  1. The longer these “negotiations” take, the more people are starving so use whatever emergency power to push this bill along by next week. His Presidency and the Georgia run off races rested on this promise. Act now!

    1. @Power corrupts   bullshirt !!!! Wearing a mask and distancing is a good idea in theory , but this is the first time that it has been tried, ….. Thats just hyperbole. 90 percent of the deaths could have been prevented by following the cdc guidelines. You should wear a mask to be considerent to the paranoid people in crowded situations but. Being in crowded situations isnt going by the guidelines either is it….
      I have no plan to comply with any mandate ordered by the current resident of the white house , you do whatever you think best.. But with a virus that only has a .2 to .3 mortality rate . im done wearing a mask for my own protection…
      Read fast , im being censored because my views dont match you tubes agenda…

    2. @Seventh Son Garage Wearing a mask helps to keep you from spreading the virus to others. It is the speed at which it spreads throughout the population that is the problem. If we all agree to wear masks and practice social distancing during a thirty day time period, we could stop it and save many lives, and prevent significant economic damage.

    3. @Power corrupts ive seen no evidence to support that and about 300 thousand cases that say you are wrong.
      If you feel that you are right then you should wear a mask .
      Its that simple. I believe that ive already explained my thoughts and why i think so. You have stated your beliefs but youve shown me nothing of why you believe it. I would have to put you in that category, ill wear one out of respect for you in a crowded room. but outside of that , i value living my life free …..

    4. @Seventh Son Garage There is a significant amount of scientific evidence that proves mask wearing, social distancing, washing hands, etc. Slows down the rate of transmission throughout the population.
      You can shed the virus without showing symptoms for several days. This is what makes it so dangerous.
      This was all evident last February after the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency. But very few countries took action.

    1. Let me guess, your President (Prime Minister?) a year ago wasn’t a former reality TV person and failed real estate developer?

  2. Economic relief should go straight to families.
    We all need to practice these preventive measures at the same time or it won’t work.
    Stay at home if you can. Wear a mask when you go out. Wash your hands frequently. Practice social distancing.
    It is the speed at which the virus spreads throughout the population that is the problem.
    The virus can be stopped if we shut everything down at the same time.
    We have the highest number of cases and deaths because there was never a nationwide coordinated response.

  3. What happened to the COVID death count ticker at the bottom of the screen? For some reason MSNBC stopped showing it since Biden is in office. I depend on that ticker to tell me how scared I should be.

    1. @Tessmage Tessera Good thing we have democrat lowlife Yellen. She’s made 7.2 million in speaking fees aka steal from the poor protect the rich. She runs Treasury thanks to Biden ahhh the good life.

  4. this briefings cost $800,000 each, and yellen deserves every cent… how dare you doubt it??? she is a very capable WOMAN, so shut up…

    1. Give me a break. 22 of Trump’s secretaries were millionaires, centimillionaires and billionaires. Trump himself is a billionaire and made $1 billion+ during his time in office. The damning accusations made today of him getting saved by the Russians financially just adds to it all

      Since when did you guys care so much about all this? Why didn’t you guys speak about this before?

    2. @Ace who said I didn’t? Why do you assume because criticize Yellen haven’t criticized others on opposing party? Let me just assume the reason is because that’s how successful the media has been at pushing individuals further from the center for profit. Divisiveness = Ad dollars

    3. @Ace l Who cares she’s been paid 7.2 million in speaking fee’s alone. Aka cover for courrpt democrats she’s been doing it since Clinton days. Trumps secretaries weren’t CHAIR OF FEDERAL RESERVE AND NOW TREASURY SECRETARY! Trump’s business owners and bankers investors. Biden crew politicians got rich in politics not business well they turned it into a business. Lol Russia again oh boy never ends

    4. @Vanessa Rode getting paid to do speeches while not in office is not illegal, nor is it any indication of corruption. That’s how former government officials make money while not in office. They share their expertise with communities in exchange with money(books, speeches, etc.), it’s a common practice. The FBI, the Senate, the IRS, Biden’s team all vetted her. If she had done anything illegal, they would’ve known it then and there, or she wouldn’t have even accepted the position knowing it could compromise her.

      I will say this however, they 100% need to have her sit out for the time being until this whole stock situation gets sorted out so that she doesn’t show any bias

    5. @Ace lol the fbi vetted her that’s hilarious. They literally get direct phone calls about problems and drop more balls then armless basketball players. No one said it was illegal what it is special interests. Back in government so now she gets to care for those that paid extremely high talking fee’s. Dirty hilary made boat loads doing the same thing. Heck even old joe and he can barely talk.
      Agreed she has to take a side seat. I’m stocked up on GME and AMC. Now that big talking fee will come back as regulations on us not them. Just keep an eye on it.

  5. Why is John Kerry offering EU 2Trillion to buy “green tech” while Americans are locked down and having their jobs EOed out of existence? Money printer go brrr…

    1. I worked for Americorps when I was a kid,, was in a program that focused on retro fitting and green energy. We took a solar class with pg&e. Talked with the manager of pg&e solar program directly. He told me they have a solar panel that runs at 80% efficiency AND had the capability of harvesting ambient radiation at night… I guess the story is the patent was bought and dumped because it was to efficient.

  6. They should reah out to the small business and restaurants eapecially the ones that have already closed and help them restore or reopen there buisnes
