Definitely plenty of blame to go around, but my rankings of most responsible to least responsible: * Mitch McConnell for being the one person who blocked the vote on the $2000 survival checks * Donald Trump as leader of the Republican Party for not getting involved in the negotiations until it was too late and failing to get McConnell in line afterward * Every Republican Senator who voted for McConnell as leader * Chuck Schumer as the leader of the Democratic Senate minority for failing to support Bernie's push to filibuster the defense bill until the $2000 Survival checks * Every other Democratic Senator who refused to join Bernie in his fight to get the up and down vote for the $2000 checks	Frustration, Anger, Injustice	true	false	false	false	true	false	false	false	false	false	false	false	true	false	false	false	false

When a vast amount of citizens take their ques from a POTUS and Party that do not take mask wearing or social distancing seriously, and continue to downplay the virus, what the hell are States supposed to do? They can't run deficits, they are being challenged in Courts over shutdown orders, having their Capitals stormed by gun-toting CoD-larpers, death threats, etc...

Just so people understand/don’t freak out, what they’re asking to do here (a special emergency 10 day audit to “investigate” voter fraud, delaying Biden’s certification) won’t actually happen. For them to execute this they would need to, in combination with the democratic house, vote to reject the existing electoral college votes. They don’t have the numbers for that in the house, and likely don’t have in them in the senate either. What they’re actually doing here is signaling to the MAGA crowd that “well there was just so much fraud that Pelosi and the crooked dems wouldn’t let us do the audit!” so Trump can maintain his voter fraud fantasy after the inauguration. Here’s how this will actually play out - Objection raised to a state’s electoral votes - Cruz et al. give speeches about how there should be a 10 day audit - Whether to accept or reject the votes is put to a vote in the senate and house - The house, and probably the senate, vote to accept the electoral votes - The electoral votes are counted and we move on to the next state. Repeat if necessary. This way they can have their pointless loyalty votes (“we are the representatives and senators who wanted Trump to overturn the election”) on the record.

They can't run deficits, they are being challenged in Courts over shutdown orders, having their Capitals stormed by gun-toting CoD-larpers, death threats, etc...

Just so people understand/don’t freak out, what they’re asking to do here (a special emergency 10 day audit to “investigate” voter fraud, delaying Biden’s certification) won’t actually happen. For them to execute this they would need to, in combination with the democratic house, vote to reject the existing electoral college votes. They don’t have the numbers for that in the house, and likely don’t have in them in the senate either. What they’re actually doing here is signaling to the MAGA crowd that “well there was just so much fraud that Pelosi and the crooked dems wouldn’t let us do the audit!” so Trump can maintain his voter fraud fantasy after the inauguration. Here’s how this will actually play out - Objection raised to a state’s electoral votes - Cruz et al. give speeches about how there should be a 10 day audit - Whether to accept or reject the votes is put to a vote in the senate and house - The house, and probably the senate, vote to accept the electoral votes - The electoral votes are counted and we move on to the next state. Repeat if necessary. This way they can have their pointless loyalty votes (“we are the representatives and senators who wanted Trump to overturn the election”) on the record.
