McConnell did bring a $650B Bill forward, right?

The fact that he didnt bring the $3.2T house bill (with ample money in slush funds that could be spent on stuff not directly affected by the coronavirus) doesnt mean he didnt try to do anything.

If he didnt move the bipartisan $1.5T bill forward that might be an argument...but thats still stalled in the House.

By waiting until the last minute, not even opening up a dialogue, claiming there was no time, on a bill that was sitting on his desk for nearly 3 months.

Supreme Court vacancy? Country be damned! Fill it! Don't worry about the rule with his namesake last time this happened.

He's a tool.

I dont think waiting a bit is necessarily a bad thing - there was no reason to hurry and pass more stimulus until you could determine how the first few trillion had worked. Waiting until deadlines is unfortunately a reality of most negotiations anyway so not sure why this would really be dofferent.

There also would have been time for debate on the Senate bill prior to the cloture motion if the Democrats in the Senate had wanted to (and they had time to review the bill which was released several days prior to the vote) they just didn't want to negotiate off of the Republicans bill.

You cant put all the blame on McConnell for this one unfortunately...

Any CPAs here that studied and took the GMAT after licensure? Currently looking into prep paths for it, am interested to hear perspective from someone who took both on how you prepped for it compared to CPA. After the hell of passing all 4 CPA exams what I've read so far about the GMAT honestly makes it sound fairly straightforward in comparison, but I don't want to let my CPA ptsd influence me into underestimating it if it's way more demanding than it looks on the surface.

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.
