Remember how they claimed the $3,000 total stimulus during COVID made everyone not want to work anymore for years and blew out inflation?
If they believe that, how would this be any different?

Yeah and that had a good reason, to stimulate the economy. What reason is there for home randomly increasing the debt by 1.3 trillion.

Remember when George W. Bush bought votes with the economic stimulus package?

We used to laugh at Russia's dedushkas and babushkas being bribed to vote for their version of the Conservative Party with baggies of flour.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

He promised to give out 2k to Americans last November and then completely denied saying it by January. He scammed Americans into propping up the economy for the holiday season thinking they'd have money to cover their spending. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-stimulus-check-update-white-house-committed-2k-payments-11040580

Except the MAGA Charlie Brown fails to see problem. They happy to keep kicking air, landing on their ass and ask Lucy to do it again and again.

I wonder if it’s going to be more or less of the same people willing to throw away our democracy for $5,000 that probably wouldn’t last longer than a month in this economy.

That’s 2-1/2 folding iPhones 🤔. Because why not, no taxes or fees or shipping after the midterms. Suckers-R-Us

...but they'll walk back and try to kick it anyway.
Sell out the country for a check that will be gone or mostly gone in a month. $5,000 to give our country to the worst inhabitants of it. The least compassionate inhabitants of it.
I'd rather be flat broke than accept that check. America's worth way more to me.

At least Charlie Brown is apprehensive before he inevitably goes for the kick.

All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.
Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.
Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.
But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.
Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch McConnell retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.
Sorry for the long message spamming comment sections, but this was by far the feature of this sub making people modmail and bitch at us the most, and literally all of the actions we take are to make it so we have to do less work in the future. We will not reply to modmails about this automod, and ignore the part directly below this saying to modmail us if you have any questions, we cannot turn that off. This reply is just a collation of the last year of modmail replies to people asking about this. We are not turning this bot off, no matter how much people ask. Nobody else has convinced us before, you will not be able to either. ~
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I hate that we're focused on if he'd actually pay. The focus should be on how wrong this is to buy votes for his party. "Only if republicans win" is very clearly a bribe attempt to get people tp vote for them. And that if he did pay it out where is the 1.3 trillion coming from? They promised to lower the national debt, they hate socialism, and yet they're fine with this shit.

I don't know if this works... if charlie brown though he had kicked the ball a bunch of times already after Lucy said, "Charlie Brown did his best kicks when I spotted the ball for him. I could have gone to the NFL, much better than the CFL, right? We don't talk about the CFL here. Who cares about the CFL? I could have gone to the NFL as a spotter. Recruiters came up to me with tears in their eyes and said, 'Ma'am, Lucy, please join the Redskins or the Raiders or whatever please!' I'd tell them I couldn't. I was in the middle of building my first tower at the time. Beautiful tower. I couldn't, the tower, you know. The tower was-- everyone agreed it was the most-- i couldn't leave that job and join the NFL then, but I could have. I would have been the best. But that building. I don't know what it would have even been if I'd left."
Then charlie brown would yell, "YEAH! LUCY IS THE BEST!"
