In the Civil War, Lincoln went around the Appropriations Clause and funded the emergency money needed. Trump should do the same in this emergency.

Good point. I think that the Civil War is actually about the closest comparison we have. In this case, it’s the West Coast, the Northern Midwest and the NE states that’s are essentially seceding, violating the Constitution and taking over powers that they don’t have.

While I live in the South now and have always thought that Southern states had some points to make and were cynically manipulated by South Carolina into pledging allegiance to slavery and the SC way of life, Lincoln needed to do what he did.

I think they ran out of money before the first stimulus checks got sent out.

Partner, this is the way to go since we have that "Nancy Pelousy Is The Speaker of the House" and she is the Worst Speaker of the House ever.

"Nancy Pelousy" wants to continue her shanigans since she hates President Trump since she can not be kicked around like she did W.
