Don’t you mean ‘let the vultures loose’?
There’s a whole lot of carrion and road kill to feast on.
Bring your own napkins!

Was it a Roll Call vote?

Or, do these schmucks get to hide behind another voice vote?

Of the US deaths NYC accounts for 36%.

Once again we pay a steep price for that one city.

According to my calculations, I get nothing and will probably be asked to give more. I’m blessed in any event. :)

It was a voice vote. Representative Massie of Kentucky tried to get a recorded vote but he was voted down. On a voice vote. He then tried to get a quorum count. He was voted down. On a voice vote. No other Republicans backed him up.
Supposedly Pelosi had made sure that there were 216 members ( a quorum) in the chamber but we will never know for certain.

Small business loan forgiveness: If I’m reading this correctly my business can get a loan through June 30 to pay for compensation, rent, and utilities or about $1.1 million per month for April, May and June. Doesn’t matter if we need it or not.

Take out a loan for $3 million, pay interest of about $35k and with loan principal forgiven make almost $3 million over the next three months...even if we don’t need it.

Is this a great country or what????

Well, let’s see:

Lost job and can’t get unemployment.
Bills still keep coming in.
Still have to eat.
All attempts to find other jobs are stymied by this quarantine.
My savings were already slim because of turmoil in the job area, and there’s nothing left now.

It’s funny how many of the Freepers here have the attitude of “Screw you, Jack. I got mine.”

Yes....I had posted, earlier, about the efforts Rep Massie was trying to make, to force a Roll Call/recorded vote.

At least someone tried to offer transparency on this Porkulus bill. :-(

I'm afraid it really is a poke in the eye. The details of some of the spending, who gets it, etc....and the provisions regarding voting.

The House just passed a bill making it possible for the dims to really steal the election this fall.

And we fell for it.

We are all Socialist now! An it’s only a stone’s throw away to from Socialism to Communism.

Where have you been. We have been controlled by the communist Democrats, communist MSM, communists DOJ, FBI and most other government agencies for years. Only Trump has seen it squarely in the eyeball before he became President and he as President is trying to save America.
