...Coronavirus Bailout Bill Today

Folks, this was done to tank the markets. This was done to resist President Trump. This was done to screw over the American worker. The Senate has a $1.6 trillion Wuhan coronavirus bailout package that Democrats co-wrote. They filibustered it on Sunday night. We all know why they’re doing this. This isn’t a secret. The Dow Jones is down some 600 points as we speak and now, they’re trying to logroll stuff that is unrelated to this pandemic. Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said this move ( is to shift the economic agenda) more to the progressive Left’s vision. Guy (wrote up) the laundry list the left wants right now. And now, as Cortney ( wrote), they blocked the bailout package again. They hope to have a deal by the end of the day (via Politico):

Thanks, just forwarded this to my Berniebot friend, though I wonder if I will not have the friend after this. No matter, this whole Dem takeover of the process for their own unrelated agenda is disgusting.

If there was a crime that goes above and beyond High Treason, this is it.

I think it would be more effective to build a wall around the capital building than the time and expense of the one on our southern border....

Senate chamber boils over.

- Sen. Collins asked to speak, Schumer objected.
- Sen. Cotton shouted, “C’mon”, “This is bullshit!”
- Collins walked thru her row to Schumer - stood a foot or so away, finger pointed, exclaimed, “you are objecting to my speaking? This is appalling!”

2/

- Republicans were now nearly all standing, loudly voicing anger.
- Schumer was trying to sort out, with his staff, how to communicate what he was doing. (He wanted to ask about schedule and offer some votes but notably seems he had not signaled that to the GOP beforehand).
— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) March 23, 2020

3/

- Sen. Cotton, standing near the well, presses the point and in an oddly “I am Spartacus!” moment, asks to speak himself.
- Schumer: objection.
- Sen. Cassidy is now Spartacus, asks to speak.
- Schumer: objection.

Yertle is sorta like that Old West Sheriff who doesn’t give a crap about stuff going on in the range, or in other towns, but won’t let you shoot up his town.
