Those of us paying attention have long known that the scary killer virus is merely cover for their nonsense, and frankly it's a brilliant strategy.

The essence of terrorism is to strike fear into the populace by whatever means and use that fear to achieve political ends. "Our" government, operating in tandem with the media have created fear far beyond anything we have ever seen in a populace and probably far beyond their wildest speculations and they have used this to enact tyrannical edicts and destroy us as a society.

I once maintained a residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave but the cost to keep it in repair became prohibitive and I abandoned the property years ago.

History buffs seem to have deep pockets for their hobby.

Is there also a veto proof majority in the Senate for this nonsense?

For every person in the US .196 trillion go to the people @ $600 each. (This includes those not eligible for comparison purposes.)
2.3 trillion go to everything else.

Wrap you head around that.

They're laughing their asses off over how easily the proles can be bought off while giving lawbreakers three times as much.

Lesson learned here: One is three times better off if one is a lawbreaker.

They're trying to take away Trump's power to use the Insurrection Act by a passage buried in this abomination:

That's why Vodka Nancy and Schumer were all giddy thinking Orange Man took the bait. They agreed to Trumps idea of a 2000 check. I don't think this bill in any form will be passed. So now dems will blame Trump and Trump will throw it back at them, kick the can again. Trump wants to eliminate all the BS in the bill. I wonder what other strategies the dems and repugs inserted into that monstrosity?
