I thought he did a terrible job of picking and vetting his cabinet or trusting the idiots that did it and keeping a ton of holdovers from the Obama admin. They were constantly, even up to the end of his term sabotaging him, leaking info and giving bad policy advice over the yrs.

Everyone loved him before he went into politics. As soon as he said he was going to run for President, they turned on him so quick, and haven't stopped attacking him. He wasn't part of the club or swamp and was an outsider, no matter what you think. He wasn't always cordial or pleasant to his opponents, but that didn't bother me. I think that almost everyone in Washington is corrupt. Like a bombardier knows he's over the target when he starts getting heavy fire. He aligns with many of my own things that matter to me, like his stance on abortion in particular. I can't in good conscience support a politician that's for abortion. Yes, I do think he was a good POTUS, you just wouldn't know that because the media wouldn't report all the good he actually did.
Are you serious? They had him on all the late night shows, in movies, people always tried to get near him or angle to sit near him at awards shows, daytime talk shows had him on all the time, rappers talked about him, they gave him his own freaking show. He was friends with everyone rich and famous. You act like he was never liked, which would be completely false.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:51 pmAre you fricken' serious?!

Trump has been a scumbag his whole life. Countless people were screwed over by him before he became president. I, for one, have never seen one ounce of decency in him and have never appreciated him in any way. He just showed his full true self when in office, building up to a crescendo at the end. He is a horrible excuse for human life. Always has been. Can I make myself any more clear?

Hey, I'm all for passing it. I didn't tell them to not vote for it. What were their reasons for not voting for it, and don't give me what you "think" their reasons were?

Fuck senate Republicans. If Biden had compromised and given them everything they wanted they still wouldn’t have voted for the bill. They sure couldn't wait to vote for tax cuts for millionaires though.
You want to know why I say fuck the GOP and Republican party In2ition and anyone else? This is why. Don't try to appease them Biden. They'll never be your friend. What's the point of having a Democratic majority if you still need the Republican vote?
They want to trim it down and be fiscally conservative, as the GOP motto seems to be at all times. They are proposing cutting it from 1.9 trillion to 600 million and one of the largest ways they hope to accomplish that is by targeting the stimulus checks to individuals that make less than 50k and families that make less than 100k. That would eliminate 29 million stimulus recipients, which would be huge savings. They then want to cut the $1,400 amount down to $1000 for those that meet the new requirements.In2ition wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:02 amHey, I'm all for passing it.

Idk if those are bunk reasons, but I don't agree with the decision. Good news though, it didn't matter as it passed the Senate and is only waiting on the House now, right? For some reason, I didn't get the last stimulus check, even though I was eligible for it and should be for this next one too. I guess I'll get it after I file my taxes.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 11:39 amThey want to trim it down and be fiscally conservative, as the GOP motto seems to be at all times.

Their reasons are conservatives being "conservative" with all things, as always, which hurts middle class families (which I fall into as a single income family that makes $130k). Meanwhile, as always, they don't mind making tax cuts for the wealthy. I've read that if the 2017 tax cuts that went to those wealthy Americans were eliminated, the 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus proposal would cost nothing. I also read somewhere that if Steve Bezos gave every single Amazon employee $150k, he'd still be worth nearly 17 billion dollars. And yet the GOP continues to give Bezos and other folks at the top of the food chain tax cuts while voting to be "responsible" and "conservative" when it comes to giving the rest of Americans, especially the middle class, the shaft over and over again.
As for more specific reasoning, I was listening to a podcast where they said the GOP came to the decision to target these stimulus checks due to a study that found that families that made more than $67k were more likely to put some of the money into savings (you know, being responsible is a bad thing, apparently) and those that made less than $67k spent the entire check right away to help with immediate needs. Forget the fact that this stimulus money comes from taxes we've all been paying for years. How dare we get a slice of that back during these times. I know that personally, we put away a chunk of the stimulus check in our emergency savings while using some of it to help with some needed home repairs. There is value in building up your emergency funds and saving money, especially as a single income family with a mortgage, truck payment, etc. etc. and a newborn child that has to budget fairly aggressively. You never know when an emergency will come about or you're looking for a new job.
