stimulus package.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is preparing a welter of amendments to a budget resolution - essential to passing President Joe Biden's COVID-19 stimulus package - for a grueling "vote-a-rama" on Thursday.

Democrats have signaled that they will press ahead to pass the $1.9 trillion package without GOP support using budget reconciliation, a process that prevents filibustering and would allow the bill to pass with a simple majority of 51 votes.

However, the price for using this measure is receiving a barrage of amendments from the GOP to the budget resolution needed to pass the stimulus package. That's likely to keep the Senate debating for hours.

Republicans had filed at least 400 amendments by Wednesday night, Roll Call reported.

And none of them will vote for it. Just like the ACA.

1. Biden should ignore these qpublicans

And pass it already via reconciliation. Rethugs will strip it away if Biden keeps playing with these snakes.

Fuck the rethugs and pass the covid relief already.

2. Seeing as how it's obvious none will vote for it, even centrists dems should see through the BS.

3. I'm still waiting for the isurrectionist reTHUGS to be removed from the House and Senate.

But I'm not holding my breath...

4. Unfortunately, this is standard operating procedure...

and not just for Repubs. The minority party generally does this when reconciliation comes up. It's in the rules. The only thing they can do is grind through it. I can't imagine any Repub Senator coming up with any amendment that will pass.
