    Reminder that 80% of people don’t read past the headline - most people will believe the lie even if they only see it here. News outlets know this, so the headline should be “Trump breaks the law and commits election fraud with false claims about payments to voters” or whatever.

    You know what’d be better? Electing DSA candidates all across the country, taxing all the billionaires and megacorps, and redistributing that wealth unconditionally to everyone as $5000 UBI checks every year

    Same place the tariff rebates came from: nowhere.

      Not to mention all the tariffs collected by him don’t add up to 250m americans x $5000, not even close. In a way, I hope the americans believe him, so that they don’t give the rest of the world any hope that the US can be reasonable, but on the other hand, jesus f christ we’ve all had enough of the sweaty tangerine

    It reminds me of Batman the first Tim Burton one in 1989, in which the Joker promises to give away a ton of money in the town square (so he can kill them all with poison gas).

    I’m also reminded of the anti-union signs that suggest getting a game console instead of paying union dues.

    Probably coming from all the taxes they’ve taken from us and which we will have to pay back next year anyway, so this is just a gimmick for his idiot followers again.

        Oh you’re def right about that. Trump would much rather start WW3, hide away in his golden sphere, and send everybody else to fight rather than do anything that would actually benefit anybody but himself.

      Definitely, totally not because they’re giving socialism to red states from blue states. Totally not that.

      Oh, just another Trillion to the debt of $40T… no big deal, right? Man, who do we have to write to write off that debt? No one is buying it, and we have to buy it home. It’s an ouruborus of debt at this point.

    Will Mexico pay for it, too?

    … by the way, how are you doing on releasing those tax returns? Any progress?

    Also, I’m still eagerly awaiting your massive health care bill that you said you’d release… 10 years ago.
