Hawley is such a piece of shit. He is 100% positioning himself for a run in 2024. He praises increasing stimulus checks and then this. He is trying to butter both sides of his bread...grab those in the middle and grab the T support from the far right. Fuck that guy. I hope he falls in a well and no one rescues him.

H got me this for christmas and I didnβt even ask for it. Heβs a treasure. Iβm on page 8. The preface alone is stunning. Iβve already teared up a bunch. Iβm sure this has been covered here, but I highly recommend. Reading it and knowing that when he wrote it and the preface that he didnβt know Biden was going to win...just every second knowing that his legacy is returning in some form as I read it fills me with so much hope. I got this and Michelle's book for MH. I can't wait to read them when he's done

Well the govt knows right this minute if you are getting any income from any source where taxes could be taken out, and how much that income is. they could compare last years tax return with the tax info from last month in this yeae and get a pretty good idea of who is more in need this year due to loss of job since last year. And then use that to target people more accurately. They pull that data all the time to see who can be on or stay on medicaid. So the mechanism for pulling the data already exists. So for medicaid renewal they knew exactly how much $ we didn't make last month to verify we were still eligible. Good point

If they hadnβt played politics with COVID relief maybe they could have spent that time coming up with a more precise relief system.
Pie in the sky, I know.
Honestly if weβre going to have to pay taxes on these checks, just send them to everyone. Weβll donate about half of ours and save the other half towards a kitchen reno, which will employee people once itβs safe to have strangers in our home. If helping Americans is the goal of the checks, this seems good to me. If itβs to stimulate the economy well, thatβs dumb anyway during a pandemic.

I can't deal with these assholes. Isn't there currently a bill collecting dust on Mitch's desk that was for election security?

Y'all i finally had time to sit and dig into the brexit uk-eu trade agreement and let me tell you this shit is thrown together.
It's going to be a mess- slightly less mess than a hard brexit, but still a mess.
They refer to the impirtance of encryption by mentioning the state of the art platforms Netscape and Mozilla for compliance purposes. . .
So basically. Nobody read the whole agreement.

Just noticed our $600 each are pending in our account for Jan 4.
Not that I expect the $2,000 to pass but if it does, is that in addition to the $600? Or is it to total $2,000?

I was wondering this too. I would assume it would total $2000 including the $600 being disbursed but I have no authority on that. Just my assumption. I also have a pending $600 deposit.

It would be total $2,000 per adult - so if passed and you already received your $600, youβd get whatβs left over of the $2000 for adults. Kids will still be $600 so nothing extra if it changes.

This is how I understood it to be as well, but I highly doubt it will pass for the $2000. Right now Iβm just hoping GA comes through. Four years ago, I posted that I hope checks and balances keep our country from failure due to T, it would be nice to see that actually happen. LOL me?

And I'm vociferously against the death penalty, but it's what he deserves for the unmatched cruelty in the name of public service. At least corporations make it clear that shareholders ar their #1.
