Senate could be in session until deal reached on coronavirus bill

They made some concessions which we appreciated. we made some concessions which they appreciated. WE're still far away on a lot of the important issues but we're continuing to go at itSome Republican senators have indicated they're willing to forgo their usual August recess and remain in session until a deal is reached on the next coronavirus relief bill. White House officials and congressional Democrats are currently locked in a stalemate over what should be included in the next bill and have met almost daily to negotiate.

I think we ought to stay until we get a deal," Republican Senator Rick Scott, of Florida, told reporters Tuesday before the GOP conference lunch. Utah Senator Mitt Romney said, "People who are doing the negotiating need to be working around the clock to get it done."

After the luncheon, Senator John Cornyn said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had told Republicans to be prepared to stay in session until White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have reached a deal with Democrats.

"Meadows and Mnuchin said that the Democrats still do not appear to be serious about reaching a negotiated outcome, and so we're prepared to be in session until we get one," Cornyn said.

Fuck all three of you dickwads. The Dems in the house had a bill ready in May and it's been sitting on McConnell's desk this whole time.

I know turtles are slow but this is ridiculous.
