It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Litigation is a form of nonviolent civil resistance.
All media, "msm" or not just report like if rump says it, it's done deal.
WHY does "the 4th estate," so enable the rump regime?

That stood out. Guess they changed the meaning of an EO: EOs are now Presidential to-do lists.
