What did this "bipartisan" Senate bill say? It clearly was not the House bill that was passed last weekend and was summarized yesterday on this board. Was it all corporate bailout without condition and nothing for workers?
This is the problem with these things. When they blow up because both sides are children, unworthy of the power they hold, we just get the same partisan blame game.PartyBear said:

Our government is completely dysfunctional. If we can't get together in the middle of a national emergency and come up with a bi-partisan solution free of poison pills, we are absolutely doomed as a nation.
Vote all of these clowns out. Both the left and right have utterly failed us a nation. We need to stop playing the same tribal games and defending this bull***** On both sides of the aisle, these folks are playing political games with our lives at stake. To hell with all of them.

It appears what really happened is that this so called bipartisan Senate bill did not pass in McConnell's own Senate.

Maybe Jack can post a tweet from somebody to explain how Nancy Pelosi, who is in the House, controls what happens in the Senate.

The vote was 47-47. How many Republicans are in the Senate? Not that it mattered if it took 60 votes. But it only had 47 GOP votes or less if was not a party line vote.

Rand Paul is just one vote in the Senate. Looks like McConnell couldn't even get all the Republicans to back him. Whether 47-47 is party line vote or not.

Romney and a couple others are in quarantine. Nancy threw a grenade in the senate chambers. Americans suffer. Media will blame Trump.

Apparently the Senate has some potential bailout money for Trump personally.

Democrats shamelessly playing with folks lives. Or at least livelyhoods.
Shameful.
Do these stupid folks not realize when you are forced to shelter in place the $$$$ have to come from somewhere.
This is what you gets when folks that don't live in the real world have the vote.
