  1. Americans should impeach Moscow Mitch with their votes and bankrupt him by taking him and his corrupt wife to court

    1. You think the courts are honest? You don’t think he’ll just get a pardon? There is no justice in this country anymore. It’s the sad truth, nothing I have seen recently would indicate otherwise.

    2. I live in Kentucky and I would love to say we got this. Truth is Moscow Mitch has lots of money to buy votes.💙🌊🤞

    1. LOL No they won’t. You underestimate the predictability of stupidity. The right will continue to vote for their pro-corporation, bible-thumping politicians just like left will continue to vote for their pro-rioting, pro-looting politicians.
      The ONLY thing that would bring both sides together is an attack from a foreign power, and then…maybe.

    2. @riffle queen I second that. Ben Dover, there’s a difference between right-wing fantasies of a sky-god ruler who communes with Trump (especially one of their specific blue-eyed gun-toting white-supremist-espousing variety, but I haven’t seen evidence of ANY gods, just sayin’ with a hung G) and their greed-based winner-take-all rat-race economic philosophy versus the left’s protesting just so cops don’t get a pass after shooting us, or choking us to death.

    1. @Doug E oh I agree. They don’t lie. But I supported Bernie Sanders and they can omit and spin pretty good. I don’t trust them 100% but I do trust them a lot more than Fox or Breightbart and the like.

    2. Doug E let people continue to call it fake, you just protect yourself and your family… ( COVID-19) is not real , it’s a hoax… lol. No one is dying and all the news rooms are lying except for FOX…. lol…

    3. @Mad Hatman exactly. When I first heard about a “BERNIE BLACKOUT” I started looking around, taking note, and I found there were YANG, Tulsi and M4A backouts as well. Spin and omit, never outright lie.

    1. @shade38211 preeeeeeetttttttyyyy sure they were working on legislation even then.
      “No Republican requested a proxy ballot and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy led a group of 21 GOP representatives and four constituents in filing suit against Pelosi, House Clerk Cheryl Johnson and House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving in federal district court in Washington to block Democrats from voting in absentia.”
      Try reading the article you cite.

    2. @shade38211 National guard just detained who? Are you still talking about Pelosi or have you wandered off on to another unrelated subject like an alzheimer patient? What does that clip have to do with anything on this thread?

    1. Doug E they do not see it the same way.

      They believe smart people deserve everything, and they believe that what moral people call cheating, they call being smart. It is only cheating if you get caught, and can’t find a way out.

      Anyone dumb enough to play by the rules deserves to lose.

    2. STOP GIVING PPP LOANS TO THE LIKES: KANYE WEST , PF CHANG, DR. PHIL, MITCH MCCONNELL FAMILY, PENCE FAMILY AND PLENTY OF OTHER FILTHY RICH PEOPLE. IT SHOULD GO TO THOSE WHO “DESERVE IT” WHO “WORK” FOR IT!!!!! REMEMBER TO VOTE!!! PLEASE.

  2. America is finally in agreement.
    Donald J. Trump is the WORST president in the entire history of the United States of America!

    1. Obama was by far, the worst. President Trump has been the best, in spite of the Coronavirus the Chinese threw on the U.S..

    2. @God_Laughs _At_Atheists i presume you can read. every report or poll shows Obama was & is head & shoulder above Trump, even in height. obama’s record of successes speaks for itself. The Chinese threw nothing on the USA. Trump called it a HOAX & everything worn by Trump to include his freakishly long ties are made in China to include Ivanka’s trade marks from China. get a clue, clown. Do You remember when Trump was praising China for the great job they were doing controlling the virus? He was played by China as he was by Kim Of N.Korea, Turkey & the KGB agent from Russia. We won’t forget on 3 November 2020. He blocked China from entering after 40K had already entered & totally ignored Europe & allowed it to enter from across the Atlantic. Thanks to Trump, we are now blocked from entering the EU. Are you tired of winning yet?🤡

    3. @God_Laughs _At_Atheists Amazing! You moron bigot clowns are always the bible thumpers.😂🤣🤢Not unlike the pedophile priests preaching family values.

  3. Would this be a good time to remind everyone that Lindsey Graham said it would be “over his dead body” that they’d extend these unemployment benefits? Well, his and the 65,000 Americans who have died since he said that in April, I guess.

    1. Only the ones who are still stupid enough to think that it is Washington’s responsibility to look out for them.

  4. If people aren’t going back to work because they’re making $600/week, the solution is to raise the minimum wage.

    1. If Only.. been hoping and praying for that forever!! It is the right thing to do and that’s why they don’t do it!

    2. With a name like yours I didn’t want to agree with you. But here I am giving you both a like and a comment and hating myself just a little bit more.

  5. Remember , Those Workers PAY into that Unemployment Fund. It’s their money. Maybe they should get paid more to begin with. Can you imagine the lawsuits ,if Daycares open and the kids get Sick or die????

    1. THANK YOU!! I’ve been paying into unemployment my entire life. I’ve lost my job, and now I need it. It’s MY money. So please don’t make me feel like a welfare scammer for taking it. It’s disgusting. They need to extend the federal payments, too, to avoid mass homelessness and a full on depression.

  6. At this point you have to be extremely challenged to believe anything Benedict Donald and his administration utters

  7. Don’t believe the lies!
    There is and has been enough money for
    #MEDICAREFORALLAMERICANCITIZENS
    UBI, TESTING, USPS, voting by mail
    Reroute American money to AMERICANS

  8. However it’s also keeping better social distancing by ppl staying home on their unemployment than going back to work simply bc they have to have an income but still don’t feel it’s safe to return to work

  9. If unemployment psyment are higher than salaries, it could mean that salaries are just too LOW!!

    1. Or it could mean that the salaries are simply a reflection of the skill set that the employee brings to the table.

    2. @Ben Dover Or it could mean that salaries are too low. Workers have been increasingly viewed as an expendable commodity. Something that this pandemic has called into question. One of the few benefits out of this situation.

  10. I wanna know how tf the Senate gets to keep their jobs when they’ve refused to work for YEARS. Mitch has HUNDREDS of bills on his desk and refuses to work and its SICK!

  11. 2 points. 1, if you choose 4 months of decent pay over long-term employment then i wish you the best. And 2, if unemployment benefits are higher than a jobs regular pay, I think that says more about how ridiculously low minimum wage is in this country than anything else…. God help us.

  12. By the end of this there should no longer be a Republican Party. I’m hoping every single Republican politician is infected with Co-Vid 19….I don’t want them to die I want them to suffer.

    1. Joan Meijer: Believe me they will suffer if we all unite to vote them out of office. For them it’s all about money and power and the loss of it will be far more painful than catching the virus. They will be pariahs with no place to go because nothing says defeat louder than when the nation retires the gravy train.
