Executive Orders

[callmeslick]

at current pace, Trump will have issued more exec orders by mid-March than Obama did in 8 years. Can't wait to hear NS and Woody going on about executive overreach, and dictatorship. This should be priceless. The floor is yours.

Hmmm...

Multiple executive orders...the nuclear option...?

Interesting. Guess who made those bigger ideas for Trump? Obama.

You reap what you sow.

bull★■◆●. Obama left office NOWHERE near the top of the list in executive orders, pardons or signing statements. Try selling that crap to folks without critical thinking skills.

Looks like FDR is the one to beat.

[callmeslick]

yup, 4 terms will give you a leg up.

I was looking at the annual average.

Not true BTW. Currently Trump is on the way for 143 this year (w/ 2 issued so far. EO's =/= Memoranda) , Obama did 275 during his time.

think you need to recount. I thought we hit 6 as of today.

If you’re going to keep track of the EO’s that should insult the sensibilities of conservatives, you’re going to have to subtract all of the ones that counteract previous EO’s that Obama put in place.

[callmeslick]

current count, which I looked up while waiting to pick up grandkids from school: 12 as of 4 pm, either memoranda of intent or exec orders. Equal now to the year one total of Obama.

does truth ALWAYS insult the sensibilities of conservatives?

[Top Gun]

Well reality does have a clear liberal bias, right?

Current count is 4 (was 2 when I posted earlier): https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo ... ive-orders

Talk about missing a point...sheesh.

they are roughly 24 hours behind. These folks aren't striking me as the swiftest, technology-wise. They could have avoided the goofy negative press and public hysteria about 'taking down web pages' had they had the whole new template ready to roll on day one. Instead, they put on freezes and seemingly randomly timed page takedowns. No political action, just a transition to a new message, to which I for one wouldn't begrudge them.

Lots of room to talk after that fiasco with the ACA site.

is the forseeable future going to STILL be a gaze back, lovingly and wistfully on your Obama hate-on, or will you rejoin us in the present at some point?

[callmeslick]

oh, and this reaction to Obama orders is going too far, IMHO:

this may be fake news, I didn't really check it too closely on this one...

You must hold the world record of stupid loaded questions.

[callmeslick]

wonder if there is a world record for plausible denial? Or even an acceptable limit?

Well, for example, Belgium and the United Nations has long formed under the United States as the station whores.
Despite the fact that my grandmother lives in Belgium. Her daughter is quite a big problem with Albanians. They seems a bit decided today as that solved the problems. Otherwise, I would have sent somebody with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and the issue was resolved without further ado.

[callmeslick]

what did that have to do with the topic, Sigma? Just needed to get that tidbit off your chest?

Slick was closer. 12 so far, if even PBS can be believed.

Sigma, if you don't understand the topic, please don't post trash nonsense.

PBS is counting Presidential Actions ie. Orders and Memoranda. Blast from the past: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fac ... memoranda/

[callmeslick]

Grendel, you may have overlooked, but that is consistently what I have been laying out as the criteria, above.

Oh yeah, I just noticed the difference. Thanks Grendel.
