When the going gets tough the tough go on recess
In a press conference with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Monday evening, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters that the House version of a new coronavirus bill could be released this week, although it is unlikely it will be able to pass until after the upcoming congressional recess.
"Well, we are putting it together," Pelosi told reporters, according to a transcript released by her office. "It’s not like we just woke up and started thinking about this... I don’t know that we can be ready this week, but we can introduce this week, we can introduce it and we may be ready this week, depending on CBO, depending on Leg. Counsel and how quickly they can get something back to us."
Pelosi went on to say that she would consider shortening the House's recess scheduled for next week if needed to pass the bill, but that she did not expect to have to do so and is tentatively planning for passage after the recess.
You don't have to give up your recess if you just blame Trump for everything. Note that these ass clowns have yet to come up with anything other than TDS over the last 7 weeks while Trump has been acting and getting called a racist for his trouble.
"Well, yes, if there's a necessity — if we think we're going to get some action in the Senate to do it," Pelosi said of the possibility of shortening the recess. "But we want to do it right and we want to have clarity for families." (huh?)
Meanwhile, the president Monday night said that he would pitch a variety of economic measures aimed at helping the U.S. economy during the coronavirus threat — including a payroll tax cut, aid to small business and paid sick leave for hourly workers.
“This is not our country’s fault, this was something that was thrown at us,” Trump said. “The main thing is we’re taking care of the American public.”
But Schumer, at the press conference with Pelosi, criticized Trump for being too focused on the economy amid a health crisis that has led several states to declare states of emergency.
"I mean what was missing from the president’s talk is how he is actually going to deal with the spread of the coronavirus. That’s the bottom line," Schumer said. "Well, what’s he going to do? So far we’ve seen statements belittling the problem, contradictory statements, statements that don’t address the problem."
Schumer continued that line of attack against Trump in a statement released Monday evening: "It seems President Trump is more focused on the stock market than addressing this pandemic," he said.
And Congress is focused on what again? Thank Allah someone gives a shit about the market and the economy. We know the democrats don't
On the payroll tax cut, one of the top solutions Trump is pushing to boost the economy amid its coronavirus woes, neither Schumer nor Pelosi would commit to entertaining the idea.
"We told you what we would support," Schumer said. "That's what we're focused on."
Of course they don't entertain the idea. It could work. If this was really serious Congress would be worried about their jobs too. Instead its bash Trump and the morons all say amen

Nothing screams national crisis like "We outta here for vacation".
Fucking pieces of shit. Fuck Schumer with the rustiest of all coronavirus-infested of cheese graters. Fuck him and his audacity for trying to be the moralist on Trump and the economy in dealing with the irrational panic.
Schumer should be shaming Nancy for sending them Congress home on recess and failing to push the legislation through. What a group of lying fuckwads.
These fucks think people can't see through their hypocrisy? Fuck them.
#solemn.....riiiiiiight.
Fuck them again just for good measure.
Cue H coming in with his dazzling TDS apologist bullshit.

I don't think a payroll tax cut is a bad idea per say. It's never wrong to give American consumers more spending power to buy shit during times of economic hardship. My concern, is how to tackle the social distancing issue. Travel and hospitality are getting devastated right now. The "abundance of caution" could end up wrecking far more people's lives than the virus itself. Imagine being @PurpleBaze trying to make a living driving Uber this summer in Seattle.

Rats want to push a stimulus that consists of more welfare. They are opposing a payroll tax cut because it doesn't help enough of their voters.

There's no mutual exclusivity here. One can think it's an irrational panic and argue that Donnie's tweeting is a bad look and counter productive. I guess you want him to loose in Nov. Sad.RaceBannon said:
