Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order expanding presidential control over independent agencies, including the FTC, FCC, and SEC.
The order enforces the “unitary executive theory,” which argues the president has sole authority over the executive branch. It grants Trump’s budget chief, Russell Vought, oversight of these agencies’ performance and budgets.
The move is expected to face legal challenges, as past presidents have largely respected agency independence.
Trump defended the order, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

That’s a list of random things that happened during his presidency…
I have no idea how that’s relevant.
This would be tho:

He wasn’t fucking capable of being president. Even Chris Clizza admits it now, why can’t you?
Those four years was not the time to let Grandpa go in a Sunday cruise, we needed an actual fighter and moderates aren’t fighters.
Why are we still talking about Biden? How does this serve us? Regardless of how we drove here, we’ve landed in S-Town.
So now we either live with the stink, build ourselves a waste treatment facility, or GTFO.
Because we can’t afford to make the same mistake we made in the last three presidential elections…
People said “why are we still talking about Hillary” after 2016, so we didn’t learn the lesson and repeated it in 2020.
Then Biden barely won and we couldn’t say anything because he was president, so we didn’t learn the lesson.
And ran another uncharismatic candidate who was further right than Dem voters, for a 3rd election in a row and lost.
Id ask why moderate politicianss never want voters to discuss their failings, but that’s obvious.
What I want to know is why voters do what you’re doing right now.
How is understanding past mistakes to prevent repeating them not important to you?
Biden was bye bye 9 months ago, my dude. I’m sorry he hurt you in the feefees.
The president is not a king, there are a lot of congress critters who also got us to this point. And those don’t get elected nationally. It’s systemic. I don’t foresee us making significant systemic changes to the system this cycle… unless they are to our detriment.
For me, now is the time to recruit, to protest, to get active and get people active. If we want to keep our country, we need to be out in the streets saying this ain’t right. The leaders of the movement will bubble up naturally. And yeah, you’re probably right in that they’ll likely be a whole hell of a lot more passionate than a cluster of 80 year old geriatrics.
Factually untrue, and I don’t have much time for people who talk like trump supporters
The one thing that would have stopped all this and put things on a different path is immediately lock up Trump and co-conspirators under solid treason charges, it was easy to prove as well.
But the wishy washy and slow way the investigation and justice machine rolled is what gave Trump all the chances.
He got to puff up his ego for years on being unjustly attacked, and (re)grow the cult around him.
He got his supreme court to give him king-like powers (and now he claims the rest of the kingly might and immunity).
He got Elon Musk to spy on everyone, steal all private data including home adresses to sick cultists to… and Elon now has the means to destroy the financial transaction of anyone against the regime…
The blame for it all was not directly on Biden, the democrats nor on the elections themselves, this was on a system that was apathetic and waiting out time for the one thing to happen.
And again the system is waiting out time to see what happens at the next elections, but that will turn out to be a mirage, Trump and co will not relinquish power anymore.
All of it was stopped if Trump was locked up. He should never have been a 2nd candidate, not just not eligible but locked up for decades.
The democrats would indeed need to find more charismatic leadership with fighting spirit, but the MAGA camp had been given a crippling blow.
Now the world watches as the USA destroys itself permanently, has its influence drift away on the winds, and loses everything to its ages old communist enemy Russia.
Hitler went to jail. He used that time to write a book outlining his plan.
I don’t think even Trump thought he was going to win this time. Nearly half the voting population didn’t want him to. A huge swath of people sat out this election, we’re here because of them. Yea, some of that is on Biden, some rests on Harris, some rests on the DNC, but the people who saw the choice and decided to sit it out also deserve a lot of the blame.
But that doesn’t matter now. The damned thing happened. We got here. Life doesn’t always happen the way we want. It’s now up to all of us who care about our future, the future for our kids and the future of our country to step up. This is our historical moment.
This is the one that history books will write about. We need to stand up and rise up to the moment. We have to fight the tyranny. That means some of us will be imprisoned. That means some of us will die. And that sucks, like really really sucks. I’ve been on this planet for 40+ years now. If I don’t take a stand now, for the country I love, for the people I love, then why the hell am I even here? I want to live life in the way I want to live it, not how someone else dictates it.
And I challenge you to do the same, for your life depends on it. It’s time to rise. It’s time to act. It’s time to fight.
