Yes, but marrying her was still my retirement plan...

We needed a POTUS that laid low. No incessant tweeting, no constant chaos, etc. Just slowly let things calm the F down. Biden is doing just what is needed so far. 

Funny that's' what the country cares about.  He can ram through as many executive orders as he wants as long as he doesn't tweet.

Silent?  The right wing media's been on full blast about it since Biden took over.

I've never been one to get all up in arms about EOs. Every president uses them and typically does so to reverse what the last guy did. When I do criticize an EO, it's usually because someone like Trump is specifically directing some portion of the executive branch to not enforce an existing law that is not clearly violating a Constitutional provision.

Trumpism in 2020 was basically pretending the Coronavirus didn’t exist and that racial issues in policing weren’t a problem.

the equivalent to someone putting their fingers in their ears and yelling "Lalala.”

I'm talking about those of you who were enraged at the EOs that Trump enacted

And liberalism was rushing to buy Cuomo's leadership book on Amazon while cheering on the burning of our cities.  Nobody should be proud of their performance in 2020.

I guess it depends on why someone was enraged about EOs.  If they were enraged because they saw them as bad policy, then it's specific to the EO.  If they saw them as Presidential overreach, then it shouldn't matter what the EO says or does.  It's the principal of EOs period.

It's also one of the main reasons why very little ever gets accomplished in this country

Exactly.  They shouldn't exist.  

76% of americans and the majority of repugs favor the dem's covid response plan...yet not 1 repug senator voted for it.  🤡🌎

Well that seems to be the "conservative" view on them.  Which means you should've opposed them when Trump was signing them.

Fwiw I don’t care (that much) about the executive orders.  A lot of them don’t have much teeth anyway.

I've always opposed the process.  But like you said, it stings less when its things you agree with...much like the filibuster.

So you oppose Trump or any President gutting regulations via Executive Order?

They exist because the Executive Branch is massive and sprawling, while the laws it's tasked with administering are broad and intricate. The President is largely an administrator, and like in any business or institution, administrators are given considerable leeway for how to interpret and execute the responsibilities that they are tasked with administering.

What's the point when 4 years later they are all overturned?  Limited use of EOs probably makes sense in emergency situations, but I'd much prefer important things be tried in the court of public opinion and passed into law through congress.
