So criticize Republicans. Biden has the proposal ready to go, and no Republicans got on board with it or even made a reasonable proposal for Biden to compromise with. Best we got was 6 Republicans (not the 10 or 12 that would be needed to break a filibuster) offering substantially smaller checks and far less money to needed areas.
we do frequently
biden’s inability to compromise with the minority party has nothing to do with them when the democrats have full institutional power
stop blaming “the Republicans” for everything. everyone knows the GOP swamp is stupid yet somehow you act like they’re evil geniuses that ruin everything. you claim to be so smart so you go fix it, you smalltime delinquent animal torturer

Here's the reality: Biden wanted $2,000 checks before he got elected, Trump had his people negotiate $600 checks. After that Trump tried to pretend he wasn't part of the negotiation and wanted $2,000 checks. Biden promised to fulfill the amount to $2,000. He kept his promise. Anybody who tracked these events knows that the $1,400 issued was a fulfillment of Biden's desire to get $2,000 checks.
If you want to criticize Trump for his failure, that's reasonable. Biden made up for it.
no. this is the worse fake news since ‘russia hacked the election’ and “wmd in iraq”
President Trump wanted standalone checks in October.
