In reply to House approves Trump’s $2K checks, sending to GOP-led Senate

Lindsey Graham bullshit as usual:

This man did not show up on the floor of the Senate one time this week to demand a vote on a $2k direct payment. Not a single damn time. Now, the Congress has ended and it looks like the first time a bill can be introduced is 20 days from now. Thanks for a whole lot of nothing. https://t.co/i5pWie5VoD

Anti-corruption provision?

Pardon the all-caps, but the Senate's veto override today means that the U.S. A) just eliminated the primary building block in America's transformation into an offshore haven, and B) passed the most sweeping counter-kleptocracy reforms in decades—potentially ever.

Perry Bacon Jr. of 538 with help from Lee Drutman: is this really going to help the Dems in GA?

The idea of $2000 payments is popular. So this issue may help the Dems in Georgia. But it may not move the needle much. We explained why here, using some polls from @DataProgress @businessinsider and @SurveyMonkey and great research from @leedrutman. https://t.co/vEORXCxGqZ

I ask again what is your problem with bringing that up as a single standalone bill?" BERNIE SANDERS pic.twitter.com/ATJOZIPG6h

while not perfect presidential material, Bernie was fefinitely made to filibuster! Meanwhile:

Susan Collins is mad at Bernie Sanders for holding up the defense bill rather than being mad at the President for vetoing the bill to protect the Confederate flag and statues. I'm really concerned about that.

I like the picture, but the tweeter seems oblivious to the point of the original quote - the peasants couldn't afford bread, much less cake. Oh well, irony's dying all the time.

Mitch McConnel is resting comfortably, taking a break from being sure his constituents don’t have enough money for food. His physician/man servant Cordell is seeing to his every need. Rest easy America. #RepublicansDontCare #MitchMcConnellHatesAmericans pic.twitter.com/WK74d6p5m4

It would be entirely unremarkable that a wealthy & well-funded + well-connected aristocrat from a state like Kentucky could stave off anything.

And then there's voting machines. No, not Dominion, nothing to do with Venezuela. Born in the USA.

My previous thread noted how many Kentucky Dems voted Republican. Folks said "This is just Kentucky voters"

But if Kentucky voters typically cross party lines it also provides cover to easily hide vote flipping. And HUGE numbers of Dems voted Republican.
