Nope and small minded people would point to the past as an excuse not to. But, confirming there's an adult leading the white house making the kids on either side play nice. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-signals-it-could-agree-to-more-narrowly-targeted-stimulus-checks/ar-BB1d6V4g?li=BBnb7Kz Yep, Trump wanted the full 2k also. Definitely target the people who truly need it the most and cut the price tag. Win-win. Clearly a huge benefit of Biden's age is he remembers the value of negotiations. Encouraging, let's hope he sticks with it. The answer as to why the Dems needed to do this is contained in the article you linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being, it had nothing to do with senile Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obviously played their hand better. The Trump team's contest went from arcane legal arguments ("state election officials altered voting rules without the express consent of their legislatures") to public hissy fits ("I won by a lot") to fever dream nonsense that was indistinguishable from having our very own Deranged Rhino as his litigation and PR strategist. I've been thinking about this. Biden clearly isn't a charismatic leader; he's no Obama, and not even a Trump. Harris is actually remarkably unpopular. COVID notwithstanding, there was a clear path to victory for Trump if only he'd played his cards right: - recognize COVID as the threat that it was. Adopt a take-charge attitude. "Hunker down, Operation Warp Speed is on the way, I am leading the charge to put this disease behind us." - take credit for the stimulus payments, extension of unemployment benefits, etc. - encourage mask wearing, social distancing, etc., and practice what you preach - focus on how America, under your guidance, is leading the charge to put this pandemic behind us, rather than on blaming China and acting like a victim of China. There was a brief moment -- a couple of weeks -- when Trump's approval ratings ticked up right after he began his COVID Task Force Press conferences, just like Cuomo's did. But then those descended into more crap about how he's not being treated fairly and is a victim of the China Virus, ultimately turning into self-parody with the injecting disinfectant nonsense. And of course, with his own stupidity and arrogance causing him to be hospitalized with the very disease he claimed was nothing to be overly concerned about. He had a chance. He was too dumb, too bull-headed, too narcissistic to ever change tack. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: 1 hour ago, TBBills said: ON THAT TIME MAGAZINE ARTICLE: Time on the vast conspiracy to “save” the 2020 election before it even took place. Looking at the people on the board of the Voter Protection Program,( https://voterprotectionprogram.org/bipartisan-advisory-board/) it is immediately apparent that it is, as expected, a combination of Democrats and of RINOs extraordinaire. The bulk of the latter consist of old Bush and McCain aides, many of whom backed John Kasich in the Republican race in 2016. There is an emphasis on lawfare to make sure that the innovations in voting rules that reduced voting security were defended in court, and on working with attorneys general of the various states. The Republicans on the board are people who have made themselves available to give a bipartisan face to the war against President Trump, and no doubt they were extremely eager to disassociate from him and work to destroy him in 2020. Some people writing about the article indicate that it’s an admission that the participants gamed the election in various ways to enable Biden’s win. But the article does not admit that. It does something far more devious – it claims that everything this group did was non-partisan, had absolutely nothing to do with wanting Biden elected, and was merely for the noble purpose of guaranteeing a fair election and making sure people didn’t believe Trump’s conspiracy claims which they of course knew would be false even before the election occurred. And to do this, they paradoxically helped to relax the election rules so much that actual fraud and/or claims of fraud would be far more likely, and they did that only for the very noble purpose of stopping the nefarious “voter suppression” the GOP was trying to accomplish. You see, all efforts at voter security can be re-defined as voter suppression, and many courts will buy it. This is the sort of thing the left and the current Democratic Party (as well as the self-righteous NeverTrumpers) specialize in. They define Trump as evil and any effort to stop him as noble rather than biased, because they are stopping evil and lies. Still, since the article reads like a confirmation of what the right has been saying all along about the Democrats’ and their allies’ efforts to undermine Trump, why publish it? Read the whole thing https://www.thenewneo.com/2021/02/06/time-on-the-vast-conspiracy-to-save-the-2020-election-before-it-even-took-place/ Sounds familiar ? exactly the sort of false arguments posted above mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
