I'm getting the feeling that for far too many people, this is the endgame.
That lil $300 extended unemployment benefit is going down on a state by state basis and only 6 states are actually paying it out as of today.
The closer we get to the election the less bandwidth there's gonna be stimulus related bills. Pigs probably gonna murder another black man on tape next week.
For most people, whatever their situation is right now they're likely stuck with it. Gotta feel for folks who been struggling just to stay on their feet.

Stimulus talks are still on, just slow news with everyone out on recess. I expect it will be back in the news next week. Mnuchin, Meadows and even McConnell all want it, Pelosi has been busy getting her hair did, no clue what Schumer is up to though. I really felt like the Republicans were going to use this to get a leg up in the election, and were going to push this as far as they could to the election once nothing happened in August. Unfortunately this is what's happening it seems. It's sad that playing with people's security is what its come down to, but this is the card we've been dealt. If nothing happens this month I'm not really sure anything will...

Again
-Pelosi had the house pass a stimulus bill months ago a big 3 Trillion dollar stimulus. That included another round of checks, and extending unemployment benefit at the full $600
-The GOP couldn't agree on supporting a 1 Trillion dollar bill. That was major hang-up. The Dems were unified and in the GOP there wasn't an agreement.
-Trump said he wanted something a lil over 1 Trillion and was having Mnuchin negotiate with the Dems
-Pelosi offered to met in the middle and work something out for 2.4 Trillion, then 2.2 Trillion
-Trump decided to walk away from the negotiations, saying either they take his deal or else. Then signs those weak sauce executive orders.
-Republicans in the Senate seemingly have finally unified about a bill which would be half the size of what McConnell proposed but didn't have the support of his own party to even get a symbolic floor vote.
www.cnn.com
But let us keep on acting like it is the Dems are the problem, not the Republicans that can't get their **** together and don't think most people are not deserving of help.
If people get another round of checks. I will be because Pelosi and Schumer push for it, and Trump agrees.
Republicans are probably gonna relying on voter suppression of black people, sabotaging voting by mail, using poll watchers to intimidate minority voters, letting Russia interfere in our election. Then bringing to spring a October surprise on Biden to hopes of sinking the Dems. That their electoral strategy, so **** legislating.

Senate GOP leaders look to lock down Republican support for new stimulus plan after weeks of party divisions
Senate Republicans want to set up a showdown vote this month over a $500 billion recovery package even as the two parties are nowhere near an agreement over how to continue Washington's massive intervention into the teetering economy with just two months until Election Day.

Spare me the both sides steez famb
People can whine and complain about the Dems, but acting like they are on the same level as the GOP, especially on this, is nonsense
Observable reality has shown this. The Dems already passed a bill in the House to send people more checks, to extend unemployment benefits, give aid to states to mass layoffs don't jump off, expanding SNAP benefits so people don't do hungry, and subsidizing Cobra so folk have health insurance and tons of other thing.
Trump proposed 1/3 of the package. The Senate GOP is about to propose 1/6 the package with most of the aid to the working man stripped out. The Dems proposed a compromise to get something done, Trump is the one that said no.
Dudes can ponder and hot take about what is in Pelosi's and Schumer hearts all they want, go ******* ahead, have fun. I care about the policy proposals, and theirs is way better than the GOP's, and helps regular folk.
But ummmm, sureeeeeee, "both sides"

Democrats’ $3 trillion opening bid for the next stimulus package, explained
Democrats are eyeing another ambitious stimulus bill with more direct payments and state funding. They still need to negotiate with Republicans.
www.vox.com
Again, the Dems in the House passed this in May. ******* May.
McConnell didn't even have the votes to make a symbolic floor vote for his.

youre talking in circles. Pelosi and Schumer are useless and do not care about you or I. Arguing otherwise is nonsensical
yes they passed a bill a long time ago. NO they havent been close to sufficient since. They wanna play politics and not let 45 look any kinda good. keeping us broke for the greater good. Bless em

Whatever man. You're just talking some hot take both sides nonsense
You dudes will ignore observable reality to keep repeating this "they don't care about you" ****. No one is trying to convincing anyone about what is in their hearts.
They passed a bill, the said they would compromise with Trump, Trump is the one that said no to the compromise. And then he pulled a half assed publicity stunt with the memos. But the Dems are ones playing politics just to make him look bad. Ok, sure.
Famb, you are basically repeating MAGA talking points
Guess which side is in favor of doing this, guess.
I don't know how it will be the end of all of them, when only the Trump Administration was in charge in disrupting the funds.
But oh yeah, "both sides"

They def need to compensate the essential workers and then some. I can’t imagine the saltiness knowing that you had to go to work while others sat home and got well compensated.
this McConnel dude is messing up the bag.
