Dumb is an understatment. There is gonna be ANOTHER damn government shutdown in 5 days if this doesn't get signed. Like I think people here are super optimistic about the 2K checks without seeing the other consequences of what this actually is trump being a little bitch because McConnell said Biden is President-elect. And now people will suffer.
He’s alienated US allies, overseen policies that have stuck children in cages, pardoned war criminals, degraded US worldwide hegemony to be filled by dictators, engendered dangerous neo nazis and white supremacists and massively bungled a deadly virus outbreak through his constant and repeated denial in the face of all science and medical advice leading to the deaths of over 300,000 Americans.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah that went fucking nowhere.
It might be the most Trumpian part of his tenure, that self-proclaimed best bestbestiest best builder Trump lost his Wall to McConnell and his Infrastructure Week(s) to literal torch-carrying Nazis he personally emboldened.
see the thing i don't understand about these sort of descriptions is that any human being that isn't a psychopath or sociopath would have probably committed suicide or attempted it at being accused of a quarter of those crimes. But Trump demonstrates little to no hard feelings over any of it.
Aaaaannd the defense bill has been veto'd despite it passing with a veto-proof majority in both chambers, now forcing GOP Congressmen to choose between defense funding or to stand with Trump.
Trump's committed to playing the loser until the bitter end, I see. Question is how much damage is the GOP going to incur in the process.

the real question is how much is being paid for the administration of the vaccine and distribution.
its good that they had as much as they had in place given this administration but this should have all been fucking "militarized" and fucking made into a massive effort with factories converted and running full tilt across the country. This is why we have government.
Defense Production Act should have had 20x as many production plants set up by now and a massive distribution plan set up by the greatest logistics organization in the country, our military.
Optics would have been shit but, not like they are not fucked right now anyway.
2 billion dollars spent on vaccine while we have no problem throwing another 30 billion at airlines so their execs get paid. sigh.
then again we can't even keep toilet paper in stock so.....we've come a long way since WW2 haven't we
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
2008, which Bush was able to do in 8 years, was the old "worst year for America".
Trump outdid Bush in 4, and the US declined a LOT more in 2020 than it did in 2008.

I agree 100% with the way you wrote this. I don't think so. But in our current political environment, there is no way to know just what is going on in the back rooms.
Warp speed???
umm for a turtle maybe?
WTF are they doing?? They should have had massive administration places set up in oct-nov......ready for start in December!!!
How fucking hard they are fucking this up.

The CDC said just 1,008,025 shots had been administered as of Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET.
That’s roughly 19 million doses shy of earlier projections for December.
It leaves public officials a little more than a week — about 8 days — to try to close that gap.
The U.S. would need to vaccinate more than 2.1 million people per day through Dec. 31 to meet its goal. Two vaccines – from Pfizer and Moderna – have been authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S. has shipped a total of 9,465,725 doses across the nation, according to CDC data.
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
The Trump administration right now seems to be stuck in the deepest mire of crazy with everything being more moody than ever if anything this might be part of the fit Trump is throwing. The right wing media is attacking republicans for not sticking up for Trump and that's all he watches.
I'm 100% convinced of the pee tapes. Like Trump is the most bitter spiteful bitch ever, to every single person who ever dare say anything against him, except to putin, who is the sole exception who congratulated Biden, than hacked the shit out of our govt, and Trump still defending him, like the bitch he is. Putin has some real serious shit on Trump, pee tapes and who knows what else, I can not think of any other explanation.

CDC projections, have been kind of a joke since the beginning of covid. It's kinda mixed though, some places are going real smooth in their distribution, others are having some difficulties.
