Remember when Biden signed a bunch of executive orders and that was like, so huge of a deal that Republicans called him a tyrant.
So now that trump has signed more than Biden, how do we feel about that?

If you have to sign more executive orders in the first f****** days of your Administration than any other Administration, you're probably doing something wrong.
It's simple, really. You get all of D.C, and those who are fed up on the inside to storm the White House, and you drag that one little orange puke out and take care of business limb from limb. Then, you do your DAMNDEST to keep any and all vile authoritarian Reich-Wing slimes out your politics.
Yes, but alas, the biggest criminal of all is now in office. You don't bow to tyranny, you take it out. I know things are going to have to get pretty bad for it to get to that point, but when it does, you have two choices. You either knock the bully on his butt, or continue to live in Hell.
One point that often gets missed is that Obama was forced to issue executive orders just to get things done because the Republican Party decided to blindly oppose anything and everything he did - even the stuff they were in favor of before.
Pretty hypocritical of you to ignore the Democrats stubborn, partisan refusal to capriciously shut down Medicaid without any warning or explanation.
Couldn't they have met halfway and cancelled Medicaid with short notice and little explanation with a mean spirited attitude
Mitch McConnell literally gave himself the title of "Grim reaper" in an effort to block any and all of Obama's efforts. He even did this on national television! He has "won" every reelection since 🤷 tf
They also screamed like that when Biden signed a bunch of them his first day. “These things should be decided by Congress, not just by one person “, they said!
the looks on hypocrits' faces when confronted by their own contradictions, a mini slo-mo freeze-frame spanning truncated surprise instantly through reviled 2 a quarter-contorted grimace finished with that sour taste in the mouth with nothing 2 wash it away with; just desserts in the span of a second

I find things like this tiring because it implies possible good faith, that pointing out hypocrisy is somehow effective when dealing with post truth fascism
They don't care
They will never care about being outed as lairs because their voters don't care
Start the process #impeachtrump. No need to wait he has 1-abuse of power 2-obstruction of justice 3-violating public trust 4-failing to uphold the Constitution. We demand #accountability now!
Democrats were blocked on everything they tried to do, so how could they do that? Be realistic--the problem is people who vote Republicans into office.
100% back blaming fascist for trying to break the system to better themselves and no one else. I'm angry at democrats for not accomplishing more to safeguard the nation. But i agree that the true evil lies in the republican party and there desires to bulldoze anything that gets in the way of profit
I'm okay giving Democrats a share of the blame. Peloci and the corporate Dems have been playing with fire because it was short-term profitable and they thought this day would never come. If the old guard won't grow a spine they need to step down before they age out.
They make sense in a time of war, when decisions might need to be made and implemented immediately and you don't necessarily have the time to vote on everything. But that's the only time they make sense. And even then they're still pretty questionable.
I'd bet that this administration is very gullible to "spoofing" them in all types of ways in order to reduce their effectiveness in bringing down America. Two can play this “game”.
Nothing illegal, mind you, just effectively “chasing their tails”, instead of ruining lives.
Politics is one thing. Cruelty is another. The true Tyrant is measured by their self serving, indifference to the nation as a whole, & their immeasurable cruelty to those who have a different vision of the countries' destiny.
The problem with words like "tyranny" and "dictator" and "nazi" is that they now colloquially express mere disapprobation. They connote various forms of "woo bad."
So when an actual nazi tries to become a dictator and rule as a tyrant, you can't rely on those words to convey their denotation.
Exactly what I have been saying. I have more freedom when the democrats are in office than the republicans. The republicans want to take everything from us, and we are just supposed to be okay with that? My advice to the republicans is that you can only push people so far until something happens.
Just finished watching a Netflix movie "Number 24" and although it's about Norway during WWII it's a great reminder of how quick our slice of heaven can be lost to those driven by power, hate and greed! It happens fast people, and signs are everywhere in this new administration.

Project 2025 with no scrutiny! Oh, he never heard of it? White Supremacy in your face! Fight against this hypocrisy that Trump is parroting! He love it because they kiss his behind! They would eliminate him in a heartbeat, if he goes against them!
Hopefully the MAGA wake up to the and realize that Trump will squash them like old grapes if they don’t take his bullshit and pain he will inflict on all of us! He doesn’t give a shit about us! He’s about Trump!
It’s already begun. They use insulin, VA care, federal grants. Cool thing is MAGA are the poorest in the nation and they will suffer the most. I find that tidbit refreshing.
When you find out somebody is a republican, your job as a good American is to undermine and sabotage them in any way possible. Just like they do to us.
As a former republican I can confirm this. I remember the outcry over talk radio and on Faux Nooz about how tyrannical Obama was being with his outrageous number of executive orders. Too much power for one man, they said. Nobody wants a king, they said.
but an even more important question are Trump supporters and GOP (the Goose Stepping Old party) hypocrisy going to bring down the price of milk and eggs?
Like yeah they're hypocrites but if I were a conservative I'd just say "Well yeah he had lots of swamp to clean out so he had to do more executive orders." And they would accept your label of hypocrit because their audience sees that denouncement as an accolade.
(Putin was Existential level desperate for tRump to win - his regime, & probably life, depended upon it!! Putin didN't Just 'sit back' & hoped tRump won!) musk & Putin have been developing their relationship since 2022
Good point, but a false equivalency. Some of Trump's orders are blatantly illegal and violations of the Constitution (birthright citizenship, inspector general, ignoring Impoundment Act,...). Nothing like that under Biden, and relevant court orders were enforced. This is wholescale ignoring the law.
Keep vigilant and fight injustice. How? Support local elections, volunteer, support organizations filing suit against illegal actions. Be careful about what is real and what is meant to anger without real impact....
Turns out most of the "rules" are just gentlemen's agreements. Since there are a scant few gentlemen left at the head of the three branches, this is the result.
my question is if it was this easy for Trump to do executive orders why couldn't Biden been doing that to improve the country, either cause he doesn't care or he's too dumb to figure out he could use his power
"A hypocrite is someone who pretends to have certain moral beliefs or values but behaves in a way that contradicts those beliefs. Essentially, they say one thing but do another."
People acting solely out of their feels are not bothered by trivialities such as hypocrisy, irony, shame, or a need for an internally consistent ideology.
Maybe their animal symbol should be a gnat instead of an elephant. The story goes that an elephant never forgets and a gnat’s memory is nonexistent. Ergo, since the American Nazi Party has no memory to speak of, their symbol should be a gnat.

At some point you have to blame the fascists for fascism.
