I believe the Turtle is the one that adjourns the Senate. He could've just not done that.

Why would they intentionally let the economy tank even harder just a few short months before an election? I cannot for the life of me fathom the political calculus that led to this. I mean, I know they are terrible and don't care about people, but this is going to hit their base just as hard as anyone else.
Doubt. Democrats will be vilified to a certain extent but a large part of the poor numbers Trump, and by extension GOP senators, are seeing is because of their poor handling of Covid. This is just another arm of that shitty response
Why does this matter if Trump signed the executive orders that are helping everyone get everything they need?
Right...
Right...
I can literally see myself graduating in 6 months into an absolutely devastated economy that is gonna need decades to recover. Fucking insanity
Democrat senators and representatives (not sure if they're on recess or not) better fucking stay there the whole time and make it known.
Don't leave any room for optics on who's fucking responsible. This is and always is a battle of public perception, no one gives a shit anymore about the truth.

Yeah there's some harrowing posts on the unemployment sub on reddit. People are getting real desperate and I don't blame them. They can't wait till the Senate comes back from vacation time. Fucking unbelievable.
It's fucking disgusting. None of these people will have any problem paying for their estates or putting food on the table for their families. All of them have some of the best healthcare possible.
They have all of that because they were elected by the people to serve their county - and in a time of dire and significant need, when the country is being strangled at the throat, these fucking assholes can't get anything done and decide to go home for a month.
I am so fucking infuriated by this.
Never forget that the Senate Republicans, who have a majority, would rather every American starve than help fund cities, states, schools, small businesses and the USPS with COVID relief.
Never forget that those same people are literally telling people to reopen the schools they won't help with COVID relief.

If Nancy/Chuck and the WH negotiators reach a deal, a bi-partisan vote can still be held remotely about reconvening the Senate to vote on whatever bill gets agreed upon. Doesn't look likely, though, as both Pelosi and Mnuchin both agreed that neither side has budged since talks broke down last week.
Wow, the GOP Senate sucks so much. It's sickening that they care more about their personal time off than the needs of the country. I'm so pissed right now.
I'm talking more about publicly and physically accosting Republicans 24/7
Hard to blame this on Republicans when tons of them call this virus a hoax and have gone on record opposing more stimulus.
They'll be protesting at the voting booth. That means a bunch of Republican senators losing their seats, but unfortunately also means a bunch of freshman democratic House members are in trouble as well, and they've been pushing Nancy to make at least a smaller deal that takes care of 1200 dollar checks and unemployment benefits.
The news media should be talking about this non-stop for the next three weeks to shame the American oligarchs that rule over you with their boots stamping on your face.
Ahahahahaha just kidding the corporate media ain't gonna do shit.
America has the best politicians that money can buy.

My understanding is if the senate passes it and Trump signs it then he could be signing a document that prevents him from getting re-elected for sure (nationwide vote by mail is in the bill). Not to mention also senate seats flipping because of it.
So yeah I can see why they are stone walling. It's about losing their chances at re-election.

Going home and doing nothing to help the average American, all during a pandemic where bills they passed are helping the rich become even more richer through a stock market that continues to get propped up.
Yeah I know it isn't the Senate propping up the market but everything as a whole is just disgusting.

don't care if i get banned for this, if riots happen because of this, i hope they go after the GOP and trump for this!
The Democrats passed a bill in the House months ago while McConnell and the Republicans twiddled their thumbs. Then, when they finally came up with a plan a week before the unemployment benefits ran out, much of their own caucus didn't even like it. And now the Senate is taking yet another break while people are out in the cold.
Biden and the other Democrats need to rake the Republicans over hot coals for their intransigence, every day. They should also go after the press for acting like the Republicans were negotiating in good faith and both sides are equally responsible.

They had three months. THREE! The Senate didn't even start to do anything until, what, a week or so ago?
It almost seems like they are begging violence.

I don't think that check is the issue. It's all about the UI. The UI running out is what is going to be the major disaster.
Mitch McConnell is the most powerful man in the US. Only he could bring the Senate back to session or bring such a bill up to a vote, and his seat is so safe he should be filling vacancies in the MLB in his off time. He could not give less than a fuck to help anyone who is not himself, and that includes the rest of the GOP, so don't expect him to budge. The more people suffer, the happier he'll be.
Moscow Mitch and his ilk continue to weaken this country and get away with it. This is no longer just unamerican, it is actively Anti-American.
