he was not Trump.
That's the explanation.
Can you imagine being that unpopular?

I have no problem with executive orders that delete previous executive orders. That very well may be correcting something that was done incorrectly previously in my view. IE neutralizes and EO.

I'm not a fan when they implement something in leu of legislation. I know it might be a necessary evil sometimes but shouldn't be the norm or high volume. To me that's not the executives purpose or function.

So, which ones do you have a problem with? I think at least a dozen were Covid related. Is it the number you have problem with or is it what they actually do? I wanna join the BDS outrage team but, I need more to go on.

I've read the list already. Thanks.

Consensus? I'm sorry but when has any President needed a consensus to write an executive order? Executive orders are how the President controls the policies the Executive Branch is responsible for. A power granted by the Constitution. When Trump was writing executive orders were you wringing your hands and saying "He shouldn't do that! He should get a consensus first!"? I doubt it. Trump didn't care one bit if he had a consensus before putting his signature on an executive order. Suddenly you've got a flea up your bottom because it's Biden and not Trump?

If you want a consensus look to the Congress. That's what they are there for. I think you've confused Biden's calls for unity as a capitulation that he won't do anything unless Republicans agree with it too. Rand Paul interpreted Biden's inauguration speech as calling him and other Republicans "...Calling us white supremacists, Calling us racists. Calling us every name in the book. Calling us people who don't tell the truth..." He was offended that Biden called for unity? Biden should check with Rand Paul and every other Republican before he does his job as President? Me thinks thou and the Senator dost protest to much.

Maybe you could point out where Trump said he would govern with consensus. I cannot recall such statement but I do know what Biden said and what he is doing in his first week.

Funny you would use the word, "capitulation", that is what democrats really want when they ask for consensus.
