(4,845 posts)Some male guest said democrats are likely to be blamed for the lack of stimulus. I wanted to shout loudly that we passed a bill back in May. Republicans have the senate. If they are so great, pass the bill/bills in senate and send to the house. McConnell and Trump can't even hold their own, it's all on them.

(32,017 posts)Cruz and Paul are publicly opposed to any new Federal spending. No doubt, many other Republican Senators agree with them. McConnell has lost control of his caucus. He cant pass anything without Democratic support, and that would mean conceding to Democratic demands (Heaven forbid!).
Hes stuck. All he has is ... MORE JUDGES!

(77 posts)Kentucky is the second most dependent state on federal money. Kentucky gets more money back from the Federal Government than what they put in. It is the blue states that support Kentucky. They are feeling this crisis and McConnell does not care. They always vote against their own best interest and keep McConnell in office. It is beyond me.
