Donald Trump: afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted for ten years.
We voted for this, get out of the way “progressives” unless you want to get steamrolled.

PS They don’t hate him. They hate us ... Americans.
He’s just in the way.
MAGA!

With few exceptions, Presidential Executive Orders are the Executive Branch unconstitutionally crossing over into the Legislative Branch and creating laws that is constitutionally vested only Congress in Congress.

I.E. Presidential Executive Orders are generally illegal.

I saw that and immediately knew it was a major troll. The wacky left will bring even more pressure on chucky to stand his ground and 100,000 more pink slips will go out.

I’m tempted to call his office and demand he stand firm.

Thank you!

I find you use of the adjective “democratic” so annoying when used to describe all things Democrat.

President Reagan always made a point of saying
Democrat politicians
Democrat policies
Democrat party
Etc…
Not ‘democratic”..

And I’m very happy to say that President Trump always gets this right as well.

“Notwithstanding the unconstitutionally federally-protected unions...”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Federal workers get the right to join unions through a Presidential Executive Order, which one would think could be undone by another E.O.?

Even Executive Orders have to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act. The whole point is to avoid whipsawing the government each time a new administration arrives.

Nice to see them taking the “you’re really not gonna like it” option.

Pity the RNC is so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

In 2016, I voted for a drastic reduction in the size, scope, power, and cost of government. The result was a half-hearted effort.

In 2020, I voted for a drastic reduction in the size, scope, power, and cost of government. The result was the biggest case of Grand Theft Electoral in the history of human civilization.

In 2024, I voted for a drastic reduction in the size, scope, power, and cost of government. Looks like we’re getting much more than a half-hearted effort this time. I VOTED FOR THIS!!!

No Mercy. Abolish an agency. Wipe it out in total.

Abolish the BATFE+. We already have an Internal Revenue Service for collecting taxes.

Abolish the Department of Education. Fedzilla has no business doing anything at all with education.

Abolish the Department of Energy. Do away with the "Green" crap ... the rest can survive as a mere commission dealing with atomic energy ...
