    1. They give all of these third world countries money for bullshit CAUSES, damn I even discovered from a colleague in Colombia that they paid for his medical school just to keep peace and harmony with the Colombian FARC rebels when he was attending medical school through a USAID program, well why not do the same for us in USA??? with our taxes and when the American people get a break, they (republicans) deny the stimulant checks for measly $2,000!! I am not a Trump lover, however, I thought that I would never see the day in which Trump and Sanders AGREE in giving us working people a measly $2,000,,,It will only cover one month of rent in NY, DC, CA! The funny thing is that the corporations, Ie. American Airlines, United, Delta and Northwest will get welfare for the rich money easily, in fact, they already have! Sports stars are not helping, movie stars are not helpings and Billionaires are not helping all they do is take our hard earn money!

    2. Theres nothing clean about people starving or being thrown out of their homes in the middle of a pandemic while parasites in office enrich themselves off of taxes paid by those who suffer.

    3. @Truth for men G You can’t just put that on the Democrats. The aid to foreign countries budget items that Trump is complaining about now were actually in the budget request that the Trump administration sent to Congress months ago.

    1. @Michael Green That is proven to be false & Mueller even said there is no evidence. Quit drinking the kool aid

  1. It is clear why forward-thinking voters wanted Sanders to be U.S. President! Thank you, Senator Sanders for representing the majority of the American people.

    1. @Peyton Kasinger Nope. No excuses, he had opportunities to showcase his agenda & his grassroots supporters & use it as leverage vs Biden but he instead caved into Biden. He’s a coward.

    2. everyone loves bernie because they want free money LMAO people are so pathetic, there are 60,000 available jobs on the low side in each state. Take some of them. Over 3 million jobs in this country that are available and should be filled before we start handing out money.

    3. @Better Call Saul you need to chose your fights he is the one that started this new wave in the progressive moment he could end it just as fast it’s up to the others to pull more agro and we can work with biden to an extent that is much better than it was with trump we need to keep growing we still are and in 2024 or 2028 at this rate we will will win but if we start bitching about them working with libs and showing them what we think a lot of them( particularly if we can get biden to cave a few times) will switch to our side of the fence that is how we get them to switch work with them but stand our ground or at least try to work with them and that will show them we are better than they thought we need to be aggressive but we must be smart about it

    4. @Peyton Kasinger If you think Biden is going work with progressives on issues you’re sadly mistaken. Biden has no intention in working with them at all. He never gave Bernie & Warren positions in his administration. He essentially sidelined them & wants nothing to do with them. He only wanted their voter base.

  2. Bernie agrees with Trump on the checks? No, it is the other way around. Bernie has wanted big checks for people since the beginning.

    1. Bernie nor Trump could do anything but state what they’d like to see. Congress should of just introduced a bill with checks, unemployment benefits extensions, money for businesses that were forced to shut down, etc. Nothing extra thrown in that doesn’t benefit American citizens and American citizens only. It seems anytime Congress came up with something, there was something irrelevant to helping the American citizens that needed the help the most.
      The Constitution prevents any President from drawing money directly from the Treasury, so Trump can’t just sign an Executive Order to cut everyone a check. There’s plenty of articles & videos of Trump saying he wanted Americans to get more money months and months ago. If Trump could cut every American a check NOW, he would, but he can’t. I’m sure Bernie would cut every American a check, as well……….I’m not a fan of the guy, but it’s bold and admirable of Bernie to agree with Trump on something.

    1. They give all of these third world countries money for bullshit CAUSES, damn I even discovered from a colleague in Colombia that they paid for his medical school just to keep peace and harmony with the Colombian FARC rebels when he was attending medical school through a USAID program, well why not do the same for us in USA??? with our taxes and when the American people get a break, they (republicans) deny the stimulant checks for measly $2,000!!

The funny thing is that the corporations, Ie, American Airlines, United, Delta and Northwest will get welfare for the rich money easily, in fact, they have already been handed a check for millions that will be forgiven by the government… Sports stars are not helping American families, movie stars are not helpings and Billionaires are not helping all they do is take our hard earn money and have these charities that require us to give them our money so they can keep their money and incur interest and get richer! This country needs a revolution like in France and I am not for either party!

  3. I’m an independent but feel people should vote blue in the senate runoff. The Republican senate can’t be trusted to help people during this devastating pandemic

    1. You are not independent, and we would not need to shill out trillions, plummeting the country into debt if the democrats did not force everything to be locked down.

    2. What pandemic? The one Pence cut in line to get a vaccine for after helping trump downplay it every chance he got? That one?

    3. @Tanya Degurechaff why don’t you people deficit hawk when tax cuts benefit billionaires and the already wealthy? Reagan sold you a pack of lies and you’ll never wake up.

    1. @Sol Vox Pelosi didn’t that was mitch the Republican wanted the people to think she wanted more for the people it wasn’t about the Republicans or Democrats it was about the people getting help mitch don’t care about the people mitch had that bill on his desk since March and they stalled until until the election was over

    2. That vile man is only doing what your lying president Gump told him to do! This is all another stunt for Gump,who could’ve signed the 2nd bill before the election! And I know y’all(meaning Dems)are not that d@m stupid to think Gump,wants to help Americans after he called voter fraud! But yet right before elections he tweeted a lot of tweets about the 2nd bill! Ssaying: “Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19. We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith. I am rejecting their request, and looking to the future of our Country,” Trump tweeted!

      As if states that were Democrats wasn’t affected by covid19 and the pandemic! I’m so glad his corrupted pathological- habitual-compulsive lying @ss will be gone Jan 20,2021!

    3. @Naudia Chowdary he had a partisan bill on his desk.there were no real talks it was all smoke and mirrors.anything to win the election and wait it out till biden won.she is so rich in her bubble she thought it could work.she even turned dont the offer for bipartisan support with muchin for 1.8 trill double this bill and stalled out saying it wasnt enough.thrn joe biden wins now all of the sudden 900 bill is ok.she said as much her self . as long as they can send money to their lobbyist overseas all is well for them.but the market doesnt reflect whats going on in the streets.our leaders are failing us.until people can see the system is built to trick by division we will all be slaves to being taken for the long con.

    1. @Deborah Freedman Exactly. Getting his name out there as the spokesman for the “poor and downtrodden.” Pandering is right.

    1.

    2. Why do people need stimulus checks? Everyone would still be able to work if democrats just didn’t shutdown everyones businesses. Restaurants and bars make up under less than 2% of covid infections, we can’t eat at a restaurant (even outdoors) but we can go ride in a subway? What happened to following the science?

    3. A week before the Georgia runoffs. Keep f*ckin with us, McConnell. We’ll pull that pedestal right out from under those shriveled purple feet of yours!!

    4. @Truth for men G not only have these big corporations (trump & kushner companies included) been GIFTED MILLIONS of dollars, they can DEDUCT that gifted amount from their taxes as an expense, therefore double dipping. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Yet somehow giving Americans $2000 is a cost they just can’t afford?! These stingy, corrupt asshats need a refresher course on who they work for!!

  4. Bernie is always the only Senator fighting for American workers. Who TF are the people who voted for mitch mcConnell?

    1. @Deborah Freedman – Wrong! Bernie has been fighting for months! Stop spreading misinformation you know nothing about!!

  5. Bernie has been fighting for $2000 checks for almost a year now. Trump is falling in line with Bernie, not the other way around.

    1. @Deborah Freedman not true. Bernie has been on $2000 for LONG before thw majority of the Dems were on board. He has been pushing for monthly $2000 checks but whittled it down to $1200 with Josh Howley because NOBODY else waa going along with him… Then Nancy negotiated SO MUCH that it was brought down to down to $600

    2. @Legba Kukulan exactly. In 2020, people believe what they want. Look at CNN’s role in all of this too! They just put up a graphic including Loefler and Perdue as R’s who support $2K checks!! No, the hell they don’t! CNN is the mouthpiece for the Republican party

    3. Trump knows damn well he said that knowing that was not gonna happen. If #45 wanted that to take place he had 8 months that he could have been involved with the processing of these checks, but he and Moscow Mitch did not even want to give the $600. So don’t be fooled by #45’s B.S. He knew it would never happen that’s why he intentionally threw that out there so he can get even with McConnell for saying Joe Biden is the President Elect. Donald is vicious and EVIL and there is no honor among thieves or crooks or corruption buddies….

    1. It’s obvious he won the elections. We literally watched videos of pool workers stealing the election. It exists on the internet.

  6. Downtown Miami, FL is full of homeless families who lost everything. Little children sleeping on the streets with their parents is completely unacceptable

    1. But many who supported TRUMP IN 2020 should now stand up and face the effects of Trumpism in south florida especially in the Spanish communities. TRUMP 2020.

    2. LORD HAVE MERCY 🥺 🙏 😫 AMERICA IS LOOKING BAD TO OTHER COUNTRIES HOW DO U NOT TAKE CARE OF HOME YET YOU CAN HELP OTHER COUNTRIES AS WE SHOULD AFTER TAKING CARE OF HOME

    3. I’m right up the road from you in Palm Beach County..here we’re seeing family’s having to move in together..so there are 8 or 9 people in a small Florida crackerbox house that should only hold 3 comfortably. It’s getting worse every day. People are going to start getting evicted if they haven’t already and those that can’t pay rent with no family at all. It makes me cry at night. It’s so senseless..it didn’t have to be this way.

    1. They give all of these third world countries money for bullshit CAUSES, damn I even discovered from a colleague in Colombia that they paid for his medical school just to keep peace and harmony with the Colombian FARC rebels when he was attending medical school through a USAID program, well why not do the same for us in USA??? with our taxes and when the American people get a break, they (republicans) deny the stimulant checks for measly $2,000!!

    2. Ramblings of an uninformed lunatic “discovering things from his colleague” AKA believing what he wants to justify his dumbass beliefs about a great man

    1. If these RINO piece of shts don’t support the pres’ $2,000 demand for We The People, we will stop voting Republicans. Sick and tired of McConnell and these pathetic RINOs. People are suffering. Give us our $2,000 checks.

    2. Anyone over 65 cant run for govt/office. So if you are under 65 and win you can just finish your term and must retire

    3. So it’s Mitch fault? He was the one that said we need to shutdown the economy to Flatt the curve? What do you think happens to the dollar worth if it’s just printed out like crazy. Ever heard of inflation?
