Trump will need to do 10,000 EO's to undo the damage done by one BO

That looks like a photoshopped sign....

The ACA was legally passed by congress, signed into law and upheld by the supreme court. You were saying? And if you bothered to check out GW's EO's, you would find he applied his touch to lots of legally passed legislation, some by his own party. Rocket's OP stands. Your comment does not.

Just STOP right there. Bull **** it was not !

It slithered through the same way Hillary evaded conviction for her crimes along with most of the Dems under Oblowmo

It never was a TAX....that was snakeoil

I admit to being a bit perturbed, as I'd rather he eliminated prior Executive Orders as opposed to adding to them.

Still...I'm willing to hold off a bit until I see the what's and wherefore's of each order, and how they all work (or don't work) within the overall game plan.

Meanwhile, I am waiting to see what happens with the SCOTUS appointment(s).

Yes, it's terrible that anyone would use an unflattering picture of the Messiah.

If THAT's your issue...

Perhaps, but it's not like you didn't see conservatives expressing that exact sentiment for 8 years.

And the left had the exact opposite reaction. Now they can't stop talking about Trump becoming a dictator. Same crap - different president.

Still, where's the "we must respect the Constitution?" Now we even have worshippers seriously saying we should amend the Constitution to remove the two term limit for him.
 
I would expect Trump to have a lot of EO's in his first hundred days. Part of his platform was to undo the EO's Obama did. The only people this is surprising to would be those who willing gave Obama so much power not realising one day someone they didn't like would have the same power. Short sightedness is a bitch

Yet. But I'm sure you'll be very offended when he does. Or not.

I hate to break it to you, but i think he should slow it down on the EOs.

Yes, there is a lot he can legally do with them, but he's starting to get too comfortable using it as an option. Slow down and give the pen a rest.

Obama issued 276 EOs. Would you please link to the 139+ EO's that illegally bypassed congress.

They would have to find out what the EO's are first and few of them have even bothered to look up what they are, all they see is Obama EO = Evil, they pretty much admit to it when pressed. Hey, they are in charge now, what can go wrong................
 
The temperature at my house this morning was 52 degrees. By noon it was 71 degrees.

I anticipate it will be over 100 degrees by midnight, because I am bad at math and patterns and everything.
 
First, for ****s sake man, you can't find a propaganda picture that doesn't use a clearly photoshopped sign in it's message. Man, Occupy Democrats must be slipping. Good job living in your little echo chamber though rocket, you're doing a great job as a little propagandist.

Second, the VOLUME of Executive Orders was not what most people were complaining about, or at best it was simply a component of what they were complaining about. The complaint was in the way in which the executive actions were being taken, specifically in opposition to the will of congress and in disregard for the actual law. I'd suggest instead of spending all your time on propaganda mills posting up ****ty picture memes and acting like they are actually intelligent and reasonable arguments, you spend some time doing actual research into worth while political science sources. For example, I'd suggest you take a closer look at Youngstown Co. v. Sawyer which impacts directly many peoples issues with President Obama's executive actions and why they found them to be worth, AT LEAST, of heightened scrutiny and a closer look.

Third, the one executive action on the part of the Trump administration that I have some issue with is, is the one with regards to the ACA and directing his agencies to disregard enforcement of the mandate. This, similar to Obama's actions directing immigration officers to disregard some illegal aliens, is basically the Executive actively ignoring some of the law. However, given recent action passed by the congress, this action is STILL less questionable and deserves less scrutiny than some of Obama's, because while it may be an unfaithful execution of the law imho, it at least is not counter to the expressed will of congress. Still, it is the one EA he's done that I'm significantly not a fan of using an EA to do.

Fourth, the ****astic democratic propaganda mill you pulled that from apparently doesn't understand historical context when making a point. Presidents often will make a decently large number of executive action early on, in keeping with various campaign promises. They tend to never maintain that level. It's not like Obama maintained his pace of 9 a day throughout his first 100 days, simply because he put out 9 on day one. To act like Trump is going to be putting out as many EA's over his entire 100 days as he's done in the first few, is ridiculously stupid and a horrible standard to use to compare against Obama's entire Presidency, unless....well, you're a pathetic laughable propaganda mill.
