Congress stalling next stimulus, people could be evicted on August 1st.

Scot here don’t fully understand US laws can eviction happen so quickly to people?

Some of these are tenants who had already been served with notice but had the clock stopped. The clock will start ticking again if something isn't done.

Normally it's a 30 to 60 day notice but state laws vary.

Thank you @AcrossthePond55 so hard for people who are made unemployed with CV to make up rent arrears.
Hope the Congress pass the stimulus before 1st.
How is
Nancy Pelosi regarded? Watching her today she seemed genuine & caring

“Jelly beans in a jar” Obama comment about voting, really happen.?

Ermagawd, Mitch said "no" to his orange overlord.

I hope they do something before the 1st too, but the way things are going I don't think it's going to happen.

I think Nancy is marvelous as do most Democrats. She really seems to 'live by her own lights', which is a US way of saying she 'walks the walk as well as talking the talk'. I really admire her.

Yes, the 'guess the correct number of jelly beans in the jar in order to vote' really did happen. It was one of the many bogus and bullshit 'voting tests' that black voters were forced to pass in the South in order to vote. There were also impossible to pass 'literacy tests', too.

Without a shred of irony, McEnany says the Trump administration condemns Hong Kong's decision to delay its election because it undermines democracy

Isn't it, Coquo.

And remember that at the time that 'test' was being given, the black population in the South was mostly rural and very poorly educated, some even illiterate. And that poor education was due to white Southern politicians voting down education funding and reforms.

Bestseller?

Almost as if they are connected by one big swampy swamp:

Well. James Murdoch has just resigned from the board of News Corp citing editorial differences and differences over strategic decisions.

In addition to The Times, The Sun and The Sunday Times in the UK, News Corp owns the Wall Street Journal and Fox News in the US and The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and The Herald Sun in Australia. So it's still quite the empire.

Is it because of the empire's stance on the environment?

Sinking ship etc:

edition.cnn.com/2020/07/31/politics/senate-mcconnell-trump-firewall/index.html

'Washington (CNN)Sen. Mitch McConnell is allowing Republican Senate candidates to do whatever it takes to salvage their campaigns ahead of what Republicans increasingly fear could be a devastating election for their party.

In recent weeks, the Senate majority leader has become so concerned over Republicans losing control of the Senate that he has signaled to vulnerable GOP senators in tough races that they could distance themselves from the President if they feel it is necessary, according to multiple senior Republicans including a source close to McConnell.
That could mean breaking with Trump on the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic and the continued efforts by the President to paint an optimistic picture despite rising cases and deaths across parts of the country, especially in many Republican states in the South and Midwest.'

Anyone like to make a new thread?

Less than 100 days.

One of the most racist commentators on Fox - and most watched - Tucker Carlson unloads on Obama since he dared to speak out at John Lewis' funeral. (Carlson also doesn't seem to understand irony.)

He's caught a bad case of projection from hanging around the swamp brothers.
