FOX: The House of Representatives on Friday evening passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill, the most expensive legislation approved by that body in history, that Democrats hailed as the unprecedented response needed to deal with the pandemic and its economic fallout.
The record-breaking bill narrowly passed by a 208-199 vote. Fourteen Democrats defied their party and voted “no,” while one Republican, Rep. Pete King of New York, broke with the GOP and voted “yes.”
“I’m thrilled,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after the bill’s passage. “I’m so proud of my members. They just did something so monumental for the American people — for their health, for their lives, for their livelihood, and for our democracy. We couldn’t be more thrilled.”
Unlike the first four coronavirus bills, which were passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, this 1,815-page package was drafted by Democrats alone and earned a veto threat from the White House and condemnation from the GOP as a “liberal wish list” that’s dead on arrival in the Senate.
Even Pelosi couldn’t get all her members on board. The most liberal members of the party panned the legislationas not going big enough, while moderate members in swing districts said they couldn’t support a bill that was too partisan and costly. READ MORE
It will die in the Senate. It’s a Dem wish list disguised as a relief bill.
HA HA HA HA HA
Pete King of NY
See all those NPC Banking of America plastic money straw APPlicationers and digital PHds with certificates in numerologies and micropayments are mightly impressed with that easy to comprehend math.
DOA.
Dead in the senate. No, the GOP will dicker about it, get some cuts to it and then pass it complete with every socialism portion left in it.
We’ll never have a fair election, again. And open borders here we come. Baby killing in full throttle mode. How much given to enemies? How much raise for congress? Where else will congress launder taxpayer funds?
‘At this point, what does it matter?’
Mitch just doesn’t have the balls to stop a fly from buzzing around his head. He has allowed nominees to stall, rather than fall back in the Reid rule of simple majority.
The man IS not a tough nut. He has too many skeletons to be able to protect an America that he and every career politician has robbed and now attempted to destroy with socialism.
The Senate will kill this turkey.
Just another nail in the dRat coffin of their own design.
Are there enough Magic Bullets to go around?
They seem to only work on Democrats.
And Nancy pelousey included provisions in this demonic piece of crap legislative bill to release all the prisoners from federal and state and local jails. She is truly an evil woman along with the entire democrap party and the friggin, gutless weenie RINO’s who will vote for this garbage.
Holy Xhri$t! That’s over ten thousand United States dollars! For every single resident! That’s able to (somehow, anyhow) cash a check!
Hm? What? Oh? I’ll, actually, be given the opportunity to work that off? As future taxes? With interest? Forever? So it can be given to “N”GOs and zillionaires? This, the current, day?
Well, alrighty, then.
Mm pretty much nailed it but I will add one thing. The Senate will pass it and Trump will veto it. The goal from the beginning was to get the veto. More fodder for the Dem base before the election. It will be spun every way from Sunday by all the usual suspects.
We are all going to be multi-millionaires one day. The currency we carry around with us will make it so. In question is how many $1,000,000 bills will it take to buy a loaf of bread? Stay tuned.
This is the democRATs Socialist/Communist stake in the ground! This is what they stand for! If nothing else, remember them for trying to Venezuela-ize the United States of America in the face of a crisis.
And I seriously doubt that the Senate will pass this pig!
“I’m so proud of my members…”
Gives me a mental picture of penises standing up to vote.
Further proof that democrats don’t give a rat’s ass about the future or present for that about this country. They are perfectly accepting to turn this country into a socialist utopia. AGENDA, AGENDA, AGENDA is all they see….they don’t care how many die or live as long as they can use us for a power asset. Liberal democrats are soulless, common senseless ghouls that if they weren’t perpetuating gloom and doom would feel right at home greeting the newbies at the gates of Hell….just saying.
” The Senate will pass it and Trump will veto it. ”
And if he doesn’t?
He hasn’t demonstrated any willingness to veto any kind of spending so far.
We are already broke. If the Senate passes this abomination and it gets signed, prepare for an economic collapse that will make the 30’s look like a happy birthday party.

DeToquiville warned us that America would die when this happened.
Opening gambit.
Now the RINOs will counter with $3.5 Trillion.
And the Republicans will settle for 5.
We’re fucked … again.

“I’m so proud of my members…” so sez Bella Pelosi, the Botox Stunt-Cunt!
This article makes me seethe. And question President Trump’s handling of the virus

Another thought: the only way President Trump and the senate should pass this BOONDOGGLE BILL, is to cut any payouts of any type that are not related to AMERICAN security and or covid caused relief.
Not a cent to ILLEGALS; nothing to federalize voting; not one cent to congress for raises, perks, or any other sneaky shit that would benefit congressional grifters; Not a cent to PBS or radio; not a cent to any of the ‘arts’; not a cent to any Workers’ union; not a cent to any state or community that harbors ILLEGALS; not a cent to any governor who over stepped the Bill of Rights and or the Constitution; not one RED cent to any aspect of the bill that hastens socialism.
BUT add funds to hasten completion of the border wall and security. And start on securing a border wall on the northern boundary. More funds to hasten throwing out the trash of ALL ILLEGALS who commit crimes, which cause harm to legal Americans! It’s time for AMERICA FIRST, Ditzy Nancy.

Somebody get on Twatter. (Somebody who hasn’t been double secret banned.) And let Ivanka know, that some misogynist snuck in a line about making free abortions harder for Karens to get.
Instead of nuking it from orbit immediately, I’m afraid there’ll be enough rinos and morons in the Senate who’ll want to at least work on a compromise version. God help us if this monstrosity passes in any form.
“How much do you want for that?”
“A Trillion Dollars!”
“I’ll give you Zero.”
“A Trillion and a Half!”
“Three Trillion!
“Three Trillion Five Hundred Billion.”
“Five Trillion – and that’s my final offer.”
“Well … OK … you drive a hard bargain!”

$220 Trillion in “unfunded” liabilities.
$22 Trillion in debt.
What’s another $3 Trillion?
The assholes voting for it don’t have to repay it.

Each taxpayer is currently on the hook for $203,000.

Virtue signalling at it’s best. It’s just part of the on-going plan to find a way to blame Trump for not helping the “American People” in time of crisis.
And we ALL know what the libs REALLY think of the American People.
Everyone on he plantation voted correctly, simple minded followers.
You all should consider your shares more than $203,000. Because I will not be paying “my” share. None of this debt was by my consent, none of that money came to me.
And this latest $3trillion omni-bullshit bill is a blatant Declaration of War on the American People by the Democrats.
It should be responded to, as such.
I wanna see the Treasury Sec on TV saying “No one will loan us another $3T.”
