I dont know how a president asks a country to give him four more years in charge when this is how hes running the country now, but that is what we are doing right now and all of its surreality. Nothing about the gravity of the situation appears to be sinking in for the president. Even today, even still. This thing is going away. It will go away like things go away. It will go away like things go away. Its not even a simile. He doesnt even have another thing to compare it to, some other thing that goes away where you can say this thing is going away, it will go away like x. He doesnt even have an x in minding. He just says it will go away like things go away. Theres no reason to believe this will go away. Thats not how contagious viral epidemics work.

We have the preview of attacks no matter who she is. Well start this hour with aide for americans and aid for businesses gone on this day. The white house is on defense from potential legal challenges. The target is the president s series of executive actions that bypass congress. The unilateral moves including a temporary pause on payroll taxes that Fund Social Security and medicare. Tom democra Top Democrats have slammed the action. I agree with the republican said it was unconstitutional slop. While it has the illusion of saying were going to have a moratorium on evictions, it says im going to ask the folks in charge to study if that is feasible. He says hes going to do the payroll tax, what hes doing is undermining Social Security and medicare. These are illusions. Kelly, that was statement from pelosi this morning.
Democratic leaders have been add an impasse over Coronavirus Relief for weeks now. 25 of the 400 benefit expected to come from the same states the president called poorly run just months ago.
