Six hours later, Trump posted a tweet of his own, calling the bill a “disgrace” and demanding sweeping changes. He made no mention of Mnuchin, and aides say the two have barely spoken since. It remains unclear if Trump will sign the bill or veto it." What I would of done to see Mnuchin face when he saw the tweet

It should be entertaining to see how he'll logically explain his U-turn on twitter. I got this [Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump . 11h . Good news on Covid Relief Bill. Information to follow!] from his twitter account and don't understand it except as a filler-in while another tweet is being worked out for him.

That'll give him two events where he'll retell his story of being robbed of re-election by the cheating Democrats and the unwilling-to-do-enough GOP Senators. The Washington event could turn out bad if the Proud Boys show up to "protest their rights".

They are still not accepting the loss and are jumping on anything vaguely looking like trump lost due to fraud. Could see it been a ugly day in Washington with protests.

aloyisious wrote: » Nancy Pelosi pushing for the $2000 cheque as well with the numbers behind her in the house is a good idea if it creates trouble for Mitch in the GOP ranks V Trump. If the cheque gets voted through, then she'll have split the GOP vote and share any liking from the public who get them in the post. If the vote fails, Mitch gets the blame from the same public as the person who blocked it. It doesn't matter that Trump was for the cheque, he's out of the presidency in a few weeks and won't be able to gain from a successful vote as he has split from the GOP and caused it to split itself on the issue to a degree.

I read a couple of days ago that trump wasn’t aware the Vice President has a role in certifying the election college in the senate in their roles as president of the senate until recently. That to me just shows the lack of knowledge of how the government works.
VinLieger wrote: » I read that once he was told that Pence oversaw it he couldnt grasp why Pence wasnt able to just declare him President. It sounds like the eejits suing Pence have the same lack of comprehension of the constitution and ironically their suit is being brought under the guise that Biden becoming president will be the end of the republic.

aloyisious wrote: » The two Georgian senators have thrown in their lot with Trump, saying they'll vote for his $2000 cheque demand. Nothing surprising there as he's supporting them. They know the cheque move will likely be faced down by the GOP senate majority numbers [unless there's a surprise revolt against Mitch McConnell's control of it] so they can safely make their "protest" move and sit on the fence.
