It seems that nobody has gotten their official “How am I supposed to feel about this” communique from the DNC leadership yet.

Trump did it....it can’t be good right? Where are the talking points?

EO are good and binding when my half white guy is doing it.

Our media pumped us up with all the good feelers of what his intentions were so the methods and actual outcomes were irrelevant.

Now we must spike the Cheeto dust off lady liberties fingers.

We must call everyone we disagree with nazis.

Talking points are easy: Pelosi says what he did is unconstitutional.
They don't know what else to do or say now. Mnuchin threw them a line today. Let's see if they are smart enough to take it.

Sigh. You mean we have all gotten tired of pointing out his constant stream of EOs, and know that not a single person who supports trump already will care that he's done one more EO. (of course, the instant Obama did one, it was a constitutional crisis).....

It's so bad I honestly have no idea which EO you're asking us why we aren't complaining about.

I think I saw and heard a reasonable amount of reasonable reaction.

The clearly contradictory/confusing parts were pointed out, Governors expressed dismay about where the 400 bucks will come from as Trump wooed what he thinks are voters leaning socialist...

Haven't heard tons of rah rah from the GOP though. Maybe they quietly like some leftist ideas after all.

Lots of concern about what didn't get dealt with though, like struggling businesses.

Could be cuz they think (rightly) that it is unconstitutional just like the EO on the Dreamers was?

I heard that Trump is going to sign an Executive Order banning the Rona virus.
Just so he can say it's still here because the Dems didn't support it....

According to the appellant court the only thing unconstitutional is an EO repealing an unconstitutional EO.

One side or the other dusts off The Constitution only when it serves their purpose to chastise the other side for their usurpations of power that they don't like.
Otherwise federalism is long dead and The U.S. Constitution as well as the state constitutions are in effect dead letters. Many governors and their legislatures are de facto dictators , Trump like his predecessors wields imperial dictates (executive orders) over the land, and Congress and the Senate recognise no limits to what they can legislate or what they can spend. Hell, Democrats and Republicans don't even need tax revenue, the FED central bank will just counterfeit whatever fiat loot is required. The only question that remains is how long before the whole house of cards collapses.
