AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR TRUMP

You wouldn't know what a dictator was even if Adolf Hitler stood right in front of you.

Please tell me just one thing that Trump forced you to do. Just one thing. Just so you know, forcing you to do something against your will is what dictators do.

A dictator would do something like force all new cars made after 2030 to be electric. Force a nation to become dependent on foreign oil.

A dictator would invent a problem and then force a solution. Like telling everyone that their health insurance company is doing everything all wrong. Then forcing those companies to offer an inferior healthcare and forcing the citizens to pay for that inferior and higher priced healthcare.

A dictator would sign one executive order after another to create laws without the consent of the people and in direct violation of the constitution.

So far Biden is averaging a total of 2 more Executive Orders than trump did per year.... Considering that some of his E.Os were negating or reversing some of trump's, it seems possible that at the end of 4 years Biden will have enacted less EO's than Trump did.

One thing trump forced upon the American people was to hand over their bump stocks for guns nationwide... Total ban.

Republicans have also pushed for banning books in schools. I actually looked at one of the books on the list and it seemed a bit ridiculous to ban. It was something like... 2 guys (who MAY have been gay..did not specifically say they were..) who were portrayed in one of the illustrations taking care of a baby together. Oh the horrors. They might have been a gay couple.

It is not the number, it is what they are about. There is nothing inherently wrong with an executive order. They came about so that the president could set up the executive branch the way the best saw fit. For about the 1st 100 years most presidents were fine with how the executive branch operated.

Then the Progressive era started and little tyrants like Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt got elected. But even so executive orders mostly remained about how the executive branch operated.

Then came Obama. Obama was a Marxist. That is a fact and not an insult. Obama thought the executive orders were so he could dictate laws that he could not get passed in Congress. He tried to nationalize the banks and the auto industry but mostly failed. He tried to set up a "rat on your neighbor" website to have a list of those who opposed him 3 times and failed. When he found out just how limited the powers of the president has he turned to executive orders and executive actions to dictate law.

One of the great disappointments I had with Trump is he didn't try to shut executive branch law making down permanently.

Biden gets in and the first thing he does is sign a stack of executive orders that were already written for him. He didn't even know what he was signing, he just knew that he had to sign them.

Biden's orders are what caused the inflation we are seeing. Biden's orders made us dependent on OPEC again and now OPEC controls the price of gasoline in America.

Trump could have sign a gazillion executive orders and I would have absolutely no problem with them IF they were just about how the executive branch operated. I especially would have loved them if he shut down all of the superfluous branches of the government, like the Dept of Homeland Security, Dept of Education, the State Dept, the IRS, OSHA, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, The Welfare Dept, Medicare and even the Social Security Administration. All of that should go away. It is a major drain on the economy and the individual taxpayer. There is just no excuse for the amount of taxes that the federal government steals from us.

Anyway, my point is, it is not the number but the purpose of those executive orders.

"....create laws without the consent of the people and in direct violation of the constitution."

".....it's the purpose of those executive orders"

Sure seemed like your original beef was the EOs themselves.... Now you seem to be OK with them so long as you agree with what's in them.

It has always been the content, not the quantity.

LOL!!! I wish I could play a Jedi mind trick. Maybe others complained about the quantity. I do think that presidents today spend too much time writing executive orders.

I am and have always been a freedom guy and a constitution guy. If a president wants to write 1000 executive orders that only affect how the executive branch and NOT directly or indirectly the American people. When people's lives are affected in any way (good or bad) then that becomes a violation of the constitution. The ONLY branch that has the authority under the constitution to directly and indirectly affect our lives, for better or worse, is congress, specifically the House of Representatives.

The Constitution is a major frustration to the left because they want to make big sweeping changes to society and they're tired of waiting for stuff to make it through Congress. The founders were very smart in building gridlock into Congress. Every time Congress passes a law and it is signed by the president we lose a little more freedom. The founders wanted to slow that down as much as possible.

Democrats want the "fundamentally change" (as Obama said) our system of government. Biden wants to "build back better". You can't "build back" unless you 1st tear down. They are not the 1st 2 Dems to want these sweeping changes, Dems have been working at it for a century.

Dems want Marxism. Right now they are heading straight into global fascism (a variation of Marxism).
