Richard Burr however, does not have a blind trust, and personally pulled the trigger on his stock sales. His statement saying he relied on media reports to make his decisions is not good enough.

Feinstein put out a tweet saying all of her assets have been in a blind trust for 24 years, and she wasn't even at the closed door briefing.

Loeffler has also said her assets are in a blind trust. o

I wouldn’t take anyone’s word for it. Investigate anyway, just wait for the judgment before politicizing.

Meanwhile, school districts in Seattle and Philly are denying all children access to online learning because some students don’t have computers and internet.

There are two major ways to bring about equality. Lifting the weak and cutting down the strong. Apparently the former is just too much work for Seattle and Philly.

It's a good time to start a cleansing of politicians that are only in for themselves.

Out here in rural N central WA the tribes are going to give native kids laptops, some services will give schoolkids free connections, and things should proceed scholastically from there.

As expected the Senate did not meet McConnell's artificial deadline for striking a deal tonight. They say they will continue to work tomorrow on it, the biggest sticking point seems to be the Dems want unemployment benefits expanded in addition to the checks so people out of work are guaranteed a source of income during this crisis.

Ya know, I realize that it's scary as *** to even think about but god damn if right now isn't the perfect time for a nationwide walk out.

Show just how essential they are. Even when the all clear comes back up, *** em, don't look so desperate to rush right back into slavery, let em sweat a minute.

Well to the surprise of no one, Mitch McConnell couldn't deliver on his ambitious timeline.

Senate talks break down as Pelosi takes over

Quote:
Hopes for a quick bipartisan deal on a massive stimulus package quickly unraveled on Sunday as lawmakers remain deadlocked on several key provisions.

A meeting between the four congressional leaders and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin failed to break the stalemate as Democrats voiced concern that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is trying to jam them with a bill they have not signed off on.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said as he left the meeting that they did not have a deal.

“We continue to talk,” he said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said after the meeting that House Democrats would offer their own stimulus package that she hoped would be “compatible” with the Senate’s package.

“I don’t know about Monday but we’re still talking,” Pelosi told reporters, referring to the preferred GOP timeline for passing a bill.

...

Negotiators have been in around-the-clock negotiations on the stimulus package, which is expected to cost between $1.5 and $2 trillion.

Both McConnell and Schumer appeared optimistic as they left the Capitol on Saturday evening that there would be a bipartisan deal.

But that feeling quickly soured as Republicans moved forward with drafting the legislation without Democratic support. GOP senators and White House aides say the bill is written to include bipartisan agreement where negotiators were able to reach it. In instances where they weren’t, Republicans say they wrote the provisions in a way that they hoped could win bipartisan support.

Democrats accused Republicans of walking away from talks and putting provisions in the bill that they know Democrats could not support.

A source familiar with the GOP bill text said Republicans are “refusing to add strong worker protections” and have included language requiring companies keep employees “to the extent possible.”

Democrats worry the language is vague enough that corporations could take federal help and still fire workers. Democrats also wanted strong restrictions on corporations who take federal help, but the source said the GOP bill included “very weak” stock buyback restrictions that could be waived by Mnuchin.

The talks seemed doomed when the Republicans started writing the bill before they even had a deal. This is going to be the largest stimulus package in history, and McConnell was trying to ram it through as fast as possible, not even sure if his own party was on board. Refusing to include Pelosi directly from the get go was also stupid.

Now the House takes over. Pelosi and Mnuchin will hammer out a bill with or without the Senate. McConnell can stage his vote later today, who knows, maybe they will strike a deal in the next hour, but I doubt it. After it fails he can hope Pelosi will include him in the talks.

Well they should be talking to each other. If you think it's dumb for McConnell to not include Pelosi, then it's dumb for Pelosi to not include McConnell. He can wreck her bill single-handedly.

It's very easy. They need to stop trying to hide ways to *** po' folks and just pass what needs to be passed.

There's other bils they can stuff their ego into, now isn't the time.

I said this last week, and this was before the pathetic "You're a terrible reporter" moment, get him off the podium. All he is doing is peddling false hope on a miracle cure in an effort to pump up the stock market.

That's sick, Chanti. Nobody "deserves" this, political foe or not. Bad politicians deserve to be shamed out of office, not potentially murdered by deadly viruses. Even those worthy of capital offenses have the right to not suffer cruel and unusual punishments.
