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.

    Wow. "I know you are but what am I?"

    Rightwing nutters know no shame. Don't worry, we don't like Biden either but he and Kamal Harris are still 1,000,000X better than Trump and his active white supremacist agenda promoting rightwing authoritarianism world wide.

    There is something that feels good about being ruled by people "like" oneself. (What constitutes "like?") I am very much looking forward to KDH being the first president like me. I already voted for HRC on that basis, and KDH may even be less evil.

      That's a typical authoritarian impulse. It's more challenging to be ruled by yourself rather than merely people who pretend to be like you.
