If it is it won’t be accomplished by politiciansIs draining the swamp still a thing?
Was it ever a thing?Is draining the swamp still a thing?
We are way out on hypotheticals in my opinion of course. BUT if the EO says should, then Biden did nothing different than Trump. You should wear a mask.
However, if the EO says should then its just a recommendation and the EO is nothing more than showmanship really.
If he was in violation of the EO then yes its hypocritical. If not, then, for all the bluster, it isn't.
Warmonger in chief.Less than 24 hours in office and he’s beefing up our military presence in Syria when they are specifically requesting that we get out of their country and wants to add another 1.9 Trillion to the deficit. No way this country lasts four years of this.
Who's starting the Biden lie count? We've got one here with the mask thing. Or is the criteria for what constitutes a lie set differently with Biden than it was for Trump?Funny, I thought I read (or heard) our newly elected president say we all need to do our patriotic duty and wear masks. But the he doesn't, that tells me a lot about bidet's "patriotism" and the "do as I say, not as I do" mentality of the new administration. Brushing the question off as not important just cements my opinion even more!
How can Bidet say a prayer on TV in the White House and children can't say them in school?

You won't be able to keep up! Fracking, Masks, XL Pipeline in the first day! Who knows what else was in that stack of Executive Orders they already had written for him and stacked on his desk. The hits will just keep on coming' until Crazy Kamahla takes over and then its gonna get serious, as if it isn't already!Who's starting the Biden lie count? We've got one here with the mask thing.

And it's incredibly hard to measure success or even define it.Was it ever a thing?
Of all the things Trump set out to do, that is probably the one where he was least able to make progress. It would have required both the Senate and the House to be on board, and they simply weren't.
Children can pray in school. Teachers can pray in school. Students can pray with each other in school. Students can't be led in prayer in school by anyone with authority (teachers, admins, coaches, etc.). But that doesn't stop anyone from praying.How can Bidet say a prayer on TV in the White House and children can't say them in school?
I'm all for it - my criteria hasn't changed.Who's starting the Biden lie count? We've got one here with the mask thing. Or is the criteria for what constitutes a lie set differently with Biden than it was for Trump?
Yep. The problem with executive actions is that they are in effect only so long as the executive wants them to be. Making any kind of actual, long-term difference requires passing legislation. And even when Republicans controlled the legislative process, they couldn't agree on the kind of thing that might keep any of them from the cushy fallback job were they to lose their next election. Neither major party wants any of that, and Trump wasn't able to strongarm them enough to force it through anyway.And it's incredibly hard to measure success or even define it.
I think most thought of it as the "revolving door" - govt employees leaving and immediately becoming lobbyist, then employees, then lobbyist... But, reading some post on INGO, you'd think the swamp is anyone not ultraconservative. It started out as one thing, then grew to be a rallying cry against the federal government in general. And if that's the metric... the number when up. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CES9091000001
Trump had a rule against an employee lobbying (time limit), but on the last day he cancelled, thus I presume allowing his people to immediate go to work lobbying.
Biden has put a similar rule in place for his executive employees.
The way some people here complain about everything he says, you think they were being forced to.Children can pray in school. Teachers can pray in school. Students can pray with each other in school. Students can't be led in prayer in school by anyone with authority (teachers, admins, coaches, etc.). But that doesn't stop anyone from praying.
Nobody is required to be there listening to Biden.
