Yes, Biden did get crushed, and yes, the evidence is overwhelming.

You just gave perhaps your most accurate post, EVER. Even if it was by mere accident.
Okay um, there is absolutely nothing, nowhere that could lead anyone to think that Biden got crushed.

In some good news, first checks are set to be released tonight and both Loeffler and Perdue are backing the jump up to $2,000 along with about 45 Republicans in the House.

The problem with wasteful spending is that the funds for questionable uses, such as towards donors and special interests, are buried deep in thousand page bills that don't get read by half of the lawmakers who pass such bills. When a lawmaker does read the bill that, let's say was intended to be an education funded bill, and sees that 15% of the bill goes towards education and the rest goes towards counting butterflies in the Sahara. Or studying the effects treated wood has on rolly pollies. Random **** like that that never has any verification of where the money is spent. And they don't like it, so they vote against it. Then 2 years later their political opponents run ads saying, this or that person doesn't care about your children's education. They voted against a bill that would have funded schools and teachers making your child's future a low priority. I will vote to fund your children's education system.

Like here, only 6 senators had the courage to vote against this bill full of pork hidden and disguised as a separate but the same spending bill. And they will be ridiculed for not wanting to get money to people in need.

Fact is, if the government red or blue actually cared about we the people and our health, they could have easily paid our salaries for as long as it took to shut down the virus and not spend a dollar more than they did the previous year after cutting the unnecessary spending. But they don't care about our health or we the people in general. It's time we all wake up to that fact. These are the people who we give our money that we earn to year after year with nothing to show for it.

We're in agreement here. You mean like slipping in $1.3 billion for the Egyptian military, $500 million for Israel, and $75 million in humanitarian aid to Palestinians? But hey, here's $600! Merica! 5,593-page spending bill that will give billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex, and hell there's a provision in there for the reincarnation of the Dalai ******* Lama. It's ridiculous. But, I get ridiculed for voting 3rd party, haha

The ONLY person in DC to call out either side is the guy some of you hate. You hate him because the media has told so many lies, and told you to hate him. Has Trump said **** that wasn’t true? Yes. But, look at what he’s doing. That’s where some of you are failing. He’s the one who stood up there and called the original “relief bill” a disgrace, and demanded it go back and be redone. He isn’t calling out one party either. That’s leadership.

He’s not asking for the money to only go to his supporters. He’s put the politicians heads on the chopping block to get help for everyone.

McConnell on.$2,000 checks: “The Senate is not going to be bullied into rushing out more borrowed money into the hands of Democrats' rich friends who don't need the help,”
That's rich, Mitch.

Decide for yourself. On the surface, it looks bad on McConnell. Think he’s saying the Dems want the section 230 removed, and he’s saying no.
Trump and Democrats brought the standalone $2,000 to the Senate. Nothing else, McConnell went and attached the 230 repeal to it knowing that Democrats would not vote for it. He's ******* people over. Senate Republicans need to call McConnell on his ********.

Understand your anger. But, and I might be wrong, I thought Trump got the House to pass it the other day. They (House democrats) got somewhat tricked into passing it. They didn’t like the repealing of section 230, but didn’t want to be seen as cheating Americans. Now this debacle in the Senate.

Nope, this is on McConnell. Trump and the Democrats are actually trying to do something decent for the people and he's just killing it.

Senate procedure on a vote gets reset by any senator that objects to the vote. Sanders did that and that is why the timeframe reset 5 days for the next vote....so he either needs to lift his objection to allow an immediate vote or they wait..and in the meantime the people wait. Context matters.
