They are obstructing for the sake of their radical agenda yet again.
Congressional Democrats have blocked Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s efforts to get unanimous consent to pass the next round of coronavirus aid for America’s small business owners. (CNBC)
Senate Republicans hoped to pass a bill Thursday to put $250 billion more into a loan program for small businesses devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. With lawmakers out of Washington, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to move the measure by unanimous consent, meaning any one senator had the power to block it.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asked for the bill to include $250 billion for hospitals, health care systems, state and local governments and food assistance program, on top of money for small companies. However, Pelosi said she only wanted $125 billion for the existing program specifically, and another $125 billion for community-based lenders and Small Business Administration disaster assistance loans and grants.

Do You Still Stand With Trump? [TELL US NOW]
These dems are pathetic and despicable. At a time like this when the country is in full crisis mode, these POS decide to play there political games for them selves at the expense of the American Public.
NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT…They don’t care about you
I’d rather be a deplorable than a despicable.
I wish they would kick the bucket for their treasonous ways . They only want for themselves they dont give a damn about anybody just the money too line their own pockets . Time too rid congress of this load of S**T .
If anyone votes Democrat they are NOT Americans. Let’s dump every one of them. Show them it’s the people that run the country.
Who prohibited WH staff from testifying be Congress? Who filed non security breach documents and called them confidential so that they could be released to the public. Who wanted the impeachment to be whitewashed by the DOJ and Senate. Oh Man, don’t tell me it was trump being obstructive.
You’re a dimwit. Get over it, crooked Hillary lost. The Democratic party currently is pathetic. You know damn well that impeachment was a total hoax. Democrats got caught with their pants down, when the President, thankfully, released the transcript. There is absolutely nothing obstructive with executive privilege. You need to get your information from another news source; you must watch CNN fake news.
Tony Barreda, What in hades has your comment got to do with this article? You are an atypical low IQ cult follower of Nancy Pelosi, minion from satan’s legion!
Get outta here and leave decent people alone, creep!
Obama did, he wouldn’t allow eRic hIlder to testify in fAst and Furious. He weaponized the DOJ, IRS, and FBI. James Clapper has admitted it was b.o.’s White House that authorizes spying on the Trumpcampaign, resulting in a fake dossier and nvetted FISA warrants bathe partisian hack, James Comey. Democratic policies were soundly rejected in 2016, thanks to 8 years of b.o. deal with your TDS.
Drink your Kool-Aid, man. Obama’s administration did all that and MORE…like spying illegally on American citizens, covering up their no-response in Benghazi, the Fast and Furious scandal, weaponizing the IRS and DOJ, letting crooked Hillary off the hook for breaking the law multiple times, and initiating illegal surveillance of an opposing political campaign. Must I go on and on? You outta grow a brain. You Dem-wits only care about power, not the American people. Pelosi demonstrates that every day. You’re all disgusting and clueless.
If they gave Pelosi everything she asked for, she would change what she demanded,. WHY? Because she likes to block any good thing Trump does. And she likes to spend our money by giving it to our enemies, abortionists, muslims, and anyone who hates and hurts Christians. Why won’t the pope excommunicate her?
Right on Jimmie A – Time and time again the demorats expose their true agenda, which is to destroy America. Thank God for Trump……..
We had better hope to God that our President is re elected in Nov or our country Is going to be Socialists. Wake up America Because if you vote The Dems in You will lose everything you have and The Dems will open the Southern border and let all the illegals in and make them Americans and give them everything free on your dime and maybe even give them your house and cars and boat and everything else you own and oh by the way They will not e Demacrat and there won’t be a thing you can do about it And you probably will lose all your rights to go along with it So Vote Dems in in Nov and see if I am right. Jo
How in the world is Pelosi and Schumer going to get things done when cheese cake, candy, cookies and ice cream and voter fraud going to get people back to work, Marie Antoinette going to be proud, she lost her head. King Louie Capet lost his.
AMEN! ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
WELL SAID , THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS.
You certainly are deplorable! You have attained your goal in life.
Congratulations!
like Nancy says….no pork, no help!
Come to find out china is the pork she was talking about
Jimmy, THAT’S right. the whole country know to vote for RED! MY FRIENDS DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. THEY WILL LOVE HIM…FOREVER!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!
IN GOD WE TRUST!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
The Constitution gives powers to the President that do not need approval by Congress in times of National Emergency.
Have a good feeling that Pelosi and Schumer and the entire Democrat Communist Party are at the end of their swinging ropes.
Hope that is true causethey to me don’t care about no one but them.
I hope the public remembers all that the Democrats have hindered during the last three years. Think people before you vote Democrat in November.
Phil — nice thought but a very slim chance of that happening !!!!! You are hoping for a bunch of followers to think for themselves — probably not much chance.
You are thinking about REPUBLIKOOKS aren’t you? Unable to think for themselves.
Take it from a “Michigander”…
The Democratic Party is power hungry. This needs to stop. Our dim witted governor has no idea what the small businesses need outside of Wayne County. She would get lost if asked to drive to a rural town.
This small business boost would help keep our economy somewhat afloat.
Unfortunately, if the dem party gets their way, there will be many shuttered businesses and farms by the end of the summer. I’d like to see where her inner city constituents will get their food from then.
Please give a detailed list of these Constitutional Powers that the President has in times of National Emergency, so I can show my friends. Thank you!
He is making it up. Who would have thought!
“The Constitution does not expressly grant the president additional powers in times of national emergency. However, many scholars think that the Framers implied these powers because the structural design of the Executive Branch enables it to act faster than the Legislative Branch.”
In this case Drumpf acts last.
Sirdirkfan,
Constitution gives Power to the President,
but only if you have people to back him up.
Not like the cowards we have on our side.
MAGA 2020
Pelosi and Schumer are crazy scum of the earth liars. They want to use money for everything but the Virus. They want to dish out money to people who will give them money in return and for their votes… Mail in voting is a crock if I ever heard one. We need VOTER ID in order to vote. All the dems want is a way to cheat the American Citizens voters votes. SCAM it is called.
They want to be able to manipulate out votes to give them a chance to win the house, senate president and all local levels in their favor. They the democrats are very sick people.
I say to the Republican leaders and congress stand up to them and let them never to have their way. Make sure they the democrats are noted and called out for their trying to load up a bill for non virus support even though some sounds like it but under the water line they are conniving to take our money and use for their own benefits.. BEWARE of these evil people
And Trump wants the money for a useless wall.
Like you useless dick?
I agree with you, Dan. Except he is useless and dumb?
@ D.Richard Tonge. Where in the bill does it say money for the wall??
Because they don’t pay attention to what is really going on.
The wall has been mentioned very little or not at all during this crisis. The way I understand it, the wall is continuing to be built but no new money has been put into any bill. Typical lib mind.
Walls work. Ask anyone in prison. Build the wall and deport them all !
Walls work. Ask anyone in prison.
Don’t believe in “walls”? REMOVE the one’s on YOUR home!
You fcking moron!
World wide – wherever there are walls they have ALL been proven to work.
Richard Tonge You are one sick man .No one is talking of wall here except you. TRUMP 2020 For sure . Now cry loud
That’s what this is all about – the Chinese are next followed by the Jews
The new normal
Dr. Rick — Physician, heal thyself.
Sooooo, if you should happen to get the corona virus, do not take Hydroxy-chloroquine and Z pak. Go straight to ventilator and max out on the O2. You’ll feel better in no time.
It’s a proven fact. Just ask Mika & Joe, Jim Acosta, Chuck Todd, Rachel, Lawrence, Ezekiel, et al. and especially any former Obama appointees. They are just so smart.
Sayonara
Walls work, the exceptions are those built by the Democrats which work against the best interests of the country.
Neither President Trump nor the Republicans have asked for anything that does not relate explicitly to fight the COVID-16 virus eradication and most assuredly they have not asked for one penny for the wall construction. I am pretty sure that you knew this before you posted your false comment.
it is actually COVID-19, not 16 as I noted.
No its the wuhu flu
B Rehs,
Here,Here, BHO,G.Soros anyone??
Educate yourself D. Richard where do you see anything about the wall in the Chinese Virus Stimulus bill? Where is your condescending remarks with all the waste that was injected by the democrats? Try doing some research you may learn a thing or two. You Dems are Hypocrites and lack FACTS
You have been listening to CNN I guess . The wall works
Walls work! Walls keep people out that you don’t want in! Ask Israel, ask people incarcerated in prison, ask the Pope, ask secret service at the Whitehouse, I could keep this up all day OH AND ask Pelosi!
Couldn’t have spelled out the corrupt, socialist Democrats any better. ??
DENNIS, THAT’S RIGHT THE DEMOCRATS ARE EVILS PEOPLE. THEY ARE SNAKE AND HATEFUL PEOPLE. THEY ARE USUALY LOVE TO CHEAT… THEY ARE NOT HONEST PEOPLE, THEY ALWAYS SAY “TRANSPARENCE” AND THEY ARE NOT. I AM SURE TRUMP WILL BE REELECTED.
IN GOD WE TRUST!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
DON’T delete my message!!!!
We need to get rid of these democraps. They won’t to put this money in their own pockets just like the last time.
The DemonRATS have proved that they are CLUELESS when it comes to ethics, intelligence, and running a country like America. In NOVEMBER, we MUST VOTE R.E.D. – R.emove E.very D.emonRAT!!! In order for our nation to survive, we must make sure that all DemonRATS are removed, starting with Nazi Piglosi, Schmuck Schumer, Adam Schiff-for-brains, Maxi-mouth Waters, Ratschitta Tlaib, Ill-in-the-head Omar, Ocrazio-Cortez, and on and on down the line!! REMOVE THEM ALL!!!
How come the Democrats have done a better job of managing the economy over the last 100 years than the Republicans. The Republicans cause problems and Democrats solve them. You can’t spin this since the economic statistics are out there for you to research. Why didn’t you try to do some research instead of making a fool of yourself?
Bullshit. You have a problem with reality
Look at the number of people working after Obama got thrown out of office. America is so much better off under Donald Trump. If you don’t like it, you can leave. I will pay your one-way airfare!
What?
The problem you have with democrats having a better economy than republicans is who you listen too. If you had 100 economist answer the question who runs the best economy you would get possible 100 answers. So pick the one you like best and that is truth to you.
So let’s look back at the last 50 or so years. Carter years. Double digits inflation, That was good for America, right?
Reagan years. Started on the road to recovery from double digits inflation to the coming prosperity for years to come. Now here is where other economist would disagree. Some economist say Reagan years was the start of the down fall of the America economy that we have seen later.
Clinton years. His good economy was because of the republicans win in 1994 with the contract with America. Bill gets the credit for what the republican did in congress.
Bush economy was going good until the housing bust which was caused by the democrats encouraging the loan companys to make bad home loans.
Obama years. Had the slowest recovery on record. GDP never went over 3% in all his eight years the first president to do that. More people on welfare.
Trump 3 years unemployment stayed low and went lower. Stock market broke records, more blacks, hispanics, women working in the history.
Pearls before Swine. They will not be appreciated…but you already knew that.
Jim Dahlberg,
great,til BHO came along,slowest recovery,because he saved
it all for D J Trump,because the demorats like DJT so MUCH.
and do all this for the good of the people.
Pork in the Bill,out in the Thrash. Maga 2020
You need brain surgery. You see everything backwards like a true leftist. Democrats never solve problems. Their policy’s create the problems then promise to fix them (liars) to keep a voting base enslaved. They lay blame to everyone else politically with the aid of the evil media, academia and keep sheep like you to make stupid comments that can be refuted by a 4 year old.
Are you for real? Get your head out of your a**.
Yes the dems have done a wonderful job. Just look at Chicago,Detroit, New York, New Jersey, california just to mention a few. They were great and beautiful with low taxes till the dems got in. Now they are 3rd world hell holes with horrible tax rates.
No one wants to live there due to taxes liberal ideas and drugs.
Hey Dick, simple answer! Republicans work with Democrat when the Democrats are in the majority. Democrats refuse to to work with Republicans when Republicans are in the majority. Perfect examples are Pelosi and Schumer. Obstruction specialists. Period.
Your right the democrats have done a lot to try and destroy our country a bunch of crazy ass lunatics.
Insecurities are found is titles and characterizations – not for nothing because both parties are full of crap… vote for people who represent “THE” people without categorization. You can’t go back in time – it doesn’t work
JMAC, YES WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE THEM, THEY ARE MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS WHO SWITCH TO REPUBLICANS. MY FRIENDS SAY THEY WILL LOVE IT TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!
IN GOD WE TRUST!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
That’s all the commies do is obstruct.
How come the Democrats have done a better job of managing the economy over the last 100 years than the Republicans. The Republicans cause problems and Democrats solve them. You can’t spin this since the economic statistics are out there for you to research. Why didn’t you try to do some research instead of making a fool of yourself.
Dr Rick — constant repetition of your posts may be sign of early onset of Dementia. Where did you put your keys? Are they in the fridge again?
Read my reply above and this one. The dems have destroyed everything they touch.
Bonnie and Clyde are only interested in themselves. Who keeps electing this do-nothing trash?
IDIOTS – Maybe it’s the Senate that’s blocking the Democratic proposals. Maybe they have a better plan after all the Democrats have always done a better job of managing the economy than the Republicans. This is re-searchable so don’t try to spin this.
You can’t really believe that. Look at all of the cities run by democrats. Look at all of the states run by Democrats. Everyone of them is freaking broke.
Dr Rick doesn’t like actual facts, just Dumbocrat “facts”. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Finally someone who reads and is literate.
You are absolutely correct but people don’t want to read; they are lazy and would rather be told what to do …. Side note-remember Y2K and that global panic? The media and Goverment push that message. And in the midst of the new histrionics folks are talking and crapping on party politics – the playing field is kind of leveled
D. Richard is correct. Look at New York City, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, all run by Democratic’s. I live near a city that had almost 200,000 people at on time, since run by Democrat’s they now have just under 65,000.
If dumbocraps hadn’t been pushing for globalization, we wouldn’t be in this or any mess. All Obamites.
Pelosi held the Phase 3 Bill hostage to get her wish list added to it. So things were approved for things not involving the virus. So when she went to sign the Phase 3 Bill she had the nerve to call for a Phase 4 because more PPE’s were needed for Medical and healthcare workers, Nany you would have had this money if your crap wasn’t in the original Bill. She got away with it once to get her way and she will try it again, she has more goodies to put in. Call Pelosi’s office and tell her how she screwed the Medical and Healthcare workers. I hope these people remember this come November, if not I will remind them. My blood was boiling when I called her office and I used words I don’t usually use to get my point across. This is a very nasty and vindictive person. Nothing should be in a Bill that does not pertain to the Bill. Sorry to say Republicans are guilty of this also. Wise up Congress.
POTUS needs to get the Line Item Veto back and take things out of a Bill that do not belong in it in the first place.
Bella Pelosi, better known as Dracula. Sneaked in a 1 billion Dollar funding for Plan Parenthood (The abortion factory) and other things that have nothing to do with the Coronavirus bill. Evil and Devious indeed! Never let a crisis go to waste is one of the Demoncrat 10 Satanic Commandments.
Wuhan Virus Bioweapon AKA: China Virus, Coronavirus weaponized by China and their treasonous Godless demoncratic Commie party and cohorts Soros the MSM fake media, academia, Hollywood, Millennials.RINOs..to crash the greatest US economy ever! And to take down the greatest president ever, President Trump!! Keep up the great work President Trump! 2020 and beyond! From the Patriots of a Commie free America!
They are ALL in with China’s Deep State and non of them ate worth a freakin penny. This generation is stupid, obtuse and they they made Satan their Daddy! Cultural Marxism is not only dead but always considered Demonic. Ask Henry KISSINGER who’s a man and a womam by design. A freak, mentally ill Eastern European Devil worship and the sick ans stupid Illuminati brought these Demons here after WW2 and I’ve always known
that FACT! Oh hes, she’s a born hermaphrodite
many, many out there, CNN is like an Eastern European freak show!! Is is Mr or Mrs Lemon, does it matter. FREAKS!!!!!
DO NOT ALLOW DEMOCRATS TO RUIN THIS COUNTRY. IF THEY WIN THIS TIME, THIS COUNTRY IS DONE. IF WE DO NOT GIVE THEM THIER WAY WE HAVE AN ELECTION THAT MAY CHANGE THE HOUSE TO REPUBLICAN WHICH WILL STOP THEM FROM THESE SATANIC HATE AMERICAN BEHAVIOR. YES, I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD FOR US BUT AT LEAST IF WE DO IT WE SHALL HAVE HOPE. IF WE ALLOW THEM TO WIN WE LOSE FOREVER. THEY WILL FIX IT THAT THEY WILL BE IN POWER FOREVER AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. STAY STRONG PATIRIOTS AND PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THOSE STILL IN GOVERNMENT WHO LOVE AMERICA AND OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR FREEDOMS. THE DEMS ONLY WANT TO TAKE OUR FREEDOMS AWAY AND DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTION. PRAY DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT.
During Trump’s first 36 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama’s tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office.
Since 15 million persons have applied for unemployment(would have many more if people were able to sign up), it appears that there will actually be 10 million or more job LOSSES under Trump.
As or 9 April 2020:
More than 6.6 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims last week, bringing the total number of people who have filed for unemployment in the past three weeks to more than 16.7 million.
Way to ignore the virus Donald!
“In just three weeks, COVID-19 has triggered a jobs crisis that is truly unthinkable in its scale and scope, stretching from coast-to-coast and impacting service jobs that once seemed immune to economic ups and downs,” Andrew Stettner, senior fellow at the Century Foundation, said in a statement on Thursday, calling the jump in claims “unimaginable.”
Trump is on a roll!
Trump ignored the virus for 70 days. How many lives did his ignorance cost the U.S.?
Top Ten Causes of death in the US: (per the CDC last accumulation 2015)
613348 Heart Disease
591699 Cancer
147101 Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease
136053 Accidents inc Car Crashes and Shootings
133033 Stroke
93541 Alzheimers
76488 Diabetes
55227 Influenza and Pneumonia
48146 Kidney Disease
42773 Suicide
As of today US Deaths accounted to the Corona Virus Flu:
15634 with a new projection of 20,000 or so. EXPERTS Projections which contributed to the response told us 2.5 Billion infected in 45 days and 53 Million killed worldwide. (Forbes)
Don’t even get me started on the claim that “Social Distancing”, shutting down the Country, destroying the Economy, and throwing 3 TRILLION dollars at it (so far) has resulted in reducing that number in the US to less that half the annual suicide rate…
So get your head out of your ass and stop asking stupid questions…. how about ask who is responsible for this in the first place and who will be held accountable for the damage done by exponentially erroneous projections of the magnitude of this problem!
The 6.6 million claims filed last week would have set a record going back to 1967, when the Labor Department’s data series began, had the previous two weeks’ claims not done so already.
The gifts of a Trump presidency never end!
So you blame Trump for this??? Sounds like a serious case of TDS.
So doing nothing for 70 days is what the orange pumpkin did. That is why there are so many cases and deaths in the U.S. Navarro wrote him a memo in January that he ignored. Dumb Shit said that there were only 15 cases and there wouldn’t be any soon. And he didn’t ramp up testing. Said it was the previous administrations fault because they left faulty tests. Funny thing is the virus is new which requires a totally different test. Deny, deny, deny. That is the Drumpf way!
Like an ostrich burying his orange hair in the sand,!
Every time I listen to you democrats you can tell your actually hoping for more deaths for your own agenda and actually happy that people have lost their jobs you all have so much hatred for America your so vicious.
Guess you’re proud of Trump’s late response to the pandemic that has led to 10s of thousands of deaths?
Something you can be proud of!
You don’t get a do-over for a pandemic.
And this country has tested less than 1% of the population. You can’t make these facts go away.
This is despicable! The Republicans want this available to all small businesses. The Democrats want to discriminate. Let the companies owned by white American men die. Even though they have many people of different sexes and races in their employ. It’s immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional.
Does this mean we don’t get the stimulus checks promised next week or is that a separate bill?I know Pelosi and Schumer wanted to hold them up for 20 weeks which would be in time for the next election.That’s all they think about is power and control over the people.
That’s a lie you stupid shit.
The Democrats only know how to – Obstruct – Delay – Deny – Blame – Travel eat and drink always first class and stay at 5 star accomodations on the tax payers dime.
These people make $175,000 a years and enjoy the lifestyles of The Rich & Famous”.
At this Juncture Shumer and Pelosi’s cavalier behavior suggest this Virus is not the danger it was made out to be – it’s New, but other wise it is the same risk as seasonal flu to any of the elderly and/or those those with per-existing medical conditions. If it was truly dangerous Trump hater Bill gates would have already told them. The goal now is to provoke a locked down America against Trump and they think they will do that by delay, delay, delay, – and Bill Gates has temerity to say that “large public gatherings may not return “at all” until we have a “a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world”. So Bill Gates makes this statement in an election year? How convenient, How coincidental.
How dumb are you? They already have 350 billion that the government can’t properly distribute. Adding another 250 billion won’t help anyone faster. Passing a McConnell bill without modifications is a non-starter.
keep drinking the kool aid
There has been blood on the floor of the Chambers of Congress before.
We are rapidly approaching the point where Brass Knuckles ad Boarding Cutlasses are going to be the required tools of “debate”.
We don’t need the SWAMP spending more tax payer money. If they want to spend, they should spend the $25 million raise they just gave themselves along with the pork added into the relief bill. What the country needs is to get back to work. Soon people will get desperate, they won’t be able to take care of their families and millions will slide into poverty.
“The Constitution does not expressly grant the president additional powers in times of national emergency. However, many scholars think that the Framers implied these powers because the structural design of the Executive Branch enables it to act faster than the Legislative Branch.”
“TRUMP ADMIN WASTED TIME ON MASK BUYING: Nurses, hospital staff, and other frontline health care workers at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn are speaking out about their need for personal protective equipment. Hospitals across the country are facing critical shortages of protective gear for workers, potentially leaving nurses, doctors, and others exposed to infection. Despite knowing about the threat of the novel coronavirus in January, federal contracts show that the federal government did not make an order for N95 respirator masks until March 12, an order that would be due for delivery by April 30.”
So these are the folks who say they represent the little guy. Ya, and I have desert property for sale in Florida. Who in their right mind believes and supports these people anyway?
