Dems lost their bargaining chip. Now they will onstruct any Corona bill and will most likely try to sue against this bill, resulting in them looking bad.

Now to be fair, this may not be 100% legal what Trump did, but if the courts strike it down, it'll still show good optics for him

I think it would be suicide for dems to take it to court. Make them look REALLY bad when people are hurting.

Every time I think they’ve hit rock bottom, they bring in an excavator.

And that's the play here.

GEOTUS has them in a box.

It's arguably not legal for him to do this. And if (when) the dems fight it, there is no way they can cleanly spin it any other way than it's the dems "cutting off" the money to the covid unemployed.

If the dems don't fight it, Trump is the one who helped people.

Spez: Yeah. Confirmed! Lol

He’s diverting unused funds from the CARES act. So it’s money already approved by Congress.

It’s similar to the way he diverted funds for the wall and that iirc held up in court.

It’s a win win. !!!
