Stimulus Check: Twitter Weighs in After Mitch McConnell Slams Pelosi for 'Holding up' Bill, Suggests Pot Is 'Proven COVID-19 Therapy'
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell drew some attention on social media Wednesday after he [...]
One of the major problems with our government is that bills contain things unrelated to the bill. You want something passed, it should pass on it's own merits, not by unrelated crap thrown in it to grab votes. Those F-85 contracts should be part of a military bill, not this.

prevnextYOU WON'T EVEN LET REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTE ON YOUR GARBAGE BILL!
Speaker Pelosi passed a comprehensive bill more than 75 days ago
You said it wasn't urgent, didn't work and even took a long weekend while Trump golfed
You need to STFU and do your job

Unbelievable that you're cutting the so much needed $600 unemployment benefits to $200. Can you live on $200 a month?
Is the $377MILLIONS to renovate WH West Wing a priority?

Or building a new FBI HQ for 1.75BILLION to benefit Trump's hotel a priority?
prevnextJesus, Mary and Joseph. You get serious. Marijuana is proven to help with anxiety and depression and pain. In fact there was nothing wrong with it until Nixon decided to weaponize it against peaceful protesters aka the hippies. What do you think the citizens are experiencing now?

Mitch had 80 days to negotiate with the Speaker and House then waits until the end of July to wake up and realize that others are suffering. Mitch McConnell is a poor excuse of a human being. Mitch had no federal judges to pass so it does not care about anyone except itself.

prevnext@SpeakerPelosi can give up the pot portion of their bill & you give up the below list of complete fat added to the @GOP bill. $ need to be directly related to covid. Unemployment, eviction & small bus money. Stop all the BS and get it done!! pic.twitter.com/esJCzx1dbK

She’s holding it up because Trump wants to add millions to do renovations inside the White House and hundreds of millions to build a new FBI headquarters. Can we get serious yet?

prevnextStop pretending Pelosi is the reason you did nothing for the past two months to have a bill ready to pass through both houses in July to avoid what just happened on July 31.

We'll get serious when you take out the provisions for new fighter jets and a new FBI building to prop up Trump's hotel
