[QUOTE=JimJaimes;4741557]But he will definitely still consort with them since they are the only ones left that will lend his thieving *ss money.[/QUOTE]Since you think so little of our president you sending your Send me a list check back.

Is there anyone on the board actually eligible to receive a check?

[QUOTE=HillbillyBob;4741717]Since you think so little of our president you sending your Send me a list check back.[/QUOTE]The funds for the check was allocated by a bill that started in Congress (under Nancy Pelosi), passed by the Senate with a near majority (under Mitch McConnel), and signed by the President. Let's be clear, the money isn't from Trump. It's from other taxpayers. Until I actually see him sign a check drawn on his personal account (or even that of Trump Inc.), it's not from Trump. The power of the purse lies with Congress; not the Senate, and definitely not the President.

[QUOTE=HillbillyBob;4741717]Since you think so little of our president you sending your Send me a list check back.[/QUOTE]HB, you don't think the dipshit president is writing those checks personally do you?

[QUOTE=Willow1535;4741961]Is there anyone on the board actually eligible to receive a check?[/QUOTE]I'm sure there are many on here that are eligible.

[QUOTE=Willow1535;4741961]Is there anyone on the board actually eligible to receive a check?[/QUOTE]I think I am eligible. I will keep everyone updated because if I do receive a check I'm sure some of it will go to the hobby.

[QUOTE=Willow1535;4741961]Is there anyone on the board actually eligible to receive a check?[/QUOTE]And I want to thank each and everyone of you for contributing to my check.

Stay safe. MN.

[QUOTE=Willow1535;4741961]Is there anyone on the board actually eligible to receive a check?[/QUOTE]I won't get the whole $1200. That money is reduced by $5 for every $100 you make over $75 k. (so, $1150 if you make $76 k, $1100 for $77 k, etc.). Anyone $99 k or over gets zero.

(these are single, no kids figures. Different formulas is applied for single with kids and couples).

(these are single, no kids figures. Different formulas is applied for single with kids and couples).[/QUOTE]The figure of $75 K is based on "adjusted" gross income, for a couple, AGI would be $150 K or less. You could make 100 K, your spouse $49.9 K and you would still get $1200 each, that is, if you file joint.

The real scam is kids over 16, you do not get $500 for them at all. I always thought it was a crock of shit that when your kid turns 17, you lose the child tax credit. My youngest is now 19, full time college student (or was anyway, LOL). No job and I support him 100%. He gets nothing and neither do I.

I did a bit of research a few weeks ago. The payment is based on 2019 return, if you have yet to file, they go back to 2018. If you claim, say in my case, my kid as a dependent, they are not eligible for the stimulus payment. Therefore, I filed my 2019 taxes 2 weeks ago and DID NOT claim him as a dependent.

Then, I filed a tax return on his behalf showing zero income after doing my research. No W2, no income and the only thing I was prompted to enter was his student loan total. At the end before hitting submit, it said, your federal tax return is $1,000. Not sure why, maybe that is the standard tax credit? Then, since he filed, they will use that for the stimulus check.

I found all this info be reading quite a few articles and finalizing everything at IRS. Gov website. Hope it may help some of you out there.

Remember when people were saying we better get used to saying Madame President?? LOL.

He actually wanted HIS signature to be on the checks!

Remember the "Trump coronavirus instructions" you got in the mail?

Narcissism 101- "I take all the credit. You take all the blame".

As Jim Jaimes said, the scary part is just how many Americans are such stupid authoritarian sheep that they actually see him as a "leader". The lead lemming, maybe.

The good dr.

Remember when people were saying we better get used to saying Madame President?? LOL.[/QUOTE]Honestly, and this just goes to show the presidential elections are more of a popularity contest than they are issue-oriented, Clinton wasn't that bad as far as her resumè went. Hell, it was actually kind of stellar. But she was so far from likable and relatable it was the real problem with her, well that and the DNC being a collective group of incompetence.
