Hillary Clinton labels Trump coronavirus executive actions a 'stunt'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hillary Clinton on Sunday said President Trump's executive actions on coronavirus relief were a "stunt," calling the orders both unconstitutional and a "diversion" from ongoing negotiations in Congress.

"t's a stunt. There's no doubt about it. It's most likely, as even Republican senators have said, unconstitutional, bypassing the Congress, trying to spend money he has no authority to direct," Clinton said on MSNBC's "AM Joy." "But it's also meant to be a big diversion from the hard work the Congress should be engaged in to provide the kind of relief that tens of millions of Americans need."

The three memoranda and one executive order announced by the president this weekend include actions suspending the payroll tax and extending the federal unemployment plus-up at a reduced rate, as well as an evictions moratorium and a freeze on student loan payments.

Democratic leaders have blasted the actions as dubiously legal and ineffective in replacing actual legislation. They have particularly criticized the unemployment extension, which provides $400 a week rather than $600 and would require state governments to provide 25 percent of the payment.

1. She is correct, of course!

2. Precisely the words that came out of my mouth

It is a stunt. We know your playbook, conman Don.

3. You're so right Hillary. I'm very sad.

4. It barely reaches the level of "stunt"

These weak-tea memoranda and order are the equivalent of a fourth grader turning in his 150 word essay three days late, with barely 80 words, on a book the boy hasn't read. An actual grown-up would be ashamed to put this half-assed effort out there. For the President of the United States, it's an indictment all its own.

Thanks again, Senate Republicans, for leaving this utter incompetent in office. You knew he wasn't up to the job, but you couldn't even be bothered to call witnesses before acquitting him.
