He really is resorting to his lamest trick which was the Covid checks. I bet you anything he’s going to sign them like last time.
he has to sign them by hand or they dont count! no stamps or autopens either!
To be honest, I’m just looking forward to the massive tax savings and ridiculously lowered tax bill I’m one billion percent sure is going to materialize in 2026 from all the DOGE savings we’ve attained. Totally holding my breath on that one. Do cremated remains even pay taxes? Who the fuck am I kidding, this is the USA, of course they do.
Well, that certainly seems fair. After all, even though I’m a Leftist and I detest the majority of Dems, I still voted for Kamala against Trump and that makes me a traitor.
He wants to exclude Biden voters from the $600 Trump tariff rebate checks?! The ones Trump got for us?
The same Trump that was best friends with Jeffery Epstein up until his suspicious suicide? You know, that known pedophile that Trump said “liked them young?” Remember when Trump wrote him a weird birthday card? That was odd for a president to do that. Trump did say he liked to grab women by the pussy. That was weird too.
Wait what were we talking about again? Oh yeah the $600 “sorry we dismantled your somewhat functioning government” check I probably won’t get. Cool.
You mean best friends until Epstein ‘stole’ one of the minors working in the spa of his golf club?
I love that there are two parties, one that represents all of America, and one that represents half of America, and the half side keeps getting elected? Do you want ants, America? Because that’s how you get ants
Ants?
All Nazis Trolling Shit.
It’s only $600 per person? One time right
oh boy, 600 whole dollars. Woohoo. That’ll cover like 3 months of price increases due to the tariffs.
That’s 3 weeks of groceries for my family. Might finally get to buy a steak for dinner.
Doesn’t that cover healthcare for the millions of people losing Medicaid and ACA plans?
It covers 45 seconds of healthcare for them.
my rent is 1600$ for 900 sq ft lmao
Gonna need that in number of eggs
The rich people don’t need it .
He means millionaires like him?
This headline is a bit alarmist.
“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”
So he is basically just implying everyone who is poor voted Trump, and everyone rich voted Biden. It’s basically a neutered version of class consciousness with a tribal mindset. Which is exactly the type of class consciousness I would expect Hawley to want his constituents to have. He’s still being disingenuous, but he’s not (as of right now) suggesting that we keep voter records to punish people for wrongthink.
Meanwhile, Trump Admin requested the voter records for San Francisco county. Now I wonder why he would want that? 🤔
Wait… they’re doing rebate checks? I thought these tariffs were supposed to magically cover the overwhelming budget deficits? And how exactly will they do that when it’s being distributed as free money?
Literally trying to bribe their terrible ideas into being popular, while blowing the deficit out even further. 600$ will finally convince Americans their economy is doing well and isn’t barrelling towards utter catastrophe at mach speeds. Astounding work.
How? Your vote is supposed to be anonymous. Unless he just means registered democrats
The foxes are guarding the hen house.
Jokes on him. I’m registered republican.
European here, how does that “register with a party” thing work?
The difference is usually (but not in all states) which party’s primary you can vote in.
I’m registered Democrat which means I can vote to select which candidates the Democratic Party is sponsoring
You just check a box. That’s all.

America - the land of “people should be punished for voting the ‘wrong’ way.”
It’s amazing that all it took was a few months of Trump in office for Republicans to stop even bothering to pretend to be anything other than overtly and explicitly anti-American - to out themselves as deliberate and even enthusiastic enemies of every single thing that ever made America great…
Conservatism is, at its root, monarchist. The original writers and thinkers were focused on preserving authoritarian rule, then upon how to build and maintain hierarchies of society where people rule over others.
They’ve never been interested in democratic ideals unless it suits them to reinstate a dictatorship.

Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre were not anti-monarchist at all. Rather the opposite. If you’re thinking of the founding fathers of the United States then you’re not having the same conversation as who you replied to.
I’m totally fine with this. Assuming there is going to be another election, and a democrat wins, I think social security should only be for people who support socialism. Those “backbones of our country” trump voters can go get jobs or die.
there is going to be another election
There won’t be
There will be another election. There has to be on order for Congress to be seated in Jan 2027. The only question is how ratfucked it will be.
All the talk of emergency redistricting in Texas is actually an encouraging sign. Because it means that they aren’t confident in the outcome of the next election, and need to ratfuck it further.
Agree. They either need to go Putin’s way - rig the elections badly from within, or go full Cesar way and seize the congress, potus seat, and everything else
Hehe yeah.
That’s a bold assumption.
The election part?
Yes.
Hey quick question: how do you know who I voted for?
Remember DOGE? Remember all of the databases they got access to without any actual clearance? It’s probably somewhere there. Especially if Trump’s allusion to the voting machines being provoked in his favor by his pet Muskrat are true.
Doesn’t matter, they’ll just go by electoral votes or something
So they’re taking the money from the American people and then “generously” giving them back a portion of it and they say only to people who might financially need it. Almost like they’re taxing people and redistributing income to those in need. If it wasn’t for the hefty piece they’re taking off the top and the blatant buying of votes, it almost sounds like Socialism!!
Also you have to pay taxes on the $600.
Republicans have always been the biggest recipients of welfare.
