Republicans revolt against GOP's
initial stimulus plan


Divisions within the Republican conference spilled out once again Tuesday
as GOP senators dismissed key pieces of their own leadership's stimulus
proposal not even a day after its release.

Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska,
declared Tuesday "there are a hundred problems with the plan."

In particular, senators blasted the administration for
including $1.75 billion in the bill to build a new FBI building.

Republicans argued  it wasn't even related to coronavirus!

"I just don't understand it. How is it tied to coronavirus? I never
understood why we were giving money to the Kennedy Center or
National Endowment for the Arts. During a pandemic, let's
concentrate on solving the problem," Sen. Rick Scott,
a Republican from Florida said.

You continually reference links to tinymind.com.
I don't think that is a website you should be promoting. BTW, maybe you need a refresher on the government framework. Congresses NEGOTIATES/passes bills. President vetoes or signs them into law.
Like I say, maybe spend a little less time on your mental midget website, tinymind.com.


Son, it's clear from your attitude that you only come to this forum to mock/ridicule/insult
and attack ideas and members that don't agree with your political pov. But now in your
rush to mock, you are just embarrasing yourself thru your wilfull ignorance.......yet again.
(this is the second time I have had to correct you and explain simple things to you)

TinyURL.com is a free "web utility"

It's not a news or political opinion site.

It's a simple tool to shorten otherwise very long URLs (links from other sources)
down to a tiny size so that a "source link" can fit neatly on just one line


So simple in fact, I'll bet even YOU could figure out how to use it.

Except since you never post LINKS to credible sources, you won't ever have need of it.

What do you make of all the pork barrel spending that is in the DEM bill ?   Will they hold all of those unemployed hostage , while DEMS seek their selfish quests ?  By your records,  this was the " sole" form of income for these unfortunate unemployed folks.  Why do you hold a loose relationship with the truth  ? 

BTW, I find your copy/paste skills to be impressive.  an_clap

On Friday, he told CNN's Poppy Harlow that he co-authored and published a CEA report titled "Mitigating the Impact of Pandemic Influenza through Vaccine Innovation" that warned a pandemic disease could kill as many as half a million Americans and cause up to $3.79 trillion in damage to the US economy. Previously,  Trump has insisted that no one could have foreseen or prevented the coronavirus outbreak, but Harlow pointed out on Friday that Philipson's 41-page report was presented to senior White House officials in September of last year!!! "You guys told them at the highest levels of the White House  last year this could happen," she said.  Philipson acknowledged the report was presented  to President Trump or his top officials. "The White House is fully aware of what CEA puts out," he said.   Proving again, that trump admin was forewarned and they did SQUAT....other than blaming previous president who is black, of course.
so trumpet was warned last septembr .

President Donald Trump explicitly floated delaying November's presidential election on Thursday, lending extraordinary voice to persistent concerns that he would seek to circumvent voting in a contest where he currently trails his opponent by double digits.

Trump has no authority to delay an election, and the Constitution gives Congress the power to set the date for voting. Yet Trump's message provides an opening -- long feared by Democrats -- that both he and his supporters might refuse to accept the results of the presidential results.
But in his tweet on Thursday morning -- coming 96 days before the election and minutes after the federal government reported the worst economic contraction in recorded history -- Trump offered the suggestion because he claimed without evidence the contest will be flawed.
"With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA," he wrote. "Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"
There is no evidence that mail-in voting leads to fraud.
Trump has previously sought to stoke fear and lay the groundwork to question the election's results by promoting the idea that mail-in voting leads to widespread fraud and a "rigged" election. Democrats have warned that his efforts are meant both to suppress voting and to provide a reason to refuse to leave office should he lose.

that last line is a ringing bell with flashing redlights and sirens . but since republicans want to win at all costs no matter what they will ignore this or dismiss it as fake news . typical

Forget it Rush. 

Kelly and Fubah are best ignored. You are not going to have a rational conversation with either of them. They have proven themselves incapable and even worse, unwilling. 

I wouldn't say that about any of the other Dems here. 

But those two guys are a lost cause. No one even pops in to defend Fubah anymore. It's like his party is deserting him.

NBA season resumes with players, coaches, and
game officials all kneeling during the National Anthem


(CNN) Players with the New Orleans Pelicans and the Utah Jazz restarted
the NBA's season by kneeling during the National Anthem.
Moments before tipoff on Thursday evening, the players, who were joined
by coaches and game officials, all took a knee.
The players also wore black "Black Lives Matter" shirts both during
warm-ups and during the National Anthem.

After the moment, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he will not
force players to stand during the anthem.
"I respect our teams' unified act of peaceful protest for
social justice and under these unique circumstances
will not enforce our long-standing rule requiring standing
during the playing of our national anthem."


The New Orleans Pelicans, in a statement, said the team stands by
the "ideals of freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest."

Is trump admin LARGELY responsible for covid-19 disaster in America?

Some facts speak for themselves...

Here are 4 countries located in very close proximity to CHINA.
Each of them got their first case of covid-19 on or about the same day as the US.
Social-distancing is difficult in countries so densely packed, but they are all
well-known for their widespread and consistent use  of  face-masks.
Here is how they have responded to the outbreak since January:

Taiwan death toll =                       7    (0.3 per million)
Hong Kong death toll =              34    (5 per million)
S. Korean death toll =              301    (6 per million)
Japan death toll =                 1,011    (8 per million)

American death toll = 154,744   (478 per million)

Source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

And here are 4 countries who are NOT known for public mask-wearing
but took very aggressive NATIONWIDE action   (unlike trump):

New Zealand =  4 deaths per million
Australia =         8 deaths per million
Norway =         47 deaths per million
Germany =    110 deaths per million

Neil Young takes Trump's reelection campaign
to court for copyright infringement

(CNN) Rock & Roll legend Neil Young has sued President Donald Trump's
reelection campaign for copyright infringement over its use of two songs
at the President's political rallies and events.
"This complaint is not intended to disrespect the rights and opinions of
American citizens, who are free to support the candidate of their choosing,"
Young's lawyers wrote in the complaint, which was filed on Tuesday in the
Southern District of New York and posted on the artist's website.
"However, Plaintiff in good conscience cannot allow his music
to be used as a 'theme song' for a divisive, un-American campaign
of ignorance and hate."
The President's reelection campaign repeatedly played "Rockin' in the Free World"
and "Devil's Sidewalk" at several rallies without seeking permission,
including at the June 20 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma
