Wot no coronavirus thread? Part 2

[Ming]

Yep... totally clueless

[Kidlicious]

He isn't a sociopath but you have a bad problem called Trump Derangement Syndrome and it causes you to have absurd beliefs to the point of hilarity.

[-Jrabbit]

Kidiot, so clueless.

[-Jrabbit]

Wow, you really do just reflexively spout whatever they tell you. I love how you're blindly accepting the idea that the greediest, most self-dealing sociopath on the planet has some kind of ethical objection to pork. It's truly laughable.

Again, if he actually cared about the details of the bill, all he had to do was send Mitch his checklist. Instead, he wants to broker whatever deal gets done, hoping to force the rank and file to choose between loyalty to Trump and GOP. It reads like a revenge shot at McConnell, TBH.

[Kidlicious]

He asked for a clean bill in the beginning. That's a fact. Get it through your head.

[-Jrabbit]

Don't be naive; this isn't about making a deal.
What Trump wants is chaos. He said nothing beforehand so that he could threaten to veto whatever bill finally arrived at his desk.
And here we are.

[Kidlicious]

You don't like the pork bill but you still side with the Republicans that put it in so you can pay 9x in tax what they give you for Covid relief. Whatever Ming.

[Ming]

Gee... those same republicans who were his best buddies until they wouldn't support his coup...
One might argue they are the real republicans while Trump is the Swamp trash...

[Kidlicious]

Again, I won't argue that "this time". But I do question his actual motivations here.
He really is screwing his fellow Republicans... and that I really enjoy

They aren't his fellow Republicans. The are Swamp trash. He ran against them.

[Kidlicious]

Doesn't matter if he "threw him under the bus," or not. Trump wanted a clean bill. That's what he said and they could have given him one you fool.

[Ted Striker]

Love seeing the GOP implode in on itself LOL.

[Ted Striker]

Of course he's anti-pork. He promised to sign a clean bill giving everyone $1200. And now he's going up to $2000 to make a deal.

Nope, he threw his errand boy under the bus for his own lack of involvement. He had months to review the proposed legislation, can't come at the 11th hour and claim you don't know about it.

Keep licking those boots though

Fox News Anchor Says Trump 'Throwing' Mnuchin 'Under the Bus' With Stimulus Criticism

"President Trump is throwing his treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, under the bus," Bret Baier said Wednesday during a segment of Fox News show America's Newsroom. "Mnuchin has been in the conversation for months with [congressional] leadership about how this was going to go and what compromise they could agree to, and finally getting to this compromise that was passed through both chambers and now the president's saying, 'It's not good enough for me.'"

[Ming]

Again... please point out where I have EVER said I like the pork or approve of it.
And don't try to paint Trump as a anti porker. In this case, maybe, but in the past, he's been as bad as the rest trying to get his stuff and agenda added to bills.
