So the needs of the American people are less important than the election. SO, if the stimulus does not buy votes, then it's not worth doing.
Did I read that right?
Is that why lawmakers are taking an August recess without having ironed out a stimulus bill? Is that why REPUBLICAN lawmakers can't agree to implement a stimulus bill?
At this point, nobody would care if Trump signed the damned thing. The American people are financially struggling and need help. Stimulus checks, extended unemployment.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????

Can't let people have help because we won't roll over and accept less than what we have once we get a little more. Austerity is a weapon in the hands of rich and republican alike.
They've been giving less and less to us for decades and taking away benifiets even as worker productivity shot to all time highs.they kept us over a barrel on purpose.
For cheap labors sake
The rich deserve to lose everything.
They broke the social contract.

(9,999 posts)Biden will face a massive job in trying to fix all the mess that Trump created. If Repubs retain control of the Senate, they will block every attempt to undo this damage and then blame the Democrats if things don't turn around. Then, they will fix their sights on winning the Presidency back in 2024. Meanwhile, they don't care about the poor and the working class because these people are not their donors or their base. McConnell is as evil as Trump, but for different reasons.

Every government department has to be gone through with a fine tooth comb to get rid of the trumpists. While putting legislation in place that can't be undone by an executive order.

My greatest fear is that the past four/five years will be a *Trump Anomaly*.
It was there all along.
Started in the 60's.
We've seen the TRUE face of the GOP. It was there all along.
I'm 47.
For the rest of my life it's the Trump Party.
I want him hung around their necks for the next 40 years, a truth and reconciliation commission, and identification of enablers.

At the top of the social heirarchy, they then go and promote ideas that popularize sociopathic thinking, like greed, selfishness, toxic masculine behavior, winning at all costs, etc... till it becomes part of the culture in this country.
