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.

I thought the weakness was by design. Trying to spend money we don’t have shouldn’t get through or pass.
Maybe she can get her Pelosa Nostra to study impeachment again?
The Russia/Impeachment Hoax was an illusion turkey neck.
Ben Sasse is an ass.
During the time the nation is under a national emergency I would think POTUS can order the expenditure of money but, not the change change in in tax law.
I scream. You scream. We all scream for the chance to eat ice cream like Nanzi.
Screw the income tax. It’s unconstitutional AND un American.
Look what new blood gave us —The Squad.
Nobody gets that. Money in their pocket - or not - people will understand.
Did Mike Wallace Jr agree?
Yeah, the moron, that dumb Senator who shoots off his mouth and then votes in support of Trumps positions 87% of the time.
I’d love to have more morons like him in the Senate!
Military, social, political, and economic are actually the four factors of Rome’s decline. All factors dragged down the Roman Empire since they all linked with one another.
Additionally the politicians and rulers of Rome became more and more corrupt... with growing infighting...and attacks from barbarian tribes outside of the empire led to Invasions by Barbarian tribes.

Is the nasty biddy going to tear up the executive orders like she did the copy of the State of the Union?
+1000
Are Pelosi and Schumer stupid or suicidal enough to try this, and to put their names on it?
Actually, the President has all kinds of authority to do all sorts of executive actions during a declared national emergency
For instance, he does not have the funds or authority to give all a $1,200 check. He does however have authority create a payroll tax holiday that puts money directly into the pockets of those working.
So, the President put money into the hands of both those unemployed and those actually working. Both groups will be better off still in November.
The President has in fact done what he was elected to do, lead the country out of the emergency morass into better times
They both are absurdly [delusional] enough to do any number of absurd delusional things.
Not sure why i bracketed the word [delusional] ?
