    I don’t know how much I can trust a guy that raised over $100 million and still lost by double digits to Lindsey Graham.

    Late to the discussion but I'm shocked that anyone thought Biden was giving us $2000 checks, it's always been explained as an additional $1400. Multiple times in this thread, even. That person tweeting is disingenuous as fuck haha. But yeah, more money would be sweet

    If they are grifting over $3,000 bucks that really makes you wonder what the big dollar amount swindles are. ($3,000 bucks is still lot of money, want to make that point clear too.)

    It should be $2000, retroactive, and until we have 70% vaccinated. They have 0 excuse

    Just celebrating our confederate heritage!

    I internet stalked him and if the general area google says he lives in is in fact where he lives, then yeah. Explains a lot. Laurel Delaware.

    We played a playoff game there once and it was like driving into some small town in texas. WHole town was out tailgating for the game, we got off the bus and some old dude with a thick accent was like "You boys are gonna lose tonight!".

    Yyyep.

    This is the most cowardly bullshit. They’re going to give us 1400 more dollars and not do anything else for two years

    They let 4000 people die a day for weeks already and the only organized resistance from the Government was to keep the guy responsible for that death toll in power.

    They can do whatever they want and the people will roll over.

    The amount he raised is probably the main reason he might be getting the job.

    How quickly do we expect Biden's plan to pass? I feel like all the Republicans who supported the 2k will back out for everything else that's in the bill and then we just need to worry about Joe Manchin.

    This is the money quote:

    “The Obamas did not use the garage, so the extra traffic to and from the command post caused no problem. Yet this solution, too, was short-lived after a Secret Service supervisor from the Trump/Kushner detail left an unpleasant mess in the Obama bathroom at some point before the fall of 2017, according to a person briefed on the event. That prompted the leaders of the Obama detail to ban the agents up the street from ever returning.”
     
  19. The messaging has been "send the people $2k checks" for a couple of months now.

    I don't see why Biden/the Dems can't issue a bunch of money, with the reasoning being "This is what the Trump administration should have been doing, but didn't and watched people die because they had to go back to work."

    Then again, I'm not in politics and there's probably a reason why.

    It wouldn't pass the senate due to conservative dems

    Yeah not sure where anyone got the idea it was $2000 total. They’ve been pushing another $2000 check specifically for a minute

    Yeah and we didn't have the $600 sent out a couple months ago when that slogan first existed :shrug:

    Biden saying "$600 isn't enough, we need $2000 checks" translates to "we need $2000 in place of $600" to me, idk

  24. We've known this exact answer for weeks and it's been pointed out multiple times in this very thread. Heh.
