Of course this is not at all what actually happened but that is the way that all the garbage news outlets out there such as The Young Turks, Vox, Yahoo News, and a long list of other peddlers of extreme bias will try to highlight as they kind of glance over what is really happening here.
Of course this gives Democrats an opportunity to point the finger at Republicans and drone on and on about how awful they are and how little they care about anyone other than "big business" or "coroporate bailouts" or other catch-phrases that politicians love to use.
The fact of the matter is that this stimulus bill was never intended to pass. This is why the people who inked it didn't even allow any Republicans to be involved in its creation. They D's knew they would reject it but waste everyone's time because for them, it isn't even about the stimulus, it is all part of a larger political game to protect their own districts and to increase their own power.
No matter where you sit on the political spectrum I hope you are intelligent enough to see this. I hope you are outraged. I hope you will remember these shenanigans when it comes time to vote again. For me, I wish we could just get rid of everyone in Congress, R's and the D's. Start over.
The creators of this bill is so filled with things that are completely unrelated to anything that has anything to do with Covid-19 that when Democrats put those things in there, they were certainly completely aware of the fact that the Republicans would definitely reject it. One representative said the bill .."doesn't look like a stimulus package, it looks like a Democrat Christmas wish list"....and "it would make more sense to send it straight to Santa Claus because it has a much better chance of passing there than it does here."
This isn't necessarily dumb news in of itself as packing unrelated shite into a bill is just par for the course in Congress, that is expected. What is DUMB about this is that the usual media suspects are using this as an opportunity to try to paint those who reject this bill in a negative light.
The bill sucks. The creators of the bill knew that it sucks. They knew it would get rejected. It was made only for a opportunity to lie using the media once again. Thankfully, I think most people don't buy this garbage anymore and realize that their reporters, even if they are telling them what they want to hear, are lying to them with every breath they can muster.
The entire system stinks: The showboating is maddening on the part of the fake outraged politicians, to the pretend outraged reporters, to the partisan dummies that buy into this trash on social media.
