There are rumors it will hold up the printing/delivery of the checks. Someone when the Dems. wanted things put it the bill you got all upset that it held things us (even though the Repubs did the same thing).

Now it is "no big deal"

People are already getting them. I would have told Trump to do this. He deserves credit for it. You're nervous that people will respond favorably to him, once again, putting money in their pocket. You're right to be nervous about that.

"when the Dems. wanted things put it the bill '

What things exactly, did they want to include? DO you know? Or did you not bother to read that crap, either? I did not get upset that it held things up. I got upset that they used this crisis as an attempt to ram through a Marxist wishlist that could never otherwise get approved, and which had absolutely nothing to do with economic relief. My disdain had zilch to do with holding it up, because even if the checks went out that day, I would have called it out for what it was.

Nice try. Swing and a miss.

I read some of the things the Dems. wanted in and some of the things the Repubs wanted in. Same thing that happens on every big bill where they both try to put things in that have nothing to do wit the bill. You're a partisan hack.

I hit that one out of the park - time to bring in a relief pitcher bc you just got rocked hard. I bet you never played organized baseball in your life past little league.

'You're a partisan hack."

Who happens to be pro gay marriage, opposed to the death penalty, in favor of more gun control.

You're humiliating yourself.

"I bet you never played organized baseball in your life past little league"

Hilariously wrong again, actually (I was a catcher and learned a lot about the game, now I'm an actuary who builds predictive models, so I can build models to help me put together fantasy league teams like you can't believe, it's a part-time job, I make an absolute killing). You're really on a roll. What's the record for the most rakes one person has ever stepped on in one day, I wonder?

Why not take a video of you hitting yourself in the face with pies? That would be less demeaning and humiliating than these posts today.

You're humiliating yourself. If you think so but your the partisan hack who has so much anger that they don't recognize that both parties tried putting things in the bill that had nothing to do w/the bill.

could care less that you are an actuary.

You should be humiliated that you have been caught constantly lying in the other thread. I've pointed it out what 6 -7 times at this point.

It's a vain move, no doubt, but he was a big force behind getting this relief bill put together. It's not unfair that people associate him with that money.

Who is getting checks anyway, aren't most people getting direct deposit?

He's done things a lot worse than this. This isn't much. A little bit of spiking the football, but he was a big force behind it.

People who didn't have to file taxes last year will get checks and those who paid by check.

The IRS said that if they have an account # for you on file, it's going there electronically.

"Actually he didn't - the final talks were conducted by McConnell, Schumer, Mnuchin and a little by Mark Meadows"

And very early on, Trump was championing the idea of checks to people.
