Let me simplify. There are 2 possible paths now:

1) Trump signs the bill

2) Trump does nothing. D's bring up a unanimous consent vote on 2k checks (w/ 0 funding cuts) and R's reject. Gov't shuts down or short-term CR. No relief bill and negotiations start from scratch in Jan.
And with Biden as POTUS and 48-50 Senate seats, whole negotiation changes in Jan. Nothing will be taken out of the spending bill but guaranteed $ for states and other Dem goodies are back on the table and it will be a 2 trillion bill.
Oh and I forgot to mention: Since unemployment runs out on Dec 23rd for many, eviction moratorium on Dec 31st, and no PPP loans = job cuts, a lot of Americans will suffer as a result until they pass a much worse bill in February.
Like I said. Only 2 options. And looks like we are headed for #2 if Trump doesn’t change his mind:

Thread . Other problem is that the legislative session is running out so real threat of a pocket veto. So only realistic options are Trump signs the bill or Americans who desperately need relief have to wait until they start from scratched with Biden as President.
And btw with Biden as POTUS and possibly winning GA, the whole negotiation changes. If you don't like the stuff that's in the omnibus now, wait until you see what Dems throw in the relief bill when they have the WH and possibly the Senate.
People on here really don't understand the mess that Trump threatened to create last night because they think you can just magically pass a new bill in a day, but that's just not how it works. Dems know there will never be unanimous consent for +, that's why they are thrilled.

The $600 is the least important part of the relief bill. Direct checks are a completely ineffective form of relief that mostly go to people who don't need them. We have millions going into poverty bc no PUA unemployment + permanent job losses w businesses closing.
Again, here was what was actually in the relief bill. All the items other people are citing have nothing to do with the relief bill. They were part of the omnibus bill authorizing the government's budget for the full year.
I agree that our government wastes a lot of money and we need spending reform. That's not happening right now or in the next week and choosing this moment to suddenly care about it and hold needed relief for Americans hostage is just dumb.

This is a lie, and a shameful one.

Absolutely unacceptable from an alleged "reporter".

McConnell and Senate GOP have put multiple proposals on the table for months. Each one rejected by Pelosi, who openly said no deal is better than one based solely on areas of agreement.
House Dems put a ridiculous 3T package together full of stuff they knew could never pass the Senate and then refused to negotiate down.

Now we are going to pass something that is a lot closer to what R's argued for the whole time.
Pelosi freaked out at Wolf Blitzer when confronted with these facts and her indefensible and political refusal to negotiate before the election.



She even admitted she was switching up because Biden won:

Putting aside that we know what the vaccine is doing and why that is not dangerous long-term, this is also illogical because you have just as little data on the long-term effects of Covid-19 and know for a fact that Covid-19 is way more harmful short-term.
Again, here is a good thread you should read to understand exactly what the vaccine does:
But this is where this spin falls apart. You're advocating for more people to get a dangerous virus that not only risks lives but also has potential long-term consequences we don't know yet because of the hypothetical risk of a vaccine that is indisputably less dangerous.

No, that was not yesterday's update from the CDC. It was a report from one guy at the CDC focused on anaphylaxis incidents post-vaccine. He doesn't provide the data source, but 3,150 was the number who experienced health impact events.

Here is the report: cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/…
Here is the footnote he is referring to, but this could mean a lot of things. With most vaccines, a percent of people report symptoms like headaches/soreness because your body is attacking the vaccine (as it would a virus) to remember how to fight against it in the future.
These are the same people that originally argued for a herd immunology strategy because the virus wasn't that dangerous for younger people now intentionally playing up (MUCH LOWER) risks from the vaccine that would provide that exact immunity needed for such a strategy.

I'll ask again: where do ACB and Kavanaugh (& the other conservative justices) go for their apologies from Dems and members of the press who repeatedly painted them as Trump shills that will consistently make partisan decisions based purely on desired political outcomes?
The people who pushed this nonsense were just revealing that’s what they expected form judges they support. They expect policy wins from the court, regardless of whether they are legally justified.
And it’s especially weird for those who think Trump is dishonest and can’t be trusted to cite random comments from him to justify a smear against Justices whose records and own statements made clear that they were undeserving of those smears.
