Me too. He jut sold out the American people.
That is not what happened.
President Trump invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill, allowing him to redline areas that must be addressed.
This sends it back to Congress forcing them to 1) repeal 230, 2) cut out the wasteful spending, 3) add $2k.

Congress will probably try to fuck the people and ignore the ICA of 1974.
President Trump better have some leverage to get them to not renege.
The left is currently waging a massive disinformation campaign online claiming that Trump caved to erode his public support even among his most fervent supporters.
Look at all the facts before falling for this bullshit campaign.
Congress has enough veto proof votes to pass this abomination of a pork bill.
President Trump vetoing it would accomplish nothing.
Him pocket vetoing would be even worse and it would trigger a government shutdown. Trump would be unilaterally blamed as turning his back on people who need financial help.
Trump is obviously making some big move on January 6th.
This is why there is currently a disinformation campaign to erode all of his public support by then.
I am saddened deeply to see even some people here fall for this disinformation campaign without actually assessing the only options Trump has regarding this cancer of a COVID stimulus bill.
I get that he is trying to maximize support on the 6th, but America is being looted with his signature. Although, there might be a timeline where red pilled lefties like Jimmy Dore or Glenn Greenwald march with the red hats, even if they won't wear one. Still a big Fuck.
This.
It's amazing how many people just completely fail to grasp how big a deal it is that the left absolutely controls the media (traditional/social).
Anything Trump does - anything - will be spun to hurt him, and help Biden. Any course of action the man takes has to be prefaced by first thinking - how can the media use this to hurt me? All these things people come up with, where they think, "How can he be such a traitor! Why doesn't he just do x??!!". Those things all sound great, and feel great, but the media are the ones that control what the mob knows/thinks. They are just going to portray things in the way that hurts him, and makes him look bad.
Until the left's control over the narrative - traditional media, social/internet media, and then education - is broken, I don't see how any victory is possible. How can anyone win in a system where your opponent is basically allowed unfettered control over what the majority of public sees, and how they will view it?
It's not just that, either. It's the fact that, with everything that has transpired over the last five years, the lesson they have learned is what? That they don't even need to bother to pretend to be even remotely unbiased anymore, and nothing bad happens. Think about what they've done over the last five years.
They have the ability to make it so that not a single day can go by without the public hearing something bad about you. Seriously. Not a single. fucking. day.* If you are not one of their anointed, they can make it so that there will be a near constant cloud of "bad" surrounding you at all times, and regardless of people remembering the specifics, they will have that general negativity in their minds when they next go to the polls.
On top of that, they have the ability to make it so that, whatever ridiculous crap their side pulls, it will either get near zero coverage, or it will always be spun in a way that minimizes the damage.
Finally, they have now learned that they can basically outright cheat, and that anyone not already firmly part of the right is never going to hear about it, and - even if they do - they won't care enough to demand anything be done about it - because they are: 1. in total control of how news is presented to the public. 2. in total control over whether or not the story is presented to the public at all
For me, I think people would be best served now by dedicating all their rage, all their ire, towards the target that is most responsible for things being like they are: the things that allow the left to indoctrinate/control the public. We need to go after the media, go after the internet companies, and then - ideally - drive the left out of education, or - at the very least - make it much more difficult for them to push their politics in schools. If people on the right just keep being complacent, and just accepting leftist control of those 3 "institutions", we're fucked. It's that simple. You cannot win when your enemy gets to indoctrinate two thirds of the public.
I'm not surprised to see it though. People around here barely like him in the first place judging by how many spineless losers need to preface comments by saying they don't like him.
Honestly, there's no reason to side with anyone here anymore because they simply refuse to take a stance.
Yep, the bill is signed. The treasury raided. China has won. No amount of t/d delusion is going to change the darkest of realities we now live in.
