I'm 100% OK with this. It's sad that this had to even be included. Trump is like a 5 year old who keeps sticking his hand in the cookie jar, so his parents have to install a lock on the cookie jar.

 

It's actually not just Trump businesses.  It's all members of Congress and their families.  This will be interesting because a lot of spouses/their kids/inlaws of Congresspeople have interests/board seats in corporations/rich company people.  For instance, Nancy Pelosi's husband owns some company in San Francisco.  So that company would not be eligible for aid.

Well, it's good that they're all holding themselves accountable (at least, that's how it appears to be). Interesting that it was the Dems who pushed for it to be included.

No I have TDS because I don't like Trump. I'm hoping someone on the right can save me from this disorder.

2. No, the president cannot simply order state and local officials to change their policies

Here we have issues that fall under the headings of both federalism and separation of powers. Let’s start with federalism.

Most readers will appreciate this already, but it needs to be said: Our constitutional order has a federal structure, meaning that (a) federal powers are supreme, yes, but limited in scope and (b) the state governments are independent entities, not mere subordinate layers under and within the federal government (that is, the federal-state relationship is not similar to the way that counties and cities are subordinate layers under the state governments).

What follows from this? The federal government cannot commandeer the machinery of the state governments (or, by extension, of local governments). That is, the federal government cannot coerce the states into taking actions to suit federal policy preference.

I fully expect 14th and 1st amendment challenges to start up soon. Some of these cities may end up owing some cash the longer this goes on.

MAGA porn.  

This is what the MAGA's second in line chosen one has time to do, meanwhile my daughter called crying, the Covid she treated was puking all over, then died. 

I know it's funny, especially if it can own a lib.

“Looks like a third rate Grandstander named @RepThomasMassie, a Congressman from, unfortunately, a truly GREAT State, Kentucky, wants to vote against the new Save Our Workers Bill in Congress,” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets Friday morning.

“He just wants the publicity. He can’t stop it, only delay, which is both dangerous & costly.”

“Workers & small businesses need money now in order to survive. Virus wasn’t their fault. It is ‘HELL’ dealing with the Dems, had to give up some stupid things in order to get the ‘big picture’ done, 90% GREAT!” Trump tweeted. “WIN BACK HOUSE, but throw Massie out of Republican Party!”

Trump missed a chance to call him Thomas Dumbassie.

He's not that clever. He usually just recycles the same five insults.
