Pretty much the same compromise the democrat fascists were offered months ago. But, there was an election coming up. Much more important than the American people who were suffering.

This is what you support.

President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to not sign an $892 billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.

READ Pelosi Letter Demanding House GOP Leader McCarthy Allow Addition of $2000 Checks to Covid Bill Immediately
 
 
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi demanded House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy allow unanimous consent to increase Covid stimulus payments to $2000.00 following President Donald Trump’s late-night demand for the same.
 
Democratic leaders have leapt on Trump’s demand to increase the payments — to a level that they’ve been proposing for months — by publicly calling for Republicans to hop on board. In a letter to her caucus published Wednesday morning, Speaker Pelosi urged colleagues to stand ready to pass the increase:
 
PELOSI — Dear Colleague on Unanimous Consent Request to Increase Economic Impact Payments
 
December 23, 2020
 
Dear Democratic Colleague,
 
Just when you think you have seen it all, last night, the President said that he would possibly veto the bicameral agreement negotiated between Republicans and Democrats. He said he would do so, unless the economic impact payments were increased to $2,000.
 
In the bipartisan negotiations, Leader Schumer and I repeatedly asked Republicans what would be the highest number the President would accept for direct payments, and they responded with Sphinx-like silence. In the negotiations, they would never go above $600 and in some cases, proposed $500.
 
Yesterday, I said that Democrats would go to the Floor and ask for Unanimous Consent to bring up a standalone bill to increase the payments. To do so requires the agreement of the Republican Leader. This agreement is necessary in the House and in the Senate.
 
If the President truly wants to join us in $2,000 payments, he should call upon Leader McCarthy to agree to our Unanimous Consent request.
 
We are scheduled to go in for a pro forma session tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. We are awaiting word from Leader Hoyer as to whether Leader McCarthy will agree to or reject our Unanimous Consent request.
 
The entire country knows that it is urgent for the President to sign this bill, both to provide the coronavirus relief and to keep government open.
 
Let us pray!
 
Nancy
 
Whether Trump’s demand was a bluff, a sincere bout with generosity, or a Georgia runoff-influenced bit of political maneuvering, Pelosi and the Democrats are trying their hardest to capitalize on it.

"Sources say Trump in recent days has brought the matter up to the vice president and has been "confused" as to why Pence can't overturn the results of the election on January 6."

I genuinely believe this to be true.  Trump is confused as to why he can't just get his own way, regardless of the law, or what 80 million Americans want.

I'm confused as to why Pence can't attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment.
