Holy shit they overplayed their hand and gave Trump the perfect opportunity to get the public’s support going into crunch time.

The retards don't even realise the idiot democrat base PROBABLY isn't dumb enough to take the bait on this one.

They wanted socialism. Payment money monthly forever. Now they get $600.

Why is congress mentally retarded? They're not even trying to bribe their own base anymore??

You're giving the democrat base too much credit. They are all hitting "refresh" on cnn's website waiting to be told what to think about Trump vetoing the bill.

Nah typical say one thing to do the opposite she knows her base will verify if she voted for or against it. See this is one thing twitter could do and I'd like it, politician talk about bill and twitter marks how they voted for said bill. That'd be useful instead of the dispoot labels

At the end of the day AOC is just a pawn. She is a Justice Democrat and reports to men behind the curtains.

Yeah, she got there by answering a casting call. She's definitely a pawn. Some here say that she is a true believer, though, and goes off script from time to time. There might be something to that, although I don't think, like they did, that we could ever ally with her. She's putting our names on lists.

They're just spinning it to blame the Republicans for the $600 amount. Though I did like an analogy Tim Pool gave: Democrats want to burn the house down, Republicans compromise on letting them burn down "just" one room.

I concluded that they are, in fact, retarded. Yes, just a bunch of retarded crooks. Sad. Explains why Joe and Hillary hate black people. Have a very spicy, very not safe for work, and very politically incorrect meme from 4chan to explain this:

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/927/926/daf.jpg

Actual reality is a bit more nuanced. The democrat midwits act like the low IQ retards, while pretending to not be racist. Their actions and things they say would make a stereotyped 4channer proud, but alas, they are midwit crooks, and thus, retarded. They are crooks for fooling the people they hate into voting for them. They are crooks for selling out our country to Chinese communists. They are crooks for trying to steal an election and get away with it, then double down, like nothing happened. The traitors must hang.

Gesirisi 33 points ago +34 / -1

I vape and am just hearing this. These bastards have been attacking this wonderful industry for years. It breaks my heart because in the beginning you had SO many jobs created, SO much creativity and new products, and the prices were incredibly low. The longer it's been around it just keeps getting more expensive and options going away thanks to government. How the vaping industry used to be, is how all industry would be in America if the government would get out of the way and let capitalism work.

17
Wtf_socialismreally 17 points ago +17 / -0

My girlfriend works at a vape shop. She is being hit hard, but able to work a couple days a week.

The only thing that needed to be rectified were bad Chinese-made shit that was causing sickness and popcorn lung, not all flavored juices or all vaping in general.

Pisses me the fuck off, since she's actually at risk too. And all they can give her is $600..and I don't even think she got to claim the other stimulus before.

7
nickangeli 7 points ago +7 / -0

They--the mostly democrat swamps things and swamp hopefuls-- through local municipality bans, the FDA, etc., created a black market with vape products that included oils in liquids that caused deaths and lung injuries. The Chinese jumped right in on this with both feet, by the way.

They then tried to pin this blame on the legit vape industry! All that a sensible person had to do was look at Europe where there was not one death or injury to see what a crock of shit that was.

But it didn't matter to them. They created the panic in the public's mind, wrapped it in the usual 'for the childrun' bullshit, and dealt economic blows to small businesses.

Big tabocca and blue state govoners who have been losing tax revenue due to less people smoking and more people vaping. They would rather you die of cancer than lose even a dollar in tax revenue.

thewashambro 5 points ago +5 / -0

Make sure you don't buy vape oil from other countries, pede. Buying online can get you non-FDA approved chemicals that cause the liver problems from vaping. Also, why not help your fellow americans out anyway? 'Murica!

2
SnowflakeJuice 2 points ago +2 / -0

If they can't tax it, destroy it.

2
nickangeli 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yup and it's a multi-pronged approach to destroy the industry and get people back to smoking or big pharma's offerings: through the FDA with ridiculous cost and nonsense regulations of PMTA, local city bans that have shuttered shops and businesses, and now through the USPS.

3
nickangeli 3 points ago +3 / -0

They're fucking disgusting. This was Dianne Feinstein's pet bill that never went anywhere in the House or Senate. So she snuck it through omnibus.

The swamp things want to destroy an industry that on the American side of things is 99% small and medium sized businesses, and this has been their intent for years now with big tobacco and big pharma.

17
unclebobinator 17 points ago +17 / -0

If USPS doesn't do it UPS and FEDEX will happily take the business.

Weren't they just whining about the USPS going broke? Now they want to take out a revenue stream from them?

Fucking morons are the least consistent bunch ever. But I guess they are woefully consistent at being corrupt as fuck.

3
nickangeli 3 points ago +3 / -0

Fed Ex announced simultaneously they will ban vape related products, even with zero nicotine in them, starting in March 2021. They are cucks. They are with the swamp.

UPS is ridiculously expensive, but even more importantly do not have the network to reach all of America like USPS can. Even Fed Ex used USPS for hard to reach areas. It's an opportunity though and I hope they take advantage of it, or some other entrepreneurs do.

Ultimately this hurts people in remote areas with poor access, or older people who have trouble treking to physical shops, who have quit smoking. Democrats and RINOs are happy to see them go back to smoking.

I’m going to call bullshit on that. For $60+ billion I would fuck hilary. Then I would fund lawsuits against the government/tech/media corporations. Then I would buy an ammo manufacturer, expand and double production. I would start a patriot’s college. I would pay the cost of adoption for patriots that want to adopt can’t afford it. I would keep about $5,000,000 and basically give away the rest to Americans and charities that love this country and want it to succeed.

If you couldn’t take one for the team for the kind of money that can change thousands of lives, or give families generations of breathing room, you aren’t a true patriot. With that kind of money you could run for president yourself and make the kinds of changes that could make not only this country but the world a better place.

I agree but I disagree. Libertarian constitutionalist... I don't want the government handing out welfare to citizens. But as recognizing the war we are in Vs. the deep state, I have become more willing to put those principles aside. Trump needs the public support and this will hopefully get it. But I agree with you on principle.

I do want us to open up, but I'm not exactly a fan of the federal government stepping in and telling states to close down or open up. It should be left up to the local governments.

Of course it sucks if you have a shitty local government, but crawling to the federal government asking for help is a pretty terrible idea no matter who is in charge.

Few Redpills:

  • "needs testing" should only be for private charity.

  • When it comes to government, the law/gov should be like the statue in front of SCOTUS, blindfolded. All citizens equal.

  • This also greatly simplifies and reduces corruption, because the need for paperpushers/bureaucrats that do the "needs testing" go away; as does all the "sign over all your rights" just to do something like apply for FoodStamps.

  • People that don't "need" the benefit, can either not use it (like not walking down the sidewalk, driving down the street, not using the Park, or library); save it; or give it to someone who does (aka turns into Private charity choices that way it should be.)

  • Yes, it is possible to structure things, Strictly-Constitutionally Republican, that are completely opposite of Leftie things like UBI, FreeStuff, TheFED printing presses devaluing things, Obamacare/Single-Payer, etc. and which better accomplish the stated goals of a "minimum standard of living" which no American can involuntarily fall below, which doesn't require "redistributionist/Marxist crap". Thus we can drain the swamp, remove marxism, and MAGA into another Golden Age!

None of the price tags matter until they change the earning brackets back for these checks and remove illegals from the bill.

This bill changed the brackets from 100k to 75k for individuals and 150k to 99k for couples. If they're going off of the 2018/2019 tax returns for these checks like they did in the first one, the price of the checks won't matter. A lot of people who lost their jobs aren't going to get money because of these new brackets and they may add the illegals into the bulk payment structure instead of making them a separate classification.
