Dems Rip Trump’s Executive Orders | Talking Points Memo

FOX 35 News reached out to the DEO to ask about this latest glitch. We received a generic reply back which read, “We have received your request and will respond as quickly as we can.”

But wait for it…

The DEO acknowledged that accounts are being flagged for “overpayment,” causing accounts to be frozen. Brito is advising those who encounter this issue speak with a supervisor with Florida DEO.

I wonder what the time on hold might be? People just love being on hold for hours, especially during the pandemic and unemployment crisis.

Trump signs re-election ploy EO’s. Pretends to show “leadership” and then plays more golf.

Keep hitting him and all Republicans with the reality that these don’t do anywhere near what the Democrats tried to do with the HEROES Act, which McConnell and Trump would not even consider.

5 million cases. 162,000 dead.

And counting - with no federal plan to slow it down or end it.

Oh yeah - it will just go away. Nice fucking plan, dickhead.

Listening to the news this afternoon it sounds like Trump may find himself between the proverbial rock and hard place – that is the Democrats and his own RethugliCons. Seems like people on both sides of the aisle are less than happy with Donnie’s attempts to play dicktator.

As soon as i saw the Mnuchin comment, I immediately thought about Florida having problems with UI.

The hold might be short term, but considering that Scott n DeSantis are pointing fingers at each other, who knows.

So the Radical Right Republicans don’t want to offer any real economic relief to folks who are out of work and penniless. They are too busy killing many thousands more Americans!

Here’s a link to a list of maximum unemployment insurance benefits by state, before the COVID payments kick in. No surprise that the Southeast Conference states are the cheapest, with nearly all under $300/week, including DeSantis’ little feifdom in Florida. One surprise was all those beer-swilling right wingers in Wisconsin are pretty cheap at $370/week. Unlike the SEC, you need gloves and a winter coat in 'sconsin. https://www.savingtoinvest.com/maximum-weekly-unemployment-benefits-by-state/

Trump’s move all comes down to how stupid the median Joe and Jill are. If they are stupid enough to fail to understand that all that Trump is doing is delaying their payroll tax payments then it was a master stroke by trump. I sadly concur with this conclusion Sixpack Joe is not very smart, Karen is even dumber.

That’s like September 11 happening 54 times.

Just think about that for a moment…

54 September 11s under Trump’s watch.

Despite a Presidential Daily Briefing that said, “COVID determined to strike inside the United States.”

One of the people they interview talks about the constitution. It can still surprise me how much more some people know than I give them credit for.
