Stormy Weather....

.. I truly am glad for the rumored offer of $1200 which could do a lot of people at least a bit of good for several weeks or maybe a month. But is there this shared creeping suspicion that t(HE)y are following a familiar pattern here (?) Next is Loads of gushing praise and heartfelt gratitude for too little too late. Are we being paid off, bribed? Damned if I'm not an elderly, happily married grandfather who keeps waking up in the middle of the night feeling like Stormy Daniels.. It is not a good feeling. So I guess we'll all be asked to keep it on the Down Low. Or maybe Take the Money and Run? Ultimately nasty phone calls from Michael Cohen? Oh wait, I think you can refuse a call from the pen. It gets better....maybe....

We will probably have to pay taxes on it.

I guess there will be an income requirement? I don’t think we will qualify, but I hope it helps a small business owner, employee, or health care worker. If it’s legit.

My Rep is a Dem, both Senators (neither of which are running this time) are Dems and my State gov't is pretty Dem.

But I'll vote to continue that.
