House passes bill to increase stimulus checks to $2,000
The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, since Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has not indicated if he will bring a vote to the floor.

"The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday voted to pass a bill to increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000, with 275 members voting for the bill and 134 voting against it. The bill received the needed two-thirds majority of the members voting to pass in the House. Senator Bernie Sanders, a supporter of $2,000 checks, called for McConnell to bring the vote to the floor. He tweeted that if McConnell doesn't bring a vote to the floor, then he will object to the vote to override Mr. Trump's veto of the defense funding bill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has not indicated whether he will bring a vote to the floor on the larger checks."
Now is your chance Trump -- you talked shit about vetoing the COVID bill and ended up signing it and getting nothing in return -- you risk having your defense spending veto overridden in the Senate -- why not put pressure on Republicans in the Senate to pass the $2000 stimulus stand alone bill??
Even tho Dems originally proposed a $2000 stimulus way back in April or May; you can ignore it and take credit for it and claim it as your idea -- you can say no one ever thought about a $2000 stimulus until you thought of it -- in fact, you can claim you invented the number 2000 if you want -- your supporters will believe it anyway, why not go all out? And if you have those who want to talk about the debt and deficit, you remind them that no one exploded the debt and deficit like you have, in fact, you tell them that you have the best debts, the most beautiful debts -- don't let the Dems stop you from taking credit for and signing their own bill.....you are strong and they are weak, just look at this pic -- that is you sir....strong and powerful...and remember, Daddy loves you...seriously, he really did...
