Y'all know this is the same pile of shit omnibus bill, right? McCarthy is doing the right thing here, separate the pork from the stimulus and then sign in.
Glad this is the first remark. The article is vague AF and published by the NYT trying to make the guy look bad.
In reality, the "$2000" bill Trump demanded is with the pork REMOVED, not the same bill with more money.
It means they put us all in debt for over 700B to everyone in the world but Americans and then gave much less than 200B of our grandchildren's money to us.
No wonder Pelosi was all, "Yeah, let's do it!" More more more more money is always good to them; AND more for other countries and stupid pork? Hell Ya!
Ilhan Omar jumped on it early while the commies were agreeing on the $2000. She didn't coordinate with them, so she got confused and added the standalone part.
In other words, Trump vetoed it, saving us all, and it's still vetoed. In other words, Congress has failed to do anything, once again giving us all a perfect illustration of why that's a good thing.
Yeah, he's probably opposing this because it's some complete garbage, and they've just thrown the $2,000 in there. This bill doesn't do us any good if all that same insanity is in there.
All of the people mad about this must be greedy SOBs that just want the cash. We shouldn't want anything if it's at the cost of all that pork. Who cares about two grand if well owe more of that in debt via future taxes.
This. I feel bad for the restaurant workers and others who have been screwed over by the governor. If they were receiving PUA assistance, it ends on Dec 26th. They will have a gap and may have to reapply. Even though Trumps intentions are great with the 2k, the fallout is screwing over tons of poor who would have been better off with the 600 bill. I'm also pissed about the lizards on treadmills and foreign aid bit, but money laundering has been going on forever in the annual bills. Fight that battle after reelection!
Don't be a fool. This isn't your own money that they would potentially be giving back to you. That's called a spending cut and tax cut. In other words, being responsible and keeping their hands out of your wallet in the first place. That's never going to happen.
This is a tax increase. They print worthless fake, free money, and give that to you and everyone else in God's green earth, which necessarily deflates not only your "free money" but all our current assets, and future earnings. Then they raise your taxes. They're not giving you money, they're impoverishing generations of Americans and stealing our freedoms forever.
Yes, except I WANT them to vote no on this bill with all the pork. The pork and other poison clauses are why they shouldn't have passed it in the first place and shouldn't pass it now.
This wasn't a monstrosity because of how little the American people were getting. This wasn't even a monstrosity because of how little the American people were getting COMPARED to other countries and special interests, even though this point is helping wake people up.
It was a monstrosity because of all the other shit in it. Upping the amount to $2k and leaving everything else doesn't change the fact that this bill is a monstrosity and should never be passed.
What do you mean? They did vote on it, which told us everything we needed to know. We don't need the government to print fake fiat money and "give" it to us, saddling generations to come with fake debt. Don't be fooled. They're not proposing to give us anything. They're proposing to impoverish us all for generations to come.
WTF are you talking about, stimulus? Is that like shovel ready jobs? The only thing they're stimulating is inflation, debt, economic downturn, poverty, mass corruption and loss of freedom for generations to come.
Did you even look at what they were doing? They kept the entire bill that was full of pork and added the $2,000 on top. He killed it because it was the same damn bill with a larger handout on top. This is what he SHOULD have done.
Yet he didn't block the original bill with $600 and pork. It's almost as if his problem was with the $2000 checks and not with the pork. McCarthy has plenty of his own pork in that bill actually.
Oh come on. It's free money! Free money I SAY! Give us all FREE MONEY! GIVE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD FREE MONEY! EVERYBODY COME RUNNING THE USA IS GIVING AWAY FREE MONEY. LET'S ALL GET SOME. GIVE US ALL SOME MORE FREE MONEY!
That would be an interesting experiment.. I wonder how fast the US Government could deliver a wire transfer to every American for $1M dollars? Imagine the scenario where with no notice, we all get $1M deposited to our bank accounts at exactly the same time. What would you buy, and how fast could you spend it before it became worthless? Based upon what you bought, how long would it take you to starve?
Yeah I don't give a shit what any politician's motivations are. All that matters is their actions. And if the Dems deliver on this while Republicans kill it, the GOP is dead to me.
What do you mean "deliver on this"? Did they put forward a clean bill to help the American people with no strings attached that I didn't hear about?
If any of the politicians actually gave a shit about helping the American people that's what they would do. But they're holding the American people hostage to get the shit they actually care about more passed.
That would be great. Do you have a source for that? I tried DDGing it and just get a bunch of MSM articles talking about GEOTUS "torpedoing" the covid relief bill
This is the official statement on www.speaker.gov :
“On Monday, I will bring the House back to session where we will hold a recorded vote on our stand-alone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000."
Today it was blocked by House GOP but they can't block it from a recorded vote on Monday.
Thanks for the link. Hopefully this really is just a clean bill to provide $2k to Americans with no strings attached, but the language in the statement is sneaky. "...to INCREASE economic impact payments..."
My concern is if it's truly a stand-alone bill it wouldn't INCREASE anything, but rather PROVIDE it. I wonder if this "stand-alone" bill references the monstrosity bill that the rest of her statement mentions:
“Hopefully by then the President will have already signed the bipartisan and bicameral legislation to keep government open and to deliver coronavirus relief.”
I guess time will tell... But my trust of any politician, but especially Nancy Pelosi is non-existent.
This "article" is just retards proving they are retarded. If they don't remove all the garbage, this bill should be vetoed, even if it were to give 100,000 to all Americans.
Too many stupid low information people only care about the amount of free money they’re gonna get. These are the same people that are anti-trump. They just read headlines and never know the full story
Even if only single congressperson is what it takes to kill the $2000 relief for people, whoever does that is by definition the enemy of The People. Be it Democrat or Republican.
That’s also the reason why every news story is variation of “GOP blocks $2000 stimulus“
They are framing this as 2000 vs 600 and GOP is the reason Nance couldn’t get anything better than 600 because that pesky GOP
Completely ignoring anything to do with pork, because that can’t be part of the narrative
The swamp narrative is: GOP blocks any efforts for stimulus, Nancy did her best given the circumstances, Trump ‘throws wrench’ in negotiations and bucks his own party (chaos!), and it’s all GOP fault as they’re unorganized and they have no idea what they actually want
they need that bill intact because it basically stops Trump from using the insurrection act, there is a provision in there stripping him of those powers apparently, believe it or not.
Trump demands $2000 check to individuals, Democrats love idea of “free” money, Republicans try to figure out whether throwing out “free” money to citizens will be a win for Democrats and whether they can screw their big money donor base as MSM will paint them as grinches holding up stimulus to Americans while their voter base is burning down their phone lines and ready to drag them from office....
Will this hamper negotiations for a veto proof vote on bill? Maybe sending taxpayers money back to them is Trump playing 4d chess and setting off smoke bomb in the middle of the Congress critters? 🤔
When a rep has to hide his ideas from the public...its a clearnindication that hes not repping the public.
At least dont be a fucking pussy..if you believe that us taxpayers shouldnt get money.mthen at least have the the fucking balls to say it to public.
This just shows that he KNOWS its wrong.
I dont want a handout...id much rather just be allowed keep the $25,000 that got seized from my paycheck this year. The fact that its ludicrous to keep what I earned is the problem.
Is that why the GOP liked it the first time? I don't want it at all. Open up and let the economy do it's job. Republicans filled that shit bill with their trash as well. Swamp is on both sides
Y'all know this is the same pile of shit omnibus bill, right? McCarthy is doing the right thing here, separate the pork from the stimulus and then sign in.
Agree wholeheartedly
Doing the right thing? He voted for it the first time. GOP and DNC are both in favor of this absolute shit bill.
He was for it before he was against it.
He was in it before he pulled out of it.
Glad this is the first remark. The article is vague AF and published by the NYT trying to make the guy look bad. In reality, the "$2000" bill Trump demanded is with the pork REMOVED, not the same bill with more money.
It means they put us all in debt for over 700B to everyone in the world but Americans and then gave much less than 200B of our grandchildren's money to us.
"Pork Barrel Politics" - basically politicians using funds for personal projects or paying off people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_barrel
Clarification here. Killing the unanimous consent simply means that the bill won’t be
It means the whole bill will go up for re debate.
Yeah, we want this bill dead. We don't want the same bill but with more money printed to pay 2000 to everyone.
No wonder Pelosi was all, "Yeah, let's do it!" More more more more money is always good to them; AND more for other countries and stupid pork? Hell Ya!
Weirdly, Ilan Omar had the right idea for once and tweeted support for a $2.000/person standalone bill.
Ilhan Omar jumped on it early while the commies were agreeing on the $2000. She didn't coordinate with them, so she got confused and added the standalone part.
More debt just brings the U.S. closer to financial collapse and the Great Reset
In other words, Trump vetoed it, saving us all, and it's still vetoed. In other words, Congress has failed to do anything, once again giving us all a perfect illustration of why that's a good thing.
Yeah, he's probably opposing this because it's some complete garbage, and they've just thrown the $2,000 in there. This bill doesn't do us any good if all that same insanity is in there.
Because they didn't read it.
All of the people mad about this must be greedy SOBs that just want the cash. We shouldn't want anything if it's at the cost of all that pork. Who cares about two grand if well owe more of that in debt via future taxes.
This. I feel bad for the restaurant workers and others who have been screwed over by the governor. If they were receiving PUA assistance, it ends on Dec 26th.

Of course he read it way beforehand. He's one of the 4 Congress leaders. The ones who didn't read it are the regular House Reps. and Senators.
Pieces of shit
Trump wanted to remove the pork and increase the stimulus.
This bill doesn't do that. It keeps the pork.The NYT is playing on your emotion.
The GOP are not our friends.
WTF are you talking about, stimulus? Is that like shovel ready jobs? The only thing they're stimulating is inflation, debt, economic downturn, poverty, mass corruption and loss of freedom for generations to come.
Did you even look at what they were doing? They kept the entire bill that was full of pork and added the $2,000 on top. He killed it because it was the same damn bill with a larger handout on top. This is what he SHOULD have done.
Yet he didn't block the original bill with $600 and pork. It's almost as if his problem was with the $2000 checks and not with the pork. McCarthy has plenty of his own pork in that bill actually.
He's doing the right thing now
We don't want $2,000 if it's at the cost of accepting the pork. He did the right thing "this time".
Oh come on. It's free money! Free money I SAY! Give us all FREE MONEY! GIVE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD FREE MONEY! EVERYBODY COME RUNNING THE USA IS GIVING AWAY FREE MONEY. LET'S ALL GET SOME. GIVE US ALL SOME MORE FREE MONEY!
For real... What's so bad about handing out money?! If we all had more we'd be rich!
That would be an interesting experiment.. I wonder how fast the US Government could deliver a wire transfer to every American for $1M dollars? Imagine the scenario where with no notice, we all get $1M deposited to our bank accounts at exactly the same time. What would you buy, and how fast could you spend it before it became worthless? Based upon what you bought, how long would it take you to starve?
I guess I would have to buy a herd of cattle and a small plot of land to grow my own veggies.
How many days do you think you might have to do all that before your $1M was worthless? ;)
Traitors
Sooooo I guess we’re switching places on who the “good guys” are. Seems like GOP and Dems got the memo all at the same time.
Yeah I don't give a shit what any politician's motivations are. All that matters is their actions. And if the Dems deliver on this while Republicans kill it, the GOP is dead to me.
I can see why I wouldnt want to work at a grocery store if I was layed off from a high paying salary. Thankfully, I still have my job though.
Yea it would be mostly pride and people I know seeing me working at a grocery store. I'm not perfect. Thank goodness I wont need to choose tho.
Odds are we are borrowing from ourselves and future generations over Chyna.
You are an idiot. The bill is garbage that takes our rights away and gives billions to special interest and other countries.
This is a shit bill
What do you mean "deliver on this"? Did they put forward a clean bill to help the American people with no strings attached that I didn't hear about?
If any of the politicians actually gave a shit about helping the American people that's what they would do. But they're holding the American people hostage to get the shit they actually care about more passed.
They did actually. It's being voted on Monday. We'll see if Mitch delivers.
That would be great. Do you have a source for that? I tried DDGing it and just get a bunch of MSM articles talking about GEOTUS "torpedoing" the covid relief bill
This is the official statement on www.speaker.gov :

There’s not enough info there to call it disgusting. Maybe he opposed it because they kept the pork in.
He voted for the "pork" the first time
And R voted for pork every year prior to this. Swamp is still swampy.
Exactly. Bunch of Grand Ole Pussies
Too many stupid low information people only care about the amount of free money they’re gonna get. These are the same people that are anti-trump. They just read headlines and never know the full story
If the pork is not removed kil it and shutdown the worthless government
Look up what an omnibus bill is.
This SHOULD pass by unanimous consent though.
Even if only single congressperson is what it takes to kill the $2000 relief for people, whoever does that is by definition the enemy of The People. Be it Democrat or Republican.
That’s the key, and the reason it won’t happen.
That’s also the reason why every news story is variation of “GOP blocks $2000 stimulus“
They are framing this as 2000 vs 600 and GOP is the reason Nance couldn’t get anything better than 600 because that pesky GOP

This should not pass at all. The bill is garbage.
What are you, a Sudanese Dem who works at the closed Kennedy Center?
wtf is a kennedy center
It's an arts center that the Dems use to launder taxpayer money. How can you defend it and not know what it is? Bruh.
Headline reads “Caught on Call” - Is there a link to the actual audio?
Good. We don’t want to give Billions to other countries.
And I 100% support it. This is the same shit but with a bigger bribe for the american people.
Let me guess he wants to spend 5 trillion dollars on gender studies in usbekistan instead?
Blah
They would rather take it away from the people than make Trump look good, since it was his idea.
You people really are stupid. Look at what is in the bill.
I'm not talking about the bill, the bill is crap, I'm talking about the $2000.
I wish Republicans would "sneek" some pro gun stuff in these massive bills. Why do the commies always get to have all the fun. Offence please.
I’m interested to know why he would do that? Does he need some phone calls...??? Start making phone calls and blow him up!
Good. Fuck this massive spending bill.
Sounds like BS. Need details
WTF I LOVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING NOW.
GOP are all Pieces of Garbage. Just reversed
they need that bill intact because it basically stops Trump from using the insurrection act, there is a provision in there stripping him of those powers apparently, believe it or not.
Seems misleading. He is speaking against unanimous vote, which would kill the bill anyways
It's well beyond time for tar and feather a.
As most here know, this is not an R vs. D thing, it is a UniParty/Swamp vs. Patriots thing.
Is this True? Because I never really trusted this guy... always a gut feeling. But I have to see the proof.
It's probably got nothing to do with the amount of stimulus, and everything to do with all the rest of the pork that goes with it.
This guy is trying to help. Do some research, moron.
No, he's opposing the omnibus. This is a GOOD thing. Kill the pork!
Careful, could be misinfo
I am tired of elected officials padding their pockets while the rest of the country stands by!
Trump demands $2000 check to individuals, Democrats love idea of “free” money, Republicans try to figure out whether throwing out “free” money to citizens will be a win for Democrats and whether they can screw their big money donor base as MSM will paint them as grinches holding up stimulus to Americans while their voter base is burning down their phone lines and ready to drag them from office....

That is very true.

Wow what a fucking piece of shit.
You are an idiot. Look at what's in the bill.
It's not the money for Americans that is the problem. It is the rights being taken away and the money for other countries that is the problem.
Is that why the GOP liked it the first time? I don't want it at all. Open up and let the economy do it's job. Republicans filled that shit bill with their trash as well. Swamp is on both sides
Blah
Blah
