It’s incredible how often you manage to prove to people that they are exactly right about the type of person that you are.
Not going to argue over what was said in that video (which Rupar, as usual, is misrepresenting), but how sick do you have to be to try to score point on a man who just died and his grieving family? There has to be something seriously wrong in your head to think that’s acceptable.
Seems that he at least understood that this behavior was wrong at one point...

Incredible. Every single conspiracy related to voter fraud has fallen apart. And every time, they just make up a new one and demand you disprove it. Here is the latest one being destroyed.
What GA has done is unprecedented. They did a full-state hand recount to disprove the Dominion conspiracy, and now a signature audit to disprove the absentee conspiracy. All in an election that wasn’t that close to appease a sore loser and a bunch of conspiracy theorists.
And during that whole time, the 3 leading Republican state officials (Kemp etc.) were attacked, smeared, and threatened because a bunch of clowns promoted baseless and dumb conspiracies without any evidence.

Only person responsible for risking giving D's the Senate is the loser in the WH who couldn't accept losing an election so he spent last 2 months promoting insane conspiracy theories and undermining best argument for Loeffler & Perdue: They are needed as a check on Biden/Pelosi.
That also happens to be the same idiot that put R's in this position by putting the terrible wealth distribution proposal on the table and forcing R's in a corner because he was pissed they wouldn't go with his insane attempts to steal the election.
Notice none of these geniuses even noticed that Pelosi completely changed Trump's proposal (which would have been 200 Billion) to essentially be a giveaway to the moderately wealthy (capping at 350k and bringing the bill to 435Billion). Mostly going to people unaffected.

Ok I guess I will have to go over the history here since people are trying to rewrite it. There are 2 separate topics: The omnibus spending + the relief bill. Let's start with the relief bill.

Congress has been fighting over how to do a secondary relief bill since May...
At one point Trump (to his credit) used FEMA funds to add UI benefits. When October came around it became obvious that Pelosi had an intentional strategy of not passing anything until after the election, McConnell wanted to pass a compromise based on what everyone agreed to.
However, Trump was desperate to get a deal bc he thought it would help him for the election so he kept upping the offer w/o Republican buy-in (up to 1.8 trillion at one point). Pelosi had no interest bc she saw it as a way to help Dems during election (I went after her for it).

Let me simplify. There are 2 possible paths now:

1) Trump signs the bill

2) Trump does nothing. D's bring up a unanimous consent vote on 2k checks (w/ 0 funding cuts) and R's reject. Gov't shuts down or short-term CR. No relief bill and negotiations start from scratch in Jan.
And with Biden as POTUS and 48-50 Senate seats, whole negotiation changes in Jan. Nothing will be taken out of the spending bill but guaranteed $ for states and other Dem goodies are back on the table and it will be a 2 trillion bill.
Oh and I forgot to mention: Since unemployment runs out on Dec 23rd for many, eviction moratorium on Dec 31st, and no PPP loans = job cuts, a lot of Americans will suffer as a result until they pass a much worse bill in February.

Thread . Other problem is that the legislative session is running out so real threat of a pocket veto. So only realistic options are Trump signs the bill or Americans who desperately need relief have to wait until they start from scratched with Biden as President.
And btw with Biden as POTUS and possibly winning GA, the whole negotiation changes. If you don't like the stuff that's in the omnibus now, wait until you see what Dems throw in the relief bill when they have the WH and possibly the Senate.
People on here really don't understand the mess that Trump threatened to create last night because they think you can just magically pass a new bill in a day, but that's just not how it works. Dems know there will never be unanimous consent for +, that's why they are thrilled.

The $600 is the least important part of the relief bill. Direct checks are a completely ineffective form of relief that mostly go to people who don't need them. We have millions going into poverty bc no PUA unemployment + permanent job losses w businesses closing.
Again, here was what was actually in the relief bill. All the items other people are citing have nothing to do with the relief bill. They were part of the omnibus bill authorizing the government's budget for the full year.
I agree that our government wastes a lot of money and we need spending reform. That's not happening right now or in the next week and choosing this moment to suddenly care about it and hold needed relief for Americans hostage is just dumb.
