Rep. Swalwell Expresses Hope In New Stimulus Bill Passing | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. Mitch kept over 200 House on his desk to die. That’s why he referred to himself as the grim reaper of the Senate.

    2. He is the Grim Reaper in reference to killing everything that would help the most people. If he doesn’t force himself to do something soon, he’ll actually be responsible for killing people.

  1. The accomplishments of our forebears contrast mightily with today’s international dysfunctions. Our will to problem solve in the service of common civilization has eroded under the corrosive influence of throw-away luxuries and the intentional subversion of education to the demands of profiteer capitalism and corporate welfare. I am not optimistic for my grandchildren. This is heartbreaking.

  2. Good: Protect citizens from Selfish, Self entitled people who won’t Follow The Simple Global Pandemic Rules!!!

    1. @Brother Sanguinary Trump has no problem with protests but he has problem with liberals and commies smashing up communities. Democrats they say hey shut your business down, but is okay to protest because kung flu will take the knee for poor George and you all be safe.

    1. ya know it should be considered a crime..how he’s. totally mishandled neglected and done to this country. yes the virus was gonna happen and deaths would occur..but if he would of acted on it fr9m the beginnings thousands would still have their lives..but he has his and that’s all that must matter to him. getting rid of the PANDEMIC TEAM.and not following guidelines….no excuses!!!!! it’s on DONALD TRUMP!!!

    2. I’m voting trumpviris45 out! Cancelling Any one that votes for the trumpviris45! That makes me feel good. One down!!! VOTE too Big to Rig! Bury trumpviris45 under All those blue ballots! We can do this together, We have the Power Together! Show up and vote, please!

  3. From my pov, even if they don’t pass the $1200 stimulus payment this round, I hope they urgently take care of eviction and unemployment.

    1. @Fantasy Football I hear you but this isn’t how taxes currently work in the states or anywhere around the world. By your logic, people that pay more taxes should be getting more of the unemployment or other stimulus payments from the government. It’s another topic to discuss whether this is fair or not but not everyone has the ability or has been given the opportunity and environment to contribute equally to the total taxes.

    2. Fantasy Football cool to disagree but who asked to loose there job? They so go and get a job but not everyone worked or want to work in fast food or a hotel. It’s our money too and now we need to take some out the bank it’s a issue.

    3. LBC02 Gaming I agree ..I’m a Nurse.with over 25 years experience under my belt, why would I go and work in a field I’m not trained in?

    4. @Fantasy Football everyone unemployed is not getting that type of money; in fact unfortunately I know a lot of people in Florida who didn’t even receive the 600 ever & are only getting 275 a week & their jobs are closed so now they have to do fast food, stores for minimum wage just to feed their family & keep a roof over their head while Trump golf’s on their taxpaying dollars. That’s b.s.

    1. blame trump (80%i fail of this is his – he’ll never acknowledge math) for his asshattery.
      but the under-30 “WOOHOO” beach crowd is abjectly stupid – but thanks for pushing dead people.
      bc less people over 40 is (ahem) “cool” as the kids say now
      (curious how trump’s “unilateral” plan will work. if only bc trump is using “unilateral” incorrectly. and the the “woohoo” beach idiots won’t care.)

    2. If the state get’s blanket liabilities from covid, and the feds get blanket liabilities from covid and business is free from liabilities, Then only one person could be at fault for your families deaths!
      YOU!

  4. The idiots are keeping this PANDEMIC going!!!
    Seriously America!!! Kids wake up!!! Gathering spreads the virus!!!

    1. is that what you told the hundreds of thousands of protesters and rioters over the past 2 months. You know the ones not wearing masks gathering in crowds of thousands to burn down businesses.

  5. We need help…!!!!! It’s hard enough not to have a job but with kids: family to provide. We need help until the virus is cured!!!!

    1. If the state get’s blanket liabilities from covid, and the feds get blanket liabilities from covid and business is free from liabilities, Then only one person could be at fault for your families deaths!
      YOU!

    1. really? so shutting down the borders to china, and other countries…something the Dems bashed him for, wasnt taking it serious. step away from the echo chamber and join the real world

    2. @MOTIV-8-U His China travel restrictions were not about the safety of Americans. It was an attempt to gain leverage in his trade war. If it truly was about the virus and our safety he would have tested/quarantined the 10’s of thousands who flew here from China after his restrictions and he would not have spent the months after constantly downplaying the seriousness of the virus, contradicting his own task force, organizing rallies, and golfing.

  6. Trump doesn’t care. We are only problems that the rich hope to see the Covid does a “wipeout” on and keep stealing our tax payer money.

    1. Yes
      Many
      Americans
      Are too spoiled
      I’m staying home but
      So many still think hoax because of drumpf

    2. @Wanda Butler No, because you keep lying to them. Did this come from a lab? Why do churches need to be closed, why can’t schools reopen?

    3. If the state get’s blanket liabilities from covid, and the feds get blanket liabilities from covid and business is free from liabilities, Then only one person could be at fault for your families deaths!
      YOU!

  7. Be Kind to others, because the world is dealing with 3 Pandemics same time. Greed, Corruption and Corona virus.

    1. *Before yesterday’s interview, ‘Joe Biden is unfit to be President.’*

      *After yesterday’s interview, ‘Joe Biden is unfit to be Dog Catcher.’*

    2. If the state get’s blanket liabilities from covid, and the feds get blanket liabilities from covid and business is free from liabilities, Then only one person could be at fault for your families deaths!
      YOU!

    1. No he will only shut off Trump supporters electricity. You’re so stupid with that, and I can’t believe it. Then get a turn off nobody’s not even you morons it support Trump. You know the f****** draft Dodger that has done nothing for anybody except for himself and his millionaire Buddies. Joe Biden is going to be our next president and if you don’t like it you can go to Russia if you want.

  8. “Republicans don’t have plans, they have grievances.” This should be the Democratic slogan from now until Republicans are obliterated.

    1. Exactly. They hate government; they break it on purpose so they can claim it doesn’t work. So why are they even there? They should be outlawed as they currently exist.

    2. @james jones Do you mean eliminate sexism/racism – the supremacist “values”? Those are our Constitutional founding flaws. We need the Equal Rights Amendment ASAP!

    3. sadly the wacko extreme left is grievance based . . . if biden is giving in to the marxists keen to destroy what little of amireka team putin/drumpf hasn’t already destroyed, the only hope will be #UNITY2020 and/or #UNITY2024 / #UNITY2028

    4. @sol rayz Has it occurred to you yet that we who were luckier than you, we who have experienced freedom, can readily recognize people such as you, who have not?

      Anti-democracy trolls such as you, are a pitiable lot because you are being used by others to serve their needs AND for you to be useful, they have you repeating the words and ideas of powerlessness, of irrelevance and of subjugation.

      Like all liars, before the lies hurt others, they must first turn themselves into liars. Your handlers have you infecting your own mind, over and over again.

      If you get breaks, perhaps take notes as you watch America oust a wannabe tyrant. Get some freedom for yourself and any loved ones, if you have any.

      Best wishes for your good health.

  9. I say if Donald Trump doesn’t turn in his Taxes in this time. He won’t have his name on the Ballot. What do you all think ?

    1. I think California made a move to exclude anyone who does not make their taxes public a few months ago? I don’t know if it withstood a legal onslaught or not.

  10. There have been some kids that went back to school on on the 2nd day a six-year-old tested positive so I don’t know how they think they’re going to be able to do this

    1. Homeschool Deb. If the schools aren’t going to do remote learning homeschool is an option. So tough, but what else is there

  11. The wheels are coming off drumpfs* baby carriage. He’s whining, he’s crying, he’s stomping his fat foot. It’s about time he has to face consequences
