The Senate was all set to pass a massive coronavirus relief package today but the democrats blocked it because it didn’t contain enough stupid leftist crap that has nothing to do with the pandemic. Seriously, these liberal assholes are stopping millions of Americans and small business from getting help because they want to include garbage like union collective bargaining and solar power tax credits. Democrats have long been the biggest enemy of the American people and hopefully more of us realize it with this shameless politicization of a national emergency.
This was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over the weekend:
How crazy is it that less than 24 hours ago Schumer was talking about how *delighted* he was with the “bipartisan cooperation” on Coronavirus aid negotiations.
Then Pelosi got back into town, Schumer immediately flipped, and Democrats unanimously voted to block a critical bill. pic.twitter.com/gESFOstpm1

Schumer was delighted and surprised at the bipartisan cooperation on the coronavirus relief package, and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped in and killed it, proving that Cryin’ Chuck isn’t a Senate leader at all, just a bitch.
Fox News reports:
Republicans are accusing Democrats of using the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to push unrelated political agendas, as the two sides failed to reach an agreement Sunday night to advance legislation that would provide relief to American businesses and families struggling as a result of the outbreak.
On the Senate floor shortly after noon on Monday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lit into Democrats, specifically alleging they were trying to extract concessions from airlines over their “carbon footprint,” with the economy hanging in the balance.
“They ought to be embarrassed. This is no time for this nonsense,” said McConnell.
Has McConnell ever met a democrat? They can’t be embarrassed because they have no shame.
And here’s the reason why democrats went from supporting the American people to telling everyone to go f*ck themselves:
Democrats overnight blocked the massive economic rescue package, teeing up new negotiations Monday morning. But issues having nothing to do with coronavirus have become impediments to the relief package, according to a senior Republican aide.
These include new collective bargaining powers for unions, higher fuel emissions standards for airlines, and expanded wind and solar tax credits.
“As Leader Schumer continues to hold up the desperately-needed relief package, the last-minute list of demands from Pelosi’s and Schumer’s ideological wish list are coming into focus. Not only are these completely unrelated to the coronavirus epidemic, they could prevent companies from participating in the loan programs altogether—directly causing unnecessary layoffs,” the aide said.
So the democrats want to hold up relief to the people who have lost their jobs by tacking on job-killing riders? That’s the most democratic thing I’ve ever heard.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., confirmed this…
“This report is correct. Pelosi & Schumer are willing to risk your life, your job, your retirement savings for a radical, left-wing wish list that has nothing to do with this virus. Disgraceful,” Cotton said.
This is not by accident. Last week Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told his caucus that the coronavirus relief package could be exploited to slam through all kinds of leftist nonsense like welfare expansion, election fixing, and a variety of pork projects.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision,” said Clyburn.
Never let a crisis go to waste, right dems?
Not only is this a bad look for democrats, it’s downright evil. McConnell wanted to get this relief package passed by Monday morning before the markets opened to help stabilize the volatility. What the democrats are actually trying to do here is tank the entire U.S. economy in hopes that people will vote Joe Biden into the White House in November.
Hopefully people will see the democrats who they are and vote accordingly. These are people who would destroy America simply to gain power.
