https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-block-key-vote-on-2-trillion-coronavirus-bill-as-senate-floor-erupts-with-partisan-anger/ar-BB11xjB8FFS! The existing bill is aimed to put money into people's hands so that they can survive, into businesses so that the economy doesn't crash and into medical care so that hospitals and staff have the resources they need to treat patients and Pelosi and Schumer are trying to hijack the fucking thing so that they can force through ill advised ideological bullshit additions that have nothing to so with the current crisis including: Increasing the bargaining power of the unionsImposing racial and gender pay equity provisionsDiversity on corporate boardsIncrease use of minority owned banks by Federal offices. Cancel all debt owed to the Treasury by the US Postal serviceIncreased fuel emission standards and mandatory carbon offsets for airlinesTax credits for alternative energy programsStudent loan payment defermentSuspending various aspects of immigration lawsImposing requirements on states for early voting, postal voting, required mailing of absentee ballots to everyone and ballot harvesting.Imposing online voter registration and same day registration.Now what the fuck does any of that have to do with the current crisis, at a stretch the only one I can see out of that which is even slightly relevant would be student loan deferment given that the universities are currently closed. This is a time where partisan bickering needs to be put aside for the benefit of the country and it's citizens. This is nothing more than a disgusting betrayal of the electorate. To borrow a line from Picard, sheer fucking hubris. Come the election this is going to be the death knell for the Democrats and they damn well deserve it.

Pelosi swanned off on vacation while McConnel and other senators stayed to work on a bipartisan aid package and then the moment she swans back into office she pulls this stunt. As far as I'm concerned the blood of anyone who dies of the virus while this bullshit is going on is on the hands of Pelosi and Schumer. You may think that opinion is a little strong but my brother and his family live just outside of Chicago, to say I'm worried about them in an understatement with bullshit like this going on.

Seal them in their home(s) and let nature take it's course.

Mine came in 7.53am, was tempted to reply to it along the lines of 'no kidding it's only been on the TV every other minute since Boris spoke'But why waste the RSI on that
