Kamala Harris aka" the ladder climbing whore", is NOT the vice president elect the election has not been called yet. Did you know she has celebrated Kwanzaa since she was a child? ROFLMAO It hasn't been around that long, and wasn't celebrated in Jamaica plus it was discovered by a child abuser and ex con. You democrats especially you black asses, are so stupid.

Black people have no business with dogs or pets. Hopefully that dog will find a good home with someone else. If I find it you're not getting it back. If black people abuse their children and they do, think about what they do to animals. Their abuse is a power trip for them.

Mad you aren't getting free shit 12:44? Maybe it's time you wen pro with your cock sucking.

1:05 - I know you like to think that people are hurting and out of jobs because of government lock downs....but it's not the case numbnutz. You're assuming people are a)following lockdowns - of which CA is example 1 of the vast majority giving the big ol fuck you to lockdowns and b)people are just dying to get out and dine out indoors and do other shit that spreads highly contagious airborne virus. Fact is, there's a virus spreading uncontrollably and the vast majority of people would just rather not risk getting it, lock down or not. So, fuckface, lots of people need help. $2k probably isn't gonna cut it either but yeah, to 12:44's point, Mitchell could give two flying fucks about anyone but those who donate to him. It's funny, you probably couldn't care less that Mitch lines his donors pockets via policies but when normal average Americans need help, LEGITIMATELY need fucking help, it's the boogeyman known as Socialism. Huge corporate tax cuts and write offs, totally cool. Direct help to working class citizens, Socialism.

Now do us all a favor and go suck a pistol you miserable old fuck.

Now, now @1:15, remember that Republicans can't help opposing anything that will help out the American People, they work for the Rich, and that's the only group they hand our Tax Money to. The very idea of putting some part of our money back into our hands revolts them, tht money they see as "stolen" from their Masters.

A few of them are driven by desperation(Oh shit, I might not get re-elected!) or ambition (Damn "President Ashlik" has a nice ring to it.) and so will say they support ths idea at this point in time, but their core values are basically still Republican, and we are still just the cattle that make this messkeep running in their eyes.

Because no Democrat ever works for the rich you guys!!

Wake us up when your other brain cell starts firing, you naive loon.

^^^Hey, I'm not gonna say Dems don't take money from special interests, all politicians do, but who the fuck is championing this direct stimulus? It sure as shit ain't Republicans. And before you put Trump in that fucking camp, he's only doing this because he's pissed at McConnell for doing the sane thing and saying his bullshit election conspiracy is dead and without merit. This whole thing was Trump's way of saying "fuck you for not pledging your undying fealty to me".

Nice mind reading, Miss Cleo. Did you include the fact that Nancy 'Marie Antoinette' Pelosi deliberately held back a deal until after the election ?

No, no. It can't be. The Dems are just the champions of the workin' man! Just makes you want to sing folk songs or something. Maybe there's one to be written about how the Dems have cluelessly engineered the destruction of the economy by demanding insane lockdowns and other restrictions that they keep getting busted not following.

Nah. Lockdowns clearly don't work. Otherwise Florida would look like silly California.

Lockdowns clearly work. Just look what it has done for the hotel industry here.

OF course shutting down the country and living in fear is great for the American people. This will go nuclear very soon. Time is ticking Kansas City. Find your safe space and stay there. Pray that it's not near any of the ground zeros.
