

Of course .....

well that seems ....... uhhhhh 'necessary' is definitely not the word

Sounds them same as Dems would propose. More crap. Stop pretending the Dems don't do the same.

So conDon can create a new HQ to cover up and help his fraud, imbezzlements and treason. Just what the Trump crime family needs.

Bc that’s important right now

And here I thought the GOP was all about limited government spending...

Nope.

NO.

$ for military & FBI building, nothing for Covid19 testing plan or financial support for us. Great.

More useful than whatever nonsense building Nancy demanded funding for who still turned around & fired ppl

Do we really need that right now?

💙

Of course it does.

Don’t remember you guys complaining about the Kennedy Center grant money or the free abortions in the Dems plan. Hacks

In Trump we trust! Haters kiss my small asss

Senate GOP, White House to propose cutting $600 unemployment checks to $200 in coronavirus relief planLATEST: GOP proposal to include $200 short-term federal unemployment benefit extension, as opposed to $600 a week, source tells ABC News, since it will take time before states' systems can shift to accommodate any federal benefit changes. Still too much. Let us go back to work. I love that it’s Mark Meadows picture on this, the dude who lied about having a Bachelor of Arts, had demanded balanced federal budget and voted against disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy. Good guy. This means the GOP is pushing for 50 different benefits, depending on which state you live in, how much that state has, and if the state government is feeling generous. Seem this hurts red states disproportionately.

Senate GOP candidates attacked Obama over Ebola but defend Trump on coronavirus pandemicIn the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections, Republican David Perdue excoriated President Barack Obama over his handling of the Ebola outbreak. Six years later, Perdue has praised President Trump, even as Trump has repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus. Republicans. go figure! Trump...a culture of arrogance, ignorance, hatred, bigotry, racism, sexism and contempt abhorred by the entire world except his blind, uninformed and apparently very scared sheeple. Can we just be done with calling out their hypocrisy, they are hypocrites!

A good way for ea person to think about situation is, what would you do if current situation was merely economic downturn without a pandemic....just lost job for another reason? What would you do? Best we discipline ourselves. AMEN$ how about essential workers, Dems!? What the hell do we get for being out there every day!?
