He randomly brought it up like 2 times, and none of them were this week. He's already forgotten about it.

Yeah, I'm wondering why we're still talking about it even.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

For some reason the media still need to pretend he's a sane man making rational policy decisions.

Because people like my hrother are and I had to explain that it be 2 trillion to even pay and where would it come from. He still seriously waiting on his Doge check.

And when democrats be elected he will probably blame them for never getting either check.

"I don't care about you, I just want your vote"

Link for those who have forgotten that this was a literal quote. Was it just a joke? No. It's a joke, AND ALSO it's how he actually feels.

Have we still not got it straight that his worshipers don’t care that he thinks they’re useless dipshits?

[-] santa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ffs. Blurring reality and doublespeak continues…

That's not what "gimmick" means. They mean "Lie"!

He also framed it as “if they win”… so seems illegal.

If you vote for me and we win, I’ll give you 5k.

Note: And it’ll likely only be certain states.

If you're stupid enough to believe that you'll get a check you might want to sit this election out

It's like a billion plus in discretionary funding they have no idea where to get.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!
