McConnell Wont Take Up Relief Package In Lame Duck
October 30, 2020 at 3:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Said McConnell: We probably need to do another package, certainly more modest than the $3 trillion Nancy Pelosi package. I think thatll be something well need to do right at the beginning of the year.

And his comments are also part of the message they're sending voters: "Re-elect Trump if you want ANY help from the government before next year."

(9,998 posts)He's saying it will be taken up in January, because that's when the Democrats will take over the Senate.
I am willing to bet anyone here money that his intention is to Filibuster anything the Democrats bring forward from the House.

(2,336 posts)Sounds about right. This is totally insane, and if true, I'd like to see some ads smothering the airwaves about the fact they'll do nothing but seat judges. People in this country are on their own.

Oh, and probably asking Thomas to retire, so he can push through another unqualified SCOTUS pick before the end of the year.
