My Trump Friend Is Blaming Biden For Relief Checks Being Held Up Even Though T****'s People

[DanieRains]

Who are embedded, and can't be easily removed are the ones causing the problems.

"When T**** was in charge the checks went out in one week" he said.

We lose elections because this FACT is not starting off the next 1,000 press conferences.

"Trump's appointees are in the way of you getting your stimulus check grandpa. They are hurting you to get you to blame Democrats when it is them causing the pain".

Not that hard of a statement.

1. Curious

I'm on disability. I received all three relief checks direct deposit. I file jointly with my husband, retired, and we were among the first wave each time.

Those who are not getting this round of relief--did you file taxes in 2018 or 2019? Are you a single filer? I'm trying to determine where the breakdown is--besides holdover trumpanzee loyalists.

6. Here's the most detailed description I've seen yet

Of course, it doesn't specifically name-check Trump-stooge Saul, who heads the SSA, for not providing the IRS with the requested info until 3/25, because, says Saul, the relief bill didn't include money for 'his' employees to do the work.

7. I am a widow who filed both years

But I mailed in my 2019 taxes and I think that’s the holdup. I just received a letter questioning $200 in income I declared. (Haha, lost $2000 in stimulus because I was honest about $200). But I think it will get straightened out. I already took the second stimulus $600 as a credit on my current taxes.

8. Haven't filed for 2020 yet

Although I've dropped the documents off with our accountant. My husband's pension comes from out of state. NC can't take taxes out of a California based pension. We owe the state every year, but pay it with the federal refund.

It can't be linked to 2020 tax filings, since the deadline isn't here yet (Federal only is moved out to May 17.)


Will read the other link.

31. People who are on SS who did not file in the past few yrs - are the ones who did not get their check

SS finally sent the info on these people to the IRS about 4 days ago.

[Claire Oh Nette]

32. Thanks!

Had to be some explanation.

Happy to have had to file taxes, I guess.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. Part of it has to do with income tax refunds; if they were direct deposited

the checks go out faster.

The weird part was that they did not get the info on SS checks direct deposited, just income tax

There was a spot to send in your bank's routing number & your account # for direct deposit on IRS.gov, so I did that and the following checks were direct deposited

[arlyellowdog]

2. A lot didn't get the second under Trump

I didn’t and have not received the 3rd. Having said that, I think the Administration needs to prioritize strengthening out the stimulus check mess to show efficiency.

3. I am not hearing that

at all in my circle. Happy people I see. Vaccinated and thankful mostly.

4. Aren't Those Stim Payments "Socialism"?

Why would he want that "socialist" money?

[whopis01]

11. No - payments going to other people are socialism

A payment going to him is the money the gubmint should have never taken from him in taxes.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Well, That's Damned Convenient!

Also, as intellectually lazy as a shovel.

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. Socialism only applies to minorities, the working poor, college students, and immigrants.

White people, farmers, businesses, the wealthy, and "me" don't get socialism.

They also like those socialist roads, fire departments, police, jails, prisons, military, and everything else government provides.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. I'd Specifically Call Him A Socialist...

...until he proved he returned the money.
Doesn't matter that it's not.
I'm all for taking a lesson from Luntz. Just keep using the words until they become weaponized. Just like they do.

[AZLD4Candidate]

29. That's how I am running my campaign. Use their tactics and words against my opponent Joel John

and control the language and the narrative.

I bet you my opponent never read Sun Tzu's The Art of War. I have it memorized.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. That's Great!

Good luck in your campaign.

[barbtries]

5. did you say that to your friend,

and did she listen? Because in my experience they don't.

[gratuitous]

9. Tell him it's personal

Before he gets his socialist check, President Biden is going to need him to do something for the administration first. He'll understand the transactional nature, won't he? It's how his hero conducted the affairs of government. Anyone who treated Needy Amin unfairly (as defined solely in his moldy bag of cats brain) didn't get any consideration.

[Bristlecone]

10. Are these the checks that every republican voted against?

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Um no, Trump failed because non-filers and low income people still don't have STIM #2

They had to claim it on their tax returns.

[ancianita]

13. I tell the blamers two names: Andrew Saul and David Black, then to look them up and shut up.

[aquamarina]

14. Maybe remind your pal that if not for Biden there would be no check at all.

[Tanuki]

15. +1000

[GoneOffShore]

16. We got ours via direct deposit on 24 March.

[SergeStorms]

17. I'm sure that was intentional as well.

Hey, why not stick it to "Sleepy Joe" one more time for the biggest loser in the United States! Anything his remaining sycophants can do to make that asshole look good, you know?

[doc03]

19. I got mine like 4 days after it was signed. It took

three months to get my first check last year. Just tell them Biden put all saditionists to the end of the line.

[meadowlander]

21. He can complain when I get my first two checks.

[tiredtoo]

23. Personally my response to the other guys supporters is

Well, surely you will be sending it back based on your hatred of socialism.

[BarbD]

24. Somebody is screwing something.

Received the two Economic Impact Payments (EIP 1 and 2) very quickly. This time when I try to find out where my payment is, the website says it doesn't have information.

So last Friday I contacted Jim Himes (D). As of today -- same message from IRS of insufficient info.

Note: Haven't filed income tax in several years -- not enough income. It's rather annoying. This delay is deliberate.

I did get a letter from the IRS dated March 12, 2021 requesting me to verify that I received the EIP2 Payment. It was deposited directly January 4, 2021.

[Rebl2]

25. The first

Check we got right away by direct deposit. The second took weeks and was an actual check. Something to do with error with TurboTax. This last one took about 3-4 weeks and this time was direct deposited just a week ago.

[OMGWTF]

26. Why the hell are you still friends with a MAGAt?

I understand people voting for Trump the first time, but after everything he’s done to still support this malignant misanthrope tells me that they have no brains or character.

[rockfordfile]

27. He shouldn't get one then.

[DFW]

28. If he likes Trump, he should be happy he's not getting his budget-busting check at all

He should thank the mailman every day he delivers the mail, and there no check in it. It's just what his Republican friends voted for, after all. I don't understand why he's complaining instead of celebrating.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. A lot of them wouldn't believe that

unless it came right from T****'s sphincter-like mouth. And, even then, some STILL wouldn't believe it.
