No, it is a way POTUS is TRAPPING the D's.
Trump just invoked the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974, which allows him to send a special message to Congress demanding whatever changes he wants on the bill. The bill is then sent to the House, and they and the Senate have to decide if they're going to draft law to approve his changes, or sit on their ass. Trump just used that to demand $2k checks, cutting out the foreign spending, repealing Section 230, and opening an investigation into voter fraud. See here:

>I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.
>On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed.
>The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud.
Now, there are some saying
>so what Mitch will drag his feet for 45 days then it becomes law anyway hahaha migatard cope
Well niggers, they could do that, but if this bill isn't passed, government funding ends at 12:01AM on Tuesday, December 29th, 2020, and it will be entirely Congress' fault. If they wait out 45 days, the government will be shut down for nearly that entire time.
