We have the bread, now where is the circus?

We've had the circuses for a long time. Congress, the MSM, the alphabet agencies, Fauci & Co.

I use to think that some politicians would eventually reach down and find they still had a pair and would fight like hell to control spending. I was stupid. Now days I prepare for the fall, hoping against hope this country will stay together long enough for my daughter to die of old age before it completely falls. And I don’t think that will happen.
As for these checks, $2000 is not enough; every single person regardless of age should get $1,250,000 check. You may ask why? Break the damn system now, while they might still be enough people left to rebuild it the way it needs to be rebuilt. Let those who want to steal from the producers die, from starvation or violence, I don”t care.

If you run a delivery company, and someone blocks your delivery trucks from getting out of your company’s garage for a week, they owe you compensation for the revenue that you lost during that week because of their action.

It doesn’t have to pass. The thing with Trump is getting the GOP to fight back instead of caving all the fricking time. You have to understand Trump’s mindset.

That's great as long as you don't really need the $2000.

Well since our ancestors all voted for the free-spending free-loading democrats and RINOs, why shouldn’t they be saddled with the debt as well?

'Rona lockdowns cancelled the three ring circus, the NBA, the NFL, concerts, fairs, you name it.

The masses are getting restless.

I don’t. I really don’t care if it passes or not. The $2,000 will go right back to the gov’t for taxes anyway. (I don’t get scam refunds, I pay in every year).

I assume you haven’t lost a job, lost or had to shut down a business, or are in danger of eviction.

Yeah , they don’t mind giving billions to foreign countries..The GOP is going to be dead soon as most of the voters are working class. He just told all of them to f off

The argument these conservatives care about the budget is such bs and finally over. Everybody has seen the pork.

Mitch McConnell is the antitheses of a leader who lacks 'command presence' … he's fat & jowly.
Contrast him with General Michael Flynn … who has command presence in spades.
Mitch McConnell is a spineless weak kneed RINO.

Good post. You probably won’t get an answer to your question.

Lipstick on a pig (NYT) is still a pig. A biased and boring rag it is. No wonder you like it.

NYT stories get much more viewership from conservative sites and press than they get in their own means distribution system. Is that the NYT strategy?

True, we are the only ones who payback the forced tax advance, while the Billions upon Billions given to other countries doesn’t and a healthy percentage worms it’s way back into their pockets. Sickening.

You sound just like a typical Democrat now. Just because Uncle Donnie supports this doesn’t mean that I have to join the Social Welfare Democrat Party of Populists on the “right” and socialists on the “left.”

Where were all of you populists back in 2008 when we had a worse systemic economic crisis and I was personally suffering?
