Sen. Klobuchar Slams Trump’s Executive Actions As An Unconstitutional ‘Gimmick’ | MSNBC

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the latest on virus relief negotiations, saying that more needs to be done even after Trump took executive actions, a move she criticizes as an unconstitutional “gimmick", adding that Americans are “struggling to get by. Some are out of work. They need real unemployment benefits.” She also says that she still believes Joe Biden should select a woman of color as a running mate, but that she will "strongly support whoever he picks because they're such a great group of women." Aired on 08/10/2020.

Sen. Klobuchar Slams Trump’s Executive Actions As An Unconstitutional ‘Gimmick’ | MSNBC

    1. Wasn’t it  Dr Fauci that said
      “President Trump saved millions of lives by restricting travel from China and Europe? Wasn’t Biden and the Demotards against it? Wasn’t it the previous administration that left our stock pile of PPE depleted? Wasn’t it Demotards that put sick people in nursing home?
      Wasn’t it the Demotards encouraging people to go out and have a good time 2 months after the travel the ban?
      And what exactly have the demotards done to help? Oh that’s right they’re more concerned about ” “defunding”  law enforcement.
      Bunch of do nothing Demotards!
      I thought so.

    2. According to Mueller Report: ‘“. . .the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”’
      ‘”I can report categorically that the inspector general has found that all four FISA warrants [on the Trump Campaign] were illegal. They were based on false information supplied to the FISA Court.’”

    4. Save those biden 2020 signs!!

      > >Debate-BowI 2020<< Demorats are morons. They don't even realize President Trump is using reverse psychology on them like an adult uses on a child! It's hilarious. Debate-BowI 2020👈

  1. t’rump supporters: “Look at how t’rump is owning the libs!”
    Their kids: “We’re hungry. Are we going to have to miss another dinner?”
    t’rump supporters: “Yes, sorry. We have no money because we have no more unemployment. But you can survive on liberal tears.”
    Their kids: “So hungry….”

    1. Tell that to Pelosi… Trump just circumvented her with an executive order and helped the American people with financial aid. Just google it, dude.

    2. so trump took food stamps for women girls and babys wiil now stary and dye from covie great man killing children of god agoiinst god

  2. I just watched a video of a woman in Memphis that got evicted from her home after being in the hospital for weeks with Covid19. It wasn’t for unpaid rent, it was for her deceased partners deceased MOTHERS hospital bills.. They wanted the house so they could sell it.. How horrible is this country? The richest country yet the President can use our tax dollars to go golfing while we suffer because they don’t want to help us with our tax dollars.. This is a sad country we live in.. Nowhere near the greatest..

    1. ღSwnsasyღ _ trump is golfing with our tax money and making profits! No wonder he loves this president business.

    1. Your ancient hobgoblin concept isn’t going to do anything, people need to open their eyes and communicate, we are all you got. It was fools bringing in some spirit entity that gave us this curse of trump.

    2. Tell that to Pelosi… Trump just circumvented her with an executive order and helped the American people with financial aid. Just google it.

    3. According to Mueller Report: ‘“. . .the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”’

    4. @madd monk you have it backwards. Pelosi will circumvent Trump’s illegal, unconstitutional power grab.

    1. Sadly some of the people who work at the post office do too? What is wrong with people?? I mean sheeple!??😉

  3. Our president and our government needs to stop playing games, American people are out of work and hungry

    1. *MUTE ALL RUSSIAN TROLLS-BOTS & TRUMP’S-PUTIN’S REPUBLICAN MAGA NAZI BALL-LICKER’S WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS!!💯👿👿🆗🇺🇸✌😂*

    2. trump has taken food stamps from women children and babys dont need food by the dirty hater trump killes

    3. @Claudia Nuss Schulte THERE’S ALSO 28+ MILLION PEOPLE ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS TOO BECAUSE OF TRUMP NOT TO MENTION THE TENS OF MILLIONS THAT ALSO HAVE TO GO TO THE FOOD BANK SINCE EVEN $600 & NOW $400 A WEEK FOR THOSE NOW UNEMPLOYED CAN’T PAY THE RENT, BILLS & FOOD FOR A FAMILY TOO!!💯👿👿🆗🇺🇸

    4. @Kevin McNeil The ones who are right now “playing games” are the ones on your side of the aisle. From Covid19 to standing in the way of financial relief, to destroying long time institutions like the USPS, to covering for all of Trumps crimes.

    5. He’s working on the billionaire agenda. Unbelievable that President Trump proposes a capital gains tax cut. I wonder which billionaire is pushing this policy this change? Sheldon Adelson.. Foster Friess… Robert Mercer… or maybe Ken Langone… The Republican Party is CORRUPT. Conservatives… Ya Right… Blowing Up the Deficit.

  4. My son had to go 2 days without meds and I couldn’t go get them because the meds were already filled & sent out. He’s really playing with people’s health. VOTE HIM OUT‼️

    1. @Robert Alan this IS the GOP’s fault. it’s trumps puppet Dejoy who’s screwing with the postal service.

  5. You have found out now, you have no control over Trump because your political system is a shambles.. You have no checks or balances. Trump is running rough shod over everyone apart from his mates..

    1. Unfortunately a) a lot of what the public thought were checks and balances were nothing more than norms, just guidelines. We should petition, once we kick the crooks out, to make this laws. b) The other half of Gov., the republican party, have turned out to be as corrupt as trump, and have abetted and protected him instead of the country.

    2. @SopranoAscends C6 Seriously? I don’t think you REALLY do know Soprano – you have been letting it go on forever – DUMP TRUMP NOW – by constitution or by force !!!!

  6. There is a lot of “talk” about all the illegal gimmicks but nothing is being done about it! The attack on the U.S. Postal Service has happened and there seem to be zero repercussions….

    1. @RAC RAC LOL I talk so much eventually somebody will catch what I mean what is it you need clarity on

    2. CALL and Write your Rep in congress to act! If your Rep. is a Chump toadie, pick a Democrat to call and write. We have less than 3 months to fix it! Also……

    1. If 45 can’t have America, he will do his best to destroy it. That’s what narcissistic sociopaths do.

    2. @Leonie Romanes 
      The only narcissistic psychopaths are the Democrats.
      According to Nadler, Antifa in Portland is a myth.

      It doesn’t get any more dystopian than that.
      That’s why you will lose. The majority of people are not reality deniers.

    3. He knows the courts after him and they can’t do anything while he is president or Trump would have resigned by now.

    4. @Wil the pill Orshal Hey moron…..Obama said he had a pen and a phone if Congress wouldn’t act he would……

  7. Mrs Klobuchar said it was a bandaid solution, well when you have a scab of a president bandaid solutions are all he can do.

  8. There is not a thing wrong with ambition whether male or female, where the trouble comes in is when its CORRUPT AMBITION, which we are witnessing at the top levels of government.

    1. Jesus Avila… the embarrassing thing for decent Americans, is that we in the rest of the world are also seeing this corruption on full display.
      Our condolences for having to endure not only a pandemic but Bunkerboy at the same time.
      A perfect storm.

  9. Executive Action. it should be called Desperation. Because that’s what it is Donald Gotti. From getting help from The Russians again to manipulating the post offices to win the election.

    1. @Robert THE RUSSIANS ARE STILL INVOLVED IN US ELECTIONS AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE HELPING THEM TO DO IT. US Intelligence exposed what they are doing and is watching them very closely..Their report is now released.

      BY JUSTICE.GOV

      MUELLER’S OFFICIAL REDACTED REPORT ON RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 ELECTION

      Report On The Investigation Into
      Russian Interference In The
      2016 Presidential Election
      Volume I of II
      Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III
      Submitted Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 600.8(c)
      Washington, D.C.
      March 2019
      INTRODUCTION TO VOLUME I

      This report is submitted to the Attorney General pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 600.8(c), which states that, “[a]t the conclusion of the Special Counsel’s work, he . . . shall provide the Attorney
      General a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions [the Special Counsel] reached.”

      The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Evidence of Russian government operations began to surface in mid-2016. In
      June, the Democratic National Committee and its cyber response team publicly announced that Russian hackers had compromised its computer network. Releases of hacked materials—hacks
      that public reporting soon attributed to the Russian government—began that same month.

    2. @Robert You must not have been watching the news when Trump asked Russia directly for help himself. The campaign is irrelevant when the boss did so on national TV.

    3. Robert How do you know what the Mueller Report says; all we’ve seen is Bullfrog Barr’s redacted version (although once President Psycho is out of office, we’ll get to see it; then watch the heads roll).

  10. Trump knows his idea isn’t going to happen but it sure helps to muddy the waters, which is his real goal.

    1. Sad to see the states are not able to help their unemployed because they have no money. Wonder how that could be.

  11. Can he even score in golf, we saw his resume and we do know that joe biden can ride a bike, and daily exercise

    1. He is ruining the country, now working on the billionaire agenda. Unbelievable that President Trump proposes a capital gains tax cut. I wonder which billionaire is pushing this policy this change? Sheldon Adelson.. Foster Friess… Robert Mercer… or maybe Ken Langone… The Republican Party is CORRUPT. Conservatives… Ya Right… Blowing Up the Deficit.

  12. Why isn’t Congress bringing in Louis Dejoy in to testify and explain his actions? He is a government employee, Congress has oversight.

    1. @José de Jesus No dear. It is because he was appointed in May, and there were more pressing issues atop the pile of crap Trump has dumped for us.

    2. We have to CALL and Write our Reps in congress to act. We have less than 3 months. If your Rep is a chump toadie then write/call a democratic one.
      also….

  13. This is how Adolf Hitler started, controlling communication,be careful because next they will be reading your post!
