Donald Trump now rules by Executive Order.

Because that's called false equivalence.

There is talk but usually trump supporters were outrage over Obamas executive governing

Me IS KINgS

Well, if you'd get your head out of your ass and clean off the shit you might learn something. There's ruling by executive order = obozo. And there's reversing same executive orders = Trump. It's not difficult to comprehend.

@Booyeah: I'd like someone to explain the difference to me. Presidents do have the authority to issue executive orders and presidents of both parties have done so. Obama was no different, yet he's the only one that I know of who was savaged for it.

@Rutterman: maybe because Obama is black :x

@Rutterman: Because Obama's executive orders often clashed with Congressional authority.

@Shattered: Charming as ever, I see.

That's a distinction without a difference in terms of whether a president has the right to do it. They all have that right. I've never criticized any president, Republican or Democrat, for doing it.

@Booyeah: Seemed like the objection had more to do with opposition to the content of those orders (and the person issuing them) than any encroachment on congressional authority.

@Rutterman: believers never complain about executive orders signed by their side. What's new about that?

@Rutterman: that's a god record of no criticism. Keep it going 😀

@Jackjjacksonjr: Thank you...I think. 😄

@Rutterman: I did not pay attention to whom I was responding. Had I realized it was you I probably would have been nicer. But that's beside the point. You asserted that trump supporters wailed about obama's EO's and are being silent about trumo's, implying they are being hypocritical. And you could not be more wrong. Here's why.

Obama arrogantly refused to work with congress to pass law and he bragged that he could use his pen and phone (and get away with it). He even famously said I just made law. That is worthy of criticism.

Trump is REVERSING obama's EO's not governing by EO. I'm absolutely positive that you have nothing to worry about with regards to trump governing by EO. There are lawyers literally salivating at the possibility of filing a lawsuit and the democrats in congress also salivating at the possibility that he will do just what obama did so they can raise hell and try to get him impeached.

And you know this.

@Shattered: Executive orders can rightfully be used to reverse EOs issued by previous presidents, as Trump is doing, but they aren’t limited to that. They can and have been used by previous presidents (including Obama) to get around Congressional resistance to their initiatives. That’s also legitimate and it’s probably the most common reason for issuing them. I don’t know what Obama specifically said about his issuance of these orders, but for the purposes of this discussion, I’ll assume what you said is accurate. Worthy of criticism, perhaps, but his attitude and comments didn’t have any bearing on his right to issue the orders.

I agree that Trump will be closely watched on the EO issue and he will be challenged if there’s any perception he’s crossed the line, such as using them to reverse laws passed by Congress. Assuming Trump doesn’t cross the line, you’ll hear no criticism from me. I may not like what he’s trying to accomplish with the orders, but I won’t deny he has the legal right to issue them.

@Rutterman: well stated sir.

@Jackjjacksonjr: Thanks again.

@Rutterman: people in a civilized society should be able to discuss things and be agreeable even when they disagree.

@Jackjjacksonjr: It is not only died-in-the-wool Democrats who are complaining about Trump's Executive Orders. Many Federal Judges are questioning whether Trump's Executive Orders go against the American Constitution. Are the Judges all Corrupt, Lying, Incompetent, Narcissistic, two faced and Offensive as well in your opinion?

@will999: many? You know federal judges personally? The courts will uphold the EO's don't sweat it. 😏👌

@Jackjjacksonjr: You just don't get it, do you? Under the rule of law in a democracy it makes no difference whether or not you know the judge personally. I'm not sweating it! Overseas many people think your politics is a circus. Trump snot funny really.

@will999: I see you now speak for all "overseas people"? Are you Oz?
