PANic + EpiDEMIC = PANDEMIC!

Wat.

Still no word from Moscow Mitch on when we can expect the Senate to vote. Dems seem ready. Its just the small group of GOP senators holding things up.

Here's your chance!

Hey now, I've called out DirectX on a few occasions, as recently as yesterday! I do not support this failed British invasion. But as an American, I will happily beat them down whenever able, which is often.

Fair enough, but don't rest on your laurels. You could give so much more.

I prefer to be lazy.

fone didn't get banned.

I'm not sure how you got "opposing opinions" from "hyper-aggressive trolls that insult people in a majority of their posts". I come here for the opposing opinions. If I wanted an all-conservative echo chamber I could easily find one elsewhere on the internet. Btw, Fone will be back in a week or two.

Uh, no. Even when I'm not talking to you you'll come in and make an insulting comment about me (or other people) and make a comment how you think I'd react to whatever topic. You're still a racist, though.

I could make stuff up about you too, but I like to actually cite things as evidence. Anyone who's been here a while knows you're full of crap. Vic doesn't agree with me on anything political and we've had our fair share of spats over the years, so if there is any truth to what you say about me frequently running my mouth in an aggressive way (save with you, because you deserve it) then surely he would agree with you?

Whaddya say, Vic?

Never happens.

I don't regularly call you names nor constantly talk about you when you're not here. I'm not willing to stoop to your level entirely, but I'm also not going to let you get away with your garbage either.

So, I just listened to Lindsey Graham tell us from the Senate floor why he is blocking this bipartisan deal, and he reminded me that despite our occasional agreement on foreign policy, the guy is a mo-ron.

In his hypothetical situation, people that go on unemployment for the next 4 months will be getting a bonus 600 dollars in their checks, (thats not a hypothetical, its in the deal) and that discourages employment (for the next 4 months).

Ok, counterpoint.

Despite Trump's bullshitting, we have no idea when this crisis is going to end and we are going to be allowed to return to work. No. Idea. I'm hoping May 1 or around then. But it could be mid-May, or even June 1. There is no way to know. I'm out of work until it ends. I havent filed for unemployment yet, but my family wants me to. I'm kind of confused about it since I am just furloughed I guess, do I even qualify for unemployment? Lets say I do. I file for unemployment and collect that extra 600 bucks for April, maybe even May. The crisis ends on June 1st and I'm allowed to go back to work. No more unemployment checks.

Now this is where Lindsey Graham believes that I am going to quit my job so I can collect that extra 600 bucks on my unemployment check for a whopping 2 months and everyone else is going to do that too! Then, when that period ends, I will find a new job. Um. Wat. People that are furloughed aren't going to quit their jobs Lindsey! Its not a permanent situation, the bonus lasts for 4 months. We can write off April, nobody is going back to work in nonessential businesses in April. So its 3 months the job market *might* be affected. This is why we haven't had a vote yet.

In relevant news, Idaho just issued a 21 day shelter in place order, not that anyone will notice because no one lives in Idaho. Also, the virus is exploding in New Orleans. Which sucks.
