Bitcoin baby! She's moving up! I hope Americans are investing!!

Don-the-con needs votes, who cares if it's enough help..?

& the rest will go to the Trump/Fly rrr Pence campaign

This is for VOTE ONLY, 'IF' (he won't) he should win you can bet he will put a STOP on all Stimulus packages

As long as he’s in a good mood, Democrats should ask do what they really want...

where do i sign?

I thought there was no stimulus, like yesterday. Then there was this morning, then the wasn't again, now there is?

It's a trap and, moreover, congress needs to find out what happend to the 400 billion from the previous stimulus.

This isnt good enough? I’m sick of the Democrats.....if we the people are suffering so should the people we employ...namely the House & Senate. Enough is Enough. TermLimits

As long as it doesn’t contain unrelated inclusions (needs to be stand-alone, as trump suggested in an earlier tweet) I don’t see why they’d deny this. The problem is the partisan bill inclusions that hold things up
