Are serving as a vedette screen for the phalanx Speaker Pelosi directs. Nothing she will not pass the House could become law. Even McConnell knows that.

actually entails.

Once the Repukes pass a Senate Bill, it will be full court press from Cheeto, the Corporate Media, and all the GOP Congresscritters to pass it, hollering that Nancy is 'playing politics at this time of great peril!'

She also has to protect her majority come November.

And if everyone in the country thinks they're going to be getting a check soon after this bill is passed, well ...

And note my expectation is that she will get everything she can. That is not the same as everything I might want. I am prepared to accept her judgement on the limits of her power, should what she can get prove less than my desire. I will certainly not regard that, should it occur, as indicating betrayal or weakness or complicity or any such pernicious nonesense.

In the early days of Japanese victory in the Pacific, when proposals for even grander conquests were proposed, a general stood holding his cup. 'This tea represents our strength,' he said, and dashed it out on the floor. 'You see it only goes so far.'

I don't think your characterization has proved consistently accurate.

We are occupying the rhetorical high ground....

and we hold the purse...

you sir are a wordsmith of much repute!

The benefits for the Captains of Industry are permanent pressed, it's the benefits for the people that may be wrinkles to iron out, those pesky useless eaters out there expecting socialist welfare bail outs and I bet they even want free bootstraps to go with that.

Do a separate bill then. Get that money out to workers now. Did the sick leave part go through yet? That at least would help getting next pay checks.

Corporations Last.

We need to stand firm on this. NO free money for those big business entities. Let them sell stock, get slimy banker loans using their assets as collateral, pass the hat from their largest investors for preferred stock, but NO free TAXPAYER money!

DU -- Call your representative and senator tomorrow morning. This needs to be loud and clear. Working people are going without food and medicine from no fault of their own.

Delta -- sorry it sucks to lay off your $300K / year airline captains. If they haven't saved enough from 20+ years of serious income, then too bad -- boo hoo. Let them experience what millions of Americans do every day -- go hungry. If your corporate finance geniuses didn't save any cash after buying back stock -- then you get to go bankrupt. Not sure how? Ask the Orange Turd how to do it -- he has plenty of experience in that.

Giving money to a casino? Get real. If they go bankrupt, someone else will buy the building and machines. Stockholders lose -- as they should.

Seriously, CALL YOR REP TOMORROW!!

Dems have to protect this country AGAIN!!
