Are they still taking new members there? With the influx of new gun owners, at what point do they become "full"?

And there will be a NEW bill with the bump up from $600 to $2000. So can Trump just sign that one, and let the other two die on the vine?

After Trump's release of that video, Pelosi agrees to bump the $600 up to $2000, like Trump asked for. But, she made no mention about cutting out any pork. CNBC Now @CNBCnow UPDATE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she agrees with Trump’s call for $2,000 payments. “Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!” she tweeted. 9:50 PM · Dec 22, 2020

Everyone should watch that 4 minute video. He seems to have grown a pair, and thrown down the gauntlet to Congress. Question is, who blinks first? People are PISSED at all the Pork in this Bill, and how the American citizens are getting screwed, compared to all the other countries with $600, of crumbs. Trump wants $2000 per person, or $4000 per couple. What will congress do?

These memes write themselves:

Only 6 patriots in the Senate: 92-6 final Senate vote post clerk clarification. The 6 no votes: Republicans: Blackburn (TN), Cruz (TX), Johnson (WI), Lee (UT), Paul (KY), Scott (FL). That’s your list of patriots y’all; in it’s entirety.

This Bill is an even BIGGER disaster then I thought originally, and will push the country even further into the Red. 9 months of dicking around, and no one reads it before voting on it???? WTF!! 900 Billion GREW to $2.4 TRILLION!! ....."Lawmakers got their first look at the text of the bill, almost 5,600 pages long, only hours ahead of vote. While several groused that was not nearly enough time to review its contents, most lawmakers were relieved to wrap up the coronavirus deal, almost nine months after the $1.7 trillion CARES Act was passed in late March. Warren Davidson @WarrenDavidson We can expect a vote on a 5,600 page bill this evening. Can anyone read 1,000 pages in an hour? Asking for a few friends on the Hill and the American people. 2:53 PM · Dec 21, 2020 In addition to the almost $900 billion in stimulus spending and tax breaks, the bill includes annual funding for federal agencies totaling $1.4 trillion, and a tax section with about $167 billion in extensions or revivals of temporary tax breaks and and clean energy-related tax provisions, for a rough total of about $2.4 trillion. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/party-leaders-begin-sales-pitches-on-coronavirus-aid-deal-ahead-of-monday-votes-11608517129?mod=mw_latestnews

Well, looks like it's another one of Pelosi's fiascos... Anyone remember this: House Passes 5593 Page Stimulus Bill Without Anyone Having Read It In the immortal words of Nancy Pelosi: "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what's in it." Because, as Utah Senator Mike Lee so rambunctiously pointed out tonight, the bill is so huge that Lee said it will take three hours just to print out. And they’ll still have to vote on the bill tonight. It’s unreal. Lee noted that "this is by far the longest bill I've ever seen," and added that members won’t be allowed to amend the bill in any way: Here’s the really sad thing: we’re being told that there will be no opportunity to amend or improve it. As a result, nearly every member of Congress - House and Senate, Democrat or Republican - will have been excluded from the process of developing this bill, which will cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars. This process, by which members of Congress are asked to defer blindly to legislation negotiated entirely in secret by four of their colleagues, must come to an end. And, there was a time that hypocrite Pelosi believed that: What a ****.

This is probably equal to only a few strips of bacon: Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Democrats send $600 in "stimulus" to you but they're sending: $130 million to Nepal $135 million to Burma $85.5 million to Cambodia $700 million to Sudan $1.4 BILLION to something called the "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act" What an absolute disgrace. 4:28 PM · Dec 21, 2020

Not so fast, grasshopper... Pelosi has a plan: ...."House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the plan a “package that delivers urgently needed funds to save the lives and livelihoods of the American people as the virus accelerates.” They called the plan inadequate and noted they would soon push for more relief spending after President-elect Joe Biden takes office on Jan. 20. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/20/mcconnell-says-congress-has-agreed-to-900-billion-coronavirus-stimulus-deal.html This country is sooooo screwed. Not only was the budget in the hole for an additional Trillion deficit last year, these pandemic relief bills tacked on over +$3 TRILLION on the last Bills, plus another Trillion with this one.... and still going... You waana puke, go look at this link. Right now, each taxpayer in country owes $220,130. Ya got that in your checkbook, Trump needs some money, cut him a check. https://usdebtclock.org/

I believe he already has a job from Joe - the Ambassador to China.

Just don't spend it all on ammo! ...."Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday that the government would begin to send out $600 checks to millions of Americans next week. “People are going to see this money the beginning of next week,” Mnuchin said, in an interview on CNBC. And here's the best part, Schumer is making sure all his "friends" are getting checks too! Michelle Hackman @MHackman Family members of unauthorized immigrants are now eligible to get stimulus checks under the $900 billion deal reached last night. That eligibility is retroactive, so adults excluded last time could get up to $1800 now. 10:55 AM · Dec 21, 2020

If your truly concerned about where the dollars go, maybe do what we do, and donate actual food instead. We regularly buy extra staples when grocery shopping, and deliver bags of food directly to the food pantry all year long. This way, the food is ready to go to the needy, and there's no concern the administration staff will misuse the dollars.

I run an ad-blocker (Ad blocker Plus), and not having any problem.

I'd show you my shocked face again, but it's really getting worn out. Know all the recent reports of NEW cases? Looks like many could be false positives, and WHO confirms it. Hmmm, who here was warning about false positives??? WHO (Finally) Admits PCR Tests Create False Positives The “gold standard” Sars-Cov-2 tests are based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR works by taking nucleotides – tiny fragments of DNA or RNA – and replicating them until they become something large enough to identify. The replication is done in cycles, with each cycle doubling the amount of genetic material. The number of cycles it takes to produce something identifiable is known as the “cycle threshold” or “CT value”. The higher the CT value, the less likely you are to be detecting anything significant. This new WHO memo states that using a high CT value to test for the presence of Sars-Cov-2 will result in false-positive results. While this information is accurate, it has also been available for months, so we must ask: why are they reporting it now? Is it to make it appear the vaccine works? The World Health Organization released a guidance memo on December 14th, warning that high cycle thresholds on PCR tests will result in false positives. Of course, none of this is news to anyone who has been paying attention. That PCR tests were easily manipulated and potentially highly inaccurate has been one of the oft-repeated battle cries of those of us opposing the “pandemic” narrative, and the policies it’s being used to sell. Many articles have been written about it, by many experts in the field, medical journalists and other researchers. It’s been commonly available knowledge, for months now, that any test using a CT value over 35 is potentially meaningless. Dr Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR process, was clear that it wasn’t meant as a diagnostic tool, saying: with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.”

A comment from that video: Jean Paul Jean Paul 13 hours ago It’s not being cheap...it’s being fiscally responsible ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are people who make $30K a year who become rich, there are people who make $300K who are flat broke. That comment on the video above says it all.

When you're desperate.... it's better than throwing rocks...

Nothing but cold rain here. I can't even get poochie to go out in it, and he loves water.

Isn't that what the laser dot does?

Years ago, when my kids were in their late teens and early twenties, I had to beat them multiple times upside their heads, to point out how all the ATM fees added up. This was before plastic was accepted so widely in the 7-11, gas stations, fast food, etc,. so cash was still king. They would constantly run to the ATM, and get forced to take out $20, even if they only wanted $5. So, first, having the extra cash meant they would blow it. And, instead of waiting to get to their own bank, they would use a non-network bank for the ATM, and get hit for extra fees. Getting nailed for $3 every time you took out $20 really added up. It took multiple beatings until the point hit home that swiping their debit cards isn't easy and magic money.

That's one thing that drives me nuts. Watching someone in Wawa using their debit card to swipe for a $1.50 bottle of Coke. They carry zero cash. I always carry cash, and use it for most of the smaller purchases, Wawa, Chinese food, Pizza, fast food, local businesses, etc. I use my CC in places where there could be a chance of compromise. It's too easy to just "Swipe and Run". Very few thinks about monthly budgets and spending. It comes down to when the bank account is empty, they stop spending until the next paycheck gets deposited. The simple fact to financial security, which very few practice, it to pay your self first, pre-tax, and stick at least 10% into a retirement account. Then, post tax, have 10% automatically deposited in a savings account, separate from the checking account, so it doesn't become tempting to spend. Then spend the rest on your monthly crap. If everyone followed that SIMPLE plan, their lives would be so much better.

I use strictly my CC for any purchases, for the credit protection from that bank. I don't even remember the last time I used my debit card, except for getting cash at the ATM. Exactly what we do. We pack tons on the CC each month, to gain air miles or points, and pay it all off at the end of the month. We gain a ton of free bonuses, just for buying all the necessary monthly crap. The only time I let it ride is if I get a 0% deal on a major purchase, and pay it down. I never pay interest. I also go one step further, and automatically send a payment weekly to the CC company, to keep paying down the monthly amount, instead of remembering to make one big payment at the end of the month.

I wonder how many of these people below have $500 saved up for an emergency? According to a recent survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, of the estimated 17 million adults who are not current on their rent or mortgage payments, a whopping 33% of them could be facing eviction or foreclosure in the “next two months”. To get a closer look, here are the top 10 metro areas with the highest percentages of people who will potentially be facing eviction or foreclosure: Look at #8 in that list. On the other end of the spectrum, there are states that appear to have less need for concern, as the percentage of people likely to experience foreclosure or eviction in these places stands between 15% and 20%. However, this level of relative home security is the case for only Delaware, Vermont, Maryland, and Utah. Everyone else is floating in a proverbial gray area, between a majority who may still be in their same home after Christmas, and those who may need to find a new place in the months following the holidays.
