President Trump on Sunday signed a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill that includes $600 stimulus checks for most Americans.

If he can’t turn around the election then I have to say President Trump leaves with a whimper, not a bang.
I had so hoped otherwise.
Have the Republicans of the House and the Senate agreed to support the $2,000 legislation?
The Impoundment Control Act of 1974: What Is It? Why Does It Matter?
Let’s get the story right...Just another Dem blackmail.
He’s a good man with a stout heart and great instincts
Who lacks discipline, focus and follow-through
They were going to override his veto to begin with, he dealt with the hand he had to play. He stalled it and used the bully pulpit to try and get some revisions.
Such shallow surface thinkers here nowadays...
Hard to do anything about it as a w2 serf without deductions at this point in life.
He signed it.
The ‘redlined’ items may be impounded for 45 days.
Unless both Houses of Congress agree to drop the ‘redlined’ items that money must then be spent.
This is awful for the President.
Yep
Been saying that for weeks now. No one wants to hear it unfortunately.
Conservatism is supposed to be about what reality is, not what we wish it to be.
“Thank you.
Do you know if both the House and the Senate are voting Monday on the $2,000 legislation?”
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are ecstatic. We are going to see if the Freedom Caucus in the House votes tomorrow with Pelosi and Trump or against them.
He signed it. But he is also attempting to do some “rescissions”...see:

I guess that means the $600. per person is a “done deal”. The “Impoundment Control Act of 1974” only allows for attempted “claw backs” not “add-ons”.
What part of they were going to override his veto don’t you understand?
He got what he could. That’s how he operates. My God the density
They could not override the veto.
There was no time before the clock ran out.
He could have moved it to the new Congress.
If Trump doesn’t know that the pork is the issue then he is really lost. And not a whole heck of a lot different than the dems.
“The alternate electors are our hope for the Republic.”
There are no alternate electors.
That’s delusion.
$95K per person....$190K for joint filers.
$2000 direct bill has been building in the news since yesterday, a Democrat House Member said there were votes for it.
This headline is misleading. Apparently he redlined out the pork and indicated sections he would approve but insisted Americans receive $2000.
Then he signed a temp measure to avert govt shutdown.
New media ran with the story that he signed the $600 COVID bill.
That’s what I glean so far, could be wrong but I always wait hours to get an accurate picture and usually wait 24 hrs to get the final picture.
