Is Joe Biden a Dictator?

No, he's not a dictator. Dictators have absolute power. An EO is far from absolute power. It's not even a proper law, and can be changed with the next administration, as you can see. No, not only do we not have a dictator, but we have a bad habit of allowing the Executive Branch to put band aids on things Congress probably needs to address, IMO.

Executive Orders are subject to judicial review and can be overturned by Congress at any time. They hardly sound "dictatorial."

This is untrue, Biden has done no such thing. Abortions are still not payed for by taxpayers under US law. What has changed is that non-abortion services at Planned Parenthood can be reimbursed through Medicare and Medicaid.

Yeah but who cares about the facts, right? It just sounds good to Christian Trump supporters to call the old man Biden a "baby killer". It makes them feel better about their blatant hypocrisy when it comes to moral indignation the last five years or so.

The best way to prevent abortion is comprehensive sex education and easy access to contraceptives.

As a Christian, best way to stop abortion is by witnessing to others, sharing Gospel with unbeliever, personal evangelism, and going on your knee and pray for others , pray for lost soul , pray for mission filed, and pray for the nation. Many Christians in USA, they don’t want to do none of that because those are the things which are Biblical, those are the things Biblical teaching. But they want to elect politician and ban abortion! They put more faith in politician to do “biblical thing” then Christ.

Do we know how many time Biden went golfing or Church?

The calculation for Biden's current taxpayer bill for golfing is... minus the factor... carry the one....

$0.

Biden has reversed the abortion laws, now providing money for abortions. Not good, not biblical. He might come across as a nice man (outwardly) but, how many sons and daughters of God is he killing?

Does the life of the mother count for anything?

Yeah, I agree with you. The sad truth is, Christian Trump supporters have lost the moral ground to judge President Biden for anything he says or does. There's no reason to listen to them anymore.

Which makes it all the more ironic when conservatives oppose this.

The best way has already been mentioned: comprehensive sex ed and access to contraceptives.

By his own words, is he looking to become a dictator?

No, as long as you correctly understand what "his own words" were saying.

"We are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even, occasionally say, 'Well, if you can't get the votes [to pass a law], by executive order you're going to do something.' Things you can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator. We're a democracy. We need consensus."

These Biden critics are taking his "dictator" remark out of context. Biden explicitly campaigned on signing various executive orders, including those to rescind some of then-President Donald Trump's own executive orders, and he didn't say in October that signing a large number of orders means a president is a dictator. Rather, after Biden rejected the idea of using an executive order to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy people, he said there are "things you can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator." In other words, Biden was saying what he had said before and has said since -- that executive orders are unconstitutional for some particular purposes.

To me they long lost the right to judge anyone at all for moral failures, except maybe Hitler or something.

Of course it is. See this is a Christian site, and the bible says God has his hands on the laws, and many here believe what that bible states. So like it, or agree with it, or not, once again, of course it is a rationale.

Of course not. Life only counts when it's between conception and birth.

I find it a bit amusing that they would even think anyone would care what they might be "morally outraged" about considering who they supported and still continue to support through their Christian Nationalist faith and ideology.

Using that logic, your god had his hands on the laws that allowed slavery, the internment of Japanese Americans, and the numerous injustices done to Native Americans. Your god sounds like a monster to me using that logic.

Here is the problem I have with you.You said " you guys". ?? Who is you guys? I am not a Republican or a Democrat so who are you referring to? How am I a hypocrite? I didnt vote for Trump, but I am concerned that Trump only had 12 executive orders. Therefore if Biden was just undoing what Trump did there would be 12 executive orders! Biden himself said 12 was " executive overreach that only a DICTATOR would do. Then he gets in and does 28?! Who is the hypocrite? Don't be so proud in your stance that you can't see cause for concern. Lets face it. Biden was NOT the best man for the job but he was the only other option to keep Trump from winning right? Maybe if we got some decent choices to choose from it wouldn't be like this. The solution? When voting they give us 2 from each party so we can choose the best man with the countries best interest. I am an American. I love the Constitution. Therefore I do not care what party they are with- if they are the best man for the Presidency they have my vote. This Republican Democrat thing is about old anyways. United we stand Divided we fall and Americans allowed the DIVISION? Does that make sense?

And trump went on to sign over 200 more executive orders. But we aren't going to talk about that are we?

No we can. I am not a Republican. Why are Democrats so nasty and defensive?

Where are you getting that number from? The former president issued 220 executive orders.

Ummm. Yeah it is. Why are we a secular nation? Our money doesn't say that and last time I testified in court, I didn't put my hand on the Qur'an.
