Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Friday that he met with President Trump on Christmas Day and believes the commander-in-chief's proposal to increase the coronavirus relief check amount to $2,000 per American is the right decision.
Graham, R-S.C., also said he supports Trump's other major demand that Congress strip Big Tech firms like Facebook and Twitter from protections enshrined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

Interesting.
LG from 0 to 1/132 in how many years? Faster than a speeding McTurtle I suppose.
graham will then up the payments to his tranny friends
in pakistan with $2000 each
to supplement the 1 billion $ he already sent them.
I wonder if Trump offered Graham something if Trump is successful.
AG maybe.
Just a thought.
So will they increase the $900 billion Bill to accommodate 2000 instead of 600?
In other words keep all of the pork, just increase the entire cost of the bill...?
I am really beginning to hate these bastards...
No checks
Force the Givenors to open their economies and put people back to work
Their natural state
Yes very interesting, could someone check in see if that is the really Graham?
maybe he was sent to test the waters...saw that Trump isnt budging..so stuck his finger in the wind and decided he better back the American people
Graham is a vile creature. They all are. We need to start all over again. Term limits is a major start. The local gas station owner or a stationary store owner are the people who should elected into public office.
If our elected leaders would stand up for truth and country decency and good they would see an American people rise up in support.
We all vote like robots, not for the best person but for one who is a little better than the worse person. That is the kind of governing body we have now. Far from the best.
I doubt term limits will ever be a thing. The people who vote on term limits are the ones affected by it. I highly doubt they will vote for themselves to be out of a job. A cushy one at that.
An Article V convention could impose it on them.

The other problem we have is that the permanent bureaucracy isn’t term-limited, and is protected by both civil service regulations and union rules unheard of in the private sector. We need to dismantle both sets of barriers to the separation of under-performing employees who make up 99.9% of the government, as opposed to the 0.1% who are elected officials. Term limits mean we keep having to turf seasoned pols who have figured out how to handle the bureaucracy in favor of fly-by-night operators looking for a ticket punch before seeking higher office. Term limits are the problem, not the solution, unless we have at-will employment for unelected government employees.
What’s worse is the way judges have life terms. How are term-limited automatic lame duck politicians supposed to fight the judiciary when they are short-timers? All term limits do is make career civil servants, union bosses and judges more powerful.
