My take. Don't need the money. Will I use it. Sure. But... The republicans are cutting their own throat here. I'm not getting into the argument of why Trump did what he did. You have your version, I have mine. Republicans saying it's too much and willing to go against Trump are forgetting that they are willing to sign off on a bill that waste BILLIONS of dollars on foreign countries and pet projects but aren't willing to give the american people the extra $1400. By signing the bill as is, they are in fact saying they are fine giving the money to the other line items but not okay giving it to the american people. Word it how you want but there is no denying it is what it is. Not a fan of either major party nor third minor, but republicans got themselves into a bit of a conundrum here.

I wonder how it will effect the run off races in Georgia or if it will at all.

I don’t need the money but I’m sure some folks do and need it badly.
Trump gave Pelosi a winning position with his $2,000 demand. He should have tied a stronger cut in foreign aid to it. Cut first, up the amount second.
Foreign aid is just another money laundering scheme. Give them money and they find a way to funnel some of it back to the chosen few. See Joey B and Ukraine..

I think Trump threw out the $2,000 figure just to undermine the Republicans because he's still mad that they haven't supported his challenge to the election (to his satisfaction) and Pelosi did what Pelosi always does, which is seize a political opportunity to make Democrats look like they "care", while the "evil" Republicans don't. In other words... Politics as usual. |

Only 8 with 6 & 2 voted no. That's how corrupt both parties are.

It is all in attempts to get consumers consuming. It isn't about saving individuals or making them wealthy...with exceptions of those who really profit off big govt. Those guys are on both sides of the aisle.

Take off the masks and open up 100% will stimulate the economy.

Waynes come on man I am still waiting on all that talk you had to come true. See I will not forget all that or let you slide for all that trash talk. You have a bad habit of repeating all that rubbish you hear on that far to the right conspiracy news shows you listen to. And what comes from all that nothing.

And the process of slitting ones own throat continues.
Refuse to vote ✓
Lame excuse why not to increase ✓
Still yes vote on foreign aid ✓
Cry about losing control, soon to come.
What you're about to see is the last stand of the republican party. Again I'll state I don't need the money. Will I spend it, sure. But you can't agree to send money to the absolute most stupid foreign and domestic pet projects they did and not agree to give money to the american people. "Oh, the money will go to people that don't need it". You mean like our enemies and communist and socialist countries that are on a minor level not our allies and a larger level our enemies.

I believe the only bill Trump actually vetoed was the one for the U.S. Armed services. So our pork is going overseas to a part of the world that despises pork. Incredible!
I would say with McConnel's rejection of the $1400 extra the chances of winning one of the Senate races in Georgia drop to about zero.

Easy to say masks work when they don't (but you still want to be a maskhole), easy to to say to isolate or shut down your business when that doesn't work but your business is protected. Socialism! |

Explain how I don’t know for certain but you know for certain.. do tell! How is the place I work at protected ... explain that also! As someone said a lot whining and whimpering going on as usual! Keep spreading the virus and infecting the elderly.... that something to be proud of! |

With sports there has been hundred thousand plus together with no mask and no issue. Plus thousands of office workers in thousands of buildings with no issues. Explain this why 99% plus health. |
