http://www.salon.com/2020/12/28/trumps-bungled-stimulus-stunt-a-reminder-that-the-self-described-master-negotiator-is-a-dud/

But how can that be?!

Kid triumphantly posted how Trump had negotiated these major concessions from Mitch McConnell, after screwing over the American people!

Like... a vote on the $2000 package for stimulus in the Senate. And a commitment to have an investigation into non-existent voter fraud.

And don't forget the rescission insistence that Congress can ignore and which tries to cut bunches of items that the Trump administration requested!

How can you claim he is not a master negotiator?!

The increasingly blurred line between the armed right wing groups and the police is explored, albeit not deeply.

After Trump signed the bill, a senior White House official voiced frustration that Trump relented on signing the deal over his demand for higher stimulus checks.

"What's particularly hilarious is watching Trump quit on his coronavirus relief push while complaining about everyone quitting on his reelection. Why should any supporter fight for him when he quit on trying to get them more than a measly $600?" the senior official told CNN.

The official is late coming to this understanding, but it is nice to see some degree of reason exists.

Trump got assurances pre-signing, something you and MSNBC seem to conveniently ignore

The White House issued a statement that it has secured a promise from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to hold a standalone vote for $2,000 per person relief checks Trump had been pushing for, over the $600 that is in the bill.

The statement also said the Senate will consider legislation to repeal "Section 230" of the Communications Act that gives immunity to social media publishers. It also said the Senate would conduct investigations into voter fraud

Winning.
LOL. "Consider". I "consider" dating Margot Robbie. Trump got zero for fucking over the unemployed who get nothing this week.

You also realize that if the Dems win in Georgia the Senate will not be investigating Trump's fantasies.

It doesn't matter when he got them, Kid. They remain meaningless.

Has the roadkill question been settled yet?   Eat or leave it to rot?  I've got a possum simmering on top of the radiator,  which should be medium rare by the time I pull into the driveway.   Should I remove it and toss it out on the prairie for an apex predator instead?

because of Trump’s foot-dragging, some Americans will lose a week’s worth of additional unemployment benefits.

I know some members of the GOP are trying to deny this, but there is no support for their claims. And it was so unnecessary.

LOL. People lost eligibility for benefits because the extension of benefits in the CARE act lapsed. As you well know you troll.

When I was in HS my dad killed a deer 🦌 with his pickup. We had venison for months in our chest freezer. It was about 20 years later I realized I have technically eaten road kill.
