https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016264088

It should now be clear to everyone: The Republican Party is incapable of governing.
Sure, this sounds partisan. In fact, it’s an analytical reflection based on what is happening right before our eyes.



A telltale sign of the Republicans’ flight from responsibility is that they waited until the last minute before launching their haphazard scramble because they were hoping to avoid having to do anything.


The Democratic House passed a $3 trillion relief bill on May 15. Did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spend the intervening 10 weeks pulling his troops together for the inevitable counterproposal? No. Republicans offered pipe dreams that maybe covid-19 would abate, maybe the economy would come roaring back on its own .?.?. maybe, maybe, maybe.

Having skipped their homework, having spread the coronavirus with a spring break fantasy that bars and restaurants and everything else could open wide, Republicans had the nerve on Wednesday to ask for an extension. Pass a “skinny” bill extending some unemployment insurance provisions and a rent moratorium (without, of course, helping renters pay the rent).
