Ordinarily, I’d applaud Comrade Bernie Sanders for filibustering the pork laden omnibus defense bill. But he has an ulterior motive, and it’s not about the junk in the bill. Instead, Comrade Sanders is trying to use his filibuster threat in order to force a vote on the $2,000 covid-19 stimulus payment. I understand that after communist governors and mayors basically killed people’s livelihoods in blue states with communist style lockdowns that people are hurting. But this is all about Bernie Sanders and the communist Democrats trying to buy votes, especially ahead of the Georgia January 5th, 2021 runoffs.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday he plans to filibuster the Senate’s vote to overturn Trump’s veto of the defense spending bill, unless Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees to vote on a bill to raise individuals’ stimulus payments to $2,000.https://t.co/gA6Se7nghR
