'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.

Well, yes, Nancy it's absurdly unconstitutional.

But once the checks cash nobody will care.

If you don't like it remove him from office.

Or, just b!tch and moan as is your forte.

I understand that Congress delegated a certain amount of administrative leeway to the President to do some of these things in the case of an emergency. Temporarily cutting payroll taxes included. So, I’m not entirely sure it’s all unconstitutional inasmuch as there was a specific and limited delegation of powers from Congress to the President in the enabling legislation. I could be wrong.

Trump played by democrat rules and they are pissed he beat them to the punch..

I think Trump knows the end is near so he is ensuring we get the money to prepare versus just a bunch of liberals get the money.

Nancy Pelosi, the Terminatrix, wouldn’t know the Constitution if she had a head-on collision with it. Nancy Pelosi and the Constitution are like water and oil - they do not mix.

Nancy Pelosi is the Terminatrix: she can’t be bargained with, she can’t be reasoned with, she doesn’t feel pity, remorse, or fear, and absolutely will not stop – ever - until America is DEAD.

This is at least the second time I’ve seen/heard them use the word, “slop” to describe his actions.

I smell a meme. ;)

The politics and timing of this are genius.

Especially the political imagery.

Media and Dims will say very little of it in coming weeks.

And Trump will brag daily on how he used a Supreme Court precedent that Dims UNIVERSALLY LAUDED to bypass a “do nothing, partisan congress” to do good for the American people.

Simply brilliant.

U.S. deaths at more than 162,000,

I strongly Disagree, if a Real Forensic Audit was done, I would bet the deaths strictly from the ChiCom Flu would decrease by at least 30%. When the Feds are Paying for All COVID, Everyone Dies from COVID, Including my neighbor that drove off a cliff last week. We also have to reduce the Total number by about 50,000, we CAN NOT BLAME those Nursing Home Deaths on COVID, they were Murdered as a result of the Depraved Indifference of a handful of elected officials, and they should be prosecuted.

“Phone and a pen” ring a bell, Nanzi?

But that was your savior Obama, so I guess that’s different.

“unconstitutional slop” was first uttered by Ben Sasse.

Noticed that Schmucky said he didn’t know and he’ll leave it up to the attorneys. So S & N are NOT on the same page.

>>Sue to take away Dad’s relief check so his children will starve to death! <<

That is EXACTLY the tactic to take.

The dems have their pants down. Oppose this due to TDS and then you are opposing relief that YOU wont grant.

Support it and undo almost 4 years of anti-Trump Orange Man Bad rhetoric.

No matter what happens after this in Congress, Trump can and will take credit for it for forcing them back to the table to get a deal in place.

On accident or on purpose it is a masterstroke.

Dems are ticked off because the relief is comign right before the next election- and folks will appreciate his boldness and fight, and are m ore l ikely to vote for him as they have just witnessed the dems trying to prevent Donald from giving folks soem much needed relief during this forced shutdown of their lives by liberal governors

they will be more likely to see that it’s him, NOT democrats, who have tried to help them
