'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.

This isn’t a problem with government. It’s a problem with the people. Most Americans these days don’t care about the constitution, especially if it gets in the way of their Gibs Muh Dat. So, we can be autistic purists about it and lose in a landslide, or we can roll with the punches and at least try to educate people. But if the Democrats get full control, you can forget the constitution or liberty in its entirety.

Fellow soon-to-be-obedient slaves,
In case you’ve forgotten just WHO these folks are, they’re the GENIUSES who seek to run the new POST RESET ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT...but can’t even construct a BELIEVABLE LIE. 
Sending out one of their TALKING POINT MEMOS to other Democrats and their willing fellow conspirators in the media turns out to have been a really STUPID IDEA.  Allow THIS stupid/ignorant future slave/subject to offer a SUGGESTION: DON’T USE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER IN THE MEMO!  It makes YOU look even dumber than the bulk of the mask wearing, trapped at home population you seek to enslave!
M’KAY??

"Unconstitutional slop"

Desperate Democrats have gotten their earmark, vote-buying, unconstitutional spending in the past by whining and stomping their feet.

But now they are dealing with PDJT.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Evidently, PDJT has a pen and a phone.

Then that's when the last of the three boxes gets put into action.

I believe President Trump used the same 'phone and pen' that Hussein 0bama left behind.

Some poll suggested that many Americans think 30 million Americans have died of COVID. Unbelievable.

This is all about bailing out sanctuary states and their costly programs with money being paid by;
Free ! Free! Free just means let the kids pay for it
Where’s the commercial or video showing a toddler happily playing suddenly being demanded to pay its thousands of dollars share of the national debt ? When the toddler breaks into screaming” HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME ???” in tears ?

What do you mean, like “walls closing in,” “noose tightening,” “beginning of the end,” “bombshell,” etc?

Of course you’re right. They’re not original thinkers. This particular metaphor is a mess. The notion they should be working expressing for the knee pad press to parrot is not that the action is sloppy, but rather that it’s insufficient. So the metaphor should be bandaid on a broken leg, popgun to fight off a charging grizzly bear, something like that.

F’in morons.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few of those.
