Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
- Trump signs stimulus and government spending bill into law, averting shutdown
- Trump Signs Pandemic Relief Bill After Unemployment Aid Lapses
- Trump signs stimulus bill ahead of government shutdown, releasing checks and aid
- Trump signs COVID relief bill amid pressure, but adds conditions
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.

The last time I saw him he was walking down Lover's Lane holding his own hand.

Senility. Everything he complained about was either not true, or it was stuff that he asked for in his budget request.
The peons should feel very lucky that there is a high stakes runoff election going on right now, otherwise Moscow Mitch wouldn't have let ANY bill out. He began poisoning the economic recovery well for Biden right after it looked like Trump wouldn't win. That's why the House passed their bill months ago and the Senate did jack until the GA senators were getting beat up on the issue.

Yes, but then they were willing to do a deal and Pelosi decided that nothing was better than something and now we get even smaller scraps.

Because it was once again a pathetic excuse of relief for the average American while sending us further in debt with giveaways to corporations and churches that pocket the money and continue kicking their employees. Always the same bullshit with you rightwingers, hypocrisy and lies.
