Trump in his glory. The MOST IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE.
Even when it is the dumbest or most illegal.

househund.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dubya didn’t even win the popular vote in 2000 and SCOTUS gave him the electoral college. Way fewer EOs however!

nightagent60.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sad things is why enough people voted for him to make it this close.

trueoak.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also sad with the people elected to the senate and house.

aquastell.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those that simply did not bother to vote also helped get him elected.

nightagent60.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unfortunately many still don’t realize the implications of inactions.

aquastell.bsky.social•3 days ago

I also get the impression a number of his voters didn't do any research. They just assumed he would better for the country than the alternative. Now they believe otherwise.

nightagent60.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well their version of research may not be proper research. Listening to Joe Rogan is not research though many use that as their basis of research and voting decision. And many of them just like his tone which then makes me concerned that his tone is represented of many Americans.

aquastell.bsky.social•2 days ago

It becomes problematic when one can no longer discern between the facts and ones opinion.

richdoolsjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's a pawn and thinks he's a king....

ibnorfolk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ruling by decree. How quaint. We haven’t had a monarch do that in England since 1640.

He was executed by decapitation.

annunciator.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our constitutional crisis, already upon is, is that via executive orders Trump is actually dramatically changing the country, pretty much as he sees fit. My bad....I thought our constitution required all three branches of government to do that....

reexamineall.bsky.social•2 days ago

No one has convinced me beyond a reasonable doubt that he did win the election. trump insinuated that musk took care of the tabulating computers. This seems possible, if not probable.

uriahforfun.bsky.social•2 days ago

No, they didn't need to tamper. They had already legitimized all their ways of cheating as legal: ridiculously extreme gerrymandering, voter intimidation, denial of access, and essentially class warfare.

vtroy.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Rs have the Senate, the House, and the White House. Why all the EOs?

uriahforfun.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because they can't even build a consensus around their wackadoodle policies enough to pass a law so they just took the law making away from congress, because who is going to stop them?

wneuhauser.bsky.social•3 days ago

According to Republicans, Presidential use of Executive Orders is a sign of illegal dictator lawmaking, until now…

daranglenn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Remember when Republicans pretended to be outraged that Obama was doing executive orders? And all the press pretended that was a sincere, principled objection and nattered on about it for weeks?

Good times.

chrismardell.bsky.social•2 days ago

Separate line for EOs blocked by courts?

nekodad.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'd actually like a left progressive President to sign even more. But for positive things for the whole of the population. Not reactionary things using fear tactics.

Every time a Democrat plays by outdated norms not respected by the Republican party an angel loses its wings

sghgo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump administration has shown no interest in passing legislation even though there are Republican majorities in both houses of congress. Not hiding the desire to move to an imperial presidency. Unfortunately, Republicans in congress don’t care about being sidelined.

trurl2020.bsky.social•3 days ago

By less than HRC won it...

alexandergruchala.bsky.social•3 days ago

They really are trying to force an empire instead of a republic.

I wonder how the legislation signed graph looks in comparison.

Wondering how many of these are legal and will not be overturned by the courts?

andygradel.bsky.social•2 days ago

It kills me that the same networks who complained about Biden using executive orders to go around Congress now broadcast Trump's daily exec order signing "ceremony."

bowprow.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are EOs that stay within the bounds of the Constitution, and then there are Trump’s EOs that fall outside of Constitutional and Federal statute. The majority of court challenges have ruled against Trump for that reason. Can the Congress do more to reign Trump in? How can “We, the people” help?

From the Party that claimed Executive Orders were tyranny:

“How I learned to stop worrying and love the Executive Order”

milksteakops.bsky.social•2 days ago

Project 2025 in a nutshell. Pass endless executive orders on policies even the most extreme candidate in history distanced himself from before the election.

stone1glo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can’t tell MAGA that. They are convinced it was a huge mandate!!

goldcountryrich.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's released so many EOs b/c he knows he doesn't have the votes in Congress. He's relying on his goons to enforce them, against which numerous law suits have been filed.

anniebkay.bsky.social•2 days ago

They were all pre written by Heritage & Russia.

jimhigham.bsky.social•2 days ago

He got fewer actual total individual votes than Clinton. In a normal democracy Clinton would have been president, not Trump.

fermidox.bsky.social•2 days ago

I see a trend unfortunately.

wodafuh.bsky.social•2 days ago

I guess the next president will need to use a mechanical pen to reverse them all in time to save the nation. Or she can just hold a ceremony to declare them null and void and flush them down a toilet. That would be more constitutionally acceptable than their original signing.

2bittersweet.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are they counting the orders he signed about things he has no legal authority to regulate?

jonesro.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ruling by fiat, not legislation. This needs to be stopped.

surfesq.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is how a POTUS moves his/her agenda forward — especially the unconstitutional portion of it — without needing the Legislature to engage. POTUS effectively has commandeered the legislative function.

thetimeofmonsters.bsky.social•3 days ago

Only 137? Feels like thousands

robh84.bsky.social•2 days ago

So much for his proclaimed "mandate".

Republicans are in full control right now and have passed basically nothing.

I'm sure they are waiting for the right distraction to pass a national abortion ban.

wascr1us.bsky.social•3 days ago

He and the cultists think that he's making Laws in this way, but they are all idiots and have never actually read the Constitution. (or seen Schoolhouse Rock, apparently).

uriahforfun.bsky.social•2 days ago

Their magic only works if you believe it. If U.S. Citizens accept EOs as the new way to write laws, they will be.

wascr1us.bsky.social•2 days ago

I bought a pile of pocket constitutions from the ACLU website, and have been passing them out. :)

donttakemealive.bsky.social•3 days ago

Translation: He has no clue how to pass legislation. He pushes his bullshit like this......

jdurham124.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s going to wear out his autopen

belcaro.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump's executive orders were prepared in advance by the directives outlined in Project 2025. They were placed in front of him to sign which he happily did. He probably didn't even read them.

proudlondoner05.bsky.social•2 days ago

99% of them he’d never even heard about before signing. They’re pretty much all Project 2025.

trueoak.bsky.social•2 days ago

So many Executive Orders and so few Bills signed.

probon.bsky.social•2 days ago

So quaint. And prescient in 2017.
"Republicans skewered President Obama as an "emperor" who acted outside of his "legal authority" for the executive orders he issued from the Oval Office. Now, they are cheering President Donald Trump as he issues a raft of his own."

Interesting that If you turn your phone sideways it shows you how his economy is working.

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Im fairly convinced that a group of people, Vaughn, Navarro, Miller are actually making all decisions, giving him all these EO to sign and make him feel in control, while they lie to him about most things

thecommoncoalition.bsky.social•2 days ago

AND if we could stop saying Trump “won”—that would be great.
The @electiontruth.bsky.social and @thiswillhold.bsky.social have been circulating this manipulated election data for MONTHS.

The midterms are toast if Dems don’t wake up—this is a vote flipping algorithm in the swing states and TX.

anniebkay.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tech broligarchs, Putin & the Heritage foundation. Trump got in by agree to give access to these groups. He doesn’t give a rip about anything but staying out of jail, raking in cash, golf and being cheered.

cocothecat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Stephen Miller has lied to him for years about migrants and crime.

flisty.bsky.social•2 days ago

Useful to be able to hide behind someone who is a) above the law and b) really doesn't care what's going on. Gives you all kinds of cover.

invisiblelad7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Which is why I go back and forth about how much information Trump has on any number of things his administration is breaking at one time. He very likely isn't told some of the bad news but he's definitely given control to a bunch of unscrupulous proxies.

petesubkoviak.bsky.social•2 days ago

I feel like we’re going to need 3-4 more supreme courts to deal with this shit.

swgeneralmills.bsky.social•3 days ago

GIANT mandate!

Another lie.

aquastell.bsky.social•3 days ago

When you have the right-wingers of P2025 running your regime there is no shortage of illegal EO's.

So what's next?

Curious to know how many have been blocked by the courts.

sunandstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump won the election by 110,000 votes in the Electoral College and has no "Mandate" other than what polling showed 65% of Americans wanted the border fixed (as I warned Biden to do long before he bothered to; Harris lost because of that) and lower prices, which Trump is inflating w/ tariffs.

1/

sunandstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

The 110,000 votes that would have elected Harris via the E College were Michigan, Wisonsin, and Pennsylvania.

The margins in those three states between Harris and Trump were TOGETHER a total of 110.000 votes!

NO MANDATE!

2/

sunandstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump's endangering democracy, but you can see the creep with Biden too; however, how much of each was writing EOs to NEGATE the prior EOs. IOW was Biden's # due to negating Trump's in large part?

Maybe put your intern on that! ;)

morgalyn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Iirc a lot of the early Biden EOs were dealing with Covid/Covid impacted economy.

ronduplantis.bsky.social•3 days ago

Executive orders
Signing statements

Both should be legislated out of existence by Congress. No sitting president should be allowed to do ANYTHING but manage agencies & departments Congress creates and funds. And no prez should be able to sign a bill but then say he won’t enforce it.

Let’s fix it!

trueoak.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also need to review the pardon process.

ronduplantis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely!

aquastell.bsky.social•3 days ago

EO's are nothing more than a statement of policy. Not laws in any form.

ronduplantis.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, but recent presidents (the last few decades especially) have converted EOs into “executive legislation” where they follow it as law rather than real congressional legislation.

aquastell.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only one has repeatedly used them to proclaim bullshit laws. And he has been getting shot down on many of them via the courts. Can't compare ANY POTUS in the last 75 years to the Convicted Felon in the Oval Office when it comes to illegal EO's.

ronduplantis.bsky.social•2 days ago

That last sentence is absolutely true.
