    :a-little-trolling: But we had beautiful stimulus checks didn't we folks? When I was your president, which I still am, I was giving you lots of cash. People, they came up to me all the time "Oh, Mr. President, how are we going to pay for that? Shouldn't those people get means-tested?" And I said, "no." We're not going to do it. When I say 2 grand, you get two grand, not $1,4000 then $600 later. That's weak. Biden is weak, just like his old boss Obama.

    It may look like this administration has failed to handle covid in all the same ways as its predecessor, but have you considered that you're wrong and should be sucking off Joe as way of apology?

    Oh boy, $1400 checks! I bet that pays at least a year's worth of rent for the average American, right? Because millions of people were out of work with no income for that length of time? I'm sure it's completely enough and not an insultingly irrelevant amount of money in context!

    I called up the IRS to ask about the tax refund I'm still owed (which is massive because I didn't get the stimulus so it's supposed to be delivered to me this way) and after about 15 minutes going through the call menu entering govt numbers and picking the right departments I just get told that there's no news about when my refund will be processed and to call back if it's been more then 21 days. Then the machine hung up on me. It's been over 3 months

    I love how they bring up all the student debt Biden cancelled - only to students who went to crooked for-profit "schools" like ITT Tech that went defunct before they could graduate. So basically just a refund to people who got swindled out of a degree.

    Whats that meme? Ya know the one.

    Like the first panel has a hand out of the water like a person is drowning. Then the next one has another hand nearby like its going to help. It high fives the hand of the drowning person. The last panel makes it look like the person have finally succumbed to their fate.

    That article was this meme, but with a whole bunch of words.

    It's really funny how if you look up the Daily Kos founder it lists a bunch of CIA adjacent stuff, but then says he couldn't do CIA stuff because he has something that prevents him from remembering faces. So the obvious solution was to just move him to the propaganda wing instead of operations.
