Sure, maybe you know more than everyone else. But I'll trust the people who work directly with the Senators and Congressman in Washington who actually know first hand what's going on. I spoke with one of them just yesterday about Cares Act 2.0
I'm not going to type out every detail of our nearly hour long conversation, but bottom line is that we will have an extension of the airline PSP within the next week. Two weeks tops.

POTUS has the authority to call them back. Also, they are still working deals behind the scenes. Wheels are still turning, even though all those criminals aren’t in DC to vote.

They are forced to come back ASAP from the Executive actions. Also, they were touting they were so close before the leave. (it’ll be wrapped up on big announcement friday!) Stock market up 300 points?! The more i’ve read about these unemployment bennies it’s almost a no brainer to take the furlough, especially as someone who is willing to work but can’t. Could turn out to be 7-1100 a week. Damn! Congress will have to intervene. is it time to dump AAL at 14/15 or hold out to see if it goes above $20 like it did prior to Cares 1.0?
And how about Russia w a vax lol

the executive action is DT's solution and middle finger to Pelosi to say "I am moving forward".

nobody is coming back unless Pelosi's offer is EXACTLY what Republicans want.

No, it's not. It's DJT doing what he does best. Putting on a show that is all glam and little substance. We have 3 branches of Government for a reason. The Executive doesn't control the money. The Legislative does. Trump thinks he can "rule" through Executive actions like he's a King and circumvent every bit of democracy.

Won't happen. These executive orders didn't do squat for anyone. Even his most loyal sidekicks in the Senate are saying as much. Look up Lindsay Graham as an example. The top negotiators of this thing are still working. Pelosi, Schumer, Mnuchin, and even Mcconnell. The only moron who went on vacation while our country burns is Mark Meadows. Nice of him, right?

Either way, everyone has to come back for a vote if the people negotiating come to an agreement.

You do realize Obama had as many and more executive orders? Oh and Nancy controls the house. Who currently isn’t in session?

Again just being objective to both sides. It is what it is but let’s not point fingers only one way.

If you want to be objective it helps to have facts. Obama had 276 in his entire 8 year presidency. Trump has had 180 in just over 3 years. That's an average of 52 per year for Trump and 35 for Obama. Trump has signed 43 in 2020 alone and we're not even finished with this year yet. The most Obama ever had in a single year was 41. For full context, George W had 291 in 8 years.
