GOP Leaders, Trump Forming Relief Bill With Focus On Getting People Back To Work | MSNBC

    1. soooo, they’re like Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham? Makes perfect sense, I can hear Trump crying “MUMMY!” and sucking his thumb.

  1. What is the purpose of meeting with the president when he doesn’t listen to what anyone thinks?🤔

    1. 🤔Drumpf has never been listening to you, not even before he was elected president… He’s said many times that he and he alone is the solution!🤔

  2. The economy shut down because of the pandemic.
    And now t’rump wants everyone to go back to work even though he’s given up on fixing the original reason why we shut down? 🤔
    That’s some real Stable Genius logic right there! 😆😅😂🤣

    1. @A C Dr. Scott Atlas calculates there are more years of life lost due to the lockdown, than to the virus. George Floyd for one.

    2. @Jeff Gibson okay so you say that a lockdown would produce more than 2 mio deaths… interesting. Not talking about the long term issues that become more evident day by day in those who survive the virus. America is obliterating itself and it is scary to watch…

    3. @Thomas Benck did you know Dr. Zelenko reports a 99.3% cure rate among his 2200 patients who were treated in the first five days? My doctor said he will prescribe the same for me if I need it. Cool!

    4. @A C 500 blue counties are obliterating themselves and it’s fun to watch. Out here in the red counties, it’s summer time and it’s beautiful.. I think I’ll take a drive to the Blue Mountains of Oregon if the facilities ore open.

    5. @Jeff Gibson Dude, i never ever heard of either this Dr. Atlas or this Dr. Zelenko that you’re citing here, but if what they’re saying diverges so much from what the majority of scientists all over the world (who certainly are peer reviewed, so you can bet that if they get something wrong someone WILL come out and contest that) are reporting, they sure can’t be all that trustworthy in the first place if you ask me.
      If you want to take hydroxichloroquine or some other quack cure like this Dr. Zelenko seems to offer, that’s entirely your call, just don’t expect anybody to agree with all the BS you’re trying to spread.

  3. Republicans are great at whining & playing victim, but can’t govern to save their, or more importantly, any of our lives.

    1. @Scott Allen I guarantee they’re lying they say it or not is irrelevant giving amnesty to 20 million illegals is a big green flag come on inn
      And by the way you might ask Governor blabbing nuisance what he thinks he’s handing out tax dollars from our citizens to illegals
      And what have they done on immigration reform absolutely nothing
      Actions speak louder than words

    2. @Gregg I personally think that Republican states should man up and practice what they preach, NO public assistance. Pull themselves up by their bootstraps,and stop taking handouts.

  4. If Trump wants people to go back to work then the company should be liable if someone spreads coronavirus throughout the company.

    1. @hhhh9579 American politics is just so much fun! In this Chris Wallace interview Trump bragged about his “cognitive test” (which in reality was a dementia test btw). And, hey!, he’s proud that he can tell the difference between a snake and an elephant! A very stable genius! How proud you Americans must be! 😂🤣😂

    2. Bruce THANK YOU these companies should be held ACCOUNTABLE for their employees safety especially against this SOB COVIN 19. So let me understand this you’re suppose to endanger yourself, family, friends and anyone you come in contact with lives so the company will have a decent quarter…yeah that’s not happening.

      The government knows they have to TEST per capita, TRACK cases at least close to 90% NOT 10% and ISOLATE. STOP with the DISINFORMATION and start listening and put the friggin HEALTH EXPERTS and other PERTINENT agencies in CHARGE to tackle this PANDEMIC. Until this is done AMERICA will NOT SEE anything resembling NORMALCY AGAIN !!!

    3. @hhhh9579 ‘what does other countries have to do with United States ?’ Good one…the US has stuck its nose in every other country for decades. Too funny, most American’s can’t take or accept people calling out your failures, yet willing to point their ego finger.

  5. You call them Leaders? I think Sycophantic treasonous opportunists fits them much better. They are choosing party over country by willingly supporting our wannabe Dear Leader.

    1. @Rod In your dreams, Trump slave. It’s fun to watch your side losing. It must be very painful for you.

  6. A Payroll tax cut does nothing for those of us who lost our jobs b/c Trump couldn’t be depended on to do his!
    Trump Failed to Protect America

    1. @Zk – Did you know that N.Y. residents pay $1,216 in fed taxes for every $1 they receive in funding?
      Yet … Kentucky residents receive $5,984 in funding for every $1 they pay in fed taxes.

      OR

      CA residents pay $348 in federal taxes for every $1 they receive in federal funding.
      Yet … Alaska residents receive $6,355 in funding for every $1 they pay in fed taxes.

      That’s called welfare where I come from.

    2. @Zk – It’s also called socialism … aka communism. Check it out. 9 of the 10 states with the highest poverty levels are red states. Blue states that drive this economy are keeping them afloat. So many socialists in tRump county.

    3. @Aaron Zovko You might be interested in this article. It was written in 2012 – “The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.

      When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges.

  7. Moscow Mitch wearing a tan suit? Didn’t all the Republicans blow a gasket over Obama wearing a tan suit?
    Couldn’t help myself 😈

    1. @Charnese Mccleave Ya getting stuff done with ruining the country but not to worry, the great Cheeto has undone most of Obama’s harm now. 4 more years and things will be awesome.

    2. @mike mann songs Sorry, the GOP is busy watching you maggots burn down your own cities and murdering your own children. Although murdering innocent children is a natural for you liberals.

  8. Basically a meeting to cut the payroll tax in order to gut Social Security once and for all and of course, to loot what’s left of the Treasury. That is the Republican plan.

  9. The only reason they are proposing $3T in relief. Is so they can skim from the top. Just like they did with the last round.

    1. We already have proof that Trump and Mnucian and turtle neck are skimming off the top, don’t we?

    1. Ronda Leistiko Apparently you do baby🥰… What are you doing tonight… Ever hooked up with a republican?

  10. ” What if we just send everyone who dosen’t work to Puerto Rico.” -Trump

    Does he think Puerto Rico is a prison colony.?

    1. Trying to explain where Puerto Rico is
      “This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean—and it’s a big ocean, a really, really big ocean,” Trump said as reported by The Independent

    2. Please share just one fact where Trump ever said that Fuckstain.
      You won’t because you can’t.

    1. Want to see the markets fall? If the unemployment boost isn’t passed it’ll fall fast and hard. Stock market right now is thriving on the stimulus as it’s feeding the markets. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. He also pleases suburban Moms who want their safety back. He also pleases classical liberals who believe in freedom of speech and who know the Constitution was almost perfect from the start. He also pleases young minority workers trying to hang onto their first real job.

    3. Jeff Gibson you sound like a flat Earther anti vaxxer no mask wearing super spreader. I live in the a upper class area of San Diego and there are more “Black Lives Matter” signs than Tesla’s. Go on vacation. You need to travel. You’ve been watching Alex Jones too much. You’re dangerous to America and Americans. 😷

    4. @Jeff Gibson Nobody believes that crap. It’s fun to watch your side losing. It must be very painful for you.

  11. So is this why they gave 5 Billion to the Airlines, so the airlines could turn around and lay off 36,000 workers?
    So United Airlines gets 5 Billion in “corporate welfare” for COVID, and then they lay off 36,000 people…
    Why not just pay 5 Billion unemployment to 36,000 people? That would be $138,000 per person… I’d bet that would float them for a while… 🙂

    1. Here in Germany both paying big companies and paying 60% of the salary of those who have no work right now… high taxes seem to benefit us a nation just well right now…

    2. @A C Yea, instead of airlines “running off with Billions in profits” each year , then when times get hard, head for a taxpayer backed Corporate Socialists bail out of 5 Billion dollars… How about have them pay into their own “unemployment insurance” on the order of %15 of annual profits to buffer against hard times….

    3. How about giving everyone with Social Security number 5 shares of United Airlines for every Million in bailout money.

    4. ​@Whitney Mohrhauser Now that’s a great “stock buyback” plan… Run it up the chain and let’s make Capitalism start working for those that make capitalism work…

  12. Weren’t the GOP ready to lynch Obama for wearing the same suit that Mitch McConnell is wearing today?

    1. Doug Schaufele
      you and this other nitwit Laura Lafauve who commented later than you think a like. Just worried about suits LOL

    1. @Ginger Nightmare Goes with economics as well? Did you really say that? Since when has the study of the scarcity of goods and services been some kind of an evil?

  13. Now that he controls the Covid death statistics he will try to force people back to work in unsafe conditions by lying about the numbers. That will fail.

    1. Don’t you worry Fuckstain. No work for you. Food stamps and welfare checks are still coming . Trumps got you loser.

  14. “Trump Forming Relief Bill?” Take 6 tacos, a bucket of KFC, 20 Diet Cokes smothered in chocolate cake. That’s Baby Donnie’s diaper-loading relief bill…
