Please, if Obama did this your side would be losing their mind with "communist" etc.... Trump endlessly criticized him for his use of executive orders, and Trump has long surpassed him, and now with the cost of this, it will be unprecedented. You can't just say Trump is playing 4D chess every time that he does something inconsistent. |

He is actually playing 5D chess. He is not playing the usual Democrat game. Remember the jokes that if Trump said Oxygen was good the Democrats would stop breathing? Well, he is now saying that! Is Nancy going to throw a little hissy fit and come out against this? Is his base going to move to Biden? All it really is about is the Clinton "Triangulation" strategy on massive steroids. Most likely it just gets the Democrats back to the table and gets them serious. No more silly vote by mail demands or such. Trump looks like the adult. And it will drive the liberals nuts! The President is a fink. |

No, I support it. I am just pointing out, if Obama did it, you would be losing your mind at the amount of money spent via Executive Order.... Also, pointing out Trump's hypocrisy on executive orders... |

He made it sound like he was going to extend the extra $600 weekly unemployment, but then when a reporter asked him if it would really still be $600/week and how the govt could pay for it he got all cagey and wouldn’t answer. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I heard it was going to be adjusted to 70% of income for a 600 max. So you will no longer receive base UI plus 600, just 70% (up to 600 if your state has a lower max). |

Steinbeck was an elitest/socialist, ever read Grapes of Wrath? It's sickening commie/socialism. He was at the end of his career in 1959, he thought it would be 'interesting' to rub elbows with the 'common people'. He was wrong, it was bland and boring. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He has a tendency to promise things he never follows through on (he is a con artist, after all). He told Chris Wallace he’d be signing a complete health care plan in “two weeks” three weeks ago. I’ll wait to see the EOs before getting too worked up about it. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

He makes these stupid “promises” to get through the moment and never follows through. |
