Only 9% of the "covid relief bill" has anything to do with covid.

That's a super sensationalized article that quotes FOX and TWJ but doesn't link to the actual bill.
What special interest groups? Just 'the swamp'?
Can't really take anything Republicans say seriously after Trump.

Translation: You want to bury your head in the sand because "rah, rah, my team!" Right?
Anyway as for the exact composition of the bill there have been numerous articles written about it. Some of the spending, like the aid to small businesses or the direct $1400 payments to some but not all people, I can justify. The vast majority of it seems to be "aid to states" which is just bailouts for bad policies which existed prior to covid as well as endless specific named giveaways to various Democrat interest groups none of which should ever get public money.

Numerous articles
But the bill hasn't been made public.
Every article is basking it off statements congress has made.
Every article right now is bullshit team politics and you have fallen for it. "The Swamp" doesn't really mean anything. Again I will ask, WHICH 'special interest groups' are the Democrats giving money to? Where is your evidence beyond articles? All I care about is legislation hosted on a .gov site. If you don't have that, then you don't have any meat to bite into with your argument.
You should spend more effort looking into your sources before forming an opinion about something. As I said before, pork is to be expected in US politics. Both teams do it. They did it with the last stimulus bills. Anyone who didn't expect it to happen this time is foolish. Democrats are not 'my team'. My only team is the truth and well, your article isn't it.

I will give you that the final language has not been finalized. Several drafts have been proposed and none have looked any good so far. Especially given that the government still has $1 trillion from the last stimulus which it hasn't bothered to spend yet.

The house passed one. It'll probably be passing the senate and get signed by Biden soon.
Not sure where you heard about 1 trillion.
Trump fired the person who was supposed to be reporting stimulus spending to the public (which was a stipulation of the CARES act) so we don't really know where the money went. When Obama passed his stimulus they had a website you could go to and see. Not sure how this one will go as far as reporting goes.

Details on the $1 trillion from the first two rounds of stimulus which are still sitting in the bank unspent. Some of it has been sitting for a year now. Yet dems claim there is an urgent need for almost $2 trillion more.
If it is so urgent why are they stilling sitting on $1 trillion which congress has already authorized?

In other News, in 2015 Trump said ON live TV that if he decides to run for President he would be more than happy to show us his tax returns.

You wouldn't look so ridiculous, if you did just some cursory research.

There's a saying about liars that's like "If his lips are moving he's lying"
I don't think I've ever heard of anybody that is more true for than Donald Trump. Most politicians just lie by omission or obfuscation but he was clearly totally inept at doing that because he thinks all his crazy conspiracy theories are right.
He has signaled to QAnon in his speeches (the whole tippy top thing) and caused a failed insurrection at the capitol. I don't know what more people need to see to understand that he's a vile piece of shit. I would've rather had Nixon, or Reagan, or George Bush, or literally anybody else be president. We would have done better flipping a quarter.

Why do you always lie and try to claim people have positions which they have never had. I didn't even vote for Trump, you stupid fuck, I have voted 3rd party in every presidential election since 2012. If you do not know what someone's position is then why not ask instead of being a dumb ass and assuming?

Well you're certainly checking your facts about as well as Trump.
Nothing you've said in here holds any value. Republicans have Q supporters in congress. I don't take anything any of them say seriously. Cite the legislature or quite making up bullshit.

Not about the bill but Biden says that the number of deaths from Covid is now 500,000 people. He says that's more than the number of people who died in WWI, WWII and the Civil War combined.
75 million people died in WWII alone.
407,316 Americans.
117,000 Americans died in WWI.
He's wrong already.
This is constant for him.

Ok, Champ, please tell me one thing I have said in this thread which is untrue? I am going to go out on a limb and guess you are going to complain about what the source I listed said rather than anything I actually said. That would be typical.

Hey did you guys know that "The Patriot Act" doesn't really have very much to do with Patriotism?
