House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed the executive actions President Trump took this weekend to provide assistance for Americans struggling amid the coronavirus as weak and an "illusion" on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace, as she defended Democrats' stance asking for trillions more in aid as negotiations with the White House and Senate Republicans have stalled.
"No, in fact, what the president did is -- I agreed what the Republican senator said -- is unconstitutional slop," Pelosi, D-Calif, said, alluding to a statement Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., put out criticizing Trump's executive actions.
She also emphasized the alleged "weakness" of Trump's orders.
"While it has the illusion of saying we're going to have a moratorium on evictions, it says I'm gonna ask the folks in charge to study if that's feasible. While he says he's going to do the payroll tax, what he's doing is undermining Social Security and Medicare, so these are illusions," Pelosi said.

The fact that he issued the Executive Orders should tell people the Democrats refused to participate. He said he would be sued, but he was willing to take that chance to help working Americans. He highlighted the pet projects that the Democrats wanted to fund, which have nothing to do with COVID relief. He focused on the facts that Democrats aren't interested in helping the American people, but are more concerned about helping the cities and states that have been poorly governed by the Democrats. I don't know how much further he can shine the spotlight on their unwillingness to negotiate.
Just saw the witch on Fox news. She still thinks she is a cute teenager. She actually flirts with the camera. The camera is probably throwing up now.
I’m throwing up a little bit.
The bitch is set off because she cannot do a damn thing about it.
He should also send seniors under a small income the extra 300 a week. If we can afford it for people who aren’t working we can extend it to people who worked their whole lives and only get a pittance.
Give thanks to that moron Ben Sasse, the dumb senator from Neb. for giving the demonrats something to talk about.
Pelosi has as many marbles left as Biden.
Now, we know that President Trump’s plan will be not be good for the Pelosi/Schumer and blue city mayors.

The point is....Obama did it and no one said boo.
She puts the DUH in DUHlusional. Sad dang situation that she wields a lot of influence. And guess who will be back as the queen of Dis 12, Ca next year. Will she be chosen as speaker again if the republicrats don’t pull the house out?
There is also the spectacle of suing an illusion. If none of the EOs has substantive effect, then why oppose them?
Piglosi leads Schumer around by the nose.
Its funny, Nancy doesn’t even know the constitution herself and she has been in congress for 30 years and Trump yanks her chain and she freaks out. This country is on the brink of disaster and we have people like Nancy who are leading it! God Help us
Yeah, and who would have reported it fairly.
Sorry bub. Republicans who now suddenly give a damn about spending and Constitutional process can pound sand.
What we receive in Social Security should not be considered as income that is taxable.
Actually, it is the federal government paying back our loans to them over the decades with no real interest received on those loans to the feds.
SS payments to us should be tax free at all levels of government from state to federal.
The President knows that all the public often hears is the sound bites. With these executive orders he has given the public some sound bites. Now the Democrats will go out on the Sunday talk shows and explain why they oppose him. He wins, they lose.
Be quiet, you might really disturb the trolls infected with severe TDS.
We are still in a national emergency.
Nancy “Let em eat cake crumbs” Pelousy
Although I do not agree with the POTUS on the actions of the payroll (FICA) taxes, I tend to agree a bit on his actions in regs to the unemployment.
But WTH was he to do? They are effectively blocking this bill so they can send rebuilding cash to the cities where their scum allowed their scum to demolish.
So, like I said, I sort of agree with him on his actions for the unemployment, but not the FICA tax. It will be collected next tax season anyways I would bet. So what the hell good is a deferment?
How about instead, he eliminate the federal income tax instead? Go to a consumption tax.
Further..why is it so easy to stop the FICA tax and not the income tax? Lets call it for what it is. A scam.
We now have an oligarchy since the congress is incompetent.
