wow
Dems stimulus plan sees the light of day and the hard core liberals scatter like cockroaches.

******* wild
 
You know who didn't get a dime in this bill? Bars and restaurants, who need it the most.

Libtards who voted for this bill: "**** Americans."
 
I read somewhere that they're trying to put a major dent in our food supply. Restaurants not being in the food supply chain is screwing up all kinds if stuff from the cattle industry on down. Why would they want to do that if not for some nefarious reason?
 
Trump needs to veto this. **** Dems. **** Republicans.
Time for a new political party in Washington. They already have my vote, unless it is stolen.
If you aren't outraged by this, you deserve to be fleeced.

I agree. I'd willingly give up that $600 that I need badly to forego this pork filled garbage.
 
The first "Anti-Lockdown" song I've heard. Van Morrison and Eric Clapton are getting pissed.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/van-...havent-missed-a-paycheck-since-lockdown-began

Music icon Van Morrison is once again blasting mandatory coronavirus closures, noting that politicians “haven’t missed a paycheck” since the forced shutdowns began.

“Remember, those who are shutting down our economy haven’t missed a paycheck since lockdown began. We are not in this together,” he wrote on Twitter.

Van Morrison’s comments come after he released the song “Stand and Deliver” performed by Eric Clapton that also skewered the lockdowns.

Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Stand and deliver
But not a word you heard was true
But if there's nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do

Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna wear these chains
Until you're lying in the grave?

I don't wanna be a pauper
And I don't wanna be a prince
I don't wanna be a pauper
And I don't wanna be a prince
I just wanna do my job
Playing the blues for friends

Magna Carta, Bill of Rights
The constitution, what's it worth?
You know they're gonna grind us down, ah
Until it really hurts
Is this a sovereign nation
Or just a police state?
You better look out, people
Before it gets too late

Apparently, they couldn’t get Senators to vote to give a meager $600 to Americans they put out of work unless the bill also included things like $700 million dollars for Sudan, making “illegal” streaming a felony, and 10 million dollars for gender programs in Pakistan. Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. People are still digging all sorts of ridiculous things out of the bill.

Let me just note that real problem #1 is not that they only sent Americans $600, it’s that the government knowingly and deliberately crushed small businesses, forced people out of work, made it impossible for people to earn a living, and THEN offered them $600. People didn’t need $600, they needed to be allowed to go to work.

Next, the idea that members of Congress should be given hours to read bills thousands of pages long, that were negotiated in secret, is insane. In that situation, every member of Congress should always be an automatic “no.” It’s not as if they’re going to secretly put term limits and a hard cap on the deficit in there, it’s always going to pork and controversial stuff they couldn’t normally get through.

This whole bill is a disgrace and a slap in the face of the American people. It also shouldn’t escape anyone’s notice that this was done right after the elections ended. All those politicians cater to you for a year, but the second they get past the election, their attitude is “screw you and drop dead” until it’s time for them to campaign again. Don’t ever forget who these people really are and what they think of you.

Hamster (and so many others disgusted by this) is right, this is a travesty. If you think 98% of anyone in government is actually looking out for our best interests (the average American), you've got your head in the sand. Blow the whole thing up as it is (euphemism Tibs, you retard), all these bloated Republicans and Democrat fatcats, and just start over.

What they've done to the restaurant industry is downright criminal. I've been closely watching (and hearing about) it happen all over country and it's heartbreaking for these people because of how much money & energy they have to invest in it to be successful.

They'll just do it again the next time they are up for re-election. More slow motion video of the politician walking through the fields with an old farmer, coffee with a minority female at a coffee shop with all her friends nodding in agreement. The shot of the pol talking to constituents on the street of some dusty old town that time forgot. Ooohh he must care, I'm voting for him again!

I hate to say it but this country needs to go into the tank hard and hit rock bottom before people will finally wake up and see what the hell is going on and refocus on making themselves better off and in turn making the country better off. Not the other way around.

Yeah you're right, this is sadly the much more realistic scenario.
 
Must have been a lot harder for politicians to get elected back in the day before TV. You pretty much had to run on your record. You couldn't just paint your opposition in a bad light in hundreds of commercials.. Personally I think we'd be a lot better off if we scrapped the TVs and Dumbphones. There would be a lot more time towards doing constructive stuff..or drinking. :)

There's a restaurant in communist Michigan where a guy walked in. He told the owner that he was lonely and just wanted a meal. The owner served him instead of turning him away. Turns out that the guy was piece of **** from the State Liquor Board. The owner had his license suspended for breaking the ***** governor's no indoor dining restriction.

Same thing happened around here. Piece of **** sits at the bar talking to the bartender all night, then orders a beer at 10:01 then cites the bar owner for serving alcohol after the Rona curfew. Too bad the whole place didn't kick his *** all over the bar.

Disgusting. We're currently working on the 6th petition in Commiefornia to get rid of Gavin Gruesome and we're up to 850,000 signatures and we just need 1.5 million by March (which I actually think is realistic this time because there are so many people on both sides fed up with his tryannical and hypocritical bullshit). I made sure to get everybody I could to sign with me.

Hopefully they can get rid of that ***** as well, the sooner the better.
 
I'm telling you, this whole thing is to kick mom and pop to the curb and pave the way for the big names....That and to finally be done with people's pesky religious beliefs, gathering, and oh yeah freedom of speech.

Time to start massing folks and walking on their state houses.....Enough is enough.

Good to hear. Hopefully you can lead the way for VA which has become CA's East Coast version.

Oh no doubt, the little Costco food courts are just fine and dandy. All that we need to know.
 
Would be interesting to wake up in 200 years and see where things are...

Thank goodness Iowa hasn't capitulated. Governor Reynolds has stood strong despite enormous pressure from the lefties. We are like most states in that our cities are dim strongholds. Their just not large enough to overtake the rest of the state.. yet.
