I understood but I think that the way Obama used EOs wasn't out of line considering the circumstances of Congress' obstructionism. That is, with some restraint and generally with the immediate needs of the country in mind. All the while perfectly legal. In other words I don't think he abused the power. I think that Trump will use the power with little to no restraint with the good of Trump Enterprises in mind. I will be very surprised if he doesn't grossly abuse this power. Here's a source to all of his EOs if you want to dig deep into those you disagree with. https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/obama.html |

One more time: We have the power, we have the throne! We have the Presidency, The House and Senate, The Supreme Court. We have a mandate from the people. (We also will have 8 years) America has rejected the Democrats. It's our turn now. You will not succeed, you will not obstruct. ![]() Edited by Alt Right PEPE, Jan 5 2017, 07:43 AM.

Of course you expect him to abuse the authority. And of course you don't think Obama overreached his own. That's the nature of partisan prejudice. And I see you've swallowed the Democrats "Obstruction" meme. Harry Reid would be proud.

LOL, and you think nearly every Democrat on the floor isn't thinking the same thing?

Il Duce thought he was unstoppable, as did Escobar in Colombia. Some times the quietest voice can do the most damage to those in power. |

Filibuster This: Democrats Pay A Huge Price For Gutting The Senate's Supermajority Rule http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/filibuster-this-democrats-pay-a-huge-price-for-gutting-the-senates-supermajority-rule/ Rules: You have to laugh at the Democrats' current plight. They have almost no leverage to block anyone Donald Trump decides to select for judgeships or cabinet posts. They can't stop Republicans from repealing most of ObamaCare. And they only have themselves to blame. On CNN this week, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer was lamenting the fact that Democrats wouldn't be able to use the filibuster to stop Trump's nominees. There should, he said, be "60 votes because on such important positions there should be some degree of bipartisanship." Edited by Alt Right PEPE, Jan 5 2017, 12:46 PM.

In a word....."No"....in less then 3 weeks, he will become this nation's 45th President, and I owe him the oppurtunity to screw up or make good on his intents..I do not like him, never made that much of a secret, well, no secret really, but, he's going to be my President, and like it or not, he's here, may he make the most of it with the most effective people in his Administration |
