'Rona Relief Bill 2

Not just the bill you want. How long?

I don’t even know what the ■■■■ you’re asking about. Legitimately.

How long did she sit on her old ass in San Francisco eating ice cream while the Senate was working?

I don’t know or care. What does that have to do with the subject of the thread that you’re the OP of?

It has to do with consistency in harping.

Are there other critical bills that need to be passed that the direct financial welfare of about a quarter of the population depends on and a hundred percent of the population relies on to fund efforts against the pandemic and towards opening the country up?

If you have a bill of that level of importance that the Senate passed months ago and the House refuses to vote on and reconcile, I will apply exactly the same level of disdain.

All bills are critical.

Not really, it’s pretty clear there is an attempt at trying to deflect from the fact that in a thread about the “Rona Relief Bill 2” that the House passed a bill 2.5 months ago and the McConnell Senate hasn’t done their work and time is/has run out.

Most bills in the US Congress, and this is absolutely true, are about renaming federal buildings and post offices. So, no. A hundred times no.

But in fairness, what bills have the Senate passed that the House is refusing to take up?

Not at all. If there’s going to be harping, it needs to be consistent.

If the UE isn’t fixed pronto, I’ll take point. As I did here.

I disagree, you asked a question - it was answered. The House passed a bill well in advancement of the current legislation expiring. The answer wasn’t liked so … deflect. Pretty obvious.

The Senate didn’t do their job.

They took vacations while the American people are hurting. Hope they enjoy the 4 day weekend.

I didn’t ask when the House passed the bill. I’m still waiting on my answer.

I offered to let you tell me what bills the House held up that the Senate passed, even though “all bills are critical” is clearly nonsense and you won’t take me up on it for some reason.

Hard not to believe it’s a diversionary tactic.

It will all be ok. The UE is going to get passed.

There’s a mental image I won’t soon forget. :sweat_smile:

Nancy doesn’t have largess when it comes to the taxpayer’s money. She isn’t a benevolent queen.

So many issues that arise in today’s political environment trace their way back to the United States Senate, either party.

The reason we have Confederate named bases and monuments and have had Confederate named ships is do to the longstanding tyranny of the minority. From the time following the end of Reconstruction until 1975, when the requirement for cloture was reduced from 67 to 60 votes, the Southern Senators generally had a working veto over Senate legislation. Thus they could force provisions requiring base and ship naming into legislation and many executive branch officials in that period were sympathetic to the south. Not to mention that the Senate blocked anti-lynching legislation.

EDIT: Just noticed and corrected a glaring error in the above post. I meant to put minority and put majority, which drastically changes the whole meaning of the post. Now fixed.

I am EXTREMELY happy that I unloaded a couple of rental houses last year that I owned up in Pennsylvania.

I frankly feel as sorry for many landlords as I do for the tenants.

Yes, it sucks being evicted.

But from the landlords point of view, property taxes and expenses don’t stop because a unit is vacated and when a non-paying eviction protected tenant occupies a unit, the landlord is basically ■■■■ out of luck.

I feel sorry for both sides in this situation.

It’s probably going to take the bad press from this to get the Republicans off their fat elderly asses and pass a bill.

They’re talking about a temporary extension but Pelosi will get to outright dictate terms to them to save them from their own incompetence.
