$2000 a person (not including high income people!)

Here's a fun fact: the megarich billionnaire fucks have no income. They'll get their $2000 check too.

I wouldn't mind it, only 1% waste is pretty good for a social program.

If it works and papers over Trump's approval, the Republic is dead.

If it doesn't work, Trump's approval is still far higher than it should be, and the Republic may already be dead anyway.

What a time to be alive.

Any number over zero is far higher than it should be. His fans truly disgust me.

The Republic is already dead. What you're seeing is its twitching corpse moving.

Yeah, I suspect as much. Hence the "the Republic may already be dead anyway."

Still, I like to cover all the possibilities. M-maybe the Republic is just pinin' for the fjords?

If I heard right he doesn't mean direct payments. More vague "tax savings" and such that total to this.

That's what it was last time.

You being handed your own money back, with a letter bearing Donald's name pretending he was giving you something. And it worked, which is why you saw Abbott doing something similar with the flood relief checks in Texas. (Though really he was handing NY and Cali's money to poor Texans.)

Tocqueville assumed Congress would pay the bribe. Trump won't pay a cent to anyone.

The money will be paid to the businesses to offset to stupid tariffs. The rich get richer. It's just more steps.

If we take money from a criminal, doesn't that make us all criminals?
