Relief for taxpaying workers quaranteed at home. (tears) why can't congressmen and senators act like they're also human? Who did we elect in there anyway? What bought out their hearts that they can act this way? Delay another day, argue for another day.
Family members of Workers at home may not eat for another day.

Oh, the Democrats want to hand the 'workers' their money instead of 'business owners'? Wonder if leftists will give money to the cruise ship owners? or do they dislike them, too?

Fuckin' of course, a stalemate. Anything to block Trump's efforts. They don't give one tiny little shit about the American people.

Are we at all surprised that there would be no relief for working taxpayers. All about gibs, but for you and I that work for a living??? Pile it on, then those who still think Democrats are for the "working man" will begin to see the lie.

all I'm hearing from them is that the bill was only good for giant corporations and that's why the honorable dems rejected it, they won't ever stop regurgitating the propaganda that has permanently damaged their brains. They will never begin to see the lie, ever, they are past the point of no return.

You are spot on about that, anon. The indoctrination is strong with these ones....

Enough R's isolated due to corona just in time to see the bill fail to advance. I really don't like the whole idea of empty bills passed and final wording put in later but this move makes the Dems look like they are totally against delivering assistance. With those missing Senators present to vote for advancement, the Dems persistance to go against anything POTUS does would have been muted.

According to the article, it would have required 2/3 to advance, not a simple majority.
