When we boil everything down to its most basic self, the difference between Democrats and the new Republican Trump Party is stark. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wants to use some of America’s vast resources from the upcoming financial package to support the people’s families, their jobs, and the communities. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stated outright that package was dead upon arrival.
McConnell has been Donald Trump’s partner as he freezes out the American people from important cash infusions. The Kentucky senator was perfectly comfortable handing off a huge tax break for the top one-percenters. Now, Pelosi wants to give families another shot in the financial arm, $1,200 for the individual and up to $6,000 for families. She wants to give essential workers hazardous pay — everyone from nurses and doctors to those who clean the hospital rooms and all other supportive jobs.
Pelosi wants to fund the American postal system that the GOP has starved financially so that the Republicans can privatize it. She has money for the hospital systems and money for state governments who pay the teachers and police among others. The latter is to finance their unemployment coffers, their transit systems, and any other State or local area that has struggled under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump did not even mention the pandemic in his morning tweet. His lack of empathy makes even more apparent his personality flaws. Instead, the president kicked off the GOP dance around two seats the Republicans took back from the Dems.
Certainly, the Democrats cannot rest on their laurels, but two seats do not make a 2020 GOP win. It could be this is a wakeup call for Democratic and Independent voters. Trump tweeted about “Big wins!” in a conservative California district and another one in Wisconsin:
‘Big Congressional win in California for Mike Garcia, taking back a seat from the Democrats. This is the first time in many years that a California Dem seat has flipped back to a Republican. Also, Tom Tiffany beat his Democrat rival BIG in Wisconsin. Two great Congressional WINS!’
Never one to forget the media’s truth-telling, Trump went after ABC’s host of Good Morning America  anchor George Stephanopoulos and POTUS’ presidential opponent for 2020, former Vice President Joe Biden:
‘Does anybody believe this man? Caught!’

Trump has not forgotten anyone on his decades-old enemies list. He certainly relishes going after his political opponents, much like dictatorial leaders do across the globe. Here, he attacked President Barack Obama:
‘Obama was always wrong!’
