So basically you're an internet tough guy. Of course we knew that already.
I don't celebrate Ishtar.

But the cure is worse then the disease
Do you go to church?
church has nothing to do with religion anymore
the living saints are mostly self-appointed.
Since the time of Christ, there have been very few Christians. Piety is rare, the pose is common.
If you want to pray, go to your room and close the soor.
It'll be interesting to see what's in this and what was left out from the one before.
- $1200 checks to many Americans.
- $357B loan program to small businesses.
- $500B fund for industries, cities and states.
- Massive boost for unemployment insurance
- $130B for hospitals
“After sleep-deprived nights and marathon negotiating sessions, we have a bipartisan agreement on the largest rescue package in American history,” Schumer said. “This bill is far from perfect, but we believe the language has been improved significantly to warrant its quick passage.”
Schumer
Pelosi/Schumer wanted:
-$300M for public broadcasting
-New tax credits for wind and solar
-Green New Deal standards on airlines
-Federal takeover of elections
Yikes.
Thank you Nancy
Hopefully they got mail in vote in there too, considering this pandemic.
What's does the Treasury slush fund looks like? Anybody has text to the legislation yet?
Never thought you were such a fan a socialism.

In the final measure, lawmakers agreed to a significant expansion of unemployment benefits that would extend unemployment insurance by 13 weeks and include a four-month enhancement of benefits, officials familiar with the unfinished agreement said. Democrats said that it would allow workers to maintain their full salaries if forced out of work as a result of the pandemic.
In the interim, lawmakers also agreed to provide $1,200 in direct payments that would apply equally to workers with incomes up to $75,000 per year before phasing out and ending altogether for those earning more than $99,000. Families would receive an additional $500 per child.
After complaints from Democrats, a $500 billion fund — $425 billion for the Federal Reserve to leverage for loans in order to help broad groups of distressed companies and $75 billion for industry-specific loans — will now have far stricter oversight, in the form of an inspector general and a 5-person panel appointed by Congress, lawmakers said. Companies that accept money must also agree to halt any stock buybacks for the length of the government assistance, plus an additional year.
Democrats also secured a provision that will block Trump family businesses — or those of other senior government officials — from receiving loan money under the programs, Mr. Schumer said in a letter to Democrats.
Both Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Schumer, on separate calls laying out the deal for their Democratic colleagues, said they had secured $130 billion for hospitals, $55 billion more than originally agreed to, people familiar with the calls said, as well as $150 billion for state and local governments.
The agreement also includes $350 billion that would establish lending programs for small businesses, but only for those who keep their payrolls steady through the crisis. Small businesses that pledge to keep their workers would also receive cash-flow assistance structured as federally guaranteed loans. If the employer continued to pay its workers for the duration of the crisis, those loans would be forgiven.
Lawmakers in both chambers have also acknowledged that it is likely other legislative measures will be needed in the coming months to counter the consequences of the pandemic.

Freedom bucks the sequel
Props to Mnuchin for doing the unthinkable and negotiating back to back bipartisan deals in a matter of weeks, tbh
So in other words: GOT'EM!
