Ron Johnson plans to have the clerks of the Senate read the entire COVID relief bill aloud, which will take about 10 hours. He further plans to demand that each amendment offered be read aloud during the vote-a-rama, which could take another day or so.

In the end, the bill will become law. Performative politics did not leave with Trump. There is still an appetite for it.

Meanwhile, people are lining up for food give-aways. Unemployment insurance is running out and people will go without. All so Johnson can look good to his base. It is tough to watch that sort of self-absorption and pandering. And what gets me is that his base includes people being hurt by his antics and they will STILL vote for him!

It is a funny old world.
