    I’m not even joking. We have a president who’s acting like a totalitarian dictator and ignoring the most basic checks and balances, and 40% of the country is perfectly fine with it.
    Rememba det one time when bad black president was going top open the founding father's mouth and take a there, but that's not really a concern now cuz president is white and racist, so it's actually ok.

    I mean the republic has been dead. No one did when Trump ended the first amendment so why would they now? I remember an opinion article in the New York times right after Trump got elected from a Venezuelan who warned us Trump would be another Hugo Chavez, and it's happening.

    Hugo Chavez tried (and prior to the collapse in oil prices succeeded) in lifting a significant amount of Venezuelans out of poverty and shrinking wealth inequality. Trump is way worse than Chavez.

    What's funny is that it's not a tax cut it's a different. No company is going to opt to not take the tax out they still have to pay it

    Yep.

    Maybe I'm missing something but I think that'll even be too much for senate Republicans...if there's a precedent set that a president can cut taxes by executive order then the precedent would apply to raising taxes. The Republicans have already ed themselves in terms of eliminating the need for 60 votes for change the tax code, this might be a bridge too far.

    Unless of course they're trying to burn the country down, which I'm starting to think is what's going on.

    I am not a fan of EOs but at least Trump’s are focused on helping working Americans instead of Obama’s DACA only helping illegals.

    ADDENDUM:

    This is 100% correct.

    CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS HIMSELF OPENED UP THE DOOR FOR THIS WITH THAT DACA RULING JUST LAST MONTH.

    Remember, TRUMP HIMSELF warned that this gives the President TOO MUCH POWER, if EO's **can't** be reversed by successors.

    Why is the DACA executive order a valid thing per SCOTUS but not this?

    Did Trump try to reverse DACA with an executive order? Or did he simply try to cover himself politically and challenge the cons utionality of it so that he could get it struck down by the courts without having to take the heat for reversing it through his own executive action???

    He'll declare victory over dems if it passes and pass blame on them if it doesn't. His loyal bootlicks will prop him up either way.

    Washington Examiner correspondent: Trump has 'the upper hand' politically after signing executive order


    President Trump gained the "upper hand" Saturday and helped his reelection chances by signing four executive orders aimed at delivering relief to Americans struggling with the economic fallout of the coronavirus, according to the Washington Examiner's chief congressional correspondent.

    "He definitely helped his cause by doing this, because what he's doing is two things," Susan Ferrechio said on "America's Election HQ." "He's taking away a talking point from Democrats who keep talking about the Republicans as being unwilling to help people."


    I think Democrats are in a tough spot if they sue over this, even though they may have, you know, a good cause behind them to do so with the payroll taxes," Ferrechio said. "It'll look like they're suing to stop unemployment, rental eviction abatement, other things are really important to voters. So I think the president, you know, if this were a chess move that, you know, he's got a little bit of the upper hand right now politically."
