McConnell actually said that the $2000 would go to Democrats rich friends

But I don’t blame him for the outright lie that he can say with no impunity....I blame the ignorant racist voters who continue to vote for people of his ilk despite voting against their own economic interest....he knows he can get away with this shut because of his voters

I'm a bit surprised, though, that McConnell thinks Democrats' rich friends can be bought for a mere $2,000; no self-respecting corrupter of the system is going to bribe anyone for a miserly $2,000. Oh, and why is Mitch's pal Donald stumping for the $2,000 too?

The fucker has gotten rich in Congress and is now worth over 34 million dollars and has the nerve to say Dems are advocating for our rich friends.

What a stingy, corrupt bastard.

was a waste of his time, and he certainly didn't intend to spend his years at the peak of power wasting his time in public feeding gaping mouths ridiculous lies. But then he didn't know that achieving his dream was going to take him far past his psychopathic level of incompetence.

A "Peter Principle" fan I see.

Wonder when McTurtle will reach his well deserved denouement?

You might like this article on the reverse Peter Principle. It's funny and makes just as much sense.

And that negates the millions of people who would use the 2k to pay for back rent and overdue bills?

Does McConnell believe that everyone in the nation is stupid?

For "rich friends", 2k means nothing. For the commoner, 2k may keep them from being evicted and living on the street.

McConnell gets the "let them eat cake" award for December, 2020. (The normal fictional "title" would be for the entire year. But the GOP has so many Marie Antoinette gaffs so often, that more fictional awards are needed.)

$2000 is going to mean little to any rich person. It may mean life or death to a poor person. But Mitch "Fuck the plebs" McConnell doesn't give a shit about that. He wants money flowing into the coffers of people who are already so rich that they could never spend all the money they already have.
