Isnt it interesting...

Thanks for supporting the point I was making to the thread author. Of the two political parties in Congress, only one was trying to go "big" on COVID relief. The other party was not even willing to consider going huge.

The Republicans would have urged going "big" if the Democrats wanted to go lower.

Trump wanted $2,000 checks

1) i'm not a right winger, so you're wrong already. strike 1
2) not being a right winger, I tend to hang around with other 2nd Amendment extremists and combat oriented Marines. strike 2 for you
3) In the last 20 years, i've known about 5 liberals who share my 2nd Amendment beliefs....that's about .5% of the whole group. you're outnumbered, outgunned, and out trained. strike 3 for you.

You said this "...there are alot more veterans who are right wingers..."

So what are you? An independent? Well newsflash, independents are outnumbered too.

 

[AProudLefty]

that you're stupid? welcome. on the plus side, you can still learn and be better educated. come join us

Ah the old "I know what you are but what am I?" childish retort.

yes, we are indeed outnumbered.........but I don't plan on joining the two teams, either side........I will be prepared for afterwards though.........attrition is my friend

Ah the old "I know what you are but what am I?" childish retort.

then why did you use it?

 

[AProudLefty]

then why did you use it?

I didn't. I could be wrong, but it seems excessive when people have a huge stockpile of guns and ammos. Something that David Koresh did and got as you predicted.

I don't have a huge stockpile. What I do have is very effective, though.

Then I was wrong. I don't know about RB 60 though. And David Koresh and his people were afraid for real.

religious nuts are quite unpredictable and base their fear on God.............so, that only applies to a small demographic

 

[Nordberg]

I am not a believer in the stimulus programs. I think it should be more targeted instead of going out to as many people as it does. Direct deposits/checks should ONLY be going out to those who have truly hit the skids. Anything else is wasteful and not needed IMO. As for Pelosi,....I am merely pointing out her glaring hypocrisy.

My beliefs in these matters have never changed. Help those who truly need to be helped.....NOTHING for the lazy or corrupt.

Of course, you should decide who is deserving. Do you have any idea how more complicated and expensive that makes things?

 

[Stretch]

$600??? Hell no, we're not sending more to other countries and pork projects here! Make it $2,000!!!!!

 

[Stretch]

That just two years ago Nancy Pelosi said the 1000.00 bonus money that working Americans received were just CRUMBS. Flash forward two years later and suddenly the 600.00 during an extended pandemic is somehow SIGNIFICANT.

This folks,.... is how ugly true partisanship is.

If you're in "fear," you've already lost.

Yep. As Muad'dib once said, fear is the mindkiller.

Isnt that from that old science fiction movie "Dune"? Good movie.

[AProudLefty]

The movie Dune IS a good movie. Though I do understand the critics. It's a shame that the producers rushed David Lynch.

 

[no worries]

The Democrats would never have voted for $2,000 a month. It was just posturing.

Like Dotard is now?

 

[no worries]

Teabaggers like their dear leader are confused, lying or both.
The house and senate passed a $1.4 trillion spending bill in September.
That's to keep the government running through September 2021.
The foreign aid, money for the Smithsonian, the Kennedy center, VA center, the treasury were included in that bill.
NOT the $900 billion stimulus bill.

Yes. He is being the "good cop"
