Trump's legacy undone in 24 hours

[ThatOwlWoman]

Since Trumpf did not have any substantial legislative accomplishments which would require a rigorous legal or congressional remedy (other than his tax cuts for the rich), Biden just used executive orders to roll back almost all of Trump's legacy in the last 24 hours.

Outstanding.

IIRC, included in the give-away to the wealthy was a miniscule tax cut for the middle class... that is due to expire soon, right?

Over 300 judged appointed. Rethink your idiotic OP

And how delicious it was indeed, watching several of them deny the Cult's claims of a stolen election. Too bad for you that they didn't perform as expected. It's so hard to buy loyalty these days.

May I? From your link:

"Unpopular: The border wall is unpopular among most Americans, with approximately 60% of the public opposed. During Trump’s presidency, the wall has grown more unpopular (see this related Cato Institute assessment), including among residents of the four southern border states. A December 2019 Washington Post story that interviewed military veterans, longtime Texans, and Trump 2016 voters who were set to lose their property highlights one of the most unpopular aspects of the wall building – seizing land from private property owners."

That's how I feel. The loser slunk away in disgrace. He had his social media accounts banned. His neighbors can't stand him badly enough that they are suing to kick him off of his own property. His presidency was undone in 24 hours. He was impeached twice and is widely regarded across the entire world as the worst American president in history. Trump was a blip (and a blimp) and is now irrelevant.

He may be, but he still has a large cohort of drooling minions that he will no doubt try to keep whipped up. After what happened on Jan. 6th, we should not let our guard down.

Holy smoke, I forgot Trump's tax cuts for the rich scheme had an expiration date.

Hello Cypress,



Music to my ears:

"All day Wednesday, there was a sense of lightness in the air as political opponents went out of their way to be courteous to one another, perhaps out of respect for Biden's call for an end to the "uncivil war" of modern politics." (from the OP link)

Dr. Fauci is quite relieved, as well!

"Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, on Thursday expressed relief that he's no longer answering to President Donald Trump, who he said made statements about the pandemic that "were not based on scientific fact."

"Fauci made several remarks about the difference between working under Trump and newly sworn-in President Joe Biden during a White House press briefing, calling it "somewhat of a liberating feeling" to work for the new administration. "

All of that is true, but I also don't think Trump created much new hate and division that wasn't always there anyway. All of these racists and terrible people were always racist and terrible. It's just that they were forced to stay in their closets for a few decades. That's why they waged war against "PC culture". They thought it was unfair and felt victimized that they weren't allowed to be racist and terrible in public. All Trump really did was come along and say, "You poor, white, undereducated, racist bigots have been victims for so long. Go ahead and act like complete assholes in public as if this was the 1950s." And so they did. The people who support(ed) Trump cannot be rehabilitated. They're lost causes. The best we can do is to push them back into their closets so that they once again feel ashamed to express their darkest thoughts in public.

Ra-men, Brother Diesel, ra-men.

The instant an acquaintance begins to whine about the PC culture, I do what I can to distance myself from them. It's the same as hanging a sign around your neck that says "I am a racist/homophobic/hater/misogynist bigot." The same is true of all those snowflakes whining about social media disallowing hate speech and promotion of violence on their platforms.

I underestimated their confirmation soooo much that the senate wasted weeks lying trying to block the confirmation of three appointees to the SC.

Democrats are genetically pre-disposed to opposing Republican judges.

Republican judges frequently have a reactionary take on labor laws, which is unfortunate.

But you and Trump labored under the illusion that Trump appointed judges would become a loyal, hyperpartisan arm of the GOP, and even possibly rescue Trump by overturning an election he decisively lost.

The fact that many Trump-appointed judges laughed you and TrumpCo. out of court simply illustrates how badly you overestimated your ability to weaponize the judiciary to serve GOP interests.

You are confiusing me with someone who does not care about written law. Trump had no case so the judges ruled correctly. I hope you have your same sentiment when other rulings come out of the SC.

Only for us though, not for them.

"The 2017 tax law cuts the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent and shifts toward a territorial tax system, in which multinational corporations’ foreign profits largely no longer face U.S. tax. These tax cuts overwhelmingly benefit wealthy shareholders and highly paid executives. "

And here I thought the Toadstool was all about "America first" and bringing jobs back from overseas. Instead, he made it far more profitable to off-shore so that your company could escape taxation by becoming "multinational."

Whoooo was it that claimed the election was stolen from Hillary Killton?

It's so wonderful. We are going to believe science again!

I bet we never hear the president call Fauci any names again.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So good.

61, Trump nationally won about 32% of the Latino vote, Biden nationally won about 66%.

66 to 32 is a blowout by any measure of electoral accounting, and Trump's 32% is only an average Republican national performance with Hispanics over the last 30 years.
