Tensions rose this week between the White House and congressional Democrats amid stalled c****av***s aid talks. President Trump slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Twitter.

On Friday, he said they want “trillions of dollars of bailout money for blue states that are doing badly, both economically and in terms of high crime.”

According to the President, Democrats have been using these terms as a condition for negotiating a new stimulus deal.
In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has expressed doubt that Congress will be able to compromise on another round of C***D stimulus. On Friday, McConnell said lawmakers have been in a “challenging period” and reiterated negotiations don’t look good at the moment.

This came after Senate Democrats blocked a GOP stimulus bill earlier this week. The unsuccessful v**e led many Republican lawmakers to raise skepticism about the chances of an agreement before November.

Democrats want a sweeping bill and have argued the GOP isn’t going far enough. Sen. McConnell has attributed the ongoing gridlock to the upcoming e******n.

The Democrats do not want to fund the hurting American people. They want to fund a far left agenda. I'd rather see no bill than their version.

I'm sick and tired of these peckerwood demonrats in the House demanding that the US taxpayers bail out the scumbag politicians in the blue states who have given away their ass, the farm and all the fixtures being STUPID, and now come crying for more of our hard earned tax dollars. My reply to them is "screw you and the jackass you rode in on". You made your financial mess trying to give everyone everything, and your people v**ed your dumass in because they want the perks you promised, but are too lazy, or stupid to get out, get a job and provide those things for yourself!! You broke it, You fix it!

Right on.
The socialist's pockets are empty, now they are out pan handling in the Red states.

And why should they, they don't have any "skin in the game" and it doesn't help that the buffoons running California see no need to limit who comes across their/our southern border. Sorry, not my problem and no politician needs to try to make it my problem!

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

Amen. They want their state to fall apart and the residents don't care, fine with me. Just don't look for my tax dollars to bail you out.

SGM B Loc: TEXAS but live in Alabama now

Totally agree!!! Just wait, it won't be long until one of the resident OPP liberals show up and talk about how much money CA pumps into the US coffers via their taxes. I say if CA and the others are so flush with cash they can bail themselves out...oh wait, forgot about all the people who are there and pay no state or federal taxes. My bad...

Pelosi passed a real and effective p******c relief bill months ago. Moscow Mitch and Putin’s b***h won’t allow a v**e on it in the senate. It is all on them. I guess Americans will need to wait until January to begin rebuilding the destroyed Trump economy.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

It was a horrible waste of money. Pretty much how you are a waste of life.

On timeon target

Additionally, they aren't going to agree to anything that would give Trump recognition or positive credit for. How much recognition is he being given for the new peace accords or being nominated for the Nobel Peace prize! If it was anyone else it would be front page news and all over network news. The degree of bias in the media today is like nothing ever seen before!

Yes. For instance, why should Illinois be given relief to fund their unsustainable, billions of dollar shortfall, public pension fund? It's been in trouble since the 80s, why fund failure, to perpetuate it?
