Yeah. sigh Come November, they've already killed what little support they had.

People are pissed.

It's likely they want to be the ones to do this, or add a provision that forces Americans to pay it back with interest.

...Why haven't these people been Soylent Greened yet? They'd do more for the American people as foodstuff than as politicians (yes, to the people obsessively watching this site hoping for proof we're ''Nazis'', this is a joke, though the Democrats just being fucking useless isn't).

Its like the democrats have decided to make every possible bad decision this year....

There will be conquences come November.
I'm more interested in how their behavior is going to affect the next midterm election; I don't see how the Dems can maintain control of the House.

It's like the Democrats saw Trump touting the economy and decided that they needed to ensure a Recession. That will help them beat Drumpf!!

In all seriousness, they want to cram more pork into and take credit for it and blame the Republicans for not accepting their bullshit. They think it'd undermine Trump and make them look good.

It does... On Twitter.

The American people saw them do it. Personally, I have never been this pissed.

The Senate bill could've used much tighter language on the massive wad of bailout money that was getting handed to the Treasury (and thus Mnuchin) for distribution--frankly, just like with the last massive boondoggle bailout the US engaged in, some oversight committees and whatnot are wholly justified and damn-well should've been added by amendment before the bill passed, because no, I don't trust Trump or his appointees not to play fast-and-loose with piles of billions of dollars meant for loans and the like and find a novel way of benefitting off of it--I don't think you could trust anybody with that kind of thing, frankly.

Grinding things to a halt over that 'slush fund' in the midst of a Black Week the likes of '08 or the Depression, and raising a specter of an independent bill (chock full of its own problems from a different perspective) when it could've been amended on the floor is...Baffling, at best, actively malicious pessimism that presumes we're all screwed already so might as well get a policy-victory out of it at worst.

I genuinely have no idea what the DNC's strategy is right now. This stunt they pulled looks absolutely awful, and as much as the media is trying to cover for them (why hello NYT and their changing of headlines and such), this is the Internet age. People aren't going to be gaslighted about who is causing the holdup right now.

I honestly don't know how they think this will play out in November, but I'll expect it to not play out favourably.

Mate, I'm so convinced Trump is going to wipe the floor with the Demotwats in November, that if I had a grand to bet on it, I would.
