This alone could be the counter to the Democratic party's candidate for President.  If you also brought up the impeachment fiasco, the Democrats would be lucky to even get a seat at the local movie house.  Democrats pee away the public's money for their own special purposes that enriches them.  We want what's ours!!

Celebrities that argue with their qualification based on their net worth, don't present much of an argument to the truth.  The industry doesn't present any awards to any celebrity for their intelligence, there is a reason for this!.

Amigo, have you not been paying attention? The people who vote for the Dems don't care about any of those things. The live ones, anyway.

And they want what's ours, too.

Oddly enough, no Democrat supporters seem to be able to figure out how this happened.  You would think that when you see something occur repeatedly, you might begin to understand where that money is coming from...……..  But they are Democrats so you probably can keep fleecing them forever.

No pay raise in the bill

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/verify-no-the-house-of-representatives-did-not-slip-a-pay-raise-into-the-stimulus-bill/507-432ca0de-0406-4340-ad04-bed978e3c339

THE QUESTION: 

Did the House of Representatives add a clause to get pay raises in the coronavirus stimulus bill?

THE ANSWER:

No. The money is real, but it's meant to help set up telework and cover other coronavirus-related expenses. Several government groups including the Senate and Supreme Court have similar money granted in the bill.

WHAT WE FOUND:

According to the summary by Sen. Patrick Leahy, vice chairman of the appropriations committee, the legislation allows for $25 million to support the House of Representatives’ capability to telework, including purchasing equipment and improving the network; reimburse the staff of the House Child Care Center for costs; and cover costs for House restaurant contracts. The Senate bill is called the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The language in the House bill, under House of Representatives, Salaries and Expenses, allows for $25 million “for necessary expenses of the House of Representatives to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus, to be allocated in accordance with a spend plan submitted to the Committee of Appropriations of the House of Representatives.”

The Tide Turns Conclusively Against Wuhan Virus in New York, How Much Longer Can Totalitarian Leaders Hold Onto Their Population Control Power?

 

There were a total of 52 new hospitalizations for Wuhan related symptoms in the state of New York yesterday. Yes, it was Easter. But it was also 52 in the entire state.

You can see in the video that ICU admissions and intubations remain very low, the three-day average of new intubations is 64.

Hospital discharges were 1,862.

At some point, we have to say we’ve done all we can do. There is increasing evidence that the “early flu season” in California was actually Wuhan virus. If that is the case, we have just pulled the biggest self-own in the history of humanity. Even if it isn’t true, we are past the point of diminishing returns and at the point of inflicting real, and perhaps permanent, harm for ephemeral protection against a virus that seems to be nothing more than an academic bogeyman.

The real battle now is regaining the civil liberties and freedoms we’ve so cavalierly relinquished to petty Gauleiters across the nation. Clawing back those freedoms and permanently enjoining those people from ever exercising this kind of tyrannical power again is our challenge, not fighting some Chinese lung AIDS virus

Trump On Ordering States To Reopen For Business:

The Authority Of The President Of The United States Is “Total”

“It’s almost too easy,” says Christian Schneider, “but if Obama had said ‘the authority is total’ about presidential powers, Sean Hannity would have spontaneously combusted.”

Well, in fairness, so would I. And so would you. And we all would have been right to do so.

Between this nonsense and his tweets this morning, I’m dying to know if his lawyers are BSing him behind closed doors about his authority or if he’s just winging it and expecting them to scrape together some dubious Article II justification later.

(Trump: I’m The Decider On America’s Grand Re-Opening, Not The Governors https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/04/13/trump-im-decider-americas-grand-re-opening-not-governors/)

TRUMP: “When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. And that’s the way it’s gotta be. It’s total.”
 

John Roberts is at home right now, rubbing his temples at the prospect of Trump and Barr asking for a ruling that the president can claim emergency authority during a pandemic to do pretty much anything he wants. That decision should be 9-0. But it won’t be.

If his authority in emergencies is “total” — and again, it isn’t — how can he say “I don’t take responsibility at all” when asked about the early failure in testing?

Someone on his staff needs to explain to him that claiming “total authority” is going to make it much harder for him to scapegoat Cuomo and other governors for the sustained economic pain when they refuse to reopen on his timetable. Which is what’s coming, and not just among Democratic governors:

 

[New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu] noted that it was his local government’s decision “through executive order” to shut down nonessential businesses, transition restaurants to takeout only and ban gatherings of more than 10 people. “All these executive orders are state executive orders, and so therefore it would be up to the state and the governor to undo a lot of that,” he said…

Later on CNN, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan also disagreed with the president’s assessment.

“Well, it’s not my understanding of the Constitution,” he said when he was asked about Trump’s remarks on Twitter. The Republican governor noted that his state was happy for the federal government to “weigh in” and would “love to have the president’s cooperation,” but he said the decision to reopen would come down to “individual governors.”

“Governors made decisions to take various actions in their states based on what they thought was right for their state, based on the facts on the ground, talking with doctors and scientists,” Hogan said. “And I think individual governors who made those decisions will have the ultimate decision about what to do with their states.”

The fear is that he’s going to create a stand-off with governors and doctors who are trying to do the right thing by their people in waiting to reopen until conditions are safer and the economic reboot seems to be more durable. Some people won’t know what to believe, with the president telling them it’s “safe enough” and their governor saying “nope.” Others will let pure partisan idiocy guide their judgment and decide that it’s time to go to work or stay home depending on what their team’s personal tribal authority says. 

Update: He’s already lost Turley.

Pres Trump stated that “When somebody is President of the United States, his authority is total.” The Constitution was written precisely the deny that particular claim. It also reserved to the states (& individuals) rights not expressly given to the federal government.
