To recap:
Trump out of nowhere wanted $2000 stimulus checks.
House passed it seperately 275-to-134 vote, so a lot of bipartisan there.
McConnell shut it down, not allowing a vote on it. Instead stating that later in the week it will essentially merge with the 'election commission and the liability protection repeal', giving Repubs a loophole to say they voted for the $2000 checks but the Dems will oppose it because of what it is merged with.
Is that correct, in a nutshell so to speak?
Mitch McConnell, what a great guy. Has no problem giving the wealthy massive tax cuts for trickle down economics bs, but give a fraction of those tax cuts back to the American people at the height of Covid, nah. I guess people should be fortunate with the $600, thats enough to eat their cake.
