Mitch McConnell Blocks Attempt to Quickly Approve $2,000 Stimulus Checks


Mitch McConnell Blocks Attempt to Quickly Approve $2,000 Stimulus Checks:
  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blocked consideration of a House bill that would deliver $2,000 stimulus payments to desperate, unemployed Americans - extra funds that could help folks as they try to make ends meet during these hard times. 

Now, like Mitch McConnell, many Republicans say they oppose the idea of just “handing out free money” to people who really don’t need it - people who’ll probably just spend that extra cash on frivolous things like Nike Air Jordans, Sony Play Stations, colon hydrotherapy or tumescent liposuction.  


Now, I have to admit, they do make a good point.  Truth be known, why I was actually planning on using that stimulus money to put a down payment on a new Bugatti Veyron.  Had the color picked out and everything.  I was gonna go with a kind of a “battleship gray” color.  You know, to match Mitch McConnell’s face. 


But, anyway - what can you say?  Moscow Mitch and his Republicans - they’re always the last in line when it comes to helping their fellow Americans.  Of course, in all fairness, they’re always first in line - at least when it comes to things like getting COVID vaccinations ahead of everyone else - so I suppose it all evens out.


And, now Republicans say they’re “deeply concerned about depict spending.”  Well sure, at least now that a Democrat’s gonna be in the White house.  The funny thing is - some of these same Republicans made so damn much money on insider info trading during the pandemic - why, they could almost afford to give Americans the $2000.00 themselves.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...
