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.

    Tribal jackass, at least the reality of what Trump is seems to be sinking into that TDS skull of yours.

    Heh - and you're ready to admit that Pelosi and Establishment Joe are worse poison than Trump?

    Oh yeah - just read an interesting article on Bloomberg. The man spent over 200 million on this election. And, it seems he gained the party nothing. Dems lost seats almost everywhere, at the federal, state, and local levels. I'm anxiously awaiting the outcome of the senate runoffs in Georgia. Rs need one of those seats to cockblock Establishment Joe for the next two years.

      Simple solution is one R, moves to independent (middle of aisle), then Mitch is cooked. Make it so you have permentant support.

      Say a nice R, is an area that wants more money for rockets (economy). Thats all it would take.

      Make his independent stance a new "party" called "America People Party". Watch the house crumple.

        Simpler solution is to have them all covid test their coke like this guy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LBmGvJAyhfs&feature=youtu.be [youtube.com]

        Then the ones who test positive (have acidic mucus apparently since it is always acidic fruits, soda, and the like testing positive) will recuse themselves from the vote.

      I don't need to do anything, my opinion on any of that is irrelevant because the point was that you couldn't bring yourself to criticize Trump without the emotional security blanket of blaming your sworn enemies.

      Keep that spine gelatinous little buddy! Tough personas are overrated.
