Frankedly, my dear….
Republican candidate for U.S. House Liz May is going to have to crank up her PR machine to stand a chance of building name recognition. Her opponent, incumbent Congressman Dusty Johnson, has the support of all of us taxpayers to get his message out to all of the voters that he and Donald Trump are saving us all from coronavirus:
If we’re going to call this an actual official communication, I’m going to require that statistics—”94% of South Dakotans are social distancing”—come from actual reliable sources, not from “a recent telephone town hall Dusty held.” I hold an electronic town hall every day here on Dakota Free Press, and according to my town hall, 94% of South Dakotans would like to replace Dusty with a Democrat… but we can’t do that, since Democrats failed to field a candidate for Congress. Sigh.
But at least our tax dollars can help Dusty drown out his primary challenger. (Hmmm… should we all re-register Republican and shake up the primary?)
The full dusty is not doing his job, all show and no go.
Dirty Johnson peddles lies. If you have a loan at the bank, that bank will take your stimulus money before you can say Dirty Johnson. Good deal it has trumps name on it.. for the failure.
“This week, the $1,200 CARES Act payments Congress approved in response to the coronavirus crisis will begin to appear in Americans’ bank accounts. The funds will be wired to eligible recipients who previously authorized the IRS to post their refunds (or Social Security payments) through direct deposit. This will speed relief far more quickly than having the IRS mail a check, which could take up to five months.
But the money may not make it into the hands of those who need it to pay bills, buy food, or just survive amid mass unemployment and widespread suffering. Individuals might first have to fend off their own bank, which has just been given the power to seize the $1,200 payment and use it to pay off outstanding debt.” https://prospect.org/coronavirus/banks-can-grab-stimulus-check-pay-debts/
Dirty Johnson supports a check garnishing scheme with taxpayer money diverted to the big banks. How many broke citizens, living from check to check have a loan that is owed? Remember that this November. Lovely.
republicans have long underfunded the IRS to further drown the United States in their quest to destroy us. With that in mind, the IRS is overwhelmed in trying to get these checks out. They are struggling, but just like that, an expensive answer. We need to ask Dirty if he will support congress in making the IRS Great Again by allowing them to do their jobs.https://prospect.org/economy/democrats-need-save-irs/
“Congress has approved billions of dollars of checks for Americans hard hit by the biggest round of layoffs in U.S. history. But millions of Americans will have to wait months for that money — and millions more may never get the money at all.
That’s because the rescue legislation left it to the IRS, an agency gutted by Congress, to organize the complex logistics of delivering the money to those entitled to it. As the IRS has struggled, for-profit tax preparation companies, notably Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, have stepped in with websites to help people get their checks.
But Intuit is not just acting as a conduit: It is also misleading unwary Americans by steering them to paid services that they could otherwise get for free.”https://www.propublica.org/article/millions-of-americans-might-not-get-stimulus-checks-some-might-be-tricked-into-paying-turbotax-to-get-theirs?utm_source=pardot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=majorinvestigations
Turbo Tax is one of the greatest grifts ever. You’re supposed to be able to have your taxes done for free, and Turbo Tax acknowledges that, but then makes it impossible to do just that. So now, here they are with a program that gets you the money made available by paying them a finders fee to do what is supposed to be free. Lovely
Jerry, I checked out your link to banks taking the checks. Stinks. Munchkin could disallow that for these checks but he’d have to be a decent human being so ………
Indeed Debbo, taxpayer money used to finance Jim’s boat, or his recent surgery. That’s the way we roll here though, the banks first and then citizens. I don’t imagine most folks will even know they didn’t get a check as the bank probably won’t even tell them it went to principal, just interest.
The full Dusty out to lunch, .
Dr. Oz likes Dirty Johnson’s approach as a fellow trumpian. This guy has chops with trump, so when he states that a couple of million school kids can die so we can “open the economy” is kinda, well draconian.
“DR OZ: “Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3%, in terms of total mortality. Any, you know, any life is a life lost, but … that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider.” 😳
DirtyJohnson, Praire Dog GNOem, EB5 Rounds and Tall Guy Thune need to work the plant in Sioux Falls to show us all how safe it is. South Dakota is now number 1, uno, the top of the list for coronavirus and still nothing from the governor other than eye kisses to trump and his pandemic.

trump knew in November of the virus and ignored it. According to reporting from Israel that matches up with what ABC was reporting on. What a massive massive failure of leadership from trump.
“US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday.
According to Channel 12 news, the US intelligence community became aware of the emerging disease in Wuhan in the second week of that month and drew up a classified document.
Information on the disease outbreak was not in the public domain at that stage — and was known only apparently to the Chinese government.
US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-alerted-israel-nato-to-disease-outbreak-in-china-in-november-report/
Good finds Jerry. Medical Moron has no excuses. This IS his responsibility.
