Did you think we would forget history???



Here are the facts.

Complete Executive Orders by calendar year (since 2001):

- 2001 (George W. Bush): 54
- 2002 (George W. Bush): 36
- 2003 (George W. Bush): 37
- 2004 (George W. Bush): 38

Here's a fact that you are too dumb to grasp: none of that matters.

An executive order can be one page or a thousand pages. It can strike out one previous executive order or many of them.

Biden expanded immigration thru out his entire term. Biden, and Harris the Border Czar, created the disaster that lost the election to an idiot like Trump.

In his first 100 days in office, Biden signed more than 60 executive actions, 24 of which are direct reversals of Trump’s policies.
Biden has defended the number as necessary to undo what he considers “bad policy” inherited from Trump, especially on immigration.
To date, 10 of his 12 actions on immigration are reversals of Trump’s policies.

“And I want to make it clear — there’s a lot of talk, with good reason, about the number of executive orders that I have signed — I’m not making new law; I’m eliminating bad policy,” Biden said as he signed a series of actions on immigration from the Oval Office on February 2. “What I’m doing is taking on the issues that — 99% of them — that the president, the last president of the United States, issued executive orders I felt were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration.”

This was the speech that made me lose all respect for Biden. He claimed to be a moderate and then did this bizarre speech, in a blood red light, shaking his fists like a traveling preacher, rambling about "Ultra MAGA." Which made MAGA sound cool, frankly.

It doesn't matter what labels you slap on the POTUS.
The fact is, affordability is key.
I could barely afford the lunch I took my family out for today at a restaurant we've been going to every Christmas season for the past 15 years. Prices are out of control in a way they never were under Biden.
The insane tariffs and the irrational, unpredictable, erratic and impulsive way Trump et al are handling the economy is destroying life for the middle class.
The very rich and oligarchs don't care if carrots cost $20 per pound, but for us poors, we are finding it harder and harder to pay for groceries thanks to Trump.
The midterms (if they are not stolen by the oligarchs' machinations) will be a reckoning for the MAGAs.
It can't come soon enough.
Affordability. (Oh, and Epstein.)

He will cancel all the midterms entirely. Just watch.

Kings don’t allow any elections.

Didn't the country have an election on November 4th? Please clarify so I'm unburdened by what has been.

They instinctively like authoritarian leaders—as long as it’s THEIR guy, not the other side’s guy.


To be fair, we had media silencing under the previous administration, lawfare against opponents, promotion of non-religious religions (LGBTQ+, BLM, etc), lying about the economy, and so on. Flip side, same coin.



A. Not a religion B. Trying to make society inclusive to marginalized groups is a worthy goal C. Is a major teaching of JC, last time I checked.


Also not “lawfare” when you are a criminal, which Trump is. You are just in a cult.



Oh it is totally a cult. A very misogynistic cult at that.

And yes lots of lawfare was committed.

But yes Trump wants immortality. And that’s why he’s slapping his name on everything and micromanaging.
