"I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple," Trump said in a video posted to Twitter......

President Trump reads the list of items Congress put in the COVID "relief" bill. He is ticked. Says Americans and small businesses should be getting the $$$.

BREAKING REPORT: HIDDEN in the 5,893 page bill that @realDonaldTrump is anticipated to VETO is a provision that says: "Nullifies the President's use of the Insurrection Act." https://twitter.com/ChuckCallesto/status/1341519068596199425/photo/1

Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard borrowed a line from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying that the coronavirus stimulus package amounted to “crumbs” to those who needed help the most. “$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic. You deserve better,” Gabbard tweeted Monday. “I voted against the 5,593-page spending bill that gave billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex & other countries, leaving crumbs for you who need help most.”

I was wondering what the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act was, and why 1.4 billion was allocated in a bill supposedly to help Americans suffering under government initiated lockdowns. The text of the act is in the link. Its a Cory Gardner abortion. And if I didn't know better, it sure looks like the first step to reviving TPP.Enjoy your 600 dollars, peasants.

Congress passed the second COVID-19 relief package on Monday night as the vast majority of lawmakers voted in favor of a second round of stimulus checks, tax deductions and federal aid for schools and small businesses. But the House and Senate votes to whisk the 5,593-page bill through Congress were not unanimous. A few dissenters on both sides of the aisle took issue with elements of the $900 billion stimulus package, its overall size and the short amount of time that they had to sift through reams of proposals. The House of Representatives voted 359-53 on the bill, with two...

Congress is likely to pass the big COVID “relief” bill like the world’s second-largest kidney stone. My colleague Victoria Taft already highlighted some of the most egregious spending included in the bill, such as the horseracing regulations and the new cars for HIV/AIDS workers overseas. That one’s worth more than $193 million, begging the question of just how many restaurants, movie theaters, and other small businesses in these United States might have been helped with that money. A lot, I’d venture. Enjoy your $600, America. Don’t spend it all in one place! In addition to the $10 million for gender...

$900B COVID-19 Aid Bill Will Give Illegal Aliens $1,800 Checks While U.S. Citizens Get Only $600The bipartisan $900 billion coronavirus aid bill is just one giant F-you to American taxpayers."Family members of unauthorized immigrants are now eligible to get stimulus checks under the $900 billion deal reached last night," the Wall Street Journal's Michelle Hackman reported Monday. "That eligibility is retroactive, so adults excluded last time could get up to $1800 now."But wait...there's more! The Stimulus Bill:The gov't closes the economy. You lose your job. You face eviction.$600 for all your troubles. Meanwhile they send:$135 million to Burma$85.5 million to...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care about middle class Americans who are suffering because of authoritarian Covid lockdown orders. After months of stonewalling and playing politics, Pelosi finally agreed to a Covid relief bill that is expected to pass today. Congress FINALLY agreed to hand out a $600 dollar check to every American after they ruined the economy and millions of lives. The Covid stimulus bill is so big that it had to be wheeled across the halls of Congress Lawmakers aren’t even reading the bill before voting on nearly $1 trillion dollars of spending. Americans are only getting $600...
