Hes thinking about himself and how it work to help with his slumping poll numbers! Pathetic! I get that people can use the money, but it also means more letters sent out signed by Tritteler Trump!

(8,419 posts)Fire sale prices on many things including real estate. And I hate tRump, but I don't understand NO!
The shit is getting ready to hit the fan, if people don't get another round we could be looking at a situation that makes the Great Depression the second worst economic event in our history.
So, do I want tRump to lose, hell yes. Do I want millions going through something worse than the Great Depression, HELL NO.

(8,419 posts)And I am going to be straight out fucking blunt.
Your hate of tRump is clouding your thought process.
Millions will suffer, for no god damn good reason. Anyone still too ignorant that will vote for tRump is a lost cause.
Your hate is exactly the isame ignorance that allowed them to hate all things Obama.
Their hate for Obama made them justify a vote for tRump.
Come on, we are better than this.

(35,328 posts)the Republicans did to help the people then. The Republicans got together and agreed to not let Obama get
anything. McConnell said his goal was to make Obama a one term president. Rush Limbaugh said we have to make
sure Obama fails, screw the country. I think if Trump is re-elected we will no longer have a country. It has to be job number one to get him out of office. The man is nothing but a traitor he has to go. If it would only go to people that need it but $1.5 billion went to dead people, money intended to help small business ended up in the pockets of the biggest corporations in the world. I got $1200 I didn't need and I know many others that got it to and didn't need it. How many trillion to get Trump re-elected is enough?

And if this Country is ignorant enough to reelect tRump then this Country is too ignorant to survive.
I don't fucking care how big of assholes they are, the only way we come out of this is to lead and not be them.
And this from a person who would have no issue taking out any person for being a Republican.

(4,845 posts)I hate to give Trump any wins but if people need the stimulus, then I am all for it. But I will refuse to call it the Trump check like the first one. It's our money that we are giving out, not Trump's.

(16,844 posts)They could definitely use it. Some are about to get evicted and their unemployment is running out. Trump is doing this for selfish reasons, but what's important is keeping people housed and fed. We'll see who they give credit for the stimulus.

(16,167 posts)but when the funds do run out, and they will, there is going to be a country full of people that have done everything they were supposed to do and now they and their families are homeless and hungry.
We're 6 months into this pandemic and I've yet to hear any solid plans about what to do to help the American people and it seems that mitchthebitch and donthecon only want to get re elected. They have no plan about how to get us there, they have no plan on how to re start the economy,(bar and restuarant owners can't do it on their own), FFS, they are running out of money and are bone thin on cash flow as I type this.
This is what has to be shown on teevee. The lack of support for the middle and working class is mind boggling. A $600.00 a month stipend is not going to go very far.

(16,844 posts)reach the other side of this thing. They're totally winging it, hoping it goes away or hoping we have a vaccine soon. I believe they're working on getting things together for the fortunate and are going to leave the rest of us hanging. I hope I'm wrong, but they aren't acting like they have skin in the game. Hollow assurances are all I hear from them.

I'll take anything, from anybody, at this point, it's not going to change my absolutely certain knowledge of what a fucked up creep trump is.

(3,266 posts)recover any lost voters. $1200 is barely enough to make more than one months difference in most peoples lives, and it will never trump (pun intended) the pain and sorrow of lives lost due to mishandling of the pandemic, a tanking economy, gassing peaceful protestors for a phony church-y photo-op, or this soldiers bounty scandal. Hes sorely mistaken if he believes another stimulus check will get him re-elected.
That being said, I sure AF can use one more stimulus check to keep my little bizness afloat, so I hope it happens.

(11,686 posts)I am not so much worried about myself but there are others whose lives are falling apart that need help. 1,200 just was not enough for a lot of people. The area I live in that is about the cost of one month rent. It was a band aid and not a very good one for a lot of people.

(11,949 posts)If McTurtle sticks to his guns and does not extend it August and September will put us in a depression.
Thats the only, and I mean only thing keeping the economy alive right now.
Politically it should be a no brainer. But they are horrified that the poor are feeling what it feels like to be middle class. Cant have them seeing what it feels like.
If they dont extend it Biden will win in the biggest blowout we have ever seen.

(5,042 posts)He claims to be a conservative and rails about "losers who usually work at Wendy's getting more unemployment than they make!".
Last week he asks me if "We're going to get another 1200 dollars".
Mind you, we haven't lost any hours or pay due to the virus.
He acts like Trump is personally giving out money all of his own decision.

(13,569 posts)On June 4, an envelope came that I THOUGHT contained one of those letters with a replica of a check signed by Trump. Agghh!! I set it aside, planning to throw it away. Funny, I thought, he made those look just like a check from the US Treasury.
June 4.
Yesterday, June 30, I was throwing away mail and decided to open this one. Good lord! A real check inside for $115 as a refund for overpayment of student loan.
I almost tossed $115.
