"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...

What executive orders did genocide joe even use? Arming zionists quicker?

It would've been awesome if dude had come into office on the first day with a pile of executive orders for social issues. But that's not what dude is about at all.

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.

Sure thing, bud

Watch Trump forgive 10x the student loans Biden did, and SCOTUS ok it because "reasons."

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?"

Dictator for just one day on the first day... And then permanent ruler the next

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
