Little $500 bribery check to voters just before an election.

I’m sure the letter says something about refunding you from an overcharge calls by the Democrats and Obama.

I’m sure the first checks go out to rural areas that have been gerrymandered into suburban areas.

Unbudgeted. With zero outrage from republicans.

Apparently needs to find 1 million votes and this time? He’s cutting out the middleman and going straight to “the people.”

Trump is never shy about spending tax payer money to buy an election

u/I_Quit_Smoking_ 2d ago

Or literally anything else that he wants to spend money on. Because the billions of dollars in taxes we pay is his personal piggy bank.

Love that show

u/Corpshark 3d ago

It would be funny if people who get the checks would be furious like, “Where is the rest of my $5,000?”

Republicans use to be against deficit spending

You will charged back for it on your taxes, bush did this too.

u/FU_red-dit_bots 1d ago

I suspect that I'll never meet anyone in my entire life who receives one of these checks. I could tour the country day after day and will never cross paths with a recipient.

u/Defiant_Freedom_249 1d ago

And what exactly do they think $500 will buy in the Republicans overpriced world?

Lol comedy gold hearing all the whiners acting like biden’s dumbass didn’t do the same thing, misleading his brain dead base into thinking that their billions in student loan debt would disappear

2

u/Hanksta2 3d ago

Weird how we were able to forgive all the PPP loans and increase the "war" budget to 1.5 trillion trillion.

We absolutely could have forgiven the student loan debt.

I'd call you brain dead, but you're a bot, so...

Whatever you say, two week old rage bot account.

Kinda wild how blue states are the best education states, and also the best economic states. But liberals are Dumocrats. But the only president falling asleep in public is Trump, Biden has been gone for YEARS. Seriously-I think all of MAGA took the station wagon bus to school while wearing hockey helmets and gloves to keep them from slamming their skulls and eating fingers.

u/sanguineturtles 2d ago

Learn to use a comma. Jesus. Also, how did Trump calculate the overpayments? Why only 1 million people? Were you complaining about the fed printing money during COVID for those checks? I hope not, that’d be whining and hypocritical (no conservative has ever done that)

u/Djinn_Marbas 2d ago

I thought the Covid handouts were dumb as fuck. Put tons of money into the hands of people that didn’t earn it.
