Sen. Kennedy on GOP response to Heroes Act: 'We can't get our heads that far up our rear ends'
Fox News ^ | May 17 2020 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 05/17/2020 10:42:03 AM PDT by knighthawk

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on Sunday that he believes the $3 trillion Heroes Act that the Democrat-led House passed late last week has no chance of clearing the Senate – arguing that it is more of a Democrat wish list than it is legislation meant to ease the economic blow from the coronavirus pandemic.

“It's not going to pass the Senate, nor should it,” Kennedy said during an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “My fellow Republicans in the Senate have tried to see things from the speaker's point of view, but we can't get our heads that far up our rear ends, and I think any fair-minded American would agree.”

Democrats on Friday powered the massive $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill through the House, an election-year measure they say is designed to brace a U.S. economy in free fall and a health care system struggling to contain a pandemic still pummeling the country.

Heroes Act indeed. Just another rat maneuver to establish a talking point for the 2020 elections.

The Rats are freakin out. They thought this viral terror attack would last all the way to the election, instead it’s completely crapping out and the election is half a year away.

FAILED AGAIN!

Attempted coup? FAIL

Hoax impeachment? FAIL

Viral terror attack? FAIL

What are the Treasonists going to pull next? Set off a nuke?

The Democrats hole card in the election game is voter fraud.

The Hero Act. When Pelosi says TWO TRILLION IS NOT ENOUGH.

He needs to be president just for the comedy alone- or VP at least- the press briefings would be even awesomer then. Or maybe President Trump could name him as Co Medical Czar (or whaTEVER PENCE’S TITLE IS) and he could brief reporters- bet that would be something to talk about lol

Regarding Heroes Act, desperate Democrats are once again trying to buy votes from low-information voters with unconstitutional federal spending, spending that Pelosi cannot justify under Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Otherwise, what’s new?

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

What are the Treasonists going to pull next?

Some large but simple false flag incidents a la Putin's 1999 apartment hose bombings.

The intel establishment has plenty of Russian made explosives and willing trained accomplices to execute some outrages and start yelling ‘Trump is responsible. He let the Russian in. He failed to protect America in the most basic way’. Think a major NCAA football game in a blue state or a big theme park on Labor Day weekend. The people who tried to orchestrate a coup are willing to do whatever under the rubric of ‘the ends justify the means’ to try this to bring down some one they hate with demonically irrational hatred and to protect themselves from the consequences of four more years of DJT.

FAIL is correct!!
I mentioned on another thread that WE basically agree that Congress/Senate get NOTHING done.

WRONG...in 6 months the LIBs have impeached a duly elected President and ‘broke the back’— with the help of the MSM (but I repeat myself)— of the economy and life as we knew it.. (AND got a bunch of what was considered, somewhat intelligent people to climb on the band wagon)
Wonder how many of those ‘chicken little advocates’ would climb on the bus taking them to the train that will take them to a ‘beerflu free camp’ -with a stop at the ‘showers’ on the way.
SHEEPLE-apparently- come in all sizes, shapes and mindsets...

PDJT just

PICKS HIMSELF UP
DUSTS HIMSELF OFF
AND STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN.
(HMMM Think I will try to put those words in a song)

If they set off that nuke, with their track record they will hopefully set off the one designed to wipe out LIBs.

I still contend that PDJT should sign an EO that REQUIRES one to inhale and exhale every few seconds.

‘WE’ will be able to wipe out quite a few of the

“IF HE THINKS IT, I AINTA GONNA DO IT” crowd...

Every Democrat in every House and Senate should be made to answer for why they voted for / supported massive tax cuts for the super rich, including giving wealth investors the right to claimant Earned Income Tax Credit, which is supposed to be for the working poor.

By “we,” of course, he refers to everyone not a democrat.
