Oh, WE noticed. Some of us did, at least. And WHY would Trump sign such an EO unless he expected it to be needed?
Another posting earlier today with some 66 comments if anyone
cares to scan thru them.

Did President Trump Just Declare WAR on Hillary, Deep State and DC Swamp?

We on FR must be ahead of the curve, think most here are aware of the Dec 21 EO.
THANKS DEPORT.
“Anyone in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets- along with any U.S. corporation who employs foreigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of the company. Trump’s EO calls these individuals “an extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States.”
If this story is accurate, this EO is completely unconstitutional and scares the hell out of me. Everything can be labelled an extraordinary threat, etc. — the appearance is that those declared guilty would have to prove themselves innocent, and spend huge effort and money to claw back their assets if falsely accused. This throws due process rights to the wind. The opportunities for abuse are immense, if not under Trump, by future administrations. We’ve seen what the DoJ and FBI have done with FISA, and what LEO groups across the country do with asset forfeiture. God help us if this report is true.
Pray God make this all happen, and protect our President from the lunatics arrayed against him and against US.
To kind of paraphrase the bible, there’s not enough hellfire around.
The very worst thing America has done is to plunge itself into a morass of lies.
I would hope this means “pursuant to all applicable statutes and laws” which already pronounce such deep dutch but have scarcely been brought into operation in modern days. Because of all the abominable nod-and-wink. That’s still pretty serious.
It could be kind of like how the bible is used by preachers to warn that we’re all going to hell if we don’t get saving religion.
This will just be shot down in the 9th circuit, then on to the SCOTUS after years long appeals. The dems know the long game and it’ll be enough time for the clintons to expire naturally and all others to flee or find a way out of any criminal charges. These people aren’t stupid, their followers are.
“The great conservative talk host Michael Savage was the first to define liberalism as a “mental illness.”
No, the great G. K. Chesterton beat him to it by a hundred years or so.
“This will just be shot down in the 9th circuit”
At some point President Trump will have enough political capital to invoke separation of powers.
I hope you’re right. Maybe the dismantling of the 9th circuit will occur in my lifetime too. Not sarcasm. I hope it happens.
Did he just . . .
Um well, he did that along time ago. At the debates and on the campaign trail. And he meant every word.
The noted C. S. Lewis pointed out that the devil sends errors into the world in pairs.
Where did he say that, please, and what errors do you mean?
It’s easily googleable.
I found the quotation, but not the source.
“He (the devil) always sends errors into the world in pairs—pairs of opposites...He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.”
Profound as always. What would you say is the opposite error to leftism?
Do the logic yourself.
“Do the logic yourself.”
Gee, I’m sorry. I thought you wanted to discuss the matter. Don’t know why I would imagine such a thing.
As far as logic goes, it is not possible to love God or hate evil adequately.
