You can watch this homemade video I made of Cenk Uygur explaining the importance of Ed Markey’s stance with Bernie’s strategy in attempt to pressure the GOP to pass $2K checks.
If all Dem Senators support $2,000 relief checks, theyâd need 12 GOP Senators to join them. @SenSanders will block the Defense Bill until McConnell brings the $2,000 up for a vote. Now McConnell want to add things to it that Dems wonât like. @SenSanders joins me 9pET @maddow

This serves as an open thread.
wow! ty
sry if dupe
Fabulous actor. Loved his performances in Remains of the Day and Shadowlands in particular.
Of course thereâs this iconic role. Very scary and very good
Benny I changed the title to the thread from 12/19 to 12/29. I was sure you would be ok with it
Merci!
I try to see everything that heâs in and heâs in a lot
A terrific actor, and as a Brit, also trained in stage and theater.
Recently watched The Father, Hopkins’ best work in ages, one of the best movies of 2020. Wouldnt be surpised if he gets an Oscar nomination if not outright win.

What an incompetent, bad joke!đ©đ€ź
Of course he is.
Being a Trumpster means never having to do any actual work.
Taiwan Mitchie is back to his usual FRightwing, crooked self and tricks.
Kewl…
He’ll be nice to R’s who are obstructing his transition team, but gets pissy when Bernie and Markey corner McConnell?
Iâm glad that heâs supporting it. It means that Bernie is playing a good hand.
Very begrudgingly, as Durbin is.
Why increasing the stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000 is a bad idea (by the WaPo PTB)
Contrast that to Bernie-hater Jen Rubin’s Op-ed:
Here is why the stimulus check should be bigger
The comments to that editorial are not pretty. Hereâs one
Mine would be very short
FU WP (and Bezos too)
same here
Because all the poor folks I know rush to spend their money on air travel and fancy restaurants…
Im also tired of all the talk about people who are working are somehow undeserving. Yes Im still working, but as my ‘position was eliminated due to Covid’ and as I didnt want to be a strain on an already strained unemployment system accepted a different position for 3 dollars less an hour. JD has been working from home since March, which means all the utilities are higher, etc. To save costs we dropped the insurance on one car and have it parked, and as parking at my new job site is not reimbursed and is 20 dollars a day she drops me off in the mornings and picks me up in the afternoons. Last week on the way to get me she was rearended and is now suffering from whiplash and back issues. All a chain of events caused by Covid But apparently we’re unaffected…
And thats just our stories. I know each of you have your own, etc.
LD, you and JD have had your share. I’m very sorry to hear about her accident. Whiplash is a b*t*h. If you ever need a GFM, let us know. We will help you and JD.
absolutely!!! LD has earned some cred on other sites over the years and i would suspect that some of those regulars whom donate to a GFM if the need arises All my best for a speedy recovery.
Hear, hear from me, also. Please get better, JD!
Meanwhile SOB Borg WAPO owner Bezos makes a few more billion in his quest to be King of Earth. đ©đ©đ©đ©đ©
Even though I have disagreements with him, Senator Brown is a lot better and a lot more authentic than many senators from states that are much more blue
This is great news! Filibusters are easier to sustain with as much help as possible.
Waiting now for Josh Hawley to stand up with us and say a few words.
Feds decline charges against officers in Tamir Rice case
Bastards!
Recalling the Castile killing still gives me the willies.đ
Another win for the blue shield đ
