Trump uses Executive Order to Provide Tax & Unemployment Relief the Democrats Refuse to Provide

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

President Trump signed executive orders on Saturday to provide relief while the Democrats are more interested in trying to hurt people just to win the White House. Trump has provided more aid to people who have been devasted by this coronavirus pandemic charade. Trump has included the extension of the $400 weekly unemployment benefits and he has granted a payroll tax holiday for workers making less than $100,000. Trump came out and bluntly accused congressional Democrats of “stonewalling” negotiations. Trump said:

“Through these four actions, my administration will provide immediate and vital relief to Americans struggling at this difficult time.”

The left-wing press has his hands tied that he cannot fire Fauci who belongs in prison. He is forced to simply use executive order to do what the Democrats refuse to do. He also said he’s weighing additional income tax relief and capital gains tax cuts.

I’m totally against this bailout. Let the states which have tyrannized their citizens and their businesses, suffer the consequences.

Hold the state governors who ordered the shutdown of their citizens’ civil liberties accountable for their madness.

Don’t bail those fuckers out with federal subsidies.

Where are all those people screaming about the president using executive orders to circumvent congress, like they did when Obama pulled the same crap?

If it were not for double standards, the idiots in Washington would have no standards at all. And anyone with two brain cells knows that the media will have a field day.

Samuel 8:18

18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

Samuel Chapter 8

1. And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.

Why have congress if the president can just do everything by executive order? This is bad. Very bad. And the Trumpies will realize this when Trump isn’t there anymore.

D’s found out when Harry Reid changed the rules for approving judges that when there guy isn’t in charge there can be dire consequences.

At the state level, governors have figured out that emergency declarations give them carte blanche and in most cases there isn’t a dam thing the legislature can do to check that power.

You act like this is new, like Trump invented this?
Nigga please.
I have been watching these EO’s in horror my whole life.
His move is masterful, fuckin genius, true use of their tools against them.
Whomever or whatever comes next will not hesitate to use EO whateverthefuck Trump does.
Bravo Trump, BRAVO, it was priceless to watch Chuck and Nancy squeal over lost bailout dreams, for years of porkulous.
Up. In. Smoke.
What the fuck are you cunts going to do now?
Sue him?
Sue him to stop giving money to the unemployed, the students, the uninsured, the evicted.
Your fucking base, so you can divert the funds to the usual gang of criminals?
Absolutely genius, one of the all time if not all time greatest political slap down, ever.

IT’S A SHOW!!!

And you’re cheering your favorite role-player, because it appears to put egg on the faces of the characters you don’t like.

One fine day, you’ll find yourself outside the theater altogether, wondering why in the fuck you so excitedly cheered your own enslavement.

Robert Downey Jr’s character in Tropic Thunder says “Never go full retard” to Ben Stiller’s character. Just like in that scene, it’s advice too late.

The democrats wanted a trillion dollars to bail out state and local governments. The republicans against it. It is not being reported but this covid-19 lock down has devastated state and municipal government budgets. While most of my state businesses are opening much of government remains closed. In my city most services are by internet only with buildings, recreation centers, libraries, senior centers, art center, convention center, etc. all shut down. No money to open them? In addition to that in the metroplex I live in one city’s councilmen raised taxes on real estate from 3.5% to 8% citing declining taxes due to the covid-19 lock downs.

Cities are in trouble. It is my opinion that the second wave of layoffs coming are going to be from corporate white collar and government workers. Better start social networking and learning to barter your skills and possessions because it is going to be a nasty depression.

“buildings, recreation centers, libraries, senior centers, art center, convention center, etc.”

Even if most are not stuck at home and can’t use these anyway, and even in the best of times, do any of these really have any value to the ‘community’?

They do when times are good. Now they are a drag on local governments. They will be sold off to the highest bidder when governments go into bankruptcy. Probably city halls will end up sold too.
