Well….after the passage of the wildly popular covid relief bill yesterday, without one repub vote in either the House or Senate, we need to make sure that the repubs don’t use the bill to lie to the American people…after all, they did nothing to pass it or to give input on what should be in it other than say that tax cuts for the rich should have been included. Just yesterday, the bullshit started with a repub senator touting the help the bill would give to small businesses when he voted no on the bill and he made it look like he was part of the approval and was taking credit for it…just another lie that flows from the mouths of repubs as easily as they breathe. So far, the rest of the repubs have been uncharacteristically silent on the bill since even they can see that going against the most popular bill in 40 years is not the smartest thing to do but the flip side of that is that our side needs to shout it that the repubs didn’t have anything do with by their own choice, they were not shut out of the negotiations by the bad old dems, they chose bad faith amendments that would gut the bill and prevent the American people from getting the help they need to survive this pandemic…again I ask this question: with more than 70% support of the bill, who are the repubs representing? This bill is the most progressive one in my lifetime and really does help most of the American people and make their lives easier and is the difference between us and the repubs…all they do is hurt people and try to restrict participation by voter suppression and the hate they level on anyone who is not a white christian is the purpose of their party…I hope Americans understand that there is only one party that cares about them…and it is not the repubs…

I guess the repubs don’t represent anyone…
Well…yeah, I’m really late today and it has just been from busy work around here…oh, and I did get 10 miles in on the bike today for the first time in 6 weeks and that felt good…but, that’s not what this is about…as you know, or I hope you do, the dems have been trying to put together a covid relief plan that would get the economy working for everyone again and it includes some more direct payments along with money to help cities, states, and struggling businesses and help pay to re-open schools….the latest polls say the even 59% of repubs really like the bill and want it passed along with enough dems and independents tot get the support to over 70%…so, what are the repubs that represent these 70% of the country doing? Yep, doing everything they can in the senate to derail it and stop it’s passage….so who the hell do these repubs represent? If 70% of the country want this bill passed and the repubs aren’t going to help, I guess we need to look for who they really represent…and this time it’s not even business since even the damn Chamber of Commerce wants it passed…so who? I don’t think it’s anyone but their own little shitty brains that have only one mode left…oppose anything the dems want even it it will hurt the country and it’s popular…so, we need to make them pay in 2022….what a bunch of assholes…
Cheapskates…
Well…can it be any more obvious who the repubs in congress care the most about? I certainly isn’t the people of this country who are suffering from unemployment, underemployment, and the virus that is raging across the country…and you can see that by the supposed “relief” bill that is being passed in congress right now that is only about a third of the tax cuts they gave to the rich a few years back…and even in this bill, there are more tax cuts for the rich and the one that really shows how cynical they are is one they just had to have…to make the “three martini lunch” tax deductible again where rich folks can take each other out for dining at over priced restaurants and deduct the entire cost from their taxes…something that most working people can’t afford in the first place. So now, along with all of the tax cuts they are given, we are going to be buying the rich assholes lunch every damn day…and how much help is it going to be to someone who is losing their home or getting evicted when they get the paltry 600 dollars that the poor folks get? Every damn sentient economist has said that this is just not enough to help pull the country out of the recession it is in but moscow mitch and his cronies have said this is all they are going to do…they are done helping the lazy assed takers who can’t find a job in the pandemic economy…and that goes for the 1.4 million people who were added to the unemployed last month and the 20+ million who were already out of work…this is why we need to win both senate seats in the Georgia runoff in January…that would give us the majority we need to really help the people of this country and build the economy that would work for everyone…not just mitch’s cronies…
