“Trump has no legal authority to do most of these things, more accurate to call them Executive Suggestions or Executive Noodlings than Executive Orders.”
Many are well aware of what Trump’s been up to over the past few years. Whether you agree with it or not is a political issue as fraught with stupidity as any political issue can be. But yesterday’s antics demonstrate how wholly ridiculous this has gotten, regardless of how un-informed or willfully ignorant you may be. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described it accurately as “absurdly unconstitutional.”
I’ll break it down as simply as I can. The administration has attempted to enact a payroll tax cut in the midst of double-digit unemployment. At least the people still working will feel that – yay! And incredibly, intends to divert money from FEMA at the beginning of the hurricane season to fund reduced unemployment subsidies. DoD money was funding The Wall, so I guess it makes sense in GOP Bizzarro World.
Why would they attempt this illegal, unconstitutional, certainly ineffective approach? Brian Tyler Cohen explains it pretty well. We need a propaganda vaccine now, too.:
If these idiots had 2 brain cells to rub together, they’d have seen this for what it was 6 months ago, instead of just another opportunity to exercise their shortsighted greed. With schools re-opening in-person in many places across the deep South, if you thought it was bad already, standby for the 1st wave peak.
