    Then they should be removed, forcibly if needed and get some competence to help people that are need. I'm honestly perplexed that you support holding the American people up for ransom!

    Nov. 3rd. Election Day.

    Anybody who doesn't like it, can vote them out.

    Problem solved.

    McConnell can end things right now.

    Just give the Dems what they want.

    Economy will be properly destroyed by then. We don't have months... We have days!

    You replied to my post, Steve... and then I replied to yours. Please keep the chronology straight.... And I responded with more than "that chart"... I explained what the chart clearly shows!

    In my Post #221, I pointed out that Democrats want to add $200/month to the Social Security cost-of-living increase immediately. Do you doubt that 70,000,000 Baby Boomers, who make up approximately 21.2% of the total U. S. population won't find that to be a good thing? In juxtaposition with the Republican offering, NO such increase in SS is mentioned at all. I provided that chart to show that SS has gone three of the last ten years without any cost-of-living increase at all, and the increases that were provided were almost invisible.

    I've also pointed out in this thread that Democrats propose that any bailout for Korporate Amerika must forbid using any of this bailout money to buy back corporate stock, or the stock of any other company, either. Do you imagine that most Americans wouldn't approve of the addition of a requirement like that?

    You asked what about the Democrat offering would make a "better deal"... I offer you those two things, in addition now to the fact that Democrats have "upped the ante" on the handout-welfare money over what Republicans came out with. Republicans offered $1,200 per adult... Democrats offer $1,500 per adult. It's a 'bidding war' for votes next November... don't you see that...? And, yeah, if the government's going to shovel out money, most Americans would tell you that they want MORE of it, and not LESS....

    If you disagree, I suggest you start a poll question about this matter right here in the Forum, and I think you'll see that what I've suggested is true.

    Or do what we do with any serious hostage situation and send in Seal team 6! And if you do not see this as serious, then you are either trolling or just oblivious to reality!

    Why would anyone agree to provisions that will not STIMULATE the economy. Especially at this dangerous time? Have the dems finally hit mass insanity?

    The Dems hit mass insanity when they decided to pick a decayed, incoherent moron like ol' Joe Biden to be their 'standard-bearer' in the forthcoming election.

    My, such an emotional tirade.

    Are you sure you're up to this whole "internet" thing?

    Was that you notion when the GOP was holding out for defunding Planned Parenthood or for funding to build a border wall during budget negotiations a few years ago. The DNC claimed that the GOP was holding the country hostage for their political agenda. So, what is different this time? Who is it holding the country hostage this time?

    Your BS is absolutely indefensible and it's why you won't even attempt to justify what they're doing. You just cast blame but couldn't even attempt to support what you're saying.

    Side X wants a bill solely devoted to helping americans with this crisis.

    Side Y won't vote in favor of it because they want things added that have nothing to do with the crisis.

    It's CRYSTAL CLEAR who's at fault here.

    The hatred that exists on the left is despicable.

    More total BS that you won't even attempt to defend. Seriously you have to be on some Democrat politicians payroll to spew out this type of nonsense without even attempting to defend it.

    The Dems had the first chance to end it, they chose not to. Their fault.

    But you, YET AGAIN, won't even attempt to defend what you say or what the dems are doing.

    You can blame that on all the Democrat saboteurs that Obama/Biden left behind.

    The dems attempted to impeach and remove trump from office for their hoax allegations of withholding aid from Ukraine. While that was going on trump was banning Chinese travel because of this virus that the WHO said wasn’t a big deal, the left said he was overacting and racist for doing so.

    now Nancy P and her party are literally withholding relief aid to Americans for the virus they said the President was overeating to.

    And all you do is completely evade and ignore everything I painstakingly tried to present to you honestly, because I mistakenly thought you were serious.

    You're actually just a troll, and a rather lazy, second-rate, inarticulate one at that, with nothing to say, evidently.... So, go along happily along now and have a nice whatever it is that people like you have, Mr.Big.... :xd:

    Truth? You never made any 'effort' at all.... Or, if that was consistent with your concept of what an 'effort' would be... how pathetic.

    You may feel free to jump in now and someone will come along and push the handle.... :toilet:
