You seriously could never make this stuff up. – In a series of Tweets this afternoon, GOP Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas listed the absurd list of Democrat demands that are holding up the crucial stimulus bill. Below is the text of those Tweets:
Families and businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic. But @SpeakerPelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Here’s what Speaker Pelosi is demanding while Americans suffer:
1. Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards at companies receiving assistance
2. Bailing out all current debt of postal service
3. Required early voting
4. Required same day voter registration
5. 10k bailout for student loans
6. For companies accepting assistance, 1/3 of board members must be chosen by workers
7. Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining
8. Full offset of airline emissions by 2025
9. Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
10. Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
11. $15 minimum wage at companies receiving assistance
12. Permanent paid leave at companies receiving assistance
The Democrats see an opportunity in this crisis. Not to help the American people, but to hold an emergency relief bill hostage until they get their radical wish list. How long will Arkansans and Americans across the country have to wait?
[End]
How long, indeed?
Naturally, no one in the corrupt news media is accurately reporting the Democrats’ despicable laundry list of political demands. Thus, cowardly Republicans will almost certainly capitulate to some or all of them.
This is the DC Swamp at work.
Just thought you’d like to know.
That is all.
“Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards at companies receiving assistance”
But stop the census from asking for your citizenship status.
There’s not a lick of difference between a toilet paper profiteer and what the dems are doing. porkateers.
Go to the Live senate session on PBS Newshour. Republican senators are telling their soul. Their constiuents are hurting. Just watch. I’m afraid it might me over...hurry
DEMOCRATS are VILE EVIL VICIOUS LYING DESTROYERS of GOOD people and good THINGS.
This is your 3rd blog post today.
You clearly know better than the rest of us many times over.
We’re SO stupid, thanks SO much.
THESE DEMS ARE SO DISGUSTING AND HATEFUL!
Oh, I don't know. One of the just wants some of your money and is taking advantage of market distortion, the other wants to run your life and create market distortion.
We are about to find out how damaging the fdederal government is, to our freedom and liberty. It's below worthless.
"Workers of the world, unite!" - Pelosi Marx
A list of nothing pertaining to fighting the virus. Guess the Democrats don’t think this virus is that serious, after all.
Is that sleazy bunch of Alinsky disciples trying to make Pres. Trump veto this bag of legislative manure? No Republican should cave to such extortion.
It is time to build the wall. Right down the center of Congress.
