Cornyn: Ds settled for $908-billion after turning down $1.8-trillion Mnunchin deal

[stopbush]

Er, what deal? Negotiations aren’t deals until and unless they turn into actual deal points.

And what makes Cornyn think that Yertle would have allowed a floor vote on a$1.8-trillion package that was negotiated without any input from Senate Rs?

[Harker]

1. Cornyn is a moran.

His opinion carries less weight than a feather from a Pygmy Nuthatch.

2. My understanding was that the Mnuchin deal was about half for big corporations.

Madame speaker, to her credit, had enough of corporate bonuses after the first stimulus.

[gratuitous]

3. Timing is everything, isn't it?

The Mnuchin offer was months ago, and the Majority Leader was saying there was no way in hell he was going to consider the HEROES Act the House sent over in March, or anything coming out of the Mnuchin-Pelosi-Schumer negotiations. So yeah, the Mnuchin "deal" was turned down by the House because McConnell had already said publicly the Senate wouldn't take it up.

It was only after the November election that McConnell decided maybe it was time to consider moving ahead with a relief package. By that time the citizens had been screaming for help for more than six months. So Senator Cornyn, you're welcome to shove this mythical deal up your ass.

5. Geez, like the Repukes would have just passed it?

And the Repukes sat on the HEROES Act for months!

[Budi]

6. Because the $1.8 tr steak they dangled before a starving nation..

..included a tightening of Biden's Pres powers, & a big kiss to the wealthiest schmucks with their grift moved to a foreign safe zone.

10. What was the presidential tightening part? n/t

[lettucebe]

7. The earlier "deal" contained poison pills such as protection for companies who do not protect worker

There's a lot more to it than just saying they didn't take a deal with more $ involved.

8. Have not seen this man work for americans yet

He only works for himself and other R's in the senate and yet tons of people in Texas gave him 6 more years to screw people over, Nice

[ExciteBike66]

9. HAHA Cornyn forgot that McConnell poured water on that "deal"

Cornyn must be losing his mind.

[LizBeth]

11. Not true. And with Trump it was he was for it, against it, for it, against it for it and siding it.

While McConnell was saying won't happen.

So fuck them. I remember.
