He redlined it supposedly adding a conditional 2k payment and removing some foreign payments. So congress is supposed to discuss and revote. So, it means nothing and were gonna get 600....maybe. or something. Dumb bill.

Yeah, I was gonna say. A potus can’t just edit up a bill.

What next, he thinks he can change the path of a hurricane with a sharpie?

THis has the earmarks of powerful people telling him to get lost. He had created a crescendo of chaos that ebbed like a baby's belch. Thank God. It is now for Gohmert to push fascism in the courts. I said Gaetz was the stupidest just in time for Gohmert to reclaim the title. These guys have love Trump for the simple reason that they don't have to think, make sense, or support coherent policies. He is what the doctor ordered for emotion/reason reelections. I doubt Gohmert has supported anything short of a Post Office name that made any sense for the country.

What has changed is about 60,000 more COVID deaths and a palpable hatred on the part of most Americans for anything having to do with the Yam Yeti.

This is true. Nevertheless, the house did vote to amend to raise the stimulus to 2k. Senate awaits.

It will get shot down IMO. Perhaps close call, but GOP won’t get on board.

How lovely it must feel to the GOP Senators, now being on the business end of a tweet that unhinged people might see as a call for violence.

It's important to remember that Trump isn't a conservative and doesn't give a shit about GOP positions on anything (whether the deficit or Iran or whatever else). They're not indulging his temper tantrums (as against Facebook and Twitter, for rightly calling out his bullshit; or as against the Constitution, for its pesky "you got your ass landslid" thing). So he's going to smush their ice cream.

Remind me, again, when the founding fathers said the senate majority leader should wield so much power?

Nothing has caused more American misery than the inequitable power and representation of the Senate. It doesn’t take a fugitive slave act to enrage a thinking person. But.

He's not wrong. It's wild that a very popular position is: it is bad to give people with income under $75k checks for $2k, but it is fine to give business owners and mid-six-figures-plus executives massive handouts.

I don’t get it!

There’s so many average Mericans who vilify other average Mericans receiving help when they’re out of work, yet remain indifferent to giving away handouts to those who need it the least.

No. People vilify the people who take advantage of the system to receive govt help they dont need.


Much the same way we villify the corporations for taking advantage of the system.

Where do you see it another way? Why do the avg Americans need or deserve more free shit if they are capable of working? No one is defending the corporations (they shouldn't). Put ya Bernie shoes on!

So why doesn’t that vilification carry any weight, then?

Why can’t Mericans rally against handouts to rich folks the same way they rally against gun control or abortion?
