Oh, that'll be different.

For reasons.

-- A2SG, and we'll be back to the "banana republic" rants, which have become strangely silent from the right of late....
The manner in which MAGA supporters want President Trump to use executive orders to overturn long-established practices suggests that they believe there will not be another election.

If they believe there will be another election, then they might not understand the implications of a future democratic president using the same number of executive orders as President Trump has.

This is not about freedom of speech, it is about forcing taxpayers to pay for the Democratic Party. The networks have freedom of speech and if you want them then contribute from your own pocket.
Tax payers are not paying for the Democratic Party. Hyperbole does not prove your point at all.

News organization aren't required to have their nose up trumps butt to be a quality organization you know.




It's so sad how the right refuses to pay for anything that doesn't directly benefit them. They don't understand what it means to be part of a community unless, again, it's only one that they completely identify with.

Maybe it would be easier foe the next president's executive order to just be, like "I decree that thr last 4 years of EOs are gonzo"

That will save a lot of time.

Trump appears to love playing pretend dictator. He's swooned enough over putin erdogan, etc... over the years it's no surprise he's leading by the most dictatorial fashion thr constitution allows....and then a LOT more.

They have continued pushing false narratives, especially about the Trump Administration. Just this week, NPR, citing two anonymous sources, reported that two DOGE workers gained accounts on classified networks, used by the National Security Administration and the Department of Energy, and accessed nuclear secrets.
“This reporting is false. No DOGE personnel have accessed these NNSA systems. The two DOGE individuals in question worked within the agency for several days and departed DOE in February,” a Department of Energy spokesperson told NPR.

There is no reason for the U.S. taxpayer to fund such biased "news" networks.
just another diversion which will be thrown out in court

However, it matters not. The Congress will likely do the de-funding in the reconciliation bill.

the number of Trump executive orders is not large relative to some past presidents. Check out FDR!
That's right. And he only had a global war and a depression to deal with, nothing like the threats our country faces today.

How about just comparing to the last 30 or 30 years. Something SOMEWHAT resembling our own context.

The judge and the Democrats wanted anything but a fair trial. The persecution of Trump by the Democrats won him the election.
The *propaganda* about his "persecution" certainly helped convince his voters to stick with him (or come back to him).

They already do this. Here is one from Trump doing just that:

Federal Register :: Request Access

Biden's first couple days revoked a similar number of Trump's EOs

There will be a lot to fix.

I find it interesting that supporters of President Trump favor EO. Hence, when the next Democratic administration comes to power, Trump's supporters should have no issue accepting numerous executive orders by new Presidnet.
I don't think we are supporting EOs on their face. Eos work well for policy changes in the executive. You can't run tye executive on laws created by congress that deal with policies. And as with any organization policies can be changed with new CEOs.

There are things that should be established by laws that we hope will happen as a result of Trump's EO that gets the ball rolling. But that won't work for everything.

Some one who isn't a federal judge should let Trump know that.

Do you agree with all 145 executive orders signed by President Trump and believe they do not require congressional approval?

If so, you wouldn't mind if the next Democratic president reverses all 145 executive orders signed by President Trump, right?

I don't know if I agree with all them or not. I haven't read them all.

Which ones need congressional approval?

I expect the next Democrat president will rescind many if not all of Trump's orders. Just line Biden rescinded Trumps. Thats the way it works.

I just hope the Republicans pass some actual legislation that supports the EOs that should be made into laws. That way the Democrat can't revoke them all.

NPR, citing two anonymous sources, reported that two DOGE workers gained accounts on classified networks, used by the National Security Administration and the Department of Energy, and accessed nuclear secrets.
Your description misconstrues the NPR report. First as to it's veracity, "In a statement sent to NPR, the Department of Energy initially denied the entire story. But in a second statement sent hours later, they acknowledged that the two DOGE employees did, in fact, have accounts on these networks." the NPR report also stated that "So there's no evidence that the two DOGE employees had access to restricted data on nuclear weapons." So, when you say that NPR, reported that two DOGE workers gained accounts on classified networks, used by the National Security Administration and the Department of Energy, and accessed nuclear secrets, that's half true and half untrue. The report did say they had gained accounts on the classified networks, a fact that the DOJ finally confirmed. And the second part, the fact that the report says that they accessed nuclear secrets, is untrue. As I noted the report said exactly the opposite, that , "there's no evidence that the two DOGE employees had access to restricted data on nuclear weapons.". We must be diligent to read articles before reporting on what they say. I don't know where you got your facts but I quoted the article itself and this is what it said. As it turns out what they reported was truthful and based on that you conclude that the network is biased? It seems that the administration is targeting anyone who questions their actions or rhetoric as biased but in this case they were reporting truthfully.

I've heard that for a long time, they get only a small percentage of their budget, so what's the big deal in cutting federal funding?
While NPR gets a pretty small percentage of its budget directly from the CPB, local radio stations frequently get a large chunk of their revenue from the CPB - up to 50% in some rural areas - and some of those funds are used to license programming from NPR.

Not at all. Neither did it suggest that Democrats believed there would not be another election when Joe issued all of those executive orders.
The concern, with all of the corruption during the Biden administration, the various hoaxes perpetrated to defeat Trump,the authoritarian orders, the two-tiered justice system, flooding the country with illegals which would at least effect Congressional seats because of the census, and the pushing for weak election oversight, was that our country was close to become a one party country, Soviet Union style.

The scariest part was when Sleepy Joe said "You won't have to vote anymore my beautiful Christians, I love you Christians, I'm a Christian."
