Any lawsuit will be brought forth by Dems and won't be finished by the time the election happens. Meanwhile Trump can blame Democrats and say they are suing because they don't want to help people.

can an executive order even do anything with payroll taxes? like order the irs not to collect them?
I get the impression the White House doesn't care. This is all about optics. If it temporarily bumps his polling numbers up, he'll call it a win.
It's weird there won't be any stimulus check as I think a lot of people really needed one. There will be some who can't get unemployment but aren't making enough right now(gig workers etc) to not get evicted...
I was thinking that too. It sets a very bad precedent though.
The reality is that this would be a temporary suspension of collection of payroll tax. Companies do not have to pass this savings on to their employees particularly if they believe it will be a lump sum payment due to catch-up later on. Plus, for most, payroll taxes are not that significant. So I think the net effect here is 0.
FEMA budget...is small. Exactly how long will he think this extends UI?
Another bunch of crap not worth paying attention to.

negotiations aren't over despite Trump's meaningless EOs. But as of now, no deals on that yet. Which is sad because that seemed like the easiest to pass.
The Republican party is the significant obstacle for ANY worthwhile idea/concept/proposal that would help everyone, not just the wealthy.
Note that Democrats already passed a relief bill that would help out Americans back in MAY, that bill is stuck on Mitch McConnell's desk along with other helpful bills that the House passed and sent over to the Senate.

We are talking about amounts of money so far beyond a border fence that´s it not even in the same universe.
so wtf is trump going talk about on tv then? didn't that orange asshole speak enough yesterday?
He's pretending he's saving the country when he's not doing anything. Also, he's calling Biden a socialist and sniffing a lot. It's a rally.
That's fair at least. The scales here are completely different.
I still feel like we might get another check at some point between now and the election, if only because Trump is going to want that to happen when whatever they come up with and whatever his EOs actually do will be seen as inadequate
payroll tax cut doesn't help the unemployed which is def some of his base, barely helps employees either, esp on the lower end, only helps businesses really. Could see if really helping some mom and pops to be sure but....
Projection. Everything he has accused Dems of he's been guilty of himself
It will help if Democrats keep pushing the formulation of a bill even after these dumb EOs. Saying that people need stimulus help and that R's and Trump aren't understanding that.
for anyone who ever played Zork, remember when dimwit flathead just adopted the entire kingdom and gave me allowance?
We might, but democrats aren't going to cave on EVERYTHING else just so people can get a check (nor should they).
This is a campaign rally, Trump is constantly blaming Democrats for stopping any progress on relief.
He gets what he wanted. A reduction in payments and states get no money to improve testing. Citizens get smaller unemployment benefits and no stimulus checks.
So... Unemployment benefits will be $400 a week, and no 2nd stimulus payments? Bummer for no stimulus pay.
If you could make a bigger mess of things, he will lol
the stimulus checks were largely agreed upon already with some other smaller measures, I wonder if the R's throw it out there in a stripped down bill to look they did something. It puts the dems in a harder corner to say no,

No they will not be because he doesn´t have enough money for that.

This is all smoke & mirrors; everything is still up in the air.
Y'all have to stop listening to Trump. He can't give $400 per month. He's just talking bs right now. Nothing has been decided by congress.
