I think at this point, he knows he's not going to win. This is the equivalent to flipping the table before walking out the door, salting the land before retreating, etc...
I think it's more like, "Vote for me or else!" and using the stimulus bill to try and get re-elected
Quote:
"I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business," Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon.

Cheeto is gonna face a pile of legal trouble when he is no longer POTUS. I am really hoping that the New York Attorney General can nail him for tax evasion in relation to his real estate business.
Top White House aide Stephen Miller tests positive for Covid-19
Quote:
This month, Stephen Miller, the extremist anti-immigrant Trump adviser who has promoted white nationalist ideas, lost a relative to the coronavirus pandemic, and his uncle tells Mother Jones that the Trump administration is partly to blame for this death.
This is categorically false, and a disgusting use of so-called journalism when the family deserves privacy to mourn the loss of a loved one. His grandmother did not pass away from COVID. She was diagnosed with COVID in March and passed away in July so that timeline does not add up at all. His grandmother died peacefully in her sleep from old age. I would hope that you would choose not to go down this road.
Glosser, a former health professional, posted his mother’s death announcement on a public Facebook page. Responding to the White House statement, he writes in an email, “Keeping the tragic facts about COVID deaths of our countrymen and women, young and old, from the American public serves no purpose other than to obscure the need for a coherent national, scientifically based, public health response to save others from this disease. My mother led a long, satisfying, productive life of family and community service. She had nothing to be ashamed of, and concealing her cause of death to offer ‘privacy’ to me, our family, her hundreds of relatives and friends, does nothing to assuage our regret at her loss.”
Moreover, Ruth Glosser’s death certificate—which her son shared with Mother Jones—lists her cause of death as “respiratory arrest” resulting from “COVID-19.”

have you been following our actual local election in 2 weeks?
same shit different pile going on here too
halting pst temporarily, $1000 stimulus etc
Not exactly the same. The ones here in BC are "campaign promises".
The one that Trump did, a bill has already passed by congress, though will not pass the senate in its current form, and they were already in the middle of negotiating with Trump's team in making amendments so it would pass in the senate, BUT then he ordered his team to stop talking immediately and then say no further talks until the election, and only if he wins.
Does that sound like the same thing?

Maybe if house dems took the $1.6t stimulus offer for actual covid related aid rather than stonewalling for their pet projects, checks would be in the mail.
But no, democrats should get anything and everything their hearts desire... Because coronavirus.

a different system yes but using handouts to get votes
-felt absolutely disgusted after reading this CNN article about 13 militia group members who plotted to kidnap the Michigan state governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Domestic terrorists! It takes a special kind of evil men to think of a detailed plan to kidnap any person let alone a US state governor.

Do these militia morons not realize their rhetoric and actions to “defend the constitution” (not sure why it needs defending as if it’s a mortal being anyway...) are IDENTICAL to radical muslims misinterpreting the Quran????
3 - They take up arms/amass weapons to fight the "big gubmint" or for "proteshun"
4 - "Master Race"
The Michigan Militia in particular became prominent because of its association with Timothy McVeigh (of the earlier mentioned Oklahoma City Bombing) and the perceived association with White Nationalism.
There are legal entanglements that are involved with constitutional rights, states rights, blah blah blah that make groups like this
Spoiler!
not totally il
legal so they are tolerated until shit like this happens. Then there is a conversation, people with more gravy than blood in their veins scream about "Free Speech" and "Second Amendment" blah blah blah. Then it quiets down, everyone forgets about it, and nothing is really solved.
These people will never go away. They believe they are right and will wait for their moment to "strike" at the government, just as we saw in the recent news cycle.
She taught me right from wrong and always told me to stay positive and help others no matter how small the deed - that helping others gives us meaning to carry on. The sun is out today and it's a new day. Life is good. I just needed a slap in the face.
