Not a single one.

What about Dr Seuss and Mr Potato Head?
This is a outrage of epic proportions.

Well, there's about $4B in there for mental healthcare...maybe some of the assclowns, dipshits, morons, and imbeciles who still think Trump is the Messiah can get some treatment, and then they won't have to worry so much about Mr. Potatohead's dick...but like most closeted homosexuals, GQP windbags love thinking about dicks all day, even absent fake plastic ones on toys.

Some more fun today...

Merrick Garland, whose Supreme Court seat was stolen by Mitch McConnell, is the Attorney General as of this morning.

As a man of Jewish ancestry whose family fled fascism in Europe, I suspect he will take a much dimmer view of white supremacy, anti-semitism, and right wing domestic terrorism than did our last Attorney General, who thought he was a wannabee-mob boss's wannabee-consigliere instead of the nation's attorney.

Loomis Moochin Rod. Check. Good.
Extra Tuffs. Check. Good.
Grundies. Check. Good.

Islander. Been there, done that, sold it. Bad. Dumbest and one of the most expensive reels I've purchased. It sucks for mooching and is completely pointless for trolling. Not to mention they are fragile as fvck and not as bullet proof as they should be for the price.

IMO, I'd recommend a good, high speed salt water level wind with a line counter. The gang up in SE Alaska can't be all that wrong, seeing how they mooch all summer.

Let the center pinners and the Canadians stick with the Islanders since they already have a few loose screws.

I have no business getting a stimulus check but since my wife doesn't work outside the house, they are sending me one anyway. So, I'll be donating it to a good cause.

I was gonna donate it to Evo but considering how he's such an asshole to everyone here, he's in the Lost Cause category, so screw that.

Maybe I'll donate it to a couple dinners at Sushi Kashiba.

Can you imagine how much money we would all have if all those loudmouthed right wing Socialists would hurry up and secede?

They are going to be really surprised when they find out how much it costs to pay their own way.

I'm thinking the Willie could use some sprucing up, new vinyl might be in the future.
Maybe air rides.

Buying more GameStop stonks. And also more bass gear, ya with me Todd?

Wise investment based on our amazingly not amazing steelhead seasons, I'd say.

Don't forget when you cash your Freedom Checks to thank the organizers that mobilized the black vote in Georgia for the Senate special elections there...those elections are the reason why the Senate was able to pass this bill...

Without a single Republican vote

...in spite of 76% of voters supporting it, including 60% of Republican voters.

https://morningconsult.com/2021/02/24/covid-stimulus-support-poll/

These are the same Senators that completely fukked you with their tax cuts, almost all of which went to, and will continue to go to the ultra-rich and giant corporations...yours will be going up soon, thanks to that Trump tax plan.

Now that's some representative government, right there...but by all means, keep voting for them.

It makes you look real smart, and really owns the libs.

Senator Roger Wicker, Senator from Mississipi:

5 days ago:

"It is no surprise that this bill has not earned a single Republican vote,” Wicker said in a statement. “This is no way to govern, and I strongly oppose this legislation.”

Today:

"Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief.

This funding will ensure small businesses can survive the pandemic by helping to adapt their operations and keep their employees on the payroll."

Senator Wicker did not vote for the Covid relief bill, strongly opposed it...and now, since his constituents really need and support it, is its biggest fan after Democrats passed it without his, or any other Republican's, support.

Keep voting for right wing pols that don't give 2many $hits about you...that really owns the libs.

Free money.
Get some.

There's "not free money" that helps people, including your sourpuss ass, and there's not free money that hurts 99% of us, and benefits the 1%.

Choose wisely.

Just kidding. You choose stupidly on the daily, and still will. You should at least feel stupid about it, so I hope you do.

It must have been a very poor piece of legislation. Generally there are a few people from the opposite side that come over to have bi-partisan support. I have not fully explored the details of the bill yet, but I would assume that it actually has little benefit for every day Americans and is stuffed with other items such as big business bailouts, overseas spending, and other items non-covid related.

Instead of providing financial support, it seems the trajectory of this virus has run its course and a much better solution would be to open back up nation wide and allow the economy to recover. The evidence and data from the CDC and WHO are even showing the virus has run its course and we are safe to remove lockdown measures.

Many Doctors and experts around the world in epidemiology, medicine, infectious diseases, public health and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases have all publicly declared and advocated for months now through the Great Barrington Declaration for reduced lockdown measures and have called the lockdown measures "The biggest public health mistake we have ever made." At a minimum this should be open for discussion since the science does not support lockdown measures and the world's leading researchers are challenging the policies of the CDC and WHO.

Sorry your not in the 1% Toff.

You seem angry about it??

Nope, just like poking fun at the bottom 10% that thinks they get to be just like the 1% when they vote for policies that are good for the 1%, and not for them.

It owns the libs, so it's totally worth it.

Sounds like you better get a better accountant.

Try to imagine if trump had actually done something other than promote the spread of Covid, he failed miserably as a President and now, right or wrong.... someone has to clean it up.

Take your share of the blame for this like a man and place the rest where it belongs.

Free money.
Loving it!!!

Well of course it's not free money. It's tax dollars being returned to the tax payers.


Full disclosure, I think there shoulda been some mechanism so those who don't really need it right now (those still employed at their normal salary) wouldn't receive it.

Pretend you are a Wall Street bank that's "to big to fail" and this is a bailout check.

I took some of Trump's free money and sent it directly to Democratic Senatorial candidates in several states, including Georgia. Now, indirectly those contributions are helping millions of Americans, cuz a Republican Senate was never going to pass another relief bill that targeted anyone but the wealthy. The entitled rich can wait for these newly distributed funds to "trickle up."

In other news...I was sorry to hear Major, Biden's German shepherd, had bitten a Biden staffer. I always hoped his "SIC BALLS!" training would be put to use in removing Orangeman from the Oval Office.

Good point.

Or....take your share of the money and love it.

I see you've made your choice.

Have your cake and eat it too.

Not to mention unemployment is great right now too.

+- $1100 a week.

I have no idea how many baseball cards that is.

Damn job keeps getting in the way of unemployment.

Good thing that the unemployed wreck their cars, too.

Buy bubble gum cards, the sugar rush is where the real value is.

Unfortunately for me I get to go to work, too, instead of draw unemployment...I also don't qualify for the Socialism checks, so I'll have to keep stimulating the economy with my own money.

Thankfully I don't seem to run out of things to spend it on.

Hunting, fishing, and girls ain't cheap...but at least I won't have a $24,643 electric bill this month like some Texans.

I don't get a stimulus check and Trump raised my income taxes the last 3 years. I'm sure most have struggled and could use it.

Republicans didn't vote for it but a majority of their base wants the stimulus checks. I don't see them returning their checks to the national treasury either.

But gas prices, lol! [Bleeeeep!] Trump!

I am just a nut hair under the cutoff for the stimulus checks. Financially I am doing well and don't really need the money, however this will offset slightly what will be lost through continued inflation.
