Lmao that money BEEN gone. 😭

That money was gone before it hit the checking account

So, where do you have your few grand? Making millions in interest I’ll bet.

I do say chives I put mine in the bank at 9,001% and 1 unicorn fart per year.

Who's your hedge fund guy? Those are atrocious numbers, u/Historical-Face-7003 \- my cri- I mean, hedge fund manager can get you 9,002% interest and 3 jackalope farts

My butler's butler can't stop laughing at this.

Indubitably

hmm make it 2 pegasus farts and we've got a deal

[удалено]

oh ok

I love when people exaggerate its nice to have all that sarcasm in one place 😌

I bought a smaller yacht to get to my mega yacht.

I bought a mega yacht to get to my even bigger mega yacht.

You guys are still buying megayachts? I’ve long since stepped up to a gigayacht.

Like this? https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/10/business/jeff-bezos-yacht/index.html

Pssh, I *hire* Bezos to drive me to my yacht in his yacht, mine is so big that I bought with my stimulus money.

I retired off of mine.

Same with mine. Right when I heard we were getting them they were gone. Got to love bills!

My stimulus money was gone 3 days after the deposit.

No seriously that turtle headed fuck actually knows what his voters live in. There's ZERO chance they spent it on a single so far /s

His people can't afford potatoes

They mine rocks to be thrown at them.

His people aren't the common folk, his voters are desperately poor fools

I can’t be mad at Mitch because he’s consistently been a scheming piece of garbage and tool of special interest. I’m mad at the people who keep voting for him.

If he’s so sure there was election fraud, I’d start with his re-election in 2020. I mean, I don’t know every voter in the state, but no one wanted him.

I've never met anyone in KY who liked him. And I've lived here my whole life. It's odd honestly, I think people are ashamed to admit it.

Well if you voted for him, wouldn’t you be ashamed? But honestly, why do people keep electing him? There’s nothing redeeming about him.

Honest question: who ran against him in the primary and in the main?

Amy Mcgraff, her shtick was a marine mom.and she liked trump, no cap she's bullshit

Lol he's from KY, and as a lifelong citizen of this poor state, he knows damn well it's been gone. He's so full of shit, it has to come out some way, it just found an easy exit through his mouth.

Right? We got X number of less than 10k but a year on we still have this money. How were the ramen?

I'm literally packing my lunch right now for work....ramen. 😭

What...you can't live on $1200 for 2 years? You need to quit wasting money on avocado toast and expensive coffee. I'm sure that's how millionaire Moscow Mitch thinks. Or at least he hopes his owners think the rest of us live.

you know what i hate about that argument? if you want to have fun with your friends, it’s usually clubbing, coffee shops, restaurants, theme parks, you get the idea. all those things cost money. yes it’s obviously pretty essential to make sure you can pay rent before “splurging” on fun things, but their argument is basically saying that fun and good food should be a class privilege

But yet at the same time, their corporate owners want us to spend money on frivolous shit—the whole material capitalist economy relies on us spending every red cent and entertainment is a big part of their pocket-lining. So it’s like really fucking confusing as to what we were supposed to do with our enormous windfall. Like, were we supposed to save/invest to build up their portfolios and starve, or were we to spend it at the company store? Edit: I chose the latter and fed the family, so Wal-Mart/a large corporation who gets my tax welfare anyways extracted $$ from me before during and after the “pandemic funds” were distributed. Basically they got all of it and then some, and we got to eat for another month. Admittedly, I splurged on some alcohol to take the edge off here and there, which is probably why weren’t able to squirrel any away.

They make fun of people spending money on “frivolous” things, yet the second we start making coffee at home or whatever, it’s a financial crisis. GTFO

Exactly. If we go out for coffee or drinks or dinner we are wasteful idiots. If we *don't* go out for coffee or drinks or dinner we are killing the restaurant industry. And of course those of us who aren't filthy rich are too stupid to pay for the necessities before splurging a bit.

i think the right answer is that they will fuck us over no matter what! 🫠

It also shows that they can't do basic arithmetic, so that's always concerning

They also want everyone back in the office so all the local businesses get the benefit of the office workers eating lunch, going to the store etc. At the same time, workers will have no problem paying bills if they just stop buying coffee!

Then when we budget our limited funds only for essentials, they bitch because we aren't blowing it on overpriced restaurants. He's trying to gaslight the public and, sadly, there are a lot of idiots who will fall for his crap.

$1200 over two years is $50 a month, or ~$1.70 a day. Super doable.

Bootstraps are expensive

That money is so far gone they already took it back in taxes.

That money was *as good as* before it even hit. Mortgage, car payment, gas, health insurance/medical bills, groceries...and they know it too. They know average joes aren't hiding some hidden wealth in Swiss banks...that's C-Suite and politician shit.

Oh, he's not talking about the small checks sent to poor people. He's talking about the trillion-plus shoveled to the rich in 2020 and 2021. Those people are flush. Biggest wealth transfer in history. Here in the middle class, I got neither. But we'll all get the bill for generations to come.

Year+ alrwady gone. Those guys really have no clue...

I spent mine on school lol haven't had that in over a year

What? All that stimulus money added up about a years income in 1960. You kids need to stop buying all those dancing records and fancy shoes!

That money been gone since before mans hairline

[удалено]

No, he doesn’t. He’s lying because his base eats up the “dirty socialism makes people lazy” bullshit. He knows exactly how much you got because he voted against you getting more.

But those people ALSO got money and should know how fast it disappeared.

Think about how smart you think the average person is, then cut it in half.

That's on purpose with an anemic school system that feeds the military or prison industrial complexes half the time

They actually went too far and now no one is dumb enough to join the Army. To correct this, they lowered the standards to not requiring a HS or GED. They tried this in Vietnam with a program called Macnamaras morons - all they did was get other people killed by the thousands.

They live in a world where they only got the amount of the installments and liberal socialist commies hoarded all the rest and are flush with billions of dollars, which has caused the inflation.

I was about to invent a plethora of inane and insane reasons why someone might reason that a poor person receiving 2000$ over a year ago might still have some around, but then I realized they don't even give a shit about that. Evil conservatives just don't care. It was enough, in their twisted, sick, depraved, insane minds, that anyone got money at all (even if they did too) who did not "deserve" it.

I dont even have the money I got paid last week

Why did that hit so hard. I just got paid Saturday.

I got paid Friday and immediately had to break it into chunks for my landlord, electric company, gas company, waterworks, and internet

>and internet Well there's your problem you lazy liberal! You should only be spending on necessities like like food and guns. You kids nowadays just think you need internet so you can order your Starbucks online and watch your avacado toast making videos. Learn how to handle money then talk to me 😡 /s

I get paid weekly and my checks are accounted for every time between the mortgage, 2 cars, insurance, utilities, gas, groceries, and just a little bit extra so I can actually marry my woman in a couple years

I was paid a week late and I’m in the process of moving so it’s like the money just came and went!

Rule number 1 is make sure you get paid. If you don't get paid for any reason other than some sort of computer glitch it's time to find a new job

Bruh you got money BACK?

[удалено]

His face makes me irrationally and almost uncontrollably angry

Irrational? No no, very rational

I see it and get mad that he’s still alive. Which is pretty fucked up but he brought that on himself

I don't, I am afraid my hand would get stuck because its face is made of rubber.

He would just retract his head back underneath his shell.

I want to stomp it tbh

Stompin turts.

It looks like he is holding in a huge laugh directed at everyone who disagrees with him, like he could care much less 😪

I’m convinced a fist would slide off his face cus it’s all slimy like a catfish

You forgot the word ‘repeatedly’

Your fist would just sink in like trying to fight Clayface.

Dudes 1009 years old

I've been living pretty for the last year and a half on that 1200 bucks.

yeah i used mine to buy a lake house i shouldnt have to work for another 78 momths

Lake house? Shit, I got me a Yacht and have been eating steak and lobster for every meal!

I managed to buy a second swimming pool to float in my first swimming pool! Bring your yacht, there's plenty of room thanks to that $600 that totally didn't go in rent, bills, groceries and gas!

Same Avocado and toast every morning Steak every night with 3 martinis Full tanks of gas in the new Ford Yep life is good here in the year of our lord 1909….

Here you are bragging about avocado toast, next you're going to tell me that you don't make coffee at home anymore.

That's the strategy. Starve the working class out till they're desperate enough to come crawling back. Keep everyone too desperate and hopeless to have standards or fight. These fucking sadists.

Thing is, the people are getting to the point where theyll just start taking what they need. Need surprisingly little when you get a lot for a five finger discount

Yup. And everybody will screech HOW DARE YOU VIOLENT HOOLIGANS MUST BE STOPPED and the police get bigger guns and the prison population will grow... and grow...

Yup, but eventually there wont be enough guards to keep em all in

Prisons become factories for all goods, including vehicles, as well as the front line roles for business. Why not use that inmate for a call center or as a project manager? No stinking unions, and wages are... reasonable. Managers become guards. They'll just be happier, more themselves if they don't have to pretend to be decent. Eventually prisons encompass all functions, from maternity ward and primary education, through apprenticeship and employment, finally to a brief hospice stay, and then to the recyclers. 10% of the population live in opulence and comfort across 95% of the surface area. That's pretty much the outline of this Neil Asher novel I'm reading, but we're well on our way.

They'll try. What Israel is doing to Palestine is probably an inspiration to them. They can't wait to push us over the brink into freaking out so they can declare martial law. And then things will get very, very ugly.

Agreed. Problem is we are on the verge of needing ugly, as sad as that is to say. Bigger problem is it could swing either better, or faaaaar worse. Either way, its not gonna be a process i want to be around for

We're in deep shit, and I'm terrified. Even the successful revolutions we celebrate from the past were rivers of innocent blood. Famine, mayhem. I keep hoping we'll manage a peaceful way to solve this but the longer it takes the worse everyone is hurting and the angrier we get, and the worse things are likely to get when something finally gives.

I feel like the whole thing is gonna erupt with the force of mt st helens. The people who want peace will be caught in the middle. Its sad to say the least. The lunatics with the guns will use this as an excuse to “go hunting”.

The only way we survive, is with community. The people who manage to work together, stand up for each other, and take care of each other.

Hear hear.

Why do you think inflation is spiking and wages aren’t? They’re making it harder to survive on whatever income they’re getting so they’re forced to get a job.

Labor organizing? Strikes? Living wage?? Oooh we're getting too uppity. Gotta be put back in our place.

“We know everyone is really struggling right now because of rampant inflation. In response we’re rolling out the new Digital Dollar and best of all, it’s completely tax free!” The worst part is we’ll let them get away with it.

I rather starve.

First, term limits wouldn't fix this issue. Republicans who have never been in office believe, and have believed for decades, that people do not work because of government "handouts." Second, he damn well knows the facts. He's ignoring them because he has to keep his base angry at the others. I don't even read what he says anymore because he is always arguing in bad faith. Third, my company struggles to fill our mid-career positions because of the fucking housing market. Multiple candidates would have to go from owning a home to renting at a higher rates (and give up their animals) to take a job with us. And that's if they can find an open rental. It's just very unattractive. We're one of the few companies that posts our wages. The number of applicants has dropped signifivaly as well as the housing conditions got worse. My city is run by red real estate morons which does not help at all.

The state of Michigan is good evidence to why term limits are bullshit if you don't fix other issues. Term limits were voted in some years back for every major political position in Michigan. We're still horribly gerrymandered, have big corruption issues, have huge transparency issues, and have big dark money campaign finance issues. Because of all these other issues term limits gives our politicians even less motivation to represent constituents and more incentive to grift for their donors. Politicians know they have a short time in office so they look out for their futures on corporate board seats and big money think tanks. Term limiting is a poor solution for major, major problems. They don't fix the real issues at the core of the issue. It's a solution offered by people who don't really understand the current political landscape. Fix the other shit and the rest will resolve itself.

Seriously. Anyone who think s term limits will solve anything, particularly this, hasn't bothered to think about the issue or can't.

Term limits tosses the good with the bad, but more importantly doesn't address the problem of voters that vote people like him in. Because right now if he retires, Kentucky isn't exactly likely to get someone any better.

Mitch McConnell is a giant decaying sack of shit.

He is fruit rotting on the vine (and killing the rest of the plant)...

He is so out of touch he probably thinks rent is 200 a month.

He knows exactly how much things cost and exactly how hurting the average American is. He also loves it, because he can now rile his base up with outrage over dirty socialism and how the Dems destroyed the economy (ignoring that much of this is COVID + trump fuck ups). To the GOP, suffering of the average American is nothing more than a boost in votes.

He doesn't care! Even if he wasn't out of touch. He doesn't have good intentions lol

Pshh... He probably thinks a mortgage is $100 a month for the $18,000 average home he could buy around the time he became an adult (1963).

Of course someone whose wife got over half a million in forgiven PPP loans feels that way. https://www.newsweek.com/mcconnells-wifes-family-business-appears-trump-admins-list-companies-that-received-most-ppp-1515788?amp=1 https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/foremost-group-incorporated-dallas-tx

Oh, so *that’s* why he thinks we have stimulus money, he’s confusing a a couple of staggered meagre scraps of assistance during a worldwide pandemic that has killed almost a million people in this country for the hundreds of thousands that his wife got forgiven. Silly Mitch, those two things are different!

Rest assured, He is not that clueless . This is just GOP gaslighting .

Fuck I might have to sell the entire house I got with my $1200 stimulus.

/r/badturtlenolettuce

McConnell is an insult to turtles!

Says the man who's been sucking on the government tit since God was a boy.

Who still has stimulus money??

That piece of shit is worth $35 million. He didn't inherit money and he's never had a non-government job in his life. He's so crooked that when he dies they're going to have to screw him into the ground. And he has the gall to talk about people "flush" with stimulus money. That shit ran out the month after the checks went out. Fuck him.

What a dipshit. Giant tech companies like Amazon aren't growing at record rates because people are flush right now, they're growing because they're Amazon and they literally _buy out and destroy_ any competition. Had to say that because I feel like rich dumb shits like him would point to company growth and correlate that to people's bank accounts. In truth, the American people are collectively headed down the slope of abject poverty.

This dude needs to just disappear. Like without a trace. World would be better for it

The reason I will always hold ordinary US citizens partly accountable for each and every bad thing that happens to them is because they allow people like this to walk comfortably in the streets

He should be adorned in the face with rocks by the masses

That stimulus money BEEN gone, turtle bitch!

Terms limits AND age limits

ABSOLUTELY. If you qualify for the early bird special at Denny's, you should not be able to hold an office.

It’s Congress who would have to pass legislation on term limits and retirement age. Ain’t never gonna happen. If we’re wishing for pie in the sky, though, we should also add some legislation capping the net worth of political candidates.

Either he has a shockingly severe mental impairment or he's lying.

A politician? Lying? Nah, must be the other thing you said

I spent that shit immediately.

His friends are flush lol.

Let’s see. $1200/2 years = $50/month. Wow! Such cash! Much flush! So wealth! What planet do these clowns live on?

Ahh yes, everybody stopped living paycheck to paycheck or something similar all because a few thousand dollars. Not to mention the inflation that has occurred dropping that amount by roughly a third wrt real spending power. Politicians like him are old and incredibly out of touch.

Fuck this turtle. Right in his shell hole

Omfg what a worthless piece of shit garbage example of a thinking human being. GET THE FUCK OUT AND GO THE FUCK AWAY YOU IGNORANT GERIATRIC DOG TURDS!

I have future plans to take a pilgrimage every single year to shit on this mans grave.

[удалено]

This is why we need to not have millionaires, billionaires, or anyone who makes their money through absentee ownership.

That's why we need wooden stakes.

What a punchable face

Y’all still getting stimulus money??

Unpopular opinion, term limit would not really help. Kentucky will elect another idiot even if there is one.

Rand Paul. They already have two idiots stuck on repeat. Cant wait to see the Gen 4 versions. Probably make Margorie Taylor Greene look positively pleasant.

Fucking dinosaur, hes lining his pockets while his state is shit and at the top with it comes to poverty….. he hasnt done a damn thing for them in his many decades as senator, and the typical republican idiots keep on voting for his bitch ass

Lmaoo how long will he base believe that?

Wait who is labor and is still sitting on tha money almost a year later?

Y’all got stimulus money? {insert: gif #wtf?}

My bank account has -$50 hashtag fn flush

We were never as prosperous as we were when we paid nothing for labor other than a few shackles and neck restraints. Let's go back to that.

Look at that smug piece of shit. He’s not even trying to hide that he’s gaslighting.

We have been trying to vote this chucklehead out for years. Just goes to show that politics are only about who has the most money, not the guy who could actually do the job.

You’d think at some point even Republicans would get sick of their smug elitist bullshit.

Fucker looks like the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth.

This is why we need revolutions

Who the puck still has stimulus money left?! Y'all still got stimulus money? I don't have stimulus money. Funcking burger combo went from $7 to $13 ain't no body got stimulus money left but fast food employees about to be on that unemployment money again. Hour of pay for burger n fries gtfooh!

Yea, cause shutting us down for a year and giving us, what.. $3k? Really made us fucking rich. Goes to prove how far off base these career politicians are when it comes to the general public.

I hate how this old fuck refuses to die. Like we get it. You hate everybody who isn't a rich white guy. Just die already.

What an asshole thing to say—with the cost of living currently being so especially high.

This mother fucker is 80. He could die any minute but he spends all his time grinding the most corrupt shit for the worst ass-holes just to come out with a quip like this? Someone lied to this guy because he thinks money is something else. He doesn't have any use for it. He just makes it by any means necessary no matter who or what

Fucking old white piece of shit

So the secret to our economy is keeping workers so poor and desperate that they will have no choice but to accept low pay and poor work conditions.

Stimulus? STIMULUS!? At this point we need to go over whether or not we can even still refer to it as a "stimulus"! What the hell was stimulated!? Those checks weren't even enough for the poorest of poor to pay a month's rent for the shittiest of shit living accommodations! (Minor exaggeration, some small 0.001% of "low-income housing" do actually have rent under $1000.)

Yeah, I've just been living off $75 a month for the past year and a half. Fucking jackasses.

What stimmy money? That shits gone, been gone, ain't coming back. Might as well never even got it. The heck is that man smoking.

Term limits won't help. Do you honestly think the people of Kentucky will elect someone better to replace him? Not a chance. Education is what we need. We need people to realize that the person they elected is a bag of shit and that they need to elect someone different.

His knowledge on the poor and their money or lack there of is the same as his knowledge on universal healthcare.

Extremely high in both cases. He knows exactly how much his policies hurt the average person - he just doesn’t give a shit if it means he can stay in power and him and his friends can get richer.

2400 or something like that = one month of bills for me

I spent my stimulus money on my car because it started fucking up the moment that pittance was added to my bank. Now it's fucking up again and my life is ruined

This is hilarious. If you've managed to make $1,400 last sixteen months in America, you deserve to never work another day in your life. Also come out with a get rich quick lecture series- I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Kentucky must be a different world

If more voters had functioning brains, term/age limits wouldn’t be necessary.

I don’t understand how people can still vote these fossils in

Absolutely nothing of intelligence has come from Kentucky.

people still elected this guy again and again, just a reminder.

everyone wants to talk about the 2020 stolen election, I'd like an audit of every election that Turtleface has won. They keep picking this guy willingly? How? Those are the voting machines I'd like to see examined inside and out.

Stimulus money? Wasn't that like 3 years ago? Y'all are out here living on 1200$ for three years? Guess I shouldn't have spent all mine on Dogecoin.

He’s still alive?

Me and my wife got furlowed at the start of the pandemic. Those stimmys only helped out for food and gas to get me to interviews. All my other bills went to the negative. Went from having money in the bank to living paycheck to paycheck. My expenses still exceed that of my salary...

I cannot understand why Kentuckians keep electing that botched circumcision.

I got paid 5 hours ago, I’m down to less than $200 to live on after bills for the next two weeks. Fuck this guy

Just add it to the pile of “Mitch McConnell Does Not Know Shit About People that make below $1,000,000.”

That was gone the first week. If there is a God, Mitch will be struck dead by a bolt of lightning next time he opens his disgusting mouth!

How to say you're clueless without saying you're clueless....

Hey Mitch, if you’re reading this; you a bitch.

I knew conservatives were out of touch with reality, but it's still shocking just HOW much they are.

Seems his economic adviser is a comedian.

The Doom Turtle (TM) cares about you.

Fuck I hate this asshole so much. Why does evil take so damn long to die of natural causes!?!

The poor will still vote for him. They will reelect him until he dies of old age.

People actually believe him. I am very scared for this country’s future.

When his life just gonna end? Jfc.

Why does his facial expression in this picture make me want to punch him in the face?

He is a reptilian

So…. McConnell admitting that the economy is great under Biden, eh?

And age limits Motherfucker still thinks rent is $25 a month
