With this latest bill, we're getting a total of $3,200 per taxpayer. Well, some of us. Not every taxpayer; only us poors. And yet...
That's $38,670 more that each of us could have gotten with that same stimulus. Far more, actually, because not everyone gets a check. But hey, child tax credits, and money for medical something-or-another! At least a few billion out of that $6 trillion.
"We're looking out for you, Americans!"

Yeah, sure you are.

"Contrary to some cynical pundits, Biden was not “lucky” to win in 2020. He is not a gaffe machine; indeed, he is religiously on-message and often eloquent."
With someone so "religiously on-message and often eloquent," @JRubinBlogger, any logical explanation why he hasn't done any press conferences or spoken to the American public for more than just a few minutes once or twice now?
I mean, c'mon man! This man just exudes eloquence!

Beyoncé and I share a lot more in common than previously thought!
Please respect our privacy.
Seriously, paparazzi, give it a break! Just because Beyoncé and I have both decided to spend some time alone and not attend some two bit awards show doesn't mean we're a thing!

With this oh-so-magnanimous American Rescue plan, we will have gotten a total of $3,200 per recipient ($1,800 from Trump; $1,400 from Biden). It's come at a total cost per taxpayer of $41,870.

That's $38,670 per taxpayer that went *poof* somewhere else.
This is exactly what happens when the government says they have to help you. It's costing you $38,670 in future taxes to dole out just over three grand to you now.

Predatory loan sharks look at that kind of deal and think...
Or hey, don't worry about paying it off and just let that national debt stack up like Dominos pizza boxes at a frat party. Not like money's gonna be worth anything if we keep doing that forever, huh?

Hard to believe how many times @Newsweek has had to put out corrections. A thread.
So many corrections.
Corrections galore.

The Philippines allowed China to help them build and operate their power grid. Now China is in full control, and can kill power to the entire country whenever they want. Imagine governing a country with that hanging over your head. No wonder Duterte suddenly went anti-U.S.
Here's more on how China controls the Philippine power grid. China doesn't have to say a thing to get the Philippines to cooperate. It's unwritten, unspoken: "It's nice having electricity. I'd be a shame if you didn't support China 100%." cnn.com/2019/11/25/asi…
And it's working. The Philippines is predominately using China's high-priced Sinovac vaccine even though its efficacy rate is terrible. There's a corruption scandal there right now for failing to procure Pfizer, which is cheaper and far more effective. news.abs-cbn.com/news/01/19/21/…

This man has now signed at least 27 executive orders in just over 24 hours as the most powerful man on Earth.
He can't keep it up, of course, but he's on pace for 39,447 executive orders signed in just four years. For a comparison, Donald Trump signed 220 in four years.
He's got so many executive orders lined up he has a whole box of pens so he doesn't run out of ink.
