A vote to advance a massive coronavirus stimulus bill failed Sunday night in the Senate as negotiations so far had yet to produce a deal on the more than $1 trillion aid package. Mika Brzezinski has the latest updates.

Coronavirus Stimulus Bill Fails In Senate, Sen. Paul Tests Positive | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Do as I say, Not as I do. Congress can go to the Gym and luncheons?
These country leaders don’t care about their own. They don’t gaf if you live or die
Of course! Don’t you know? The politicians are all a bunch of lying pieces of garbage. They all scratch each others back and consider the rest of us just peasants.
Yeah it’s a psy-op…NWO is coming for us all..No more driving cars unless you have a note saying you can….
oftenlucid and they get free health care for life after serving one term…..not Medicare for us second class folks but genuine top shelf care.
oftenlucid Why was the gym & pool open? Ours are all closed in NY NJ & PA
WOW! This just keeps getting worse and worse, how do we have senate members not following the simple rules that everyone else has to follow. if symptom were serious enough to get a test (that most people cant even get) he should have been isolating himself.
They make laws to control not follow
trump said this is a hoax and the trumpubli cons all fell in line chanting yes boss, yes boss.
@Diane Owen and now thousands are doing to die
So we the people pay more taxes on everything we buy, sell and earn to give bail out and tax breaks to corporations (people). Same PEOPLE use that money to buy back stocks (that’s the pump). Have a CEO exodus of 2019, with stocks at all time highs. No longer obligated to hold x amount of stocks. Sell or “wipe out” ( as the media likes to say) 11.5 trillion in a month. Except that money doesn’t disappear, it’s withdrawn into personal accounts. That’s the dump. Now give them your taxes to bail out their companies again 🤣😂 while you don’t even get universal health & education, decent roads etc. The zombie apocalypse been happened. 👁👽👾🦠 imagine how all nations would obey… I mean work together to fight a foreign enemy. 😂🤣😂 Make Americans brave again or continue to be “home” of the slave, land of the fiends. Keep sleeping 😴🤫🤣
Ah I wanted to say it but didn’t want to write all that. That’s exactly right my friend same as 2008.
Lydia Bell doesn’t matter who you vote for if you’re not lobbying…
Thank you. Most people don’t understand that.
@Lydia Bell Bernie is too extreme, and there are no socialists in the Senate if he becomes President. He wouldn’t be able to accomplish a thing. As for which candidate we “get” – that is determined by the PEOPLE – the voters decide who the candidate will be, and the voters want Biden.
@omi god I agree with 90% of your statement, except the part where you call Bernie a socialist. Most modern countries in the world, including Canada and Mexico, are now a blend of capitalism and socialism. In these countries, the basic needs of all citizens are met. Bernie represents a progressive agenda not socialism. Pure Capitalism in the U $ A is dying, because it mainly represents the rich, not all citizens.
Sadly, I think a senator had to test positive for them to start taking this seriously
Most people who test positive are not sick.
Nospam Spamisham Are you a doctor or virologist?, there is a reason people test positive, they are carrying the virus, it may not attack the individual or go contagious for weeks. This kind of attitude or believe is what kills people and makes quarantine and isolating the virus more difficult – the non believers – go ask the Italians. Besides, test are not available to the general public, unless you have symptoms and your doctor prescribes it. But doctors offices are closed and hospitals are full and turn you away. Don’t insult the intelligence of trained educated people with your ignorance.
izzem so very very very true, however, this time around “the wealthy” might not like just out of hand it will get. I heard the bill for some relief was held up because five Senators were under quarantine and the votes must be placed in person on the Senate floor, that is a crime when the nation is so desperate. It is getting difficult to wait on 5 people who have the destiny of 300 million people lives at state. Be well…
Traci Hawkins Fu#k your “source” how about every fu#king News media. I guess you are too high and mighty to listen or read news. Go test yourself, maybe you have it – then come back with your fu#king source. You must be a dumass Dumbocrat . I’ll give a a source – ITALY.
LZ129 Brazil well aren’t you a little ray of sunshine 😏 Once again you ASSume things about people that you don’t know. I’m not a Democrat. I’m a facts person and Christina provided none. Just ASSumtions based on what? 🤷🏼♀️ Her right wing media that tells her everything is someone else’s fault just never a Republicans? Maybe see which comment I liked and where I asked my questions. I have a BA in Biology (meaning I took courses like Epidemiology, Microbiology, etc.) I like my science and my facts and if you don’t provide them don’t ask me to believe your statement.
Unbelievable. The USA is literally dying because of blatant stupidity and criminal level negligence.
@robert hicks November.
@Robert Downes political parties agendas.
@Tyrade Shift Lol..ok kiddo
@John Cahillso only Republicans are dying from covid19 cause there believing what the president says? You make no sense kid
It’s that witch Pelosi
Every country has made mistakes. But the US takes the cake. Social neglect over decades will eventually catch up and reveal America to be the least developed country in the world. Republicans pretended to be pro-democracy and pro-capitalism. But a constant anti-people, pro-rich policy is the opposite of democracy and capitalism.
well lets see how the old rich do when the cleaners cooks and staff with no healthcare who cannot afford time off turn up to work infecting the boss.. because it does not matter how good your health insurance is when all the ventilators are in use with younger healthier people with a much better chance of survival.. I hope trump pence mcTurtle all get this and die quick and Nancy can sort this mess out fast for the sake of Americans.. so many will die while they play games.
That is what Capitalism is all about
Democrats would rather millions died than Trump getting any credit for anything
@andrew chambers yep.
@Lydia Bell You mean the Jeff Bezos that is employing thousands of laid off workers? Oh yeah definitely stop being enslaved.
Virus: what’s your name?
Rand: Rand
Virus: Rand?
Rand: Yea
Virus: ok you’re getting infected
LOL nice
Rand: you can’t do to me.
You got 53 thumbs up on your 2nd grade humor attempt. Kudos.
@100101mint mint101001 Lame. Just F’n lame. Grow up.
The only virus I see is Nancy Pelosi
You can’t even eat the rich because they may be contaminated.
@Kelly Buck wait. How are they to rince without water on? Ok… step 3, turn water back on with elbows so as to not contaminate hands, step 4, rince hands .step 5 Dry hands.
Color Me Beauty Full
Thats…part of the joke…
MVVpro Plenty of the Dems eat babies.
Yes, but my cat could.
At least it would stop indecision’s from occurring. Find the problem… go to the source and remove the whole plant or it’ll keep growing back causing problems
Spring breakers are coming home soon. Good luck grandma.
@DrSnausage I want to know
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way I’m praying for all of them
@Zach Y well, if you can’t plow, and pull weeds. There’s not
Much left. These are the true
Truth. Not gods wisdom, but
Wisdom just the same.
Semper verum compare the numbers with the flu. This things been going on since before January so let’s be realistic about the numbers. Less testing = less infected but a higher death rate. More testing= more infected people but a higher survival and recovery rate. So how do we wanna play this game?
Wow you fit right in with the loser…Morning Joe Show. Full of hate!
I live in Bavaria, and last week Minister Soeder in addition to a lockdown he informed small business owners and freelance worker to get an immediate amount between 5000 and 30,000 Euros, depending on the size of the business. He emphasized that this is NOT a loan but a gift. Bavaria’s town squares and towns are literally empty today.
Yeah the free money thing is weird…Road to communism?? Free is never really free….
@CorkKNIFE state bonds and other taxes will be reverted and those money will be used and tax on it will go back again to state.
@Willy S Oh, so the government gives me $1, I spend it and give back $0.2 in tax.
The government gives me another $1, I spend it and give back $0.2 in tax.
The government gives yet another $1, I spend it and give back $0.2 in tax.
Where does the government keep getting the other $0.8?
Is it like magic?
@CorkKNIFE tax on business and salary for the workers. That’s how they keep money floating around. If you don’t buy something, then business will not make nothing
@Willy S I’ll stop here because you are not following.
If the government keeps giving you 100 cents but only receives 20 cents back, it will eventually run out of money.
The Senate gym and cafeteria should have been closed!!!
Conspiracy theory: Paul is doing Trump’s bidding so whole house is suspended until further notice and Trump takes full control.
@Mandy Last haven’t you figured it out yet? They ARE above the LAW. They MAKE the LAWS they expect US to follow, but they DO NOT apply to THEM. Everyone of them know it’s Easy Street once in office. That’s why they run for Office.
@cindi quivey I recommend finding your locally *essential business* liquor store and “bottling” in all of those emotions 😄😂😅🤣
@Mandy Last well…I doubt that they’ll be swimming and working out tomorrow. Rand should be quRANteened to the swimming pool for 2 weeks.
@Chris Carter Good point, if he likes the swimming pool so much to go with coronavirus, then he should just stay there.
The fact that they didn’t change the rules and go into a congressional quarantine just boggles my mind.
Michael Minugh Pelosi should be thrown out of office turning down a stimulus package, you think she cares about Americans? How can you be so lost?
Emelia Onichi You none have any minds to boggle Pelosi dummies.
@Grey Slate I’m not a Pelosi fan myself, but the stimulus bill was written so that companies could take the stimulus money and still fire workers instead of giving them the money. Maybe an oversight. But if they’re gonna pass a stimulus bill, I sure hope it’s one that can put money into the pockets of struggling Americans, and not just give it to the companies.
Youtube video: “Event 201 Global Pandemic” (by Amazing Polly).
@Grey Slate You want companies to just take money for stock buybacks, executive pay while firing American workers? That is what they did with the Trump tax cut.
Look at the reason Pelosi blocked it, do you really think we need to give more money to the richest right now? They already gave the stock market 1.5 trillion and it did nothing.
My question is why is there a Senate gym and swimming pool and cafeteria and barber shop and on and on?
Paid for by your tax dollars. So much waste!
security reasons would be my guess
Cause ever since the Federal Reserve was created, they have been stealing us blind….
Because your tax money
There should be a golf course so our tax dollars aren’t spent on $600 rooms for secret service, 1 million plus per wknd making an elected/nominated official profiting shamelessly
Why does it seem like most of our leaders now have no common sense. Shocking.
Common sense is at a premium. The fact that we still have a stooge as president doesnt say good things about the state of things. A country supporting a president who opens up national parks so they can be pillaged, lowers the clean air and water standards so people are poisoned, pardons dead people and criminals because he can, offends and alienates our allies, cuts funding to states of opposing party because they oppose him, set up concentration camps, wa nt to cut food stamps during an epidemic, allies himself with the most gratuitously oppressive leaders on earth, uses the united states for his own financial gain, shut down the center for disease control and so we were unprepared for this pandemic. He grudgingly responded to public need and wants to walk away from it. He makes a better door stop than a human being. What a sad commentary that he and his surrounding refuse are allowed to stay and operate their corruption unimpeded or at all
@whoah Rlly she can’t, hate blinders on like a race horse, so not to get off Trump hate agenda.
@SpikersButchers Most sane people don’t like socialism. Socialism, the system that rewards the lazy at the expense of the achievers. From those according to their ability, to those who cant seem to figure out how to be successful in life. Socialism, the system that has contributed to the deaths of 100s of millions of people through out history. By the way, the bill is about giving money directly to the workers. Nancy is about taking her sweet time and allow the people to wait and suffer as she pushes for tax credit for solar panels.
It isn’t the Rand Paul they are using him as their example to aggravate the public. They don’t know the truth. It is their sloppy tacky opinion which means nothing. Not many watch them because there is nothing to learn here but hate.
@joskemom ok Karen stfu. What you said was crap. We’re living in america where socialism is only ok when it’s for the rich. How is that money going to come back to us? We keep our jobs? Well Karen if you’ve seen this in history like 08, you’d know all these corporations took the money, got bailed out, bought back their stocks, and never paid it back. All while providing minimum wage jobs
Hey politicians, stay quarantined!!! You have already showed how unprepared you were to real life problems!! 🌎🌎🙌🙌🌍
Senate Gym, Senate lunch, Senate pool? Sounds like that senates live in a boarding school!
Al G…same thing in congress man, multiple democrat staffers tested positive and pill poppin nancy did close down congress.
Rand Paul is a disgrace to my Republican party. A disgrace like McCain and the ones that sold their stocks..
@Aramis3737 Democrats ride in the same boat.
To be fair a lot of companies have canteens and gyms in house
Dinner
Holdup. They have a senate swimming pool?
J G haven’t you heard about the White House building a grad pavilion tennis court on the grounds of the White House.
Got a problem with that, slave?
Time to get huge! You actually sound like the slave, a slave to stupidity
Yes and a gym how about that and free lunch great gathering rite.
yes JG…isn’t it the same one “Sleepy Joe” used to swim naked in front of female secret service agents?
It baffles me that they’re blaming democrats for the blocking of the bill, when the republicans still hold majority in the senate.
@pandasniper1 If your landlord kicks you out now, who is he going to get to move in and pay rent? One of the Chinese guys trump sold and EB-5 to?
@Constituent A If a tenant cannot pay the rent why would a landlord keep him in his place. Would you move someone into your house if the person does not pay you rent. The person can try to get someone who can pay rent even in a trying time. Your logic is definitely demtard level. the house owner/apartment still has to pay for having the property in the first place. Oh wait you demtards dont own property, you feed off of what others give you
@pandasniper1 “Would you move someone into your house if the person does not pay you rent?” LOL, I have kids.
No idea where you live, but the neighborhoods where workers have been ordered to stay home don’t have people anxiously waiting for an apartment to move into, or first, last and security to get it. We’re pretty much all in this together. All anyone needs to get by until we get a handle on this is food and toilet paper. Keeping the grocery stores open for this purpose is foolish if the spread of the disease is so easy. Drop ship t.p. and MREs for two weeks and be done with this crap.
@Constituent A if you have kids you should also understand how horrible it would be if you were removed for not paying rent because maybe on the off chance the owner could find someone who needs a house. Property owners still have to pay for it even when you dont pay rent. Owning property is not free. Government always needs to collect. If you dont pay rent you are now a cost on them, and you could also destroy the house costing them even more money. Ps i have kids as well, dont use kids as shields.
@pandasniper1 don’t worry the giant companies won’t go under. They have assets to leverage for loans, they don’t need another no strings bailout for CEOs to give themselves a raise with like they always do with bailouts. And a blank check to the treasury department for oil companies. 1,200 per tennant for landlords to raise rent to get. Very glad that was stopped
“Everyone” is not doing their part. I see a lot of people hanging out groups and coughing all over stores.
@CopyRightStrikeZ_Bandit and about 55 minutes.
@Mark Grudt Lol….that’s because drugs and violence made 2/3 of the population flee years ago. Whole sections of the city have had water, sewer and electricity shut off and are abandoned. The local government wants to bulldoze half the city but doesn’t have the funds.
@CopyRightStrikeZ_Bandit so the sheeple are those that don’t obey the news? Good one.
Lords of Media tha sheep is u. China made it, and they downplayed its severity. U didn’t geT tha memo..?
I kissed the mailman yesterday…He seemed to like it…
Why pay taxes to the Federal Government?, when The Federal Government is killing people by its inaction.
Its the democrats that will not pass the bill.
Honest Opinion it’s the rotten democrats
@Biblgrl Yep. These people are absolutely horrible. The only reason they won’t agree is because they hate Trump. Plain and simple.
