Biden revokes Trump order to punish statue vandals
BBC News ^ | May 15, 2021

Posted on 05/15/2021 7:44:56 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Joe Biden has revoked a string of proclamations by Donald Trump, including an order to punish vandals who destroy monuments.

Mr Trump issued the order amid last year's social justice protests as statues were being defaced or toppled.

Mr Biden also rescinded Mr Trump's plans for a sculpture garden to honour American heroes.

And he canned a 2019 proclamation that sought to bar entry to immigrants who could not afford health insurance.

Mr Trump issued an order in June 2020 instructing the federal government "to prosecute to the fullest extent" any person "that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue".

The proclamation - which singled out "rioters, arsonists and left-wing extremists" - was a popular talking point for the Republican president at his rallies.

Mr Biden also took down Mr Trump's order in October 2019 that immigrants must prove they could cover medical costs before being allowed into the US, a policy that was quickly blocked by a federal judge.

"My Administration is committed to expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare," including for non-citizens, Mr Biden said as he revoked that proclamation.

On Friday, Mr Biden also scrapped his predecessor's orders taking aim at social media "censorship" and for all US foreign aid to be branded with a logo reflecting "the values and generosity of the American people".

Now what in the hell is the purpose of this???

Trump MUST be erased from history. https://culturacolectiva.com/history/hatshepsut-egyptian-pharaoh-reign-conspiracy is a good accounting of a Pharaoh that did well for Egypt but was erased from history.

The first part of the article starts with:

Human memory is fragile and forgetful. What remains permanent is in the hands of those who create the official narrative. They take what appears functional and erase the rest. Text books, monuments, and remembrance days gallantly frame heroes through the heroic deeds that changed the course of history. Yet behind this reimagined tale of humanity, there are numerous stories that present a different vision of the past. The life of Hatshepsut is living proof that historical chronicles are rarely objective and tend to exalt, distort, or even forget people that are seen as “inconvenient.”

Unbelievable... thing of the message that this sends.

- Destroying our history was and is the right thing to do….. and by inference, it must be replaced with whatever it is that’s being promoted by the thugs.
- Preserving history is not worth spit.
- The thugs who defaced and toppled the statues were in the right and anyone who opposed them were wrong to try and stop them.
- Those who opposed the thugs are actually the ones to be feared and despised.

Don’t ask Biden. As left as Biden is, I don’t think he’d be in favor of statues being pulled down here and there. So this is probably a case where he did not even glance at the order before signing it.

If Donald Trump had approved a cure for cancer, Biden would cancel it out of sheer spite.

Biden isn’t doing a damn thing except selling his soul to the devil to be “fake president.”
People who want to SHIT IN THE FACES of Americans and the DISMEMBER the CONSTITUTION are giving these orders and paying people to do it.

The world and especially myself are growing weary of the ping ponging of U.S. policy.

Chinese style “cultural revolution.”

Pretty effective for childish. weak minded, immature wimps that gravitate to gangs and social clicks for self-affirmation.

They will be the phase two targets of the State.

Per usual, liberals support anything that either destroys the country or makes everyone else miserable

Other than the wholesale pandering to any aggrieved group, this Administration has no coherent domestic Nor foreign policy theme, indeed no concept of anything whatsoever, other than the dismantling of anything that Trump did. It is really as simple as that.

While immense problems are not just going on, but threatening to become much more serious, these fools are concerned about the Dynamics of statue preservation, the woke use of synthetic gender pronouns, transgender rights that affect 2% of the population, and installing their buddies in lucrative positions while they grift this country and its economy into hell.
