GOP senator warns $2K checks can't pass, urges Trump to sign COVID deal
By Jordain Carney - 12/24/20 11:41 AM EST

Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.), a member of GOP leadership, warned Thursday that President Trump's demand for $2,000 stimulus checks can't pass the Senate and urged him to sign a massive year-end agreement.

Blunt, acknowledging that he has "no idea" what Trump will ultimately do, said that it would be a "mistake" to try to renegotiate the bill, which ties $1.4 trillion to fund the government to $900 billion in long-sought coronavirus relief.

"It took us a long time to get to where we are. I think reopening that bill would be a mistake," Blunt said. "The best way out of this is for the president to sign the bill, and I still hope that's what he decides."

Asked if he knows what the president is going to do, Blunt added: "I have no idea what he plans to do."

To go from everybody kissing your ass to being humored, lectured...dismissed.

Roy explaining to Trump the way things are gonna be from here on in.
"I’d like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem...

To demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol: you have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction: you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law: you will pay." - President Donald J. Trump, January 7th, 2021

Not if it was just Blunt—he’s less than nothing. But it’s like they all had a cup of courage and are feeling themselves. I’m hoping Trump blows up Loeffler/Perdue to teach Mitch and his crew a lesson.

I’m never gonna think Trump has led a life that demonstrates the fitness to be president but at least he’s authentic. I like him more than the Blunt/Thune/McConnells etc.

Donal J. Trump has turned out to be the biggest breath of fresh air to penetrate that fetid swamp in Washington D. C. in many years and that is why the long knives are determined to get him!

Why now at the end? Trump should have vetoed every bloated bill that was sent to him and force the House and Senate to own the burden they are putting on future generations. Trump is finally......so far, doing what he should have in forcing t5he bloat and taxpayer dollars being gifted to other countries, especially when so little of that debt burden is going to everyday Americans. How can the democrats rationalize to Americans that border walls are not only good for other countries (while bad for America) but that Americans should work and sweat to pay for the border walls in the other countries.

The best thing for America would be for mutated exceptionally fast flesh eating bacteria to have lunch in the House and Senate.  Sorry I have no Christmas good will for those that so badly represent the people they were actually elected to serve.

They KNOW that he would be completely off the chain in a second term and none of them would be safe! @GtHawk

How about selling Covid Bonds to fund the Stimulus?

Like WW II  bonds ?
