Trump is the reason why they lost

It didn’t help. Hard to say how much that mattered when people clearly already saw what an R senate would look like - more Trumpist insanity and gridlock.

It didn’t help. Some people are genuinely hurting and blocking the stimulus was an especially cruel thing to do.

People on here are completely out of touch. Blocking the 2k does little to block those who are actually struggling.

Broad based stimulus in this particular scenario is a handout, pure and simple. 2k isnt going to meaningfully help people who lost their jobs or whose businesses had to shut down. And those who didnt lose their jobs are just going to spend it at Wal-Mart and Amazon since big corporations are the only things open nowdays (or even worse...theyre going to save it)

Targeted support for those affected most would be far more effective with those dollars than buying votes with a 2k handout

D1, sounds reasonable. What about the people whose wages have been decreased as a result of COVID without formal termination? What about the parents whose kids have to stay home due to school closures meaning they can’t go out and work or have to take significantly reduced hours?
What about any of the other multitude of issues people face as a result of COVID that keep them from being able to afford basic necessities?

And the list of questions can go on resulting in Congress having endless debates on what exactly constitutes eligibility for aid. That’s the main issue that a blanket 2k check with an income cap for eligibility addresses. This is a quick and simple to implement solution that gets money out to people because they don’t have time for politicians to have circuitous debates anymore.

Why does everyone act like buying Greenland is a ridiculous idea? Alaska was an awesome purchase and America has a history of doing massive land grabs that are well worth it on the end.

Donald Trump is delivering peace to the Middle East. Barack Obama and Joe Biden delivered pallets of cash to Iran.

Remember that when you vote this November.

There has been brewing division for decades now but Trump has torn the remaining shreds of unity and decorum this country had. It wouldn’t have cost anything to make a unifying and pacifying statement. Reminding us all that we are all Americans and despite our checkered past, the goal is to forge ahead as one united nation.... I was sold on Trump in 2015 and voted for him cos I found him different and entertaining. Now, I’m filled with extreme disgust!!
