Bernstein: ‘Deeply Immoral’ To Withhold $600 Unemployment Insurance Benefit | The Last Word | MSNBC
GOP is for rich people as usual
@Doug Hilton Trump supporters love talking BS just to justify for his failures.
Doug Hilton I don’t talk BS like you, I speak of facts.
@goff0103 I haven’t heard a fact from you yet. Can you please give me your most favorite fact you have? Don’t be shy I know it is going to be a dozy. We all understand that your a merchant that deals in cold hard truths that are above reproach and you like to play them close to the vest because they are so powerful they may blow our simple minds. Is there any way you could share even one with us? It might finally change the opinions of us that are uneducated. Please, please enlighten us. We crave your knowledge. Share your wisdom wise one.
Doug Hilton Talking BS again as usual.
Jhabari Owens Those states listen to their republicans. They are easy to con.
Trump and the GOP are Ethically Bankrupt. The financial system needs support NOW.
Who want’s the 2020’s to be known as the Greatest Depresion….
The Trump supporters…they are blind…can”t…won’t …see what they are doing to this country…they just want the blonde clown in the White House !!!
Soren Ingram apparently the the senate republicans.
But what happened to “We must lockdown the economy because ‘lives are important, money ISN’T” Soooo money’s back to being important again?
@dave4248 You are misconstruing the point. People need to be financially supported while the medical actions are taken. So that all the small businesses can restart post shut down. And you don’t have tens of millions of people homeless.
And Trump whistles while “Rome” Burns
Banks too big to fail. American families, not so much.
Banks are American families. Even the Fed is.
ps.: LOVE your profile pic, btw!!
Bellsaint: My father ignored med expert and now he has COVID . It’s not worth following a president who has no remorse for leading his followers to an early grave. Pray for Louis Gomer and his daughter. Please forward to everywhere.
if your father had followed medical experts instead of bunker boy he might still be alive.bunker boy is NOT a medical expert!
600 people drank koolade for jim jones….just saying
And there’s another epidemic that’s going to knock people completely down hello
I never thought mad max was gonna become a reality. This is a absolute disaster, not going to be good at allllllll
Keep gas in the car….
All four countries with the highest COVID cases have right-wing, nationalistic, leaders who espouse anti-science ideas.
What are these anti-science ideas?
slappy91able for one, ignore it and it will go away. Lie about it and there will be zero consequences…run interference in the name of the party line. I can go on.
@slappy91able denial is the official right wing position on climate change in the US. I’m sure that has nothing to do with all the oil companies who donate to their campaigns, they probably just just disagree with 99% of scientists on religious grounds or something.
Cara, again, give us an example of an anti-science idea. I hardly think it was ignored. Can you give an example of it being ignored? I think it was Pelosi and Deblasio who encouraged people to mingle🤣
Dad Bod Envy, can you give an example of science being denied? I think the people who keep spreading this lie are merely trying to denounce someone’s religious beliefs. They’re just too cowardice to say it in the open. Again, give us an example.
Well, if Trump’s election starts with people evicted outside their homes and people building “Trumpvilles”, he’s gonna have a harder time getting himself elected.
Wrongo…much easier. No address, no ballot, no ballot, no vote, no vote, Trump again! Pure genius!
@Charles Reece They’ll be lining up at the voting boothes. They already lost their homes. They got nothing more to lose.
Banks making trillions repossessing homes, cars and businesses, America bailed them out not too long ago, maybe they should help out?
Lmao. Get out of your childhood my friend. It won’t help you here. Asking banks to help families. Lmao. Have you ever looked at an income statement?
ROTFLMAO….NEVER HAPPEN !!!
@Monsieur LaFlamme ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@MrArchangel73521 Pretty sure that’s the point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@Christopher DUH…I agreed with you !!!
Democrats want the water hose on full to put the fire out while Republicans want it on low to keep it smoldering.
I truly hope all these cold hearted, treasinest Republicans are voted out this November and that they are able to find some light in the their souls.
maybe when they lose their jobs they will have to file for unemployment
EVERYONE NEEDS TO REMEMBER THIS DURING ELECTION TIME. REMEMBER THE POLITICIANS THAT KEPT YOU FROM PAYING YOUR BILLS
👍👍👍 Vote GOP…OUT !!!
Some people are so dumb that they will lose their house, get on food snaps, have to go to food banks, get coronavirus and will still vote for Trump.
its time to stop paying taxes. they want us to go to school and work but we are supposed to stay home the rest of the time. how is that freedom? we are not being represented so we should not pay taxes
They wanted to allow you to return to work so you could pay your bills.
The rich get richer and the majority suffers… Sounds about right.. Corporate America 2020 with a lil splash of pandemic 😔
40 million adults will equal 80 million children homeless and hungry. End Trump’s era or civil war is likely…. Its way past scary
Perhaps the senators pay should be withheld let them experience what it is really like. To not be able to feed your children, pay your rent/mortgage…..they just do not understand people and real life!
Vote republicans out of office
Awesome and very insightful updates👍👏🏻✌ Well i will also say this here… No doubt the recent Covid-19 outbreak has done a lot of harm to humans and as well lead to high level of unemployment, i still strongly believe we can make good income mostly when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency and bitcoin trading still remain the first i will always advise. Reason because it’s been so successful for me since this outbreak when i took part in day trading with accurate trading signals and strategy provided by Richard Owen who is a pro trader with vast knowledge in crypto. During my first month I was able to achieve a total of 6.7btc having traded with my initial 1.1btc with Owen’s signals which you would agree is a very good profit. So i would advise everyone seeking to grow a strong portfolio to make use of such a profitable signals, Owen can be reach via Whatspp: +17142425448 and Telegram @ Richard_Owen for inquiries into profitable trading systems.
His signals are amazing and life changing
I have always been a staunch proponent for hodling but after trading with Owen help, i see it is so much more profitable
Special thanks to Owen, i now work just one job instead of 3 which i have worked for more than 2 years to cope with the financial burden on me. I use my extra time trading bitcoin now
Great of you to think to come up here and show keen appreciation to Mr Owen, I think he has worked quite hard enough for the recommendation
Richard Owen has also helped me grow my portfolio from 0.8 to 3 btc in two weeks. He is a genius trader
Lock them ALL in the “house” until they pass a good bill AND DON’T FEED THEM UNTIL THEY GET IT DONE!
I see that the 2 Trillion was squandered and US getting only 1% of that back around April.
Now both Parties are wasting the Tax Payers time on waiting. I feel the truth is going to come out with them saying, “They don’t have the money” to give to the American People because all this time they are covering up their lies. 🤥
Can i sue potus for declaring covid19 emergency and NOT funding our citizens’ daily living?
