Is anybody keeping track of the executive order party?
 
I wonder how many Trump has signed in the last week?

Is anyone even paying attention?

He and the GOP have been hard at it since inauguration day.

I thought the rightwing media said this was un-Constitutional?

Rajoo 01-23-2017 09:39 AM

I am or have been. Here is the first he signed withing minutes of taking the oath of office.

Wonder if his supporters even have a clue.

He has also reduced states burden on Obamacare, guess the intent is to allow insurance companies bail from individual states.

BlueStreak 01-23-2017 10:10 AM

No, they don't.

They're not paying attention at all. I see it every day, the telescreen overhead in the lunch room steadily streaming out the latest news as they play with their phones, watching fainting goat and country music videos.

All is well now that Emperor God Trump is "fixing everything".

I love my country, Rajoo. But, my people do make me profoundly sad at times.

donquixote99 01-23-2017 10:18 AM

Kind of says it all. FIRST executive order is a SYMBOLIC rollback of a benefit. They had no time to study this--but skinflint House Repubs were against it because it was an Obama administration thing done to help people. So they threw this bone to said Repubs, first thing.

Populist. Right.

Rajoo 01-23-2017 10:32 AM

If anyone takes the time to read this, it looks like Trump thinks like a teenager where his image needs to be substantiated by lies.

White House Pushes ‘Alternative Facts.’ Here Are the Real Ones.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/u...T.nav=top-news

Maybe someone should start a separate thread on Trump and his Alternate Facts and keep it going so that when whell or Zero chime in with their lefty crap, all one has to do is to link the thread and not bother to respond intelligently.

ZeroJunk 01-23-2017 11:02 AM

LOL, it is so irrelevant what you boys think. I Love it.

Rajoo 01-23-2017 11:52 AM

At least some of us here can actually think. I actually feel sorry for the likes of you that can be so easily scammed by a con artist who seems to have serious self esteem issues.

Trump is moving fast: He has signed the death knell of the TPP and reinstated the "Mexico City Policy" on abortion.

Old white men now control the vaginas of every woman in the world! BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Not control--Just not contributing to the abortion mentality.

Here is an updated list.
Quote:

Here’s a list of the Trump administration’s actions in its first 72 hours:

Taken over running of the entire federal government.
Issued an executive order aimed at rolling back former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
Halted a reduction to the annual mortgage insurance premiums borrowers pay when taking out government-backed home loans.
Ordered agencies to freeze new regulations, giving the new administration time to review them.
Received a key legal OK from the Justice Department for Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner to take on a role in the White House.
Met with the CIA, where he addressed employees. Trump also took over the nuclear codes Trump’s nominee for CIA director, Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo
Pompeo, contradicted his earlier testimony and said he was open to revisiting limits on interrogation techniques including waterboarding if his intelligence officers think it is needed.
Raised the specter of another conflict in Iraq, with Trump expressing regret for not taking over the country’s oil and telling the CIA, “We should have kept the oil. Maybe we’ll have another chance.”
Spoke to the Mexican president and said the two will meet at the end of January.
Spoke to the Canadian prime minister about the two nations’ economic relationship.
Announced he has meetings with leaders in Mexico and Canada to begin re-negotiating NAFTA.
Announced his first foreign leader meeting will be Friday with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May.
Signaled a shift in the Justice Department’s civil rights efforts when it requested a delay in the lawsuit over a Texas law requiring voters to present certain types of government-issued IDs.
Prepared to issue more executive orders this week. Told the National Park Service not to tweet after it retweeted side-by-side images showing the crowd at former President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration and Trump’s inauguration.
Began discussions about moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Confronted his first national disaster as President, deadly tornadoes in Georgia.
Issued executive orders to withdraw from the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal negotiations, as well as executive order on abortion and lobbyists who want to work in the White House.

Willful ignorance. If you avoid knowing, it's makes it easier to keep liking Trump, I can see that....

Two EO's to be signed today.

One ordering the wall to be built
Second authorizing the Keystone pipeline.
Also the Trump administration has muzzled Federal Departments from Tweeting. Trump will not put up with anyone upstaging him.

Here is an interesting on the impact on illegal immigration from the wall. Even with this EO, congress needs to fund the construction and wonder how that will go.

Trump's border wall attacks the wrong immigration crisis

http://www.politico.com/agenda/story...-crisis-000286

Then there is another element to this, Mexico will never ever pay for the wall so Trump wants Congress to fund it first and then seek reimbursement from Mexico.
Quote:

“On the fence—it’s not a fence,” he said. “It’s a wall. You just misreported it. We’re going to build a wall.”

Trump argues that it’s just faster and more efficient for the United States to pay the costs of the wall. “I could wait about a year-and-a-half until we finish our negotiations with Mexico, which will start immediately after we get to office,” he said. “But I don’t want to wait… We’re going to start building.”

Then Trump repeated his vow to stick Mexico with the tab.

“Mexico in some form, and there are many different forms, will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall,” he said. “That will happen, whether it’s a tax or whether it’s a payment—probably less likely that it’s a payment. But it will happen.”

Fun and games ahead with Trump Wall and the pipeline.

Willfull ignorance is the american way. It's how we lost control of our democracy, it's why megacorp now controls every aspect of our country.

If Russia were to invade 90% of america would hide it's head in the sand and pretend it wasn't happening.

I don't like the idea of the wall, but we all knew that was coming. As for the Keystone Pipeline, I don't like it either, but that battle was lost when Bernie didn't get the nomination. Hillary/Kaine would have put that through in a heart beat too.

As for tweeting for Federal Employees, maybe things have changed, but when I was a State Employee we were not allowed to use to internet for personal stuff while we were at work. I don't see how he can prevent them from tweeting or whatever when they are off the clock.

Besides that, most people consider government employees to be overpaid goldbrickers anyway. So this one won't generate a whole lot of outrage in flyover country. And there is a certain amount of truth in that. Why do you think I put in 35 years with the Government?:D

I had no desire to work in the private sector. One summer during college getting my ass busted for the Dworetsky brothers' "you no wanna work go home" construction company in Fairlawn New Jersey cured me of that notion.:)

Do you really believe that the GOP Congress is actually going to fund building of a wall, not a fence as Trump has said, but a wall? And then renegotiate NAFTA with Mexico later (agreement with Canada stays as is from what I read)?

Of course Trump is going to have trouble with the Republicans in congress.

He's a moderate.

And the Republican establishment fought him all the way.

Hell, a lot of them endorsed Hillary, or came damn close to it.

Probably because Canada buys so much fro us and is in effect our biggest trading partner. Also our auto makers did not send jobs to Canada they simply bought out Canadian auto makers - Buick bought McLaughlin, Pontiac bought Oakland, etc. They even bought the Iron Ore company in Quebec, USA got the ore and Canada got the shaft.

As for keystone XL it is being shipped by rail at the moment - a pipeline will be safer, as the folks in Lac Megantic, Quebec.

What is the purpose of the EO to build a wall then? This is to convince his choir that he won the popular vote if not for the 3 million illegals that also voted. He has even ordered his henchmen to look into voting irregularities to build on this myth, which is actually a blatant lie.

A con artist at work is what I see.

Maybe the purpose is to try to follow through on a promise that was one of the cornerstones of his campaign. Did you think of that?

Yes and only his low information voters could have believed him. It was impossible then, even more so now.
