The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Yeah it's pretty fucking smart, libs are going to whine about it but they're going to be called the Trump checks and that matters in November.
People who will have lost everything by then will really look back fondly on the 1200 bucks they had in their account for a few weeks in April. Election secured.

If you want to make the bet that the electorate is going to have a rational, measured response to this crisis that filters through multiple causal vectors to assign blame on the Trump administration rather than, say, circling the wagons in a time of crisis and investing Trump with the aura of a smart businessman who can make the tough decisions and deliver on his promises (like the checks!), then by all fucking means, my Venmo is open.

his roughly 38% that always supports him will remember that $1,200. The rest? Will be shacking up with their parents looking for work and social programs to get them back on their feet because that $1,200 barely, if at all, covered their rent for 1 month.

Don't get me wrong, I fully expect Trump to win in 2020. But I don't think $1200 will mean jack shit to people by then.

It of course has nothing to do with the actual dollar amount and everything to do with the symbolic resonance of Trump being the one who tried to help but was constrained by the do-nothing Democrats. It's straight out of the Trump playbook of putting your name in gold on a bunch of shitty hotels so everyone thinks you're a billionaire mogul--and it uhh works.

Hey we already have ten coronavirus threads, so they should all be locked except one, and then have a totally boneheaded poll added to it. Right mods? Right?!
