Will start a running thread of the first day official proclamations and EOs; just links to the actual texts. If you want to tune it out feel free to mute the thread >

It was not penis size either. It wasn’t literal. It was a dig at the fact that he was new money - a vulgarian, a working man. The trope was that working people lacked the long tapered uncalloused fingers of the aristocracy. Drives me crazy that people miss the actual insult, which is worse.
Excellent! FYI for next time, the way to get a thread to disappear from your Following feed is to select "Hide post for me" on the first post. (Muting a thread just turns off notifications for a thread you've participated in.)
lol I saw a joke post on tumblr that was Carter in a meme format saying 'shame if a president died within 30 days of your inauguration and the flag was flown at half staff'
Pedantically those are proclamations, not EOs. The distinction isn't especially important, but basically: EOs are directives ostensibly internally-directed at the executive branch itself; proclamations are formal statements to a public audience.
For sure. Best I can do in this thread is try and sign-post where things are so folks who know far more can jump to the EOs relevant to them and parse them out much better
In other words, cease any activity beneficial to the people of the United States (for now), the people of the world, and the planet itself.
Freedom loving countries of the world won’t laugh at us, they’ll despise us for having turned our back on anyone anywhere who isn’t white, rich, and Xtian.
A complete return to pre-1964 non-civil rights era. When trump said he would make America great again, why didn’t we ask what he thought was our greatest era? Wait, we did.
He wouldn’t tell us because there were good things in all eras, on both sides, and telling us would give our enemies help.
It would be hilarious if Rubio doesn't get the gig and Kenna is left in that role. If only for the fact that he will NOT be the first Hispanic State Sec after so much bootlicking.
What a small, unhappy man. I can't even fathom the poverty of the soul must exist for an extraordinarily (materially) wealthy person, upon taking the most powerful position on the planet, to make this petty EO his first act. Pitiful.
Any constitutional lawyers out there who can say what checks and balances prevent his power to write an EO declaring a federal emergency so he can write his own laws ie energy and border crossing where there is not one? #LegalMinds #ConstitutionalLaw
