Honestly, I think that Joe should up the amount to $5,000 per no matter who/what, and pass it using his method that excludes obstructive Repubs. Then we could say, well, you had your chance to give them only $1,400. Too bad!"

The 1% got theirs. Let people with homes and kids to feed get a little, too. Take it from the foreign aid we hand out like candy, and help our own people this year. $5,000 per is nothing.

I am itching to "get even" with those obstructive Repub assholes who are trying to distract us from Trump's trial. New guys are on the line, now, and it's time to let them know.
