Biden warns of ‘devastating consequences’ of Trump block on pandemic relief

WASHINGTON: US President-elect Joe Biden warned on Saturday of “devastating consequences” if President Donald Trump continues to delay signing a Covid-19 economic relief bill passed by Congress.
Trump threw a long-awaited pandemic aid package into doubt last week as millions of Americans prepared to lose benefits and face eviction — demanding lawmakers more than triple the $600 direct payments to US taxpayers.
“This abdication of responsibility has devastating consequences. Today, about 10 million Americans will lose unemployment insurance benefits,” Biden said in a statement.

He is 100 percent right. However, with less than 24 days to go before the new democratic party's administration takes over the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. and beyond, who cares about the current deplorable plight and miserable condition of the helpless, feeble, weak, vulnerable, jobless, foodless & hapless U.S. people, dying left & right due to Covid-19, under the auspices of racist, bigot, liar, biased and prejudiced Trump & his corrupt, cruel, cunning, crooked and criminal cronies?

Biden is dreaming. He won't be President. Trump is going to impose martial law.
