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.

    lol

    "Trump made blue states pay a bigger share of the red state social programs, pissing on the principle of states rights. You should be grateful, because he also did something nice that was really obvious."

    "Also, even though he literally has never said he'd undo the increase to the standard deduction, he's totally going to because Republican politicians always oppose every idea the other side has even when it's good."

    There are real arguments to be made, but I'd be casting pearls before swine doing any more than mocking this tool.
