The lame duck signed the Bill.
He has zero power to redline anything.
His administration was involved in drafting the legislation and then after the fact he comes up with a bunch of baloney that will result in Republican Senators voting against the 2K on the record.
Stable Genius screwed everyone who’s unemployment expired yesterday and now has to reapply and go through another waiting period.

Don’t worry, unlike You and Tweety, I realize governing is hard and change involves time and effort.

The “best president” of our lifetime golfs, while the warp (ludicrous) speed rollout is predicted to take the country ten years to reach herd immunity at the current pace. If you ever thought Trump actually gave a damn about Americans, I’d say his actions since he lost the election have put that debate to rest.

A significant number of Americans believe misinformation about the origins of the coronavirus and the recent presidential election, as well as conspiracy theories like QAnon, according to a new poll k

Forty percent of respondents said they believe the coronavirus was made in a lab in China even though there is no evidence for this. Scientists say the virus was transmitted to humans from another species.

And one-third of Americans believe that voter fraud helped Joe Biden win the 2020 election, despite the fact that courts, election officials and the Department of Justice have found no evidence of widespread fraud that could have changed the outcome.

The poll results add to mounting evidence that misinformation is gaining a foothold in American society and that conspiracy theories are going mainstream, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. This has raised concerns about how to get people to believe in a "baseline reality," said Chris Jackson, a pollster with Ipsos.

"Increasingly people are willing to say and believe stuff that fits in with their view of how the world should be, even if it doesn't have any basis in reality or fact," Jackson said.

This poll is reflected here that much is certain

Yet you shrug off political power games. Did you know every Dem believed the accusation against judge Kavanaugh without ANY credible evidence?
Or does that not fit your narrative?

Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees, His $200,000 credit card debt, his $1.2 million mortgage and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat? Some Dark Money, never disclosed, bailed him out.
He showed us all his poor judgement as he turned into an attack animal when questioned.
SCOTUS Justice Kennedy retired abruptly to make way for Trump’s Brett Kavanaugh, Kennedy’s son Justin signed off on Trump’s loans at Deutsche Bank, those loans were backed by Russian state-owned VTB Bank, and Justin’s boss Tom Bowers “killed himself”.

Convince me that Kennedy just happened to decide to retire after hiring clerks and that Kavanaugh paid off his credit card, mortgage and club bill on his own.

And yet another insinuation. What? You need to be convinced of your own insinuation? If you actually proved it, you could convince yourself. But, then, it wouldn't fit YOUR narrative.

But what was so special about Kavanaugh that all that money should have been spent on him when there were several other judges on Trump's list?

Mitch McConnell has announced that he is introducing a new $2000 stimulus check bill tomorrow where he is introducing a provision to get rid of the immunity from prosecution that big media companies such as Google, Twitter, Face Book, and Instagram now currently enjoy and where he also proposes a bi-partisan advisory panel of 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats be established to investigate the 2020 elections.

Ya it’s the dems fault if they don’t for vote for another one of Mitch’s combo meals he loves assembling... and when it’s voted down the reason by Republicans will be if they didn’t cheat why not all the commission to investigate the elections ...
