    Yeah, but if what you say is true, that Trump believes that there are lots of illegal ballots for Biden which have been counted, rather than legal ballots for him which have NOT been counted, then shouldn't his request to Rafensberger have been for 11,780 illegal Biden votes to be discounted, rather than 11,780 votes for him be found?

    To help him win Georgia as I said in post #943. And that's not my opinion, that's literally what Trump was trying to achieve! Why the hell would I have an opinion which is different to that?

    Before I answer, do you acknowledge that you're now asking a different question?

    Except earlier you said that it "seems rather far fetched to think that he thinks he hasn't lost and just trolls around." So which is it?

    Are the stimulus checks the only financial relief?

    we need much more, but the $2000 checks were just a easy quick way to get money into the economy, I have no clue why McConnell blocked it

    You asked to rephrase it -because apparently it was all so difficult for you- and so I did.
    And now you're going like as if you did understood it previously but think I haven't rephrased it.
    Right...

    How about you accept I rephrased it, when you can't rethink it?
    Pro tip: stop using covfefe.

    Yes, you DID rephrase it, and as a result of that I now know what you're talking about. So again, earlier you said that it "seems rather far fetched to think that he thinks he hasn't lost and just trolls around." But in a later post you said, "Donald and his supporters still think they won." So which is it?

    What about the extension of unemployment?

    If the stimulus checks were $10,000, would you understand why he blocked it?

    Oh, so you think that everything Trump says is true? He's NOT a pathological liar? :roflol:

    yep, we need that too, at least another 6 months imo, McConnell would block that too - I am so glad it looks like dems gonna win in ga, so at least Republican in the Senate have to vote on it

    it wasn't $10,000, it was $2000 and it had Trump's support - if there was a trillion in there for the rich or the mega corps, McConnell would have supported it

    In my eyes, my dearest Chris, it means the same.
    You asked to freaking rephrase it, remember... so I did. And so I didn't wrote something totally different.

    Your currently position is now:
    you either accept that it means the same, since you could not figure out what I previously ment,
    or you're just trolling around by now claiming you did understood what I previously ment, that I rephrased it for nothing on request, but when I did, claim I have not rephrased it.

    Now given your name, I'll assume that you're an Aussie, like me! So I wouldn't be surprised if you don't follow US politics too closely and as such your answer to this question is NO. Have you ever seen Biden in this setting before?

    Trump doesn't really believe that, but he thinks his supporters will believe it

    My understanding is that unemployment WAS part of this recent bill. Are you saying that it's not?

    Yes, but if it WAS $10,000, would you understand why he blocked it?

    When has he given trillions to the rich or the mega corps before?

    Speaking of the runoff, yes I see that one has already been won by dems, but doesn't that mean that the other one will go to dems too? Can people vote for a dem AND a Republican?

    you asked if it was needed, I said yes, for at least another 6 months, I would have preferred it be $600 again

    no, if Trump and dems gave him a bill with a $10,000 stimulus, I would say let it be voted on, but it was not that much (and I won't even get a check, I just think many Americans need it)

    though I think dividing it over 6 months would be better
