With polls continuing to indicate that Trump might win the presidential election this Fall, Democrats are said to be urging President Biden to use his executive authority to try to turn the tide back in their Party's favor.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren argued that "the way our Party has traditionally won elections is by putting as many voters on the federal teat as we can. Relieving students of their obligation to pay back their college loans is a good start, but it shouldn't be the last unlegislated expenditure he disburses. The Supreme Court may have ruled he lacks the authority to do this, but how are they going to stop him? The only thing that can stop him is losing the election. But if we pay off enough people that won't happen."
"Why not declare an inflation abatement program and invite everyone to submit a request for a $1,000 monthly check," Warren suggested. "Then just have Treasury Secretary Yellen send a check to every applicant for every month between now and November. Trump will denounce this as unfair and unwise. We will denounce him as a miser. Voters will realize that if Trump is elected the payments will be stopped. They will vote early and often for every Democrat on their ballots."
"Of course, giving away money isn't the only tool at the President's disposal," the Senator continued. "We can get the women's votes by pledging to make abortion freely available at taxpayer expense for anyone who wants it. We can get the votes of those who fear climate change by simply announcing new regulations that will be paid for by polluters and the rich."
"If we don't win the election it will be Trump and the Republicans who will get blamed when he stops the gravy train," Warren predicted. "The energy they have to spend to try to untangle the mess we make will divert them from pushing ahead with their own noxious schemes to force people to bear the responsibility for fulfilling their pursuit of happiness by their own efforts."

He’s already ruling by decree. And they think Trump will be a dictator.
Semi-News/Semi-Satire is fully dishonest
This is semi-satire? Dang. Sounds 100% what the leftists would say.
