'Unconstitutional slop': Democrats blast Trump's executive actions on coronavirus relief
Yahoo News ^ | August 9th, 2020 | Colin Campbell Managing Editor

Democratic leaders on Sunday roundly condemned President Trump’s set of executive orders bypassing Congress on coronavirus relief.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began a “Fox News Sunday” interview by saying she agreed with Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska that Trump's actions were “unconstitutional slop.”

Pelosi said the “kindest thing I could say” after looking at Trump’s executive orders was that he “doesn’t know what he's talking about.”

“Either the president doesn’t know what he’s talking about ... or something’s very wrong here," she reiterated during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” In that interview, she called his actions “absurdly unconstitutional.”

The interviews came shortly before the U.S. reached 5 million confirmed coronavirus cases, according to tracking data from Johns Hopkins University. The university reported U.S. deaths at more than 162,000, and millions have been left unemployed with weak job prospects in the immediate future.

Don’t be surprised if Romney or some other RINO POS files a lawsuit to stop Trump from extending unemployment insurance. The Democrats are probably not dumb enough to do that themselves.

Pelosi doesn't want you to have the money.

No, that's not quite right. SHE wants to decide who gets it, when, and how much. It's too simple this way - money directly to taxpayers without going through her grubby paws.
Where's the pork for her pet projects? That's who she really wants to help. If she writes the Bill, she can rake off billions for her cronies.

Surely it can't be fair if there's no means-testing, no social-justice reallocating, no lives mattering more than others. Some people don't pay payroll taxes, they're off the books, selling whores or drugs or stolen Nike shoes. Where's their tax break?
If Pelosi controls the purse, the cost will triple and a lot of the money will just sort of disappear...

The uncontrollable, alcoholic, useless, Democrat, Nancy Pelosi better get her House Caucus back to Washington, DC like right now, to vote on approving the $1200 or $2000 dollar stimulus checks that both the Republicans Democrats have agreed upon!!!

POTUS, Trump Cannot approve this expenditure by Executive Order. Pelosi with glee says the House will not return until September. Boy them Democrat scum and vermin low life love screwing the hurting American Taxpayers in their time of needing serious financial assistance through crisis!!!

I suggest you good taxpaying folks call Ms. Pelosi and kindly ask her to put down her chilled wine glass and get her butt and caucus back to DC immediately to vote and pass this legislation, which POTUS,Trump will sign the second it passes!!! DO it!!

They wasted the previous money on “Planned Parenthood,” and Robert DeNiro. We have no constitution. There are certain words we are forbidden to say.

So fight them on their terms. Being nice got us nowhere. Look at Barr in that den of ghouls. But the press reserves the right to stress, ignore, and repeat what helps Democrats.

Fighting them like this beats a shooting war, which is probably coming anyway. The Dems got played this time. Screw them and their media pigs.

She wanted the bill to include a postal bail out so they would be on board for mail in voter ballot fraud

The Democrat House can still pass a bill if they want to.

But they won’t have financial relief to the citizenry to leverage all their myriad transformation programs.

That leverage has been taken from them and they are pissed.

Nancy Pelosi is bitching about “unconstitutional slop” after she falsified Obama’s eligibility papers pretending he was constitutionally eligible, after she rammed O-care through Congress without even letting our elected reps read the damned bill, and after she impeached PDJT on patently trumped up charges that...even if true.. would not have been constitutionally-convictable offenses?

talk about projecting one’s own crimes/sicknesses ! ha!
(Ps: there’s still room in Guantanamo for Nancy...)

Then so was Obama’s DACA,

We know DACA was unconstitutional, but two wrongs don't make it right.

So what if it is unconstitutional.

And that is the problem with our government today. Far too many people willing to look the other way when it is convenient, or it is "their" side, doing it.

At this point we have to use their own tactics against them.

This is a war, and the time grows short.
