McConnell stonewalled the vote on a relief package before the election because so many Republican senators would have voted against it that it would have looked like a "Democrat bill."  It still would have passed, but the GOP would have looked like assholes.  Which they are.  And it may have cost them Senate seats and McConnell his position as the Senate Majority Leader.  Now, he says he won't let it go to a vote until we agree to pennies on the dollar and agree to indemnify even the most negligent employers against being sued for their employees getting Covid.  But that's not the real reason.  He knows memories are long and any relief that passes will make Senate Republicans look like the assholes they are when they vote against it.  He will never allow a vote for any kind of relief.

He can't make those Republican Senators more afraid of him than they are of Trump, but he can make sure relief never comes to a vote.  Real powerful guy, isn't he?

From the beginning, the Democrats have been trying to get us more relief and the Republicans have been pushing for less....or nothing at all.  Republicans are 100% of the problem and I am sick and tired of trying to find ways to say that in a diplomatic way. 

People are losing their homes.  They're starving.  They're dying.  But at least the deficit is stabilizing.
