    doing impeachment which can happen at literally any time before passing the stimulus check which is needed asap is pretty depressing

      Doing impeachment which still almost certainly won't get the threshold of votes needed in the Senate is called "looking like we're trying to do our job while not doing our job"

      noooo see the democrats need to finalize the bill in the house first. the impeachment is all happening in the senate. so its actually not holding anyone up at all.

      wait im just now getting word that house democrats had a fucking while to create a stimulus check bill

        for the bill to pass more quickly, the senate could be writing a bill with the same/similar language as the house but they are impeding themselves with impeachment trials instead

        its a failure of the entire congress

    My $600 lasted like 3 days, we bought groceries, gas for my car, and payed off my car insurance. So no, you MOTHER FUCKERS it can't.

    I literally don’t even have a single funny to say about this. What the fuck?

        The $600 passed in half the time. Fuck these fucking clowns.

        Remind every person you know who is out of a job that US politicians are deciding whether or not they deserve to see any benefit from THEIR OWN TAX DOLLARS.

      This much worse on a very, very deeply frightening level when compared to 2008, unfortunately.

    Can't wait to receive my check in May and be denied any further assistance because "hey the vaccines are probably widely available by now everybody back to work and return to normal".

    well I think a banana costs about $10, so I could buy 60 bananas to last 3 months, meaning 5 bananas a week. that is more than enough bananas. personally, I would want tiramisu or maybe a toasted club sandwich sometimes, instead of all those bananas. so yes, $600 would be more than enough these sorts of people.

    This would be funny if it wasn't so rage inducing. Almost one more month before they start to provide a vastly insufficient amount of money to people. Meanwhile the pandemic is still in full swing.
