What's going on with the second ($1,200?) stimulus check?

Anyone working on that?

Anyone still talking about that? In congress I mean.

Is Congress still negotiating, or has Trump's toothless "executive orders" stalled negotiations for actual bill passing?

I want my $1,200 payment. I consider it an award for putting up with this constant bullshit and gas lighting from Trump. I need it to cover my Instacart fees.

YOU GOT MONEY FOR THAT FUCKING COMMERCIAL, FUCKING COMMERCIAL AND YOU DON'T GOT MY MONEY? GIVE ME THE FUCKING MONEY...

I've heard pretty much nothing about additional stimulus checks and as hard of the Republicans are fighting for every last thin dime (apparently nothing brings chills their blood more than the idea of giving money to us Poors that we don't 'deserve') I really doubt they're going to give up money to the non productive. It might lessen their ability to hand out billions to the 'Deserving'.

The whole GOP seems to wholeheartedly embraced the Prosperity Gospel

However, what's in the rest of the bill they can't agree on. Perhaps next week.

While Trump does his little song and dance. Mark Meadows and Bitch McTurdle are making unreasonable demands.

The fact Trump chose such a Tea Partier is yet more proof he doesn’t care about the people.

These EOs won’t work and are way too little. They are just for show. We need the stimulus checks, real relief for the unemployed, food assistance, money for states and a real eviction/foreclosure moratorium.

McConnell is plotting with Chao on how to get more Russian money for themselves.

The grifters are grifting.

Ted Cruz is fantasizing about pretending to be transgender to try to sneak into the third grade girls' room.

Louie Gohmert is sucking on Ted Cruz's big toe because he can't get his own big toe anywhere near his own mouth.

Susan Collins is very concerned about Mark Meadows crying about mask-wearing people interrupting Gym Jordan's locker room party.

Trump is fellating Putin between rounds of golf.

They're all looking to simplify and expedite the stimulus money by combining everybody's $1200 together and giving the whole lot to Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn, to "get the needed help quickly where it's needed most."
