Wot no coronavirus thread? Part 2

Exactly, the latest version of the bill didn't have ANY checks until Trump finally softened in December and that $600 was from him and his Treasury bro. Hilarious how he positioned himself as opposition to his own proposal. LOL

[Kidlicious]

Never said I was... and frankly, I thought it sucked. most compromises do.
But the point I was making is that Trump had checked out on it and left it to his guy... he didn't stay involved.
And frankly, I think his jumping into the fray now is based more on Trump trying to be liked and pissing off the people that didn't support him like he wanted. Yeah, opinion, but I believe it.

You keep ignoring the fact that they wanted the pork and Trump didn't. Would Trump accept some? Probably, but it's a particularly bad bill.

And gee, it was Trumps own representative for the negotiations that came up with the compromise bill that he later trashed...
Maybe he should have gotten involved himself instead of hiding in the White House pouting...

That doesn't mean it's what Trump wanted. The negotiator was just trying to get a deal between two sides. It's a horrible deal. You shouldn't be proud of it.

"We need to send a clean bill with just $2,000 survival checks and a separate spending/covid relief bill.

“Negotiating everything into one bill is how we got here, since Trump wants to sign a bill with survival checks, let’s send one to his desk right away.”
- Rep. Omar

[Ted Striker]

Wow, such a strong effort, call me impressed. What did that take, 30 seconds? Wow this guy really gets dirty and into the trenches fighting for the American people.

[Kidlicious]

And when did he make that promise... It certainly didn't come up with it while he was pouting and not doing his job and just spending time on his coup... He pretty much stayed out of the negotiations and sent his lackey, the one who was pushing 600... and it wasn't until later and after the fact that he came up with his promise...
So yeah, I question his real motives as well....

He tweeted that when the negotiations began. The negotiations were over the pork that Congress wanted, and the Ds wanted 4 trillion.

[Ming]

Nope. He promised every American $1200 if they sent him a clean bill.

Keep telling yourself that. He could have said something months ago but didn't say ****. GOP is all scared of him so all he could have spoken up and they would have followed along since they are a bunch of bootlickers.

[Ming]

Ain't that the Truth... Trump is just getting his revenge because all the Republicans aren't kissing his ass and going along with his attack on Democracy. He put them in a position where they may have to go on record voting against money for the people.

And the Dems are just loving it.
So I'm with you, I don't really care why he's doing it....

[Kidlicious]

Trump has nothing to do with you not getting 9/10 of your money.

[Ted Striker]

Here's what's really going on. Kidicious is just repeating desperate damage control being spouted out by alt-right news, who are trying to pin the whole thing on Nancy Pelosi. All they have to do is just say "Pelosi," and it puts the right into a frenzy. She's in the same league as Antifa or minorities with the right, who are always the scapegoats.

Anyway, the multi-hundred page bill landed in Representatives offices hours before they were supposed to vote on it. It's clear the negotiations were done at the party leadership level, leaving out the lower ranks from even knowing what was in it.

Trump, to score revenge on Mitch McConnel for endorsing Joe Biden as President, and to pull an 11th hour stunt to try and improve his legacy, threatened to veto the bill because it didn't have enough money for Americans.

He's about half a year late on that, so it's not that he really cares about his own citizens, he's just looking out for himself as usual.

So the Democrats called him on it, and supported the measure, as they have been fighting for more money the whole time, but Mitch has been a stubborn piece of ****, caught literally crying on the job over some insignificant BS, but hasn't shed a tear for the American people.

Trump has been waging war on the GOP for the past month, you see this at his rallies where his bootlickers will shout stuff like "destroy the GOP."

He's effectively nuetered Mitch McConnel and put him in a situation with no choices at this point.

I support any efforts to put more money into the hands of the American people. Even if it's belated and self-serving for Trump.

[Kidlicious]

So let's see... The Republicans were against giving any money at all... and the Dems wanted to give far more money...
And they ended up compromising at that lower figure, but it's the Dems that acted like asses and don't give a **** about people.
Got it...

Why do you keep bringing up Republicans and Democrats? They all did this, and they don't care about your money. They only care about the pork.
