By the time they're done, you'll get a $50 voucher for rent and a coupon for a peanut butter snickers with a purchase of at least $10 or more.

    I have to question whether that will even serve it's original intended use as an economic stimulus. The more important aspect of the bill for many is the extension of the unemployment benefits.

    😂 That sounds like a plan! In the moment we do it I am re-cashing out and retiring. No income equals no taxes.

    Well, no income tax at least.

    Looking forward to watching Trump lose multiple times on Jan. 6th. It just never gets old.

    "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

    the wacky aspect o' this is not trump's efforts to influence an election official, but the predictable inability o' most trumpers to see anything wrong 'bout the audio.

    I look forward to those who were pearl clutching about antifa and BLM to condemn their friend Louie.

    (e): Just noticed Gromnir posted this already, so consider this a reply to his post:
     
    The description says "blackmail", but I listened to all of it and didn't really hear anything that could qualify as blackmail (there are no threats or really anything he's holding over the Georgian Secretary of State), so I think that's a little sensationalist, but it was still amusing listening to Trump's pathetic and corrupt pleas.

    Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    I haven't checked this topic in a while, but I came here when I found out about this. How sad is it that people who support him won't understand or accept it?

    Two words my friend: agricultural exemption. Collectively I own over 300 acres all told and pay about $2k per year in property tax. And my state has no income tax. All my lessee's ask is that I keep the fences fixed and the roads graded,

    Three days to go. Either that loser DJT will get kicked to the curb or we'll have a Republican overthrow of our Democracy. I'm guessing the Pubs will do just enough to avoid the latter.

    "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

    Of course, Trump's base will claim the Dems are overthrowing our democracy.
