So no different than Biden and Obama and Bush. Oh well.

At least it is enjoyable to see progressives squirm. And to gut dept of education and usaid, both very solid ideas so far.



I don't think your comment fully considers the recent history of presidential power. Biden argued in court against Trump to not consolidate power at the executive level. He was against Trump's idea of presidential immunity. Then he refused to use the power given to him, and on his way out of office implored the country to reconsider.

He also signed into law bills that were passed explicitly to reduce the president's power because of the way he saw Trump abuse it.

You may agree with these ideas now, but you should go through thr proper channels to get rid of them. Otherwise, things you like will just disappear by fiat the first time a progressive is in office.
