This seems like a bad article that doesn’t explain in details what’s going on especially with the impound ACT because I’m reading on twitter a bit different story

Nah, it’s a great tragedy- and for the country too.
We’ve watched a great, loving, man beaten senseless by thugs.

So?
The law has passed. It is the law.

It also creates new criminal penalties including prison time for violating copyright laws with online streaming. From what I understand; it makes it a felony so loss of gun/voting rights and who knows what other rights.
Yet criminal governors are letting illegal aliens out of jail and giving them a pass.

You been in a hole for the past week?
*********************************
No. Maybe you have and you missed him tweeting earlier this week about why the pork was a terrible thing in this bill. But now he seems to have completely ignored it which provoked my comment.

RescissionsPut simply, if the President wants to spend less money than Congress provided for a particular purpose, he or she must first secure a law providing Congressional approval to rescind the funding in question. The ICA requires that the President send a special message to Congress identifying the amount of the proposed rescission; the reasons for it; and the budgetary, economic, and programmatic effects of the rescission. Upon transmission of such special message, the President may withhold certain funding in the affected accounts for up to 45 legislative session days. If a law approving the rescission is not enacted within the 45 days, any withheld funds must be made available for obligation.The Impoundment Control Act of 1974: What Is It? Why Does It Matter?

“$2000 direct bill has been...”
That (added $1400) is a stand alone bill that was to be voted on Monday in the House.
I guess we’ll see if they follow through.

That’s exactly the way I see it. A $2000 stimulus relief bill for taxpayers? Won’t come out till after January 20. When Biden is an office.

It’s scary that Trump posted just earlier tonight that there was good news coming on this covid bill. Does he really consider anything here good news? If he does he’s going to be very lonely come January 6th in Washington.

Trump: I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill. Which means absolutely nothing.
The Line Item Veto does not exist at the Presidential level. Every President asks for it (Reagan did all the time), but Congress will NEVER grant that. Budgets and legislation are all, or nothing.
Trump's "request" and "insisting" goes right in the circular file.

******?******************************
If he signed this bill with the pork still in it then the answer is no. He doesn’t know that pork is a problem. He talks a good game. But he walks a completely different one. That’s still contingent on if he did in fact sign this bill with the pork still in it.
