https://foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-says-dem-coronavirus-package-could-be-released-this-weekIn 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'tOn 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

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.
Others are mad at Trump for not joining in
Hysteria
Now, what "point" did I miss?
The media is feeding the frenzy, methinks they are taking a chance in laying the ground work to over throw the king
It is a fact that Trump acted first and right while the democrats were calling him a racist
Trump is not going to let them set the narrative so he does lose in November
The smartest thing Trump does is not take advice from those who want him to lose and those who are losers themselves. If Trump listened to Never Trumpers like you we would never have had Trump

Someday someone will explain to me what he thought he was accomplishing by saying stuff like this. My fallback explanation is always “He’s trying to talk the market up,” but he’s been trying that for the past two weeks with zero success. At some point even he has to understand that unrealistic optimism panics investors more than if he didn’t say anything at all.
Maybe this is his way of trying to reassure people. His aides are probably telling him to stay realistically optimistic in his public remarks — the tests are coming, we’re working on a fiscal stimulus, and so on — but in his mind that translates into a simple reliance on “the numbers” which everyone except him understands by now are faulty. There are 546 confirmed cases here because we’ve only tested a few thousand people. There’s every reason to believe that coronavirus is deadlier than the flu is, and much deadlier to older people. There’s no vaccine, and warmer summer weather doesn’t guarantee that cases of a novel virus will tail off. The flu numbers in the tweet below are the tally at the end of flu season whereas we’re still in the beginning stages of “corona season.” Confirmed cases are about to go way, way, way up as mass testing finally comes online. Almost everyone understands this.
I prefer the tone of Trump to the bed wetters
And still nothing except
