He seems to be mixing up what is in the Covid bill with what is in the omnibus bill. Twitter is going nutty about the foreign aid they thought was in the Covid bill, but like Trump they made a mistake and can't be told otherwise. It's one thing for those of us in the peanut gallery not to know ( I certainly wouldn't have), but the President himself and some of these reporters? Unreal.

I hear you. There is so much corruption in our system. So many rich people got these huge loans, while the small businesses who needed it didn't get anything.

Yeah, that's pretty gross. Maybe it will help some restaurants survive, but as always the Republicans show their priorities.

Right. The Republicans had the upper hand in more ways than one. If you are Nancy Pelosi you care that every single day that goes by means another day of food insecurity for millions of people. I'm guess the Democrats also look at this in terms of economies of scale so to speak. A desperate single mother of three is getting $2,400. That is enough to help in the short term. It might be enough to bridge some people until things get a little better. I really feel for single people though. Politicians are always going on about families, but what about a single person who's rent is $1,000 a month? In a decent society we would be paying people a reasonable amount each month to stay home. If it wasn't obvious before, it is increasingly clear that America is only for the strong and the lucky. Good luck being those things your whole life. 🙃

I'm torn. Obviously $600 is [!@#$%^&*] for people who are months behind on rent. I guess it will help some of the families lined up at the food pantry and the people who will qualify for some extra unemployment. I'm glad that the people going hungry are getting something, but these heartless Republican bastards do not care anything for the poor and struggling at all. I despise every one of them.

What this situation has taught me is that we are very lucky that this virus doesn't have an even higher death rate. If it did we would really be screwed because people on a large scale lack sense and discipline of any kind. It's shocking and it's not all Trump. He didn't help, but he doesn't account for the people in other nations who are flouting the rules at every opportunity. On top of that you have the stories of rich nations hoarding the vaccine. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55229894 Some have purchased much more vaccine than their population needs. So I guess the plan is to let the virus rage among the poor and develop mutations, coming back in a form our vaccine doesn't protect against. Meanwhile, Angela Markle seems like the only real leader with sense, but is anyone with power listening to her? It doesn't seem like it.

This is so f*cked up, which is to say not surprising. There is nothing these people won't do including sabotaging their own country.

Happily, but I wonder what the plan will be? How do you imprison people (hoping Ivanka and some of the others go down as well) that have a ton of intelligence info. Do they just put them in solitary? Even then it seems like there is always going to be a security flaw (guards, warden). With any luck we'll find out shortly. So much of this feels like a day late and a dollar short, but ok, I guess.

People have real lost their minds over this. To call you a pedophile over ordering a food and a mask. Absolutely nuts. You are amazing for keeping your cool.

Still suppressing the vote.

🤣 Meanwhile, this is really awful.

The stupid is strong in these ones.

Wow. There is nothing these bastards won't do to hang on to power.

Sometimes I feel like January 20th is just a mirage and we are never going to get there. It's just going to be endless days of Trump doing 46 minute rants and Rudy Guiliani incompetently filing frivolous lawsuits.

Seriously. I can't even think of a single decent thing he did. There must be at least one, but I am at a loss. That whole family (except the children) is scum.

If his followers don't know by now that he's a con artist I can't feel sorry for them. This is really true. Language matters and we have some people in the party who are just so bullheaded some of these issues.

This headline makes me so happy. I know he's actually still conning his followers out of money, but still.

I hate him so much. He just has to stir things up on the way out. Even if it was an Israeli operation you just know he signed of on it.

Congrats! That is great news.

A little silly given how many men in Trump's cabinet were from Harvard and Yale. It just goes to show how little respect people like Rubio have for their target audience. They just assume people will swallow this kind of nonsense. Of course, too many of them do.

What the f^ck is wrong with people, I ask you? We are in life and death circumstances and you have people giving you grief over jalapenos.

This is a nightmare and no other country will stop it because China is too strong. Plus under Trump China was basically encouraged to keep up the good work.

🤣 I thought he was going to get it when I saw he was in that video face to face with Mark Meadows and no mask.
