Never let a crisis go to waste.

“As Leader Schumer continues to hold up the desperately-needed relief package, the last-minute list of demands from Pelosi’s and Schumer’s ideological wish list are coming into focus,” the aide said.

These include new collective bargaining powers for unions, higher fuel emissions standards for airlines, and expanded wind and solar tax credits.

This 

Many Democrats had complained that the draft aid package did not go far enough to provide health care and unemployment aid for Americans, and failed to put restraints on a proposed $500 billion "slush fund" for corporations, saying the ban on corporate stock buy-backs are weak and the limits on executive pay would last only two years.

Yet no details on what actually they are complaining about.  Strictly generalizations.  "did not go far enough"  LOL   And you fall for it.  Polly want a cracker?

1000% agree on not bailing out the cruise lines that have done this.   I had no idea until recently they did what they were doing.   Not an American company don't expect American help. 

Topic for a different thread.

This was negotiated in good faith and was set to pass yesterday.  Then the Dems blew it up.  BUT there's a reason.  Insider trading.

Dems blew it up at the 11th hour to give themselves all time to buy into dip and/or reposition portfolios.  This might be the biggest insider trading event in history.

We could see citizens dragging them out by their hair and executing them on the capital lawn or steps at some point with the way this is going.  Capital Police and the military might just stand by and watch.

I actually thought our gov did pretty well,  until today. Facts , staying on point.  Disappointed to hear her shift the blame. I guarantee if a  fellow Dem was in the office she wouldn’t be calling incompetence and suggesting the people of Michigan would suffer for it.

I was thinking this very same thing this morning.  Not a safe time to be a politician.

Long, long ways from that but this is sure the type of scenario that leads to it.

Trump is going to take care of his Mar A Lago club members.
