Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:

Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.

I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

    So are memes illegal now or no? I thought we had 45 more days.

    Yes. You are now illegal.

    Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect your $600 COVID relief check.

      Silly AC. This is the rise of the Bidenreich. He will not go to jail, the PedoFurher will eliminate the jails. Instead he will go to the reeducation camp!

        It was Trump who signed that bill into law, friend.

        Biden is just a spectator for the next 23 days.

          If Trump isn't a two term president then I'm a monkeys uncle. You will be to.

      And Democrats voted 100% for the meme fine. It all makes sense since Trump is a lifelong Democrat.

        And 97.5% of Republicans in the House did so as well. Your point?

        Trump is most certainly not a Democrat. He is the *owner* of the Republican Party.

        And he is that because the Republican Party are a bunch of gullible suckers. Just like L'Orange likes 'em.

          Sorry, I can't tell you the point because anything that goes against red team vs blue team gets immediately downvoted. It is all important to be for one team and against the other.

            Fuck off, jackass.

            Is that red or blue? I can't tell.

            Neither. You're just an asshole. Feel better now?
