And every 4 years a new administration will come in (or 8yrs, I suppose) and roll back the previous administration's EOs....causing more deadlock and stall in the machinations of our greedy gubberment...

Yep. Start at Jimmy Carter and look at every president since. It's appalling . And because it happened incrementally, we as citizens of this country are just like the frog in boiling water.

But the Biden move has really turned up the heat. Biden’s divisive numerous executive orders have set a bar. The next time a non dem gets in office, that president could possible have 10 executive orders everyday for the first 100 days

If a dem ever loses the presidency again

That’s all they do now. The division is so strong, Congress does nothing. There is no such thing as bipartisanship so the president is o. Dictator. Didn’t start with Trump by any stretch. At WORST he is similar to Obama and Biden in that regard.

Yeah. I definitely was referencing Obama. Think the massive uptick started with him or W

Making the latest democrat the bogeyman doesn't add to the discussion. You're being shortsighted and willfully obtuse. My point is this has been happening for damn near 50 years. And you want to vilify somebody who's been in office for 3 months. Get your head out of your ass.

I never said the water was warm and cozy. It's boiling and we're cooked. I don't even care enough to participate anymore, we are so far gone.

That's exactly what they expect. Are you just a number? Just a spoke in a great big wheel? A tiny blade of grass in a great big field? C'mon Terps.....jump out. You can do it, dude. I have faith.

Heck 217 by ulysses grant.
It just shows we need to analyze the EO’s individual to see what they do and if they expand power the executive doesn’t really have.

Warm and cozy basically equals thinking we're cooked.

I posted a video a while back about a guy breaking up the union, and he said he didn't think it would happen cause we have a society to comfortable with sweat pants, Netflix and door dash.

He is 100% right, people are too comfortable enjoying the fruits of previous generations labors to fight and ensure future generations have it too.
