Pelosi Retains Democratic House Leadership

What day did Trump say/tweet he wanted the 2000 stimulus? What day did Nancy tweet that?

I guess I'm being trolled. No way you guys are so pathetic as to seriously play the misogyny card on this, just because you have no argument.

Oh, and still waiting to hear how Nancy got those 44 Republicans on board. Since you know, that's the whole discussion.

No matter what she does you can always count on men to undermine her accomplishments. Half the reason why I posted that earlier tweet was because it was refreshing to see a guy say something positive about her work.

The tweet where he simultaneously took a shot at the abilities of 4 other women? That tweet, steve?

a) you're not a misogynist.

b) I'm not on Twitter so I have no idea.

I'm simply complimenting Nancy for leading the House to pass a more meaningful relief package.

December 23rd: Trump says he is calling on Congress to give a $2,000 stimulus instead of $600.

December 27th: Pelosi tweets that Trump should call on Republicans in Congress to do the $2,000.

December 29th: Steve praises Nancy for pushing Trump to do this. Fucking steve.

She's a great American.

I'm really stunned that people are falling for this stunt (people in general, not just board members). You gotta hand it to Republicans. They know how to make the old Dem guard look foolish. I'll eat any hat Wags wants to send me if there's a vote, let alone one that passes, that sends out $2000 stimulus checks. The ONLY thing this swallowed hook did was get Purdue and Loffler a week's worth of campaigning for $2000 Trimp checks that will never come. Even if a vote comes it will only be because Moscow Mitch knows he has to votes to beat it.

nobody was ever gonna get $2,000.

But thanks to Nancy, republicans are on record for not even wanting to vote on it. Probably won't make a difference in Georgia.. but it confirms what those of us who view it objectively have known all along.


Nancy is a great American.

On a side note does Kelly Loffler have giraffe DNA?

Glad Trump got on board. Better late than never.

See posts from hours ago addressing when you trying to change the argument at that point. No need to go through the obvious again.

I don't know about that. Perdon't and Loeffler haven't really come out looking good on this when they sat around for a week, too afraid to take a stand on it as they tried to figure out whether to kiss Trump's ass or McConnel's ass.

But I don't think there are many undecideds at this point in GA, where being in favor of something that their opponents were already in favor of, is going to make a difference either way.

Trump didn't come up with the $2000 by himself, his party didn't come up with it - he got the idea from somewhere?

If we're giving tangential credit, I heard a certain somebody float the idea of monthly four figure payments long before anyone yet mentioned in this thread...

YANG GANG

Next Mayor of New York City! You are not wrong his idea opened the discussion. No way it happens without him campaigning on the idea.

In fact all of the other countries in the world that have been making these payments all along were doing it because of Andrew. Indeed Steven indeed.

$600. This country sucks.

Other Teams Pursuing That wrote:$600. This country sucks.

Agree. Not enough for those hurting. But Toomey made a great point. Take me for instance. I haven't missed a day of work. Why should I get a $2000 check?

I guess it depends on what you do with it. If you spend it on restaurants, that’s a good thing but if you spend it on credit card debt that doesn’t really help anything.

I think the answer is that everyone should get $2000 in Applebee’s gift cards

Sounds like McConnell is going to go for $2k as long as Section 230 gets repealed.

Section 230 isn't going to get repealed. Dems will never vote for it.

Total pimp move would be to vote for the $ and repeal 230. Win the Senate and put 230 exemption back into law.

That would be sweet. Full disclosure. I've been paying for daycare since early December so the stimulus would offset that. Obviously lots, and I mean lots of people who it's just free money for. I guess spending it is the idea. Let's hope so.

Yeah, I don’t buy this counter argument that Trump got congress to switch their votes. He’s been hands off and uninvolved. I would be willing to bet he either got on board with the $2k while on the golf course or on the toilet while tweeting.

I’m actually all for it. I think just repealing 230 protections without a comprehensive plan would be messy as fuck, but fuck these platforms that allow hatred and propaganda to spew with no accountability. I think the republicans would actually balk if the Dems called the bluff. Big gamble but they would.

Best scenario at this point it costs the repubs the Georgia senate race and in a few weeks it gets passed.

Two questions.

Where's my $2000?

And how many Trump loyalist has Pelosi and her power play swayed away from dear leader?

I’m pretty comfortable with conservatives negotiating for things that their fever dreams have convinced them that they want instead of exclusively tax cuts for rich people, frankly. Next we can give them JFK Jr’s location in exchange for Medicare for all

They already know who JFK Jr is. Seriously. It's some weird dude that doesn't even look like him but I guess they are convinced that is him in disguise. You'll have to google it but I saw it on CNN when they were covering a DC protest that was full of Qanon nuts and hate groups.

I’d miss you guys but not that much.
