They are all crooks -- Reps and Dems -- and nothing will change until voters wise up and start voting for third party candidates.

“High-income business owners have had tax benefits and unprecedented government grants showered down upon then. And the scale is massive,” wrote Adam Looney, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former Treasury Department tax official in the Obama administration, who estimated that $120 billion of the $200 billion would flow to the top 1% of Americans.
The new provision allows for a classic double dip into the Paycheck Protection Program, as businesses get free money from the government, then get to deduct that largess from their taxes.

And it is one of hundreds included in a huge spending package and a coronavirus stimulus bill that is supposed to help businesses and families struggling during the pandemic but, critics say, swerved far afield. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night blasted it as a disgrace and demanded revisions.

“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it,” he said in a video posted on Twitter that stopped just short of a veto threat.
The measure includes serious policy changes beyond the much-needed $900 billion in coronavirus relief, such as a simplification of federal financial aid forms, measures to address climate change and a provision to stop “surprise billing” from hospitals when patients unwittingly receive care from physicians out of their insurance networks.
But there is also much grumbling over other provisions that lawmakers had not fully reviewed, and a process that left most of them and the public in the dark until after the bill was passed. The anger was bipartisan.

“Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5,000 pages, arrived at 2 p.m. today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in two hours,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wrote on Twitter on Monday. “This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, agreed — the two do not agree on much.

“It’s ABSURD to have a $2.5 trillion spending bill negotiated in secret and then — hours later — demand an up-or-down vote on a bill nobody has had time to read,” he wrote on Twitter on Monday.

The items jammed into the bill are varied and at times bewildering. The bill would make it a felony to offer illegal streaming services. One provision requires the CIA to report back to Congress on the activities of Eastern European oligarchs tied to President Vladimir Putin of Russia. The federal government would be required to set up a program aimed at eradicating the murder hornet and to crack down on online sales of e-cigarettes to minors.

It authorizes 93 acres of federal lands to be used for the construction of the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota and creates an independent commission to oversee horse racing, a priority of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the majority leader.

McConnell inserted that item to get around the objections of a Democratic senator, who wanted it amended, but he received agreement from other congressional leaders.

Alexander M. Waldrop, CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, said Tuesday that McConnell had “said many times he feared for the future of horse racing and the impact on the industry, which of course is critical to Kentucky.”

ha e been ordered closed by Democrat politicians even as the giant corporations were allowed to stay open.


And how the plot thickens.

I'd love for one of these liberal dupes to explain to me exactly how it makes any common sense for billionaires to support a presidential candidate who claims he's bent on going after billionaires.

Isn't that just a little counter intuitive?


And while they're at it, explain how these billionaires presided over giant enterprises that did better during the econmomic collapse brought on by COVID than in any single quarter prior?

The only time I've ever said Bravo to AOC

but Trump was the first to express disgust with this pork laden bill so why all the leftist hate?

Oh, that's right, cause they're disingenuous dupes, thats why

as for this $600... for $0.20 per day, you can sponsor an American

wake me when they want to hand me $18,000 like they did every jackass who thought being a server was a career and collected unemployment, attended multiple house parties, ended up infecting the elderly in their family and are going to be a total drain on the economy next year

they rank right up there with the tards refusing to wear masks who go around licking door knobs and toilet seats

Wow.... you're seriously unhinged... I thought it was just a troll or act....

they rank right up there with the tards refusing to wear masks who go around licking door knobs and toilet seats

So you think everyone who collected unemployment is guilty of that behavior? Wow.

Consider this: every small business applied and qualified for the paycheck protection loan. They are required to keep approx 90% of their employees on the clock for x amount of months.

Who do you know who actually lost their job? Who wasn’t able to work remotely? Cause I don’t know anyone out of work right now who isn’t a server... and these servers are my friends and I’ve told them for years to find careers. It’s a dime a dozen job that anyone can do.

As soon as the restaurants were forced to shutdown, all of the servers were let go. I know this because I’m friends with numerous small business owners in this area who had to do this to their employees. That was the biggest hit to the unemployment situation.

Most of the people I know or work with were or had a spouse on furlough or standby. I am only aware of 1 person who lost their job after 15 years, but they had well-known issues with the changeover in management that occurred less than 2 months before that.... so....

The pretty gay boys have been living it up on UE benefits running back and forth to Vegas on that stimulus since last summer. Trust me when I say their money has gone to alcohol, drugs and Jordan’s.

They can chop firewood, mow lawns, or do whatever they need to in order to pull a paycheck... they're not sacred cows and IDGAF...

why would they need to do all of that when their earnings increased by $18,000 in 2020 ($600 stimulus for x amount of weeks ~ the last time I calculated it was $18,000) ?

my point is and remains that the stimulus should have been given to people in the workforce who would pump that money into the economy 3x+ over

But instead let’s give it to a bunch of people unqualified to remain in the workforce so they can fuck around. Pfffft

In any company the human garbage is the first to go.

I agree. Wastetoids like the sissyboi drug addict leader of the tranny farm should have been allowed to starve in the street rather than be given a stipend that turned out to be double what he was making to be a common fucking pleb in the AMerican workforce

Bums will be bums and thus, everything that is wrong with socialism

You think leeches like apeurine, jake the face hole, lotusnuts, sewage major and Doc Cockaday have jobs? Real jobs?

Plueeze

They wouldn't be supporting these shit policies if they had to stare at a W2 that showed over 50K in taxes stolen per year. I'd guarantee that

we are a nation of haters who coddle and enable the weak

LibiCons is still a good name for why we will not see strong running third party candidates in our kleptocracy. I got to laugh - I see a couple of three jokers here claiming to be non-partisan, avant garde types, but then dig a little and they are Trump supporters, and who is more representative of the very problems they rage against than Trump?

The weak who do nothing but cry, complain and undermine America because they believe they are entitled to a free ride merely for fact that they are capable of processing oxygen like the rest of us.

Fuck them

Anyone on disability, retirement or ANY form of full government assistance should lose the ability to vote as they are now unproductive societal leeches.

Well, Trump just vetoed the military funding bill. It seems obvious he's just having tantrums again. I predict Congress just over rides the veto and ignores him.

Right. Because if you voted for Trump that's definitely partisan. Even though Trump is farther left than Biden.

Since you have all the perfect answers and solutions, maybe instead of just insulting us stupid peasants, you could offer up your superior stance and enlighten us all.

But instead let’s give it to a bunch of people unqualified to remain in the workforce so they can fuck around. Pfffft


MY POINT is, I don't care....

Learn to adapt and find a way to keep the lights on and feed your family.

I will survive the zombie apocalypse quite comfortably.

Right. Because if you voted for Trump that's definitely partisan. Even though Trump is farther left than Biden.

Since you have all the perfect answers and solutions, maybe instead of just insulting us stupid peasants, you could offer up your superior stance and enlighten us all.


Yeah right, like that bumbling idiot has anything by way of intelligent discourse to furnish :LMAO2:

as for this $600... for $0.20 per day, you can sponsor an American

wake me when they want to hand me $18,000 like they did every jackass who thought being a server was a career and collected unemployment, attended multiple house parties, ended up infecting the elderly in their family and are going to be a total drain on the economy next year

they rank right up there with the tards refusing to wear masks who go around licking door knobs and toilet seats

Wow.... you're seriously unhinged... I thought it was just a troll or act....

So you think everyone who collected unemployment is guilty of that behavior? Wow.

Consider this: every small business applied and qualified for the paycheck protection loan. They are required to keep approx 90% of their employees on the clock for x amount of months.

Who do you know who actually lost their job? Who wasn’t able to work remotely? Cause I don’t know anyone out of work right now who isn’t a server... and these servers are my friends and I’ve told them for years to find careers. It’s a dime a dozen job that anyone can do.

As soon as the restaurants were forced to shutdown, all of the servers were let go. I know this because I’m friends with numerous small business owners in this area who had to do this to their employees. That was the biggest hit to the unemployment situation.

Most of the people I know or work with were or had a spouse on furlough or standby. I am only aware of 1 person who lost their job after 15 years, but they had well-known issues with the changeover in management that occurred less than 2 months before that.... so....

The pretty gay boys have been living it up on UE benefits running back and forth to Vegas on that stimulus since last summer. Trust me when I say their money has gone to alcohol, drugs and Jordan’s.


Bums will be bums and thus, everything that is wrong with socialism

You think leeches like apeurine, jake the face hole, lotusnuts, sewage major and Doc Cockaday have jobs? Real jobs?

Plueeze

They wouldn't be supporting these shit policies if they had to stare at a W2 that showed over 50K in taxes stolen per year. I'd guarantee that

we are a nation of haters who coddle and enable the weak
The weak who do nothing but cry, complain and undermine America because they believe they are entitled to a free ride merely for fact that they are capable of processing oxygen like the rest of us.

Fuck them

Anyone on disability, retirement or ANY form of full government assistance should lose the ability to vote as they are now unproductive societal leeches.

Its kind of unethical for politicains to use benefits to influence the votes of those who receive them.

It's really the only reason the inner city poor vote for democrats.

kind of? It's an absolute conflict of interest.

And these liberal shit rags want to cry about emoluments clause when an active duty member of the military buys a stick of gum at a Trump hotel? Plueeeze... these clowns are so fucking slimey you could slide them over patch of sandpaper and produce ZERO friction in the process.

They are all crooks -- Reps and Dems -- and nothing will change until voters wise up and start voting for third party candidates.

“High-income business owners have had tax benefits and unprecedented government grants showered down upon then. And the scale is massive,” wrote Adam Looney, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former Treasury Department tax official in the Obama administration, who estimated that $120 billion of the $200 billion would flow to the top 1% of Americans.
The new provision allows for a classic double dip into the Paycheck Protection Program, as businesses get free money from the government, then get to deduct that largess from their taxes.

And it is one of hundreds included in a huge spending package and a coronavirus stimulus bill that is supposed to help businesses and families struggling during the pandemic but, critics say, swerved far afield. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night blasted it as a disgrace and demanded revisions.

“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it,” he said in a video posted on Twitter that stopped just short of a veto threat.
The measure includes serious policy changes beyond the much-needed $900 billion in coronavirus relief, such as a simplification of federal financial aid forms, measures to address climate change and a provision to stop “surprise billing” from hospitals when patients unwittingly receive care from physicians out of their insurance networks.
But there is also much grumbling over other provisions that lawmakers had not fully reviewed, and a process that left most of them and the public in the dark until after the bill was passed. The anger was bipartisan.

“Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5,000 pages, arrived at 2 p.m. today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in two hours,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wrote on Twitter on Monday. “This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, agreed — the two do not agree on much.

“It’s ABSURD to have a $2.5 trillion spending bill negotiated in secret and then — hours later — demand an up-or-down vote on a bill nobody has had time to read,” he wrote on Twitter on Monday.

The items jammed into the bill are varied and at times bewildering. The bill would make it a felony to offer illegal streaming services. One provision requires the CIA to report back to Congress on the activities of Eastern European oligarchs tied to President Vladimir Putin of Russia. The federal government would be required to set up a program aimed at eradicating the murder hornet and to crack down on online sales of e-cigarettes to minors.

It authorizes 93 acres of federal lands to be used for the construction of the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota and creates an independent commission to oversee horse racing, a priority of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the majority leader.

McConnell inserted that item to get around the objections of a Democratic senator, who wanted it amended, but he received agreement from other congressional leaders.

Alexander M. Waldrop, CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, said Tuesday that McConnell had “said many times he feared for the future of horse racing and the impact on the industry, which of course is critical to Kentucky.”

LibiCons is still a good name for why we will not see strong running third party candidates in our kleptocracy. I got to laugh - I see a couple of three jokers here claiming to be non-partisan, avant garde types, but then dig a little and they are Trump supporters, and who is more representative of the very problems they rage against than Trump?

Even though Trump is farther left than Biden.
You see, it's comments like that that stop me from ever taking you seriously, Duhv.
I mean, you may have a little talent as a troll, but as you know I despise trolls as much as I do conservatives.

And minutes after Trump's veto of the defense bill both the house and the Senate announced they will over ride the veto.

In any company the human garbage is the first to go.

I agree. Wastetoids like the sissyboi drug addict leader of the tranny farm should have been allowed to starve in the street rather than be given a stipend that turned out to be double what he was making to be a common fucking pleb in the AMerican workforce

I'm worried about the hundreds of small business in my state that are now closed forever and what will happen to those business owners. And those whose jobs were not considered essential.

The government took their money, now the government needs to return it.

Taxation is theft and these fucktards screw over the people when rubber meets road.

I'll tell you what will happen to those business owners.

You'll see them greeting patrons at Walmart with as much of a smile as several hundred milligrams of xanax can muster and a demeanor that screams of a broken spirit and a soul which has been forcefully ripped from the body in the most violent a means as possible.

That's if they make it past the suicidal stage of this travesty

but meanwhile, worthless & unemployable shit bags who contribute nothing to our economy will still be posting up a storm about how disgusting America is while direct deposit of someone else's money keeps them performing the only function considered productive to life on earth. The conversion of O2 to CO2

nice

I actually misread that. So I'll apologize for the misreading which I thought was Bernie.
Nonetheless, while I don't expect great things from a conservative sort like Biden the one hope I have is that he may be in the middle enough at this time to ease some of the hyperpartisanship.
Trump will never do that. He'll sow as much division as possible, have people at each other's throats, blaming each other for all of the ills, keep them distracted so they will not notice who the real enemy of the people is (not the media) - power and money hungry conservatives. Gross materialist.
Maybe Trump can fool a bunch of ignorant Evangelicals by posing holding a bible upside down and waving it around, but he won't fool us all - 80+ million were not fooled, Bigly.

More like 60 million give or take with 20 million being a wide variety of dead people, domesticated pets, comic book characters and of course, Illegal aliens who needed to only have a name and an address to receive a fraudulent --- I mean -- mail in ballot.

“High-income business owners have had tax benefits and unprecedented government grants showered down upon then. And the scale is massive,” wrote Adam Looney, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former Treasury Department tax official in the Obama administration, who estimated that $120 billion of the $200 billion would flow to the top 1% of Americans.
The new provision allows for a classic double dip into the Paycheck Protection Program, as businesses get free money from the government, then get to deduct that largess from their taxes.

And it is one of hundreds included in a huge spending package and a coronavirus stimulus bill that is supposed to help businesses and families struggling during the pandemic but, critics say, swerved far afield. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night blasted it as a disgrace and demanded revisions.

“Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it,” he said in a video posted on Twitter that stopped just short of a veto threat.
The measure includes serious policy changes beyond the much-needed $900 billion in coronavirus relief, such as a simplification of federal financial aid forms, measures to address climate change and a provision to stop “surprise billing” from hospitals when patients unwittingly receive care from physicians out of their insurance networks.
But there is also much grumbling over other provisions that lawmakers had not fully reviewed, and a process that left most of them and the public in the dark until after the bill was passed. The anger was bipartisan.

“Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5,000 pages, arrived at 2 p.m. today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in two hours,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wrote on Twitter on Monday. “This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, agreed — the two do not agree on much.

“It’s ABSURD to have a $2.5 trillion spending bill negotiated in secret and then — hours later — demand an up-or-down vote on a bill nobody has had time to read,” he wrote on Twitter on Monday.

The items jammed into the bill are varied and at times bewildering. The bill would make it a felony to offer illegal streaming services. One provision requires the CIA to report back to Congress on the activities of Eastern European oligarchs tied to President Vladimir Putin of Russia. The federal government would be required to set up a program aimed at eradicating the murder hornet and to crack down on online sales of e-cigarettes to minors.

It authorizes 93 acres of federal lands to be used for the construction of the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota and creates an independent commission to oversee horse racing, a priority of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the majority leader.

McConnell inserted that item to get around the objections of a Democratic senator, who wanted it amended, but he received agreement from other congressional leaders.

Alexander M. Waldrop, CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, said Tuesday that McConnell had “said many times he feared for the future of horse racing and the impact on the industry, which of course is critical to Kentucky.”

LibiCons is still a good name for why we will not see strong running third party candidates in our kleptocracy. I got to laugh - I see a couple of three jokers here claiming to be non-partisan, avant garde types, but then dig a little and they are Trump supporters, and who is more representative of the very problems they rage against than Trump?

Even though Trump is farther left than Biden.
You see, it's comments like that that stop me from ever taking you seriously, Duhv.
I mean, you may have a little talent as a troll, but as you know I despise trolls as much as I do conservatives.

All you have to do is look at what they have done and supported.

The biggest example is Criminal justice. Trump passed First Step reform.....and undid the damage done by Bidens merciless crime bill that caused the racail disparities in criminal justice that people have been yelling about.

Its likewise difficult to take someone seriously when you've decided, by the power of your own bias blindness, that simply supporting Trump is "partisan". That you cannot be bipartisan at all if you voted for Trump.

That really is far more dumb, close minded and more mainstream narrative parroting than it is some superior intellectual opinion.

The irony is the fact that saying that at all is a partisan statement. You are just judging people according to your biases and acting like it's a fact.

The Platinum Plan was more left than ANYTHING(which is nothing) than these democrats have ever done. And you didnt even know about that until I showed it to you. As result of me showing it to you, you felt the need to call me a "disgusting pig" and now this "Duh V" bullshit intended to degrade my intelligence. Oh and then there is this stimulus fuckery where its Trump who wanted more assistance to the people.

So I certainly hope you are not gonna try to sell yourself as some open minded bipartisan prophet of all things wise and enlightened.

Some how there was half a billion dollars in the deal for Israel. I’m wondering why? There are so many flaws in this bill that makes it fucked up. We can bitch all we want about Nancy and Mitch. I’d like to know what the leadership is gonna do, other than hide.

Again, he tried to get stimulus and enhanced unemployment to us months ago.

If he stomps on this, I certainly hope you get past your feelings about him personally and support that. Because we deserve better.

Dovey he’s a big fat angry moron. Lots of folks needed the money. As per usual his anger, resentment and revenge just fucked over the public. I don’t need it, and never have expectations when it comes to Trump.
