NO DEAL: Democrats Hold Americans Hostage, President Takes Action, Will Extend Unemployment Benefits Unilaterally

23

Excellent. Speaker Pelosi must not be allowed to leverage the COVID-19 crisis, to bail out cities and states that have been ruined by the Democrat Party. This is another brilliant checkmate that President Trump has inflicted against the dirty Dems, who are accustomed to negotiating with weak Republicans who give into their demands. Those days are over. Trump is rolling. The Dems are heading for a serious beating in November.

The Democrats are waging war against the American people using COVID, BLM, lockdowns, draconian restrictions — to create as much misery and sorrow as their power allows.

President Trump says enough.

No deal with Democrats: President set to extend unemployment benefits unilaterally

By Washington Examiner, August 7, 2020

Democrats and White House officials ended another week of negotiations on a federal aid package without a deal, and President Trump will now act unilaterally by this weekend to extend unemployment insurance and other coronavirus-related protections, his top aides said.

“The chief and I will recommend to the president based on lack of activity today to move forward on some executive orders,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who is negotiating with Democrats alongside White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, said after a two-hour meeting with Democrats.

Mnuchin said Trump’s executive orders would extend unemployment benefits, eviction protection for renters, postponement of student loan payments, and other provisions. He said it would be issued “over the weekend.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters after the meeting that Mnuchin and Meadows offered a proposal that was insufficient.

“I told them: Come back when you are ready to give us a higher number,” the California Democrat told reporters after the meeting.

Mnuchin said the two sides got nowhere Friday.

“The president would like us to make a deal, but unfortunately, we did not make any progress today,” Mnuchin said.

“To the extent they are willing to make new proposals, the chief and I will be back anytime to make new proposals. We asked for a specific compromise on state and local [spending] and a specific compromise on unemployment, and we have not received a compromise on that.”

Meadows said Democrats are not willing to back down on a nearly $1 trillion request for state and local government aid and will not compromise on reducing the $600 weekly federal unemployment supplement that critics say pays workers more to stay home than return to their jobs.

“At this point, I’m extremely disappointed,” Meadows said. “We came up here today just to hear the same thing over and over again.”

Earlier Friday, Pelosi told reporters that Democrats offered to reduce their proposal by $1 trillion by shortening the time frame, but Meadows said Democrats were unwilling to remove any spending items from their proposal.

“They can’t come up with any significant cuts in their bill,” Meadows said.

Schumer and Pelosi warned Friday that executive action by the president would end up in court and would be insufficient to address the needs of the nation, which has grappled for months with the coronavirus outbreak.

Mnuchin said that executive action was not “the first choice,” but Trump wants to act.

“It’s going to take a little bit of time for us to finalize these … but we’ll do them as quickly as we can because the president wants action,” Mnuchin said. “He realizes, again, despite what was a big pickup in jobs, there’s still too many people that are impacted by this.”

And he has the authority in the Constitution to do this where? Nowhere! Yet, this is to be cheered on? C’mon! Dems are no better, but both are now pushing the socialism of the welfare state. I thought this president said we were not a socialist country. Looks like he doesn’t understand what socialism actually is.

Here comes the Never Trumper. Yes he DOES have the authority to do this. Shouldn’t you be hanging out with Mitt Romney or talking it up directly for Biden since every day his ability to speak for himself is diminishing. You’re the kind that would rather have Biden! That is how EVIL and pathetic you are. You continue to shame Liberty University as a fake Christian too.

You continue to purposely remain clueless and not recognize the magnitude of what is going on. Your HATE of Trump blinds you S Has no limits. You’d rather have more homeless people and our economy totally destroyed. These are exceptional times and Trump is NOT SOCIALIST. This is temporary and you know that. You have no heart. It’s not the fault of these people their lives are being destroyed by DEM governors.

Maybe this will cheer you up! More people have been committing suicide over their lives being devastated over the shut down than dying of the virus. Cops are also committing suicide too. The healthy elderly are still getting virus infected people in their care homes instead of keeping them out by DEM governors and being denied the Trump drug that works!

You have earned the special Betty White award. I save it for very special people like you. Not every one gets this from me. I carefully judge the recipient and save it for the most vile people and you win! Crawl back and stay in your liberal cesspool.

Do you have any clue that the Constitution is the framework for the USA? The laws passed by Congress are what the country runs on not only the Constitution. IF Trump couldn’t do it then the courts will stop him for violating a LAW not the Constitution. The Constitution authorizes Congress to appropriate our tax dollars and the governments SPEND it (state and federal). I’ll bet you are one who believes that Trump has to produce his tax records according to some law too.

Trump to Require Health Insurance Companies to Cover Preexisting Conditions
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-to-require-health-insurance-companies-to-cover-all-pre-existing-conditions-for-all-customers_3454401.html
“Over the next two weeks I’ll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers,” Trump said at a news conference at his golf property in Bedminster, New Jersey. “That’s a big thing. I’ve always been very in strongly in favor—we have to cover preexisting conditions.”

“This has never been done before but it’s time that people of our country are properly represented and properly taken care of.”

I am not doing anything special right now.
We need to do some volunteer work.
Maybe we’ll do some phone surveys and get out the vote like we did last time using Callfire. NJ and NY are a waste of time but through using the phone we can help out other states.

Thank God for Mnuchin! With Trump’s approval Mnuchin turned them down. They wanted a 2.5 TRILLION dollar bill with all kinds of lefty garbage in it such as bail outs for their destroyed cities and bankrupt budgets, money for out of work illegal aliens etc.

So he is forced into another EO!

Donald Trump to Suspend Payroll Tax Until End of 2020
CHARLIE SPIERING
7 Aug 2020

The tax would continue to be deferred until the end of 2020, the president said, and would likely be retroactive from July 1. He said that by the end of 2020 the payroll tax break could be extended.
“Hopefully I’ll be here to do the job,” Trump said, hinting at the results of Election Day.

The president also said he would extend unemployment benefits, defer student loan payments and interest, and extend the eviction moratorium as well as an order requiring health insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions.

“If Democrats continue to hold this critical relief hostage, I will act under my authority as president to get Americans the relief they need,” he said.The president said that the lawyers were drawing up the executive orders and that they could be signed by the end of the week.

Asked whether he was concerned about the legality of his executive order, Trump replied,
“No, not at all. You always get sued, everything you do you get sued … we’ll see.”

The president also declined to specify whether or not he would extend federal unemployment benefit checks at the full $600 a week. (Screw them – those worthless, lazy people.)

Donald Trump has not always been perfect but he was always a believer. He is our King David who was also not always perfect but Trump WAS chosen by G-d to save America and there are leading theologians on youtube that say the same thing.

It appears we have a straggler sissy boy lib from The Hill that has infiltrated this fine website.

Ironic that you would pick King David. A king who sent a woman’s husband to die in combat so he could have her for himself.

TITG: Democrats are the adulterers, liars and they worship money, not the Republicans. Think Bill Clinton on pedo island and Hillary who is an accessory to child abuse. Hillary was given money from our enemies in the Middle East. Democrats will do anything for money, mostly illegal.

Hey, hey, hey! Sounds like you aren’t even a Bible reader, much less a believer or you would have better insight. Whatever. In Old Testament days God used the ‘worst’ so why couldn’t He equally use a man with Trump’s “past?”

We Christians have the right to judge Trump’s performance as it is in the White House and nothing ‘before or after.’ That is between him, his wife and God and no one else.

As for him being an atheist, lol at that. What people appear to be is not always what they are. Now I’m not claiming that he has received salvation for he hasn’t shown in any way (except talk) that he has come that far. However it is clear that he ‘believes’ in God and His Son and that is the most important first step. Steps in the right direction that must come before salvation. And do tell me, what man on earth can look into the heart of another man? Only the Lord God can and all others are false.

Oh by the way, just because he was born into a family that believed in hard work and getting ahead in life, not living from hand to mouth in old age, doesn’t make him one who worships money but it does say he has the good sense to carry on trying his hardest to build – instead of tear down.

Those words of yours, “worships money,” made me stop and think for a minute about when the virus 19 really took over. Here I am an old lady in her 80’s, disabled and nearly housebound. I only bring in $1,008. a month and because I have to depend on my groceries being home delivered, I have to pay extra for delivery. Still as everyone else was screaming that they didn’t have money to pay mortgage, rent, insurances, utilities, food or anything else; I still managed to pay mine. Why? Why when they all get a heck of a lot more than any $262. a week, which would equal $8.75 an hour for a 40 hour week, have I managed on so much less? Think about that a minute. If those screamers actually work or live on welfare (whatever), they are only concerned about today and to heck with tomorrow – some idiot will bail them out. And our government did just that! What extra do I get when food and utilities go up every year? Not a blasted cent. No one is concerned about those of us on social security (because we put in our 45 to 60 years & our spouses did also). We are the left behind and forgotten ones and yet we are able to manage on our skimpy money where others couldn’t do it on their big bucks! I would call that a “Go figure moment!”

As for you I would suggest you not be so judgmental about someone else’s life but stop and evaluate your own. Wouldn’t you agree or does an 85 year old’s logic escape you too? …

More free money or no free money, at this point it does not matter. It makes no difference either way. Prepare and become self sufficient and rely on no one to help you. They will not be there when you need help. Survival of what is coming is that simple.
