Ok---geez man---I have already said I did not doubt you.

Can you not live with that???

Can you not admit the republican effort to oppose this unemployment was weak?

It passed through republican committees, was written in no small part by republicans and only at the last minute four of them decided to try to amendment it? Can you say that was minimal effort?

Thank you scruffy.

I have no infatuation with the CCP or the Chinese government. I welcome the opportunity to address any post you wish to point out that gave you that impression.

Can you just be honest ONE TIME?This post by you is what started this:

Maybe you have a link to republicans claiming they did not support the bill before they voted on it.
I gave you a link showing some Republicans tried to amend the bill before it passed. That’s it. That was the entire point.

But ever since then you’ve tried to make it seem like I was saying all or many senate Republicans were involved. That’s an outright LIE on your part.

Stop fricking lying.

Who said this?

Your selective memory is on display today. The $600 unemployment weekly bonus was forced on the Republicans by the Dems as a condition of getting their votes. The Republicans wanted the bill to say "up to $600/week when combined with the states' existing benefits." The Dems held out to get the $600/week to be in addition to what the states were already paying.

I will gladly comply with any forum rule I have unknowingly violated.

If speaking ill of Trump or republican minions voting for this huge bill is a bannable then let me know.

If being sworn at and insulted and called UnAmerican in almost every single thread is ok, my simple correction of what I perceived to be your defense of republicans should be ok too but I may be mistaken.


Such a martyr.

I wrote that. So what? It’s true. There were Republicans who wanted to change the bill. You asked for a link and I gave you a link.

WTF is your point? Do you even know what your point is?

Four on the day the Majority Leader under pressure from the White House declared there would be a vote.

That bill was in the Senate from the 19th till the 25th and no republican stood to stop it.

Do you honestly believe the republicans were interested in stopping it? or even significantly changing it?

Why didn't they call Sander's bluff? why not kill the bill? the answer is republican pressure---pressure from Trump and that pressure on McConnell.

WTF is your point? Do you even know? You said "republicans" as if it was a stance of the party---not four senators on the day they knew they would fail.

But still screw you for wishing failure on my business. An old man I knew long ago used to say about assholes "I hope their dog dies". I do not wish ill on your dog or your cat or your household.

Here in GA our employees are not even claiming UI individually its up the business to claim for them (in most cases). The appeal process is working backwards from the way you are describing.


Sounds like your wife’s employer beat her to the punch and submitted notice to the agency she was separated for cause before she filed her claim. The other option is she filed wrong. Every system is auto accepting approvals for any claim that’s filled out properly. ...but I’m sure there are also a lot of savvy employers and payroll companies that are actively working to torpedo valid employee claims.

I had three truck drivers that got unemployment for 18 months after Katrina and NEVER missed a payroll check. I reported it every quarter when I got my statement.
If this is true, which I doubt since you’re a proven liar, then you’re an idiot if you didn’t get those drivers’ unemployment benefits charges credited back to your account.


This was pretty common after Katrina, and LWC had audit issues around 2011 when the prescriptive periods began expiring for UI clawback of ineligible and fraudulent claims that were never pursued.

Another big Louisiana’ism was the offshore guys who worked 30 days straight then would return and file for UI for three weeks during their 30 days off. I think IT finally fixed that one, but it worked for a long time.

If you run your business like you post on here, I’ll get my wish. Your customers will vote with their feet.
