I think trump was going to refuse to sign the stimulus bill because he lost,

[duforsure]

To hurt everyone , and no matter what they had agreed to, he still would have come up with an excuse to not sign it, demanding something else. He's a sadist , and gets off hurting people, even his own followers, who he's hurting now. This is intentional , and he knows what he's doing to people but doesn't care. He and Jared already got millions in stimulus money.

1. Worst human on the planet born post WWII in terms of global impact. nt

2. +1, but there are literally people in food lines who'll vote for him again

4. It is collective psychosis. It is staggering. Putin will go down in history as getting

more bang for the buck against a vastly superior power competitor than most other leaders in human history, certianly in the top 5.

Dog help us if we do not win both the GA runoffs. I am also terrified we lose the House in 2022. The last 2 first term Dem POTUS's midterms (1994 and 2010) were cataclysmic. We lost a net 63 House seats and a net 7 Senate seats post 2010 elections versus where we were at post 2008 elections.

11. That will not hold true if we follow a basic rule.

Make certain the votes are counted. Even those of Democrats. Do whatever else Stacey Abrams has done in Georgia.

Patrol every polling place and stand between voters and those who would discourage them. I've personally seen black people stopped at the polling place door and told, without cause or proof or reason, they aren't registered to vote in their own precinct.

Count the votes, stop the gerrymandering and you've solved the legislative personnel problem.

17. We can do little about the gerrymandering, we did not take back a single state assembly and lost

both chambers in NH to the Rethugs, plus lost the Governorship in Montana. The post 2020 Census redistricting (at both state and federal district levels) will thus continue with Rethug shenanigans in so many states, which will fuck us for the next ten years. They barely missed taking control of both the House and Senate in Minnesota by a a few hundred votes in several districts. The Rethugs now have 23 State trifectas (Governorships and both the State House and Senate), 24 if Alaska doesn't enact a power sharing coalition. We have 15.

19. Facts I don't want to hear because it reminds me of how many under-the-radar.......

turns for the worse are sealed while Trump entertains us.

10. You simply can't fix STUPID.

3. CNN reported that the relief bill was being flown down to him...

It wouldn't surprise me if he signs it today, just for the visual: Our beneficent Dear Leader, giving his loyal subjects a Christmas present. Makes ya wanna gag.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. And the MAGAts will cheer and swoon and say what a wonderful person he is to take

time away from family at Christmas just to do something that Congress couldn't get done.

And then they'll find an excuse to bash Democrats for interrupting his well deserved vacation.

[Bengus81]

8. Bet he doesn't. By not signing he's got the media focused like a lazer on him..

Which his ego has to have on a daily basis good or bad. Nah...Trump is going to play this CON of wanting bigger checks for everyone for another week or more.

[hatrack]

14. Either way, he'll have gotten what he wanted . . .

That is, days and days of distraction and LOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATME!!!!

[smirkymonkey]

5. You are right.

He is a sick man and a sadist. He delights in seeing other people suffer. It is the only thing that gives him pleasure. The sooner this disgusting pig falls off the mortal coil, the better. It cannot be too soon.

[Turin_C3PO]

15. The day he's six feet under

should be made a national holiday. I know I’d celebrate every year.

[Bengus81]

18. What if Trump and Limbaugh keeled over dead on the same day?

Atheists would be saying maybe there is a God.

[arlyellowdog]

6. The art of the blackmail

I think he was just impulsive at first and actually thought Congress would follow his command. Now, Trump will use signing as blackmail for the January 6 vote. I think Mitch and the gang will say, “yes master,” and then double cross Trump.

[Maxheader]

9. Incredible..

75 million donnybots would accept this crap...

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. I think you are correct. If it had been 2000, he would have found a reason to veto it.

He is VILE.

[Maggiemayhem]

13. He is upset about the money laundering shell company language inserted in the stimulus bill

[in2herbs]

16. I agree with you. nt
