Thune: Republicans Continue to Fight for American People While Democrats Prolong Process
“The country is burning, and [Democrats] want to play political games.”
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today discussed his disappointment with the Democrats’ obstruction of the latest coronavirus relief legislation. Democrats have now voted twice to block this bipartisan legislation that would provide relief to Americans who are desperate for help. Thune emphasized that this action only further delays the process of getting families, hospitals, medical workers, those who are unemployed – people who need relief the most – the resources they need.
Wow……..wow.
Thune definition of compromise is do it my way.
Yep he thinks this should be about helping people get through and go forward. Not for the Dems to get pork they can’t get through in normal times. Dems will be crushed by th voters.
They had a bipartisan agreement in place before Pelosi flew in and blew it up.
Think one thing and type another. Correction Thune’s
Thune’s more of a “Speak softly and carry a big stick” kind of leader….. so when he speaks loudly we should all be listening.
Between Kavanaugh, hoax impeachment sham and now the politicalization of this bill I’m done with that party. They are about power and socialism. Give always and low productivity. I’m beyond angry with Pelosi. They had bi-partisan legislation. Then she came back to DC.
Now I read this morning, Pelosi is restoring the “Obamaphone” program as an item in the House bill. I suppose that will allow everyone to be able to call medical help if they feel sick and need advice!
The deficit is exploding even more. Last year after the tax cuts in the heart of one of the most insane bull markets in US history, the US deficit rang in at over 1 trillion. 2 trillion dollar bailout, unlimited QE from the fed. I wonder if national deficit this year tops 3 trillion dollars (at least).
Never in my life have I watched Senator Thune more frustrated in his usually impeccably delivered remarks.
Pelosi had to throw nutbag ideas into the counter-house proposal so she could keep her Squad on point and then bloviate all over the Drive-By-News how The House under her great leadership forced the Senate to take care of middle class Americans and not corporate CEO’s.
Her speech writers must already have forms ready with only a change of date and bill name ready in the printer.
Democrats did not just suddenly write up the legislation with all these progressive proposals. The bulk of it was sitting in a drawer somewhere ready to go when the opportunity presented itself.
As House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) said on a conference call with Democratic lawmakers last week: “This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
Said by a person who wants to take our guns.
Always fear the person who is unapologetic using duress to get their way.
Through the grapevine, I heard guns and ammo is mostly what is selling at Scheels.
