    “Biden is a dictator, he uses executive orders!”

    “Trump is a man of action working for the people, he uses executive orders to get stuff done!”

    Fuck you dishonest propagandist assholes…

    Dems better be ready to challenge every single one of those orders just like the GOP did with Biden. But I’m not holding my breath, especially with an illegitimate Supreme Court.

      Well SCOTUS already ruled that the President can do anything, including assassinating political opponents. Democrats will be able to do nothing but sit back and watch.

        That’s with respect to his personal criminal liability. His presidential orders can still be sued and taken to court.

    I mean everyone was warned about it, they gladly vote for the guy so - to quote the first lady - “I don’t really care, do you?”

        Maybe he’ll just speedrun it and drops all pretense. Maybe the January 20th schedule goes like this:

        12 PM: swearing in

        2 PM: signing of first executive orders

        4 PM: coronation. He’s literally declared himself, by executive order, absolute monarch “King Trump.” He has a gaudy royal coronation, crown, golden scepter, gilded throne and all. Some Catholic bishop performs the ceremony.

        8 PM: First Royal Address. The Oval Office has been reconfigured to be a gilded and bejeweled throne room.

        I imagine something like this.

          Lol. Mention second amendment, get comment removed. (“Prepare your second amendment” not even suggesting anything other than your RIGHT to arm yourself)

          • you’re right. Prepare to surrender, lick the boots, and kiss the ring. If you are allowed to live.

          Your downvotes will be noted by the the gestapo for your assistance in squashing any thought of resistance.

          You have gained one bootlicking point.
