What are you doing with your $5k?

Mine goes straight to the Dems. I guess.

(sigh)

I’d donate mine to the ACLU, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and to the Union for Concerned Scientists. Can’t think of a better way to use those funds.

Wahoo!!! Add that $5K midterms dividend check to the $5K DOGE refund and the $2K tariff check, and it’s gonna be PARTY TIME!

Goddamnit! I was planning to go to Nunavut and blow the whole wad on hookers and blow, or at least get some poutine.

I’ve never seen an actual price tag on an attempt to buy an election before. I learned a new thing today.

Money is fungible! Spend this on bills and use your bill money for Nunavut.

Another excellent well thought out plan by the Orange Peril – promising an election bribe that the US Government could never afford and that Congress would never approve, subject to conditions that could never be enforced! :grin:

Maybe it’s like his brilliant solution to health care – more like a “concept” of a plan.

I suspect that even long before the November election, Trump’s little toddler brain will have forgotten all about the concept of a plan and will be renaming the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m gonna grab a Buchla Music Easel. Since it comes in at just about exactly $5K, I’ll probably have to dip into my tariff rebate money to cover shipping and taxes. I’ll spend the rest on weed.

Why wouldn’t he pay?

Respect for the law?

Worried about inflation?

He says inflation concerns him, sure, but I think he’s more honest when he says he believes in debt.

If the GOP retains just one house of congress, Trump will say that was better than expected. And that he has to ignore congress because they won’t be able to agree on anything. I wonder if he’d then tell Bessant to send out $2,500.

As to what to do with the check, consider that the inflationary effect means you got nothing.

You are wildly assuming the 5k will be dollars. You naive, gullible fools.

I’ll have me a Trump steak, washed down with Trump vodka, while perusing my Trump Bible. After which, I’ll enrol in Trump University. If there’s anything left over, I’ll go down and play the slots at Trump Casino while wearing my Trump sneakers.

Come on, people! Take it with humour!

You have to think in 3D chess terms. Before the checks are cut, DOGE comes along and slashes this as waste, claiming they just saved the government $1.35 trillion, and then Fox spins that as a huge victory. Now Congress won’t have to raise your taxes to pay for it. See how much they are fighting for the hard working voters?

Best Line: “He’s lying about his own Gay Wanks!” :rofl:

I’m going to buy some magic beans, grow a beanstalk, climb it and steal a golden egg from a giant.

He should have made it $10,000. That would be twice as good

Might as well take the entire goose if you are going to put yourself through all that trouble.

Unicorns all the way! and obviously I should get some unicorn food, too: I think they eat Unobtainium.

I’ll make a downpayment on my next hamburger.

Pfft, just print more money. Problem solved!

Trump has already said that the caveat is “You have to spend it in this country.” Per the BBC:
Trump also told the Republican conference that the money would have to be spent in the US, but it is unclear how that would be monitored.

So no going on vacation to a foreign non-shithole country, apparently.
