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.

    No, you're the idiot. Trump was receiving an award from a midget. He had to squat down for the short man to drape the necklace thing around his neck. FFS, you're really digging hard to prove that the Trump is as ignorant of protocols as Obama.

    The president doesn't bow or curtsey to any foreign power. Ever. In fact, no member of the US armed forces ever bows to anyone, especially not in uniform. It isn't done.

    "It would be more accurate to call it a bow." or "The president doesn't bow." One or the other.

      Have you ever had a class in reading comprehension?

      1. Curtsey is totally inaccurate.
      2. Bow would be more accurate
      3. but neither 1 or 2 is accurate.
      4. Trump squatted to allow a short guy put an award around his neck.

      Please, visit your community college and take some remedial reading classes.
