"I'm taking action to provide an additional or extra $400 a week and expanded benefits, $400. That's generous but we want to take care of our people," Trump said at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump said the federal government will pay 75% of that, but he did not outline where the federal funds would be coming from. link --- States can count their existing payments toward their $100 match of unemployment benefits under the plan announced by President Donald Trump on Saturday, according to a Department of Labor guidance obtained by CNN. Jobless may only see $300 federal boost under new Labor Department guidance
Ready! Fire! Aim! Are you sure that "Ready!" should be first on that list?

"So now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal," the president tweeted Monday. "Amazing how it all works, isn't it."
"Where have they been for the last 4 weeks ...
link Hmmm. They were meeting with your negotiating team. If you had been paying attention, you would have known that fact. He knows his base and other Pelosi haters aren't paying attention, so he can say whatever he wants.

Yeah, my son asked me about the tax holiday thing last night - I told him Trump did not eliminate the need to pay the taxes eventually, just delayed when you need to ultimately pay them. I also told him Trump did not have the authority to waive the taxes. He was not happy with me. I think he prefers to think I don't know what I am talking about.

I am against this kind of stimulus, anyway. creating more debt is stifling to recovery.

Their believers lap it up. I seriously don’t know if there is any way to keep the republic together anymore.
Yesterday in Portland where throwing a water bottle or not moving fast enough gets nightly protesters tear gassed, white supremacists were allowed to show up with weapons and beat on protestors with no repercussions.
My father is telling me cities are unlivable because if the lawlessness. A woman from my old homeschool group send me a video of the ‘numerology’ of cotona (adds up to 666) and covid 19 which really means Certificate of Vaccination ID AI. And apparently mom groups are now the biggest pushers of QAnon conspiracies.
We won’t survive this.

President Trump said congressional Democrats don't want to make a stimulus deal ...
Senate GOP leadership, meanwhile, has been working for weeks behind the scenes toward building internal consensus on a scaled-back, or "skinny" proposal ... link So the Democrats won't make a deal with the GOP that can't even make a deal within their own party. Wow.

It will fall well short of that threshold, but McConnell is hoping to get at least a simple majority in favor of it so he can argue that Democrats are acting as obstructionists.
He said on the Senate floor Tuesday that he will schedule a vote this week and indicated to reporters in the hallway that it would happen Thursday.
"Republicans are making yet another overture," McConnell said.www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mcconnell-tries-to-unify-gop/ar-BB18QWeu?ocid=msedgntpMaybe he can get the dealmaker involved...oh wait, he's too busy at a big maskless rally in NC A GOP county chair asked Trump to wear a mask to his rally. Instead, Trump mocked pandemic restrictions.www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/09/trump-rally-masks-nc/So why spend money if the virus is just a sham? Oh wait, election year! Republicans waving that checkbook around.

I'm surprised the GOP doesn't want to flood the economy with a huge pile of money a few weeks before the election.

Once a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" A.J. Muste replied softly: "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me." link

I think it is his LIFE strategy. he borrows to produce a lifestyle that suits him, and doesn't give fuck one if it ever gets repaid.
it is an atrocious way to live. our grandchildren will curse us.

Trump puts pressure on Congress to pass a coronavirus stimulus deal, telling lawmakers to “WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE.” ... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are working toward striking a stimulus deal but have said they still have disagreements. link Perhaps he should have a talk with his Treasury Secretary.

At least he is consistent, run up debt in a place that can’t come back on him to benefit himself. Too bad for him Fred isn’t around anymore and rich enough to buy enough votes.

Will this be before of after Mexico pays for the wall?
"We're gonna take it from China. I tell you now, it's coming out of China. They're the ones that caused this problem."
Asked how this would work, in terms of getting money from the nation, he said: "There's a lot of ways and I'll figure everyone of them out. I already have them figured out."
His comments come amid an ongoing stalemate over a further stimulus package, as talks continue in a bid to reach a bipartisan agreement.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-says-china-will-pay-for-stimulus-bill-theyre-the-ones-that-caused-this-problem/ar-BB1a3Thh?ocid=spartandhp
