| The COVID Relief Bill Is Crap, and Other Things You Already Knew |
| 2020-12-22 |
| [RightScoop] Well, Merry Effing Christmas! Congress has come to an agreement on the much ballyhooed COVID Relief Package! My colleague Bonchie has already given the particulars, so I won’t belabor the finer points: "Yesterday, Congress announced a deal had been reached on a new COVID relief bill, at least insofar as getting it to the floor for a vote. In reality, almost no one has actually read it. This all happened after months of stonewalling by Democrats as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer sought to ensure maximum political damage occurred to President Trump. They played a cynical game with people’s lives and the media praised them for it.As far as I’m concerned, instead of a lump of coal, it’s a turd in the stocking of Americans. Coal at least has a purpose, and doesn’t stink to high heaven of hypocrisy. Now House and Senate leaders are blowing smoke up each other’s hind parts, and doing the cable shows as though they’ve done something monumental. We worked sooo hard for the American people. I think that’s supposed to be your job, right? Glad you finally got that. Apparently, the incoming administration is also on record praising this "bipartisan" effort. They talk about this like they did 10 rounds with Mike Tyson instead of having dinners catered and lobbyists sending the copy. All they have to do is wipe flop sweat and floss for the cameras. |

| #2 At this point: It's still legal for me to speak against abortion, but realistically it's not going away. Soon, despite its enshrinement in the national legal firmament, I will be at risk for going to jail for speaking negatively about it. Same for the national debt. For now it's legal for me to grumble, soon that crazy talk will land me in federal stir. |

| #1 I am still reading/skimming the Dec. 21st, 2020 agreed on 116th HR-133SA-RCP-116-68 bill/law/Budget. This C19 Stimulus #2 Bill will requires days of Skimming. Because the damn thing is 5500+ pages long and only sections cover C-19. COVID-19 STIMULUS 2 From the start it is clear C19 stimulus #2 was never going to agreed on until AFTER the Election for political campaign leverage. Screw the people for bragging rights, I guess. Seriously $600???? This is BS after waiting 6+ months for the DC elite to agree on what type of Cake to feed the masses. But having said that, We must understand the DC Elite have already overdrawn the USA $20.3 Trillion with little show for it in the last 50 years. So while the DC elite continued to play political games at our expense for political positioning. They get to live High On The Hog at our expense. All while we watched them steal and election, violate the Civil Rights of millions, and kill our economy with often useless C-19 Mandates. Some Additional Info At AXIO |
