Senate unanimously passes $2T coronavirus stimulus package

The Senate unanimously passed an approximately $2.2 trillion stimulus package late Wednesday night in an effort to jumpstart an economy decimated by the coronavirus pandemic.
The bill provides aid for workers, small business and industries impacted in recent weeks by the virus.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) compared the efforts by Congress to combat the coronavirus to being on a “war-time footing.”
“This is not even a stimulus package. It is emergency relief. Emergency relief. That’s what this is,” McConnell said Wednesday afternoon ahead of the vote.
Taking a victory lap after the vote, McConnell noted that the Senate had gone from a deeply partisan impeachment trial to an overwhelming bipartisan 96-0 vote in the span of the two months.
“This is a proud moment for the United States Senate and for the country, and we’re going to win this battle in the very near future,” he said.
Congress has been under intense pressure to pass a third round of coronavirus relief funding as the United States saw a steady uptick of cases, which has rattled the markets and upended day-to-day American life. The bill marks an unprecedented attempt by the federal government to revive the economy and prevent a deep recession. The 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), by comparison, was $700 billion; the “phase two” coronavirus bill was $104 billion.
The unanimous vote came roughly 22 hours after congressional leaders and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday that they had clinched an agreement after more than five days of around-the-clock negotiations that kept lawmakers in the Capitol late into the night every day since Friday.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who spearheaded the final days of talks with Mnuchin, characterized the agreement as a compromise for both parties and urged his colleagues to move quickly.
"We all know that not everyone is going to want every provision. We all know that so many things so many of us want are left out. But we all know we must do these things,” Schumer said.
The wide-reaching bill includes a $1,200 one-time check for individuals who make up to $75,000. That amount would scale down until it reached an annual income threshold of $99,000, where it would phase out altogether.
It also provides $377 billion in small business aid, would defer federal student loan payments through Sept. 30, 2020, and would prevent money given under the bill to the Pentagon to be transferred to the border wall.
Americans are being encouraged to “social distance” and some states have enacted wide-ranging orders to try to prevent the spread of the disease. To help address those changes, the bill also provides $100 billion for hospitals and $200 billion for other “domestic priorities,” including child care and assistance for seniors.
The United States had 62,086 confirmed coronavirus cases as of late Wednesday afternoon, according to John Hopkins University.
But Wednesday’s vote wasn’t without some 11th-hour drama. Four GOP senators — Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Rick Scott (Fla.), Tim Scott (S.C.) and Ben Sasse (Neb.) — held a press conference seven hours before Wednesday’s vote raising red flags about, what they termed, a “drafting error” in the bill related to the bolstered unemployment provisions.
The unemployment provision — which was negotiated by McConnell, Schumer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin — includes four months of boosted unemployment benefits, including increasing the maximum unemployment benefit by $600.
But Scott, of South Carolina, Graham and Sasse warned in a joint statement that they would “oppose the fast-tracking of this bill unless this text is addressed.” The GOP senators asked for an amendment vote to cap unemployment benefits at 100 percent of salary. If they got their vote, they said, they would let McConnell speed up the bill.
In response, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) warned that unless they dropped their demand he would also place a hold on the bill until language was ensure “stronger conditions are imposed on the $500 billion corporate welfare fund to make sure that any corporation receiving financial assistance under this legislation does not lay off workers, cut wages or benefits, ship jobs overseas or pay workers poverty wages.”
Under Senate rules any one senator can slow down the bill, delaying its passage for days. In the end, McConnell gave the GOP senators a vote on their amendment, which failed 48-48. Sixty votes were required for it to pass.
The unemployment provision wasn’t the only issue still being ironed out on Wednesday. Appropriators disclosed on Wednesday afternoon that they had agreed to include more than $15 billion in new Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding, which was a huge priority for House Democrats.
Negotiators also worked through the night Tuesday to finalize the language on the hundreds of billions in aid for impacted industries. The 700-plus page bill includes a $500 corporate liquidity fund to corporations; $25 billion would be set aside for U.S. airlines, $4 billion for air cargo carriers and $17 billion for other distressed companies related to critical national security.
And the bill was still being tweaked down to the final hours of the Senate’s debate, with multiple pieces of legislation alleged to be the “final draft” circulated. The text of the bill was filed at 10:03 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Overnight and into today some various final matters were discussed and ultimately resolved,” said Eric Ueland, the White House director of legislative affairs.
Asked about the delay, Ueland told The Hill that “continuing to see and review legislative language and continuing to make sure that everyone was comfortable with the pieces that were outstanding after the deal was announced last night.”
A Democratic aide told The Hill that one provision that held up the bill on Wednesday was getting Republicans to include agreed upon language regarding oversight of the $500 billion corporate fund.
“Republicans had left out agreed upon language that requires the Treasury Department and Fed to publish for the public to see every seven days which companies and entities gain financing through Treasury’s lending of the bailout funds," the aide explained. "Without this language, this information could have been kept secret from public. Schumer held up the bill until GOP changed bill."
The bill now heads to the House, where lawmakers will try to pass the bill on Friday. Leadership wants to pass the bill without having to bring all members back to Washington, D.C., meaning they could either pass it by consent or a voice vote.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced on Wednesday night that they would try to pass it by voice vote on Friday.
“Members are advised that the House will convene at 9 a.m. on Friday, March 27, 2020 to consider the bill,” Hoyer announced in a statement. “Members are further advised that due to the limited flight options, Members participating in self-quarantine, and several states mandating stay-at-home orders, we expect the bill to pass by voice vote on Friday.

Oh I have a lot more where that came from. I only post light duty X22 to spark interest, but the real meat is a problem for society in general as the truth in hard core facts would put 90% of the people in the hospital. Their minds would blow. Trump is a genius by many standards. Remember bad actor open mouth and insert foot. Trump lets them speak and like Bolton they hang themselves in the public eye. Nothing escapes the public eye just because it is swept under the rug by the MSM.
Many of the phrases I use are right from the Q posts. However I have always used these before Q went public. Growing up in Metro DeeeTroit has taught me much as it is a sanctuary state. Traffic of men, women and children, drugs, organs, murder, machine gun fire, held at gun point, knives used to steel my wallet.
Scabs on hundreds of teens walking the streets homeless, puke. 40+ years. Worked for mob run companies. Been threatened by the rich mafia Jews, intimidated as a youth, watched GM union representatives sell coke right in the assembly lines. Watched the bodies rolled out on a stretcher while the line only stopped for 10 minute after gun fire. I could go on, you get the idea. Now you know why I like X22, he is smooth and nice, I rock back in my easy chair when he is on. He knocks me out.

Thanks Danny you are a sweet guy. Just listen again. Today Q posted about the media, here it is.
You can\t trust this stuff. Anyway hot off the DoD servers. A.K.A. dept of defense. The media is a threat to our NATIONAL SECURITY. Do you understand? Now who is the good cop? It's you. Also be sure to take the time to fill in the blanks as much as your knowledge base will permit on military comm's.
A person(s) value:
1. vote
2. monetary value (tax contribution)
3.
Why is 'free thought' ridiculed, challenged, and threatened when a person is opposed to the 'mainstream-narrative'?
[2] remains fixed (degree allowable by 'economic recession/expansion')
[1] remains a variable
[1] dependent on a 'controlled' system of information dissemination
What happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations?
What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?
What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?
What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?
What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?
What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?
Fact becomes fiction?
Fiction becomes fact?
When does news become propaganda?
Identity creation?
How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction?
Majority of people more prone to believe someone in power sitting behind a big brand ‘news’ name?
Do people [human psyche] tend to follow the ‘majority/mainstream viewpoint’ in fear of being isolated and/or shunned?
‘Mainstream’ is used for a reason [dominate trend in opinion].
[If majority of people believe ‘x’ then ‘x’ must be validated / true]
Why do ‘mainstream’ media heads, within different orgs, always use the same keywords and/or catch phrases?
Coordinated? By who? Outside entity providing instructions?
Do they count on the fact that people [human psyche] are more prone to believe something if heard over-and-over again by different ‘trusted’ sources?
Do ‘echo chamber’ tactics provide validation / credibility to the topic/point being discussed?
Threat to intellectual freedom?
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Read again – digest.
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Logical thinking.
Why, after the election of 2016, did [D]’s and media corps jumpstart a [coordinated & planned] divisive blitz intended to create falsehoods re: illegitimacy of election, character assassination of POTUS through sexism, racism, every other ‘ism’?
Pre/post 2016 election?
Why were violent [masked] terror orgs such as Antifa immediately created/funded?
Why were these orgs tasked w/ immediate intimidation/shut down of any pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized to counter and silence pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized which divided people into sex/gender, race, [ism]?
When you control the levers of news dissemination, you control the narrative.
Control of the narrative = power
When you are blind, what do you see?
They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or stable [livestock kept – sheep].
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Anyone tried iodine, KI, to control inflammation? I wonder if it's been tried against Covid-19?
Iodine is one of our oldest germ killers, often used to control external infection of wounds, pre-surgical scrubs, etc. Taken internally, it becomes systemic, and fights inflammation everywhere. I have taken 12 mg/d doses for several months to help decalcify my pineal gland. That may seem like a lot of manufactured iodine, but some maritime societies l[Japanese] consume 10 mg of natural iodine from sea products every day with no long term side effects.
Iodoral produces a good product at modest costs.
