ri Alban Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 8 hours ago, Maple Leaf said: Six weeks after Election Day, Trump has spent more than half of his days with no public appearances, showing little interest in the daily work of being president. In all, there have been 20 days with no public events at all listed on Trump's schedule in the weeks since Election Day, and zero intelligence briefings. He's held 13 public appearances open to the press, conducted a single on-camera interview, and taken questions from reporters on only two occasions. By contrast, he has spent nine days on his golf course. I don't like Trump, but he can't win with some people. His inactivity until Iden takes over is a good thing, but if he was more active, folk would want him to feck off and play golf. It's over for him, gie him a bit of peace and just let him stay out of the way for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we're seeing actual calls to arms from some of Trump's legal team. The GOP may be slowly coming around to reality but their voters are not. They're doubling down on the death threats and this is going to end up with extreme violence. I thought that, but the loudest voices in all of this are shiters, waiting for the mass uprising to begin, then they'll commit. Except they're all waiting. I'm sure there'll be the odd reaction from extreme nut jobs, but not the massive overthrow that was threatened. It was the same at celtic Park a couple of weeks ago, they had the numbers and when that fence went down they could have stormed it, but they were all waiting for everyone else to move first.

Careful, I said something about Trump that I thought was fair, it was to do with the upcoming elections at the time. I t was immediately suggested because I did that all my previous criticisms were not genuine. I really don't agree with you, he has been obstructive during the transition. And his idiotic lawsuits about a rigged election have kept him busy and negligent of his Presidential duties. As said I don't agree with you but I can see where you are coming from.

That's the job he wanted, that's the job he got, and he's got it until January 20. Neither you nor I get to pick and chose what we want to do in our job, and neither does he. If he has time for golf, or time to fund-raise for his own personal financial benefit, he has time to fulfil his presidential duties.

Justin Z Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 So, Congress has passed a $900 billion stimulus bill that includes a one-time $600 cash payment to many Americans. There's about 260 million adults in the US so being generous and saying they're all eligible and receive a check, that's a cost of about $156 billion. The other $750 billion or so is mostly handouts to corporations, again, after the $1.2 trillion bill in March which was mostly that plus $1,200 to most Americans. A 5,593 page bill, negotiated in secret by top party leaders only, and the rank-and-file of the houses had a few hours to review it. Democracy in America.

It took white nationalist rioters directly and violently confronting police, using pepper spray and physical force on them, to get the police to finally respond against them with merely equal force. Contrast this to how police behaved just in Oregon, as they repeatedly used pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets and flash grenades against BLM protesters in the summer, time and again. Protesters who actively wished to avoid confrontation with police, so they could participate in the marching, chanting, praying at vigils, etc., that were the keystone of their protests, 93% of which were peaceful nationwide.

There's been some unemployment insurance, but not furlough, and the current bill provides a means-tested $300 a week. Gig economy workers won't be eligible, nor will many part-timers (at least for the full benefit, if at all), or many others. 14 minutes ago, Boof said: That's, pro rata, over 10 times more than each Israeli gets...

It's also as Mysterion said, about why the **** is aid to Israel in a domestic Covid relief bill? You have definitely hit on a relevant point, that when someone frames it as they did in the tweet, it opens the door to a criticism like this one... Edited to add: @Boof there's hundreds of times more money pro rata for each American than for US attempts to overthrow for “democracy programs” for the Venezuelan government, but I mean...
