He was smart to put it on them and to call them out on what they were doing.

Somebody needs to keep them in check.

No president in my time on this earth has ever done that.

Again I am not a Trump fan but he does have some balls and doesn't care what they think.

Yes he signed a REDLINED bill with many desired changes which means today Congress has again vote to approve it otherwise it's DEAD.

 

 

Do you have a link to a story that confirms this version of things?

 

Cause the versions I read say things like this:

 

While the president insisted he would send Congress “a redlined version” with spending items he wants removed, those are merely suggestions to Congress.

That is my understanding as well.

The atomic bomb, had the same affect on people. It still is very impressive on the fail scale of most counter productive creations produced by mankind. All it takes is one to come in like a wrecking ball, and mess it all up.

Trump's a narcissist, he cares very little for anything, except for the glowing orange meat slab, glorifying him in the mirror. The fact Trump had his, big boss man daddy money and his overlord connects in NYC real estate business, didn't help the situation that help inflate that  Hindinburg sized ego of his.

Alexei Navalny has balls, cuz assassin rubbed a neurotoxin in his underwear to kill this guy, almost did. He got better and got the confession for the assassination attempt on him. I doubt Trump's are as advertised. It's all about perspective with Trump, and he likes a show to make things seem better than they are.

Narcissism is extremely prevalent in society these days and egos are larger than ever.

I really don't care for people like Trump but he is the president and I am glad he is trying to help America and its population and not take advantage of them like most politicians.

You want proof of narcissism just get on you tube and look at all the channels where people just talk about themselves  and make everything all about them.

To think that the whole internet is interested in what they do on a daily basis is the height of narcissism.

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's idealised self-image and attributes. Trump has displayed on several accounts, pointed out by official psychologist, as showing danger signs of narcissism. His own niece, Mary Trump, who is a psychologist, said he's a narcissist.

I don't believe Trump is trying to help, except get revenge for losing a election republicans won't help him nullify, cuz it makes him look bad, like "a loser."

Can we as a society benefit from his narcissistic outbursts of revenge, not so sure...cuz he spent most his holiday pardoning friends who were guilty of treason, as well as other white collar and dangerous criminals, between golfing sessions at his "Winter White House" mansion club. Instead of  managing the pandemic and making sure to help slow the spread of Covid... He's already taken advantage of the American people more than anybody wants to admit to...it just hurts how bad and blatant the swindling was. After 4 years of books are just a drop in the bucket on describing how much damage he has caused.

I know there are narcissist on YouTube...Facebook...Twitter...etc. World is a scary place and the internet is just as scary. Doesn't matter how big they are or if they be kissed on the butt by God and claimed ruler of the moon, Narcissist only have one person in mind and that's themselves and to hell with anything else that doesn't worship them. It's a sickness.

It is a sickness and I point it out to you tubers all the time.

I get nasty messages back of course but that only proves my point.

if you worked last year then you are getting $ 600 and unemployment gets $300 for 11 weeks starting week ending 26 of December. I dont know where this money is coming from but it will keep the economy going until Joe Biden Ruins it. Get ready for 3 dollar gallons again and no work. My trade was booming before covid now you cant even buy a job.

According to MSN they have not reached agreement on the amount yet.

Left blaming right right blaming the left same old same old.

Well, the $600 stimulus already landed in my account as of this morning. I thought it was still undecided so I didn't expect to see it at all.

 

Love,

Trump signed the bill with the $600 stimulus check and unemployment extensions in it and tried to do a line veto on the parts he didn't like. Unfortunately for him, the courts took the line veto power away from the presidency during the Clinton administration when Bill tried to do it. A few mad lads in congress are now trying to get a new bill for $2000 passed and it's being blocked by the usual suspects. By which I mean McConnel, the R's and the corporate Democrats.

 

Last I knew, they were adding poison pills to the bill to make it unpalatable to Democrats while Bernie and some allies were calling for a single issue bill. So long as McConnel is in charge of the Senate, it's unlikely to see light of day.

 

Hugs!

       Well McConnel's Senate Majority days may be numbered as I plan on sitting this one out, will not participate in a fraudulent national election system. and may only cast a vote for Georgia's Public Service Commission which is also fraught with major swamp abuse & cost overuns. 

       "Blackman" is pro-residential solar and that billion$ dollar 'new nuke plant' you see pictured may NEVER be finished yet GA power customers are on the hook for the bill regardless!

My 600 was DD on the 1st.

So what I am going to do is find a local small business I deal with a lot and spend all 600 worth.

Both McConnell's and Pelosi's houses were vandalized and spray painted, asking "where's the 2k". Could have been far worse.

Politicians might like playing their games, but they easily forget they can buy a new house others cannot afford the basic necessities of life. Both historical and even in the stories of old, it doesn't take much for even a small town majority to start showing teeth in times of injustice. Them signs don't look good... $600 and crumbs won't hold or distract for long.

Vandalized is technically correct but doesn't paint an accurate picture. There was just some spray-painting. It's not like they've got broken windows and smashed furniture. They're worth billions (McConnell) and millions (Pelosi) respectively. They should be able to afford a power washer.

 

Hugs!

Seems that's what the people who painted those houses did. Not sure it was worth it. Self-employment rarely pays well, has benefits or considers holidays. My concern is what jobs people choose to do if normal employment can't be found or afforded. At least the cleaners will be getting paid for the power washing.

I'm sure you didn't mean to make a pun. Pelosi did have a present left for her on top of everything(don't feel like repeating what's in the article). It's not civil or helpful in getting money to the people. Might seem minor but how many times have people left messages spray-painted on people's doorstep and ment well by it.

      Lets get this topic back on track folks.  Please spell out your acronyms for your specific meaning of the letter combinations and then re-read your own typing before hitting the send button.  We are here to be supporting each other and not stomping on someone's last nerve.  In the past we have used our DWF (Dirty Word Filter) to interpret certain acronyms and then the members were begging us to delete the posts for them one or two leaving with injured feelings.  Community Rules 7 (about posts being in clear English and Rule 8 (being suitable for people under 18) can come into play here. Thank you.

      I could be described, I suppose, as a RWNJ.   A little stereotyping seems to be going on.  Don't complain about Trans stereotypes if you turn around and stereotype others.  A lot of RWNJs are actually decent people and get called that by people who pick up on one or two alleged beliefs.  I would rather single out influential individuals of whatever camp and call them to correction.   Trans folk are a small minority, even as small minorities go.  There are probably a lot more RWNJs running around than there are trans folk.

      They cut a lot of trees here as well.  A lot of them toward the coast end up chipped up and sent to Europe to burn in power plants.  That bothers me, seems like a dumb idea.
    • Ivy
      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.

      It should be the league's business whether it allows trans women to play, not the park's.   (They seem to be inclusive - good on them)

      Sticking my neck out here, but that's what I see the RWNJ's doing all the time! They always need someone or something to "fight". Everything is a contest to them; there's always a battle to be had, an opponent to defeat, a dragon to slay, then another, and another.    *Sigh* if only they'd put their energy into working with people instead of against them.

      I think i became much more emotional overall.  Perhaps because use a topical E i haven't had the swings that some folks feel but i can laugh  and cry so much easier, sometimes over situations i would never have seen before.  Perhaps my age has something to do with it, but i am also much more peaceful and accepting of the storm life keeps presenting.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I think the interpretation of the question is always going to provide a wide array of answers. Do I have a rich inner life? Yes! Why? Good question!   Circumstances often dictate how we feel within ourselves. I don't have to deal with work anymore and we've been jus' cruzin ever since. I don't have to fix anything, literal or otherwise. My wife and I live a relatively simple life and we are true partners, but deep inside, I'm not answerable to anyone except myself. So, how's that going? Well, since I came out to myself, which happened before I stopped working, I have felt an inner glow that was never apparent before. It is permanent now and it sustains me. How? Effed if I know! All I know is that even if I have down days, and there certainly have been a few, my heart, mind and soul are still smiling. I think it comes from a realization that I am finally happy just to be me.

      I had to look this acronym up.  That certainly has never been part of the LGBTQ community!  Politicians simply attempt to use peoples disgust to create the hate or fear they can "fight" against to win support and power.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Congrats, @April Marie on your new fur kid. As the mom to a 1 yr old fur kid. I know what you are going through. LOL.   Back to work after a good weekend. I hope that work doesn't drag my good weekend down. However, I believe it is wishful thinking. I will do the best that I can, if that is not enough. They can jump in a fing lake.   I have another week until my therapist appointment. So I hope I can make it. it seems my depression is getting worse. Can it, is there something lower that major?  Especially when dealing with work. So, I know I have to get out of there. I have put in for the parts at the local GM. Probably, be like Ford. OH, well nothing ventured nothing gained.      Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs, Kymmie

      If what you mean by defemination  is that folks are doubting or refusing to believe your feminity i'm sure others here have felt that.  I know i have in the past.  It seems to be part of the continuous attempt by some to see us all quietly hiding in the closet.   I don't fit in there anymore.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • Mirrabooka
      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.
