    Pretty sure he promised 2k checks if the boys won in Georgia.  Although 1400 and 600 does equal 2000 dollars, neither of those things is a 2000 check.   Don’t start by breaking promises 
    Seriously? 1400 + 600 = 2000 (undisputably). What promise was broken? 

    Has anyone here ever heard the expression 'great is the enemy of good'?

    Technically we got 1800 under the last administration, so 1800 plus 200 also equals 2000. The point is dont come out of the gate trying to revise the story.  The dems were fighting for 1400 additional in the previous bill under the old administration. “If you send Jon [Ossoff] and the reverend [Raphael Warnock] to Washington, those $2,000 checks will go out the door, restoring hope and decency for so many people who are struggling right now,” Biden said. Many things could have been said, for instance if you send Rapael and Jon we will send out an additional $1400 check to help and I doubt anyone would think it is a big deal.  I'm not going to just give the guy a pass because trump was the absolute worst.

    I get it I'm very happy today, celebratory even.  Someone decided they were gonna pull up my post from the 14th of January :o  and try to dunk on it rather than celebrate like the rest of us.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have commented on this issue today.  Today is a big win for the US and its citizens whether they know it or not.

    to be perfectly honest, I thought the $1400 was disingenuous. it wasn't paraded as a cumulative amount; it was explained as a $2000 payment.

    and what the fuck is a $2000 payment going to do anyway. sure, it's something. people need recurring payments to get through.

    Someone talk to me about the keystone pipeline: good? bad?  Canada seems pissed that Biden stopped construction of it.  
    The right is saying that already on day people are losing jobs under Biden's presidency.

    about halfway through, and i already know: bad. very bad. 

    but you know....JOBS. 

    Leading climate scientist and former NASA researcher James Hansen has warned that fully exploiting Canada’s tar sands reserves would mean “game over” for our climate.

    I agree that it was an environmentally bad project from the get go, but unfortunately to cut it at this point is a huge waste because a lot of the infrastructure is complete and it means hundreds of millions in lost capital, especially for Canada. It is better than OPEC oil, but that's a low bar to beat and there should have been alternatives to a major planet killing oil pipeline. Now you just have conservatives rallying around this as Biden cutting jobs and not caring about the working class while environmentalists cheer. Biden will take the hit publicly for this no matter what he does. He'd need to broker an alternative, but I don't know if one exists.
    It's a hopeless situation...
