  1. Republicans didn’t have a problem voting for a massive tax cut that benefited only the wealthy and increased the deficit. Now we can really see who has been holding up support for the American people.🤔

    1. @Anthony S2K04
      The voting machine companies are suing Trump et al, Fox News, OAN, etc. I imagine Philyaw will be added.
      Mr. Philyaw, who’s bar code company failed and now goes by Mr. Pulitzer after a name change, doesn’t mention nationwide ballots or how Republicans won seats in states Trump lost and the machines uses the same bar code reader nationwide, except maybe Los Angeles.

    2. True. And it took all of 24 hours to discuss, bring it to a vote and pass it. We’ve known about the bill sitting on his desk since May. Sad.

    3. @Angry Patriots
      It’s not, but not giving American Citizens aid is not a good idea. Did you see miles if cars inline for food bank giveaways on Christmas Day. In 60 and have never experienced anything like this.

  2. DEFICIT CONCERNS?! That only comes up when it has to do with helping the American people, but they’d send us back into Iraq in a heartbeat.

    1. ​@Big Al Trump tried to start a war against Iran. He failed because his advisors refused to comply with his bloodthirsty demands. That is the only thing that prevented an all out war with Iran, Syria, and possibly Russia. BTW Russia has already declared war against the USA, in cyberspace, in Venezuela, and by supporting the Taliban.

    2. @Bobby Osborne Not so quick, he still has 3 weeks left. Let’s hope that he will be orange all over when the NY AG has finished with him.

    3. @Big Al You must have missed Fox News, OANN and NewsMax retract their election machine fraud accusations under threat of a lawsuit that would have required them to produce PROOF, which none of them had. You must also have missed the 60+ lawsuits Trump & Cronies filed that got tossed out, many because they had NO PROOF of any election fraud. No election is perfect because people are not perfect, but if Trump had proof of election fraud, it would have been presented in court. Our 2020 election has been deemed as secure by Homeland Security, DOJ and our many courts. Are you still displaying your Confederate battle flag and whining about losing the Civil War?

    4. @Bradyn Lotterman yea I payed taxes for the first time in my life on 33,000 ssi and disability which Wehave got for 8 years, great tax break for the poor.

    5. @Big Al trump increased the drone killings, he also tried to start a war with iran, he started a trade war with china, tried to go to war with venezuela, authorized the theft of syrian oil, and still under trump more americans have died than all the american wars in the last 40 years

    1. @Debra Lambert : Why the comment ? because they, as well as many other states, won’t fall in line with the democrat / liberal alternative ?

    2. Oh I agree 100% I gaurentee that if he put the vote for 2,000 on the floor, it would have passed in the Senate, but he wouldn’t even bring it to the floor for a vote, that’s just wrong. I understand not bringing a vote to the floor because it has no chance of passing, which is the usual reason he gives, but this time mitch is solely to blame. Just let Senate vote, and let the chips fall where they may. We the people. It’s to much control for one person.

  3. Funny how the 2 Senators from Kentucky are so against the people getting money when their state is one of the biggest welfare states in the nation.

    1. @James Arias – Your comment is gibberish – I have no idea what you’re talking about – which doesn’t surprise me, as your type tend to be pretty inarticulate…

    1. @Annie Bland oh come on now…. we are way pass the guilt trips. Direct your propaganda &misdirected animosity @ Gates & Dr FRAUDCI. Transhumanist vaccine.
      Biden wouldn’t know where Joe is.
      Mischievous liar.

    2. When the PEOPLE need money jd jd… If the money doesn’t come through, it will effect all of those… both Dems AND Rep’s equally… Poverty doesn’t care what Party you prefer to follow

  4. THANK GOD FOR A NEW YEAR AND NEW PRESIDENT,ENUF OF THE COMPULSIVE LYING, TIRED CONSPIRACY THEORIES, CORRUPTION..HAPPY NEW YEAR🥳🥳🥳🥳

    1. @Anthony S2K04 Yeah, more gobbledegook, sad that people can let themselves be so confused over blatant lying, it looks and sounds complicated so it must be true, even though what is being shown fails to depict what is being said. Time to overhaul American education.

    2. @Big Guy gets 10% Biden 🤣🤣🤣🤣only in you’re eyes my friend, speaking truthful doesn’t make me angry..💕💕💕

    1. @Jacqueline Wernett It’s a shame they used you for their desires. I am very sorry about that. I’m sorry that you had been used in this manner and by the government. How long has this escort for the government service been around. I believe it I have also heard many politicians are Pedos and that’s a crime. I did hear Q wanted to bring them down. Maybe you’re into the Q stuff, but I’m not really. I hope you eventually find your way out of that profession if you haven;t already. I hope you weren’t hired by Weinstein that would be horrible. Oh man I am so sorry I did not know that was your profession or is and I am sorry that you had to succumb to that. Hopefully you will realize that is the wrong profession and choose a new path. I see you are starting to quote some verses, so that is a good start. Please continue on that path and I will pray for you and hope you are no longer an escort. Again my family will pray for you and I will bring you up at our church group Jacqueline Wernett and make sure you continue towards virtue.

    2. @You can Fix It!!!! the united states Government escort service is not a pedofile ring nor sex party. You are thinking perverse when unjustified.

    3. @You can Fix It!!!!let me know what God spoke to your right ear from Heaven. I would like to know. Blessings. For God spoke to my right ear from Heaven 20 times. P.S. Elohim Adonai Avra is my Rabbi and Father
      Let me know if you want to know who God told me my Twin Soul is.. by the way it is insulting that you thought me a prostitute.

    4. @You can Fix It!!!! Halloween past God showed me to read revelations 12:01…Yeshua of Nazareth is the son and sun. Mohammed the moon. My crown is my cranium. Now, do me a favor..what did God mean on 11.11
      2015..I lived in Honolulu top floor Nimitz Highway. I woke that morning and God spoke to my right ear from Heaven and said, you are Rain..I walked out to the balcony and stretched my arms to the sky and said it’s time for a Rainbow…Immediately a double Rainbow appeared beside the building and reached out to the Pacific. What does this mean. And what did it mean 11.17.2015 Ewa/Eve beach Waikiki night…When the last thing God said to me, you are Anchor. What does it mean when I describe God’s voice and people have to look it up in a book. What does it mean that 8.4. 2015..God spoke to my right ear from Heaven and said, I’m sorry, you are the one. .by a burning glowing spider web that did not burn. The only time in my life I saw that. As Moses saw a burning glowing bush that did not burn. Remember, Moses led the slaves from Egypt 11 days

  5. I’m sure glad that the people of Georgia don’t mind getting screwed out of $1400. I’ll take the $600 but I still want the rest. Mitch is lucky that his supporters like living in poverty and that they realize they don’t even deserve the crumbs that fall from his gold table.

    1. At the most critical time in 100 years … McConnell and the Trumpublicans chose the corruption of Scrooge over the generosity of Jesus … at Christmas, too.

  6. “Don’t give them 2,000 they’ll spend it on things that we won’t benefit from”
    If you guys gave us what we would actually need we could get on our feet and get the economy moving in a productive way

  7. Democrats: “Taxpayers need their tax dollars back to help them get through this crisis”
    vs.
    Repiglican senators “we need to pocket those tax dollars for ourselves and our buddies to live large while the population we’re responsible for suffers and dies…”

    Karma will not be kind to repiglicans

    1. Talk to Stacey Abrams. She has not paid her 2016 taxes totaling $ 50 K yet. But she paid a tax lien of $ 30 K for having tried to cheat her taxes.

    1. @Louise Cardinal
      exactly and his contractors.
      Hired cheap labor from Mexico no Americans were hired.
      As most trumps or if not all his businesses have illegals working on his properties.
      And his racist supporters would never be hired. But sure enrich his pockets.
      Don the con.

    2. Schumer & Pelosi hand billions of tax dollars to foreign interests, Bill Gates gets 4B……

      Don’t stay home
      Wear no masks
      Zero social distancing
      & Pay with cash….

      Dr FRAUDCI is a liar.

      The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by Glaxo, who merged with Pfizer! Pfizer is managed by Blackrock finances, who managed the finances of the Open Foundation Company (Soros Foundation) which serves the French AXA. Coincidentally, Soros owns the German company Winterthur, who by chance, built the Chinese laboratory in Wuhan that was bought the German Allianz. Which has, Vanguard as a shareholder, which is also a shareholder of Black Rock. Black Rock controls the central banks and manages about one third of the global investment capital, and is a major shareholder in Microsoft. Microsoft is property of Bill Gates who happens to be a shareholder of Pfizer. (Which sells the miracle vaccine) and is currently the first Sponsor of WHO. Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell is Mossad. Bill Gates is both a Rockefeller & a Maxwell. ‘Dr Fort Detrick’ Fauci owns HIV/Sars Covid interaction patents:

      In the New Testament the word pharmekeia occurs three times (Gal 5:19-21; Rev 9:21; 18:23). Each time, it is translated as ‘sorcery’ or ‘magic’ = the use of drugs, potions, spells, and/or poisoning, witchcraft, magical potions. Injecting aborted foetal tissue is a vile form of experimental Transhumanist eugenics.
      GM, mRNA/DNA modifications…
      The real pandemic is Biden, Soros, Gates, Clinton’s, Obama, Bezos (Amazon owner) Zuckerberg, Klaus Schwab, Pelosi, Schumer, Kissinger, & their nefarious Dominion, Big Tech, Big Pharma CCP globalisation shenanigans.
      A treasonous brood of vipers? Perhaps, even a part of the very Synagogue of Satan Jesus warned us about?

  8. In the richest nation in the world, the Senate can’t give $2,000 stimulus to people who are suffering?

    Vote Ossoff and Warnock if you want to change that.

    1. @Dale Jones I suggest to you that you can still help the Democratic campaigns with volunteering or a contribution, even if you’re not a Georgia voter. If you get your $600, kick $10 or $20 to each of the Democratic candidates. If you’re a conservative, and really don’t want to directly contribute to a Democrat, consider donating to the Lincoln Project.

    2. I remind the people screaming socialism, that Canada has medical care for everyone and is still a capitalist economy. People who lost their job because of the pandemic were given a living allowance of $600. A week.Canada recently was voted #1 country in the world for standard of living. America didn’t even make the list. I hope Mitch has just handed the Georgia senate seats to the Democratic Party.

    3. Lol, do you think Warnock will give a f…..k about you if he does not even pay his alimony to his wife for the kids?

    1. @P Le their records clearly show that. I alomost got that all typed without falling out of chair laughing. CCPNN also thanks you for your stupidity

    1. They never care about the debt or deficit when it comes to tax cuts….and poor folks will vote Republican every single time.

    2. @Bradyn Lotterman the only reason you think its good is because of the stock market, wich is not pur economy. gdp for trump was lower for trump than anytime during Obamas presidency. Learn what the economy is ,it’s clear from your postings you have no clue what it is.

    3. @Ed Doty I never said that the economy was good because of the stock market, even though it is a pretty good indicator. I also know that Obama inherited a crappy economy… and turned it on the upswing. Trump made the economy better than when he got it. He created jobs, I’m not saying more than Obama, but he added on more jobs to Obama’s total.

    1. @Mickey Rosa maybe your God doesnt exist, , mine does though. Jesus can remove all that intoleratehate from your heart, too. Cheers.

    2. @Nick Tucker You can’t remove anything from me and I never said I hate or intolerant but question things with a critical mind.

    3. @Mickey Rosa Its fairly clear common sense was removed from you long ago, that is if you ever had any to begin with. This is my final response to you since it is obvious you are trolling at this point.

  9. I am and have been a Republican.
    NEVER AGAIN! THEY ARE DESPICABLE RACISTS! It’s all about their power and money!

    1. @Mark c’mon, Mark. We have all been hearing that bullshit for years. Yes, there were no Republicans who owned slaves. But guess what, Mark? Slavery in the US disappeared and the The Republicans of 1860 and 1864 bear absolutely not recognizable as the Republicans of 2020. It is the Democrats of the 20th century who started to champion equal civil rights in the 20th century when very few Republicans seemed interested. It was the Democrats of the 20th Century who pushed for the programs like the TVA which helped lift the Southern poor out of poverty while the Republicans sat on their hands. It was not Democrats who developed a subtly racist “Southern Strategy” in 1968 to draw votes for their Presidential candidate (despite your reference to voter suppression). There is a long history of the Republican Party turning away from their progressive political philosophies starting in 1877 and continuing to the plutocratic, racist, anti-gay, populist, and lawless party they are today. I’m not saying Democrats haven’t made errors, they have. But I tell you what, Mark, You show *me* a race baiter, and I will show you Donald Trump, or David Duke, or Sen. Jesse Helms, or any number of others. (And by the way, the support for immigration is absolutely not tied to intentionally hurting any local population groups and you know it. Democrats support immigration because Democrats understand that this country has generally benefitted from immigration for the past 250 years. I will assume that not all if any of your progenitors are native-Americans, and certainly mine are not.)

    2. @Victor Lloyd the 22 million illegal immigrants in America today cost the American taxpayer and hurt the black community more than any other.

    3. @Victor Lloyd And hate to tell you we are not anti- gay in any way. They don’t trump my rights and i won’t trump theirs.

    4. Where is CNN’s news on the election fraud? I notice that CNN steers away from that subject as if it were the plague. And, by the way, it is the Democrats who are the racists. Didn’t Joe Biden say that anyone who didn’t vote for him wasn’t black? I wonder what he’ll try to do to that part of the black community who didn’t vote for him if he becomes president. Fortunately it looks more and more like Pence will now prevent a Biden victory on Jan 6.

    5. @Mark your argument seems a little ignorant and shows the importance of a good quality education that promotes and builds critical thinking 🤔 skills? History has shown that a lot of Americans, white and black, especially black Americans have slave owner blood 🩸. In the case of black Americans it was primarily due to forced sexual relations between said owners and their female slaves. This produced offspring that was 50% slave owner and 50% slave. Those genes 🧬 were then pasted on to the next generation. I’m sure you learned how genetics 🧬 and biology 🧪 work when you were in school.

      The difference is it is hard for blacks with lighter skin tones to deny their heritage while, white slave owner descendants guard that family secret extremely well. I wonder if you are perhaps 🤔 one of those yourself. I said all that to say this, stop 🛑 using slavery as a justification for the continued disenfranchisement of poor people, both white and black, but especially not the descendants of slaves.

  10. $600? Ridiculously cheap. America why do we always screw up and choke when these crisis cross roads come along? Simple answer? The GOP.

    1. Yes, apparently deficits are only of concern to Republicans when the Democrats are in power, even if the spending is to pull the USA out of a Republican recession.
      This year remember that while Trump was burying the USA further and further into debt, even before COVID-19 RUSH LIMBAUGH in complete support of Trump’s spending, was saying:
      “Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around.”
      Now that a Democrat is going to have to pull the country out of yet another Republican caused recession the Republicans are again suddenly concerned about too much spending?
      WTF !!! SMH !

    2. How many demonstrations do people need to see that Republicans are both heartless and useless? HOW MANY? The ONLY people blocking the $2000 right freaking now are REPUBLICANS!!!!

  11. The “best country in the world” can’t look after it’s own people,unless you’re rich or the political “elite”

    1. Democrat leadership will fix everything!!!!!!! Look at how great Chicago,New York,Minneapolis,Seattle,and Portland are doing!!!!!!!

    2. @Laurence Kelly I, too am in Europe and I totally agree with how you describe our lives here. When I see the images of the lines upon lines of cars waiting for food in what is supposed to be the richest country in the world!!! People have no money to put food on the table for their kids or even themselves? Fortunately these Food Banks exist but what happens when the car tanks are empty? How many days food can be bought with $600? A lot of Americans seem to be easy to brainwash.
