Has Trump signed any actual laws yet? I see a lot of EO's, but don't recall seeing any laws.

Not a fan of EO's, but...

I like the 10:1 Deregulation one.

And the new Spank Iran one.

He should do one for single line item spending bills.

And one limiting the size of any bill he will sign to a single sheet of paper (front and back, 8.5x11) so he can actually read the entire thing.

The Laken Riley Act off the top of my head.

Yeah. I'll support Trump where I'll support him but not this. Gaza is a shit hole strip of land with a shit hole strip of people. Absolutely nothing good can come of us taking it over and putting boots on the ground.

I suspect this is just another of Trump's bluffs but it's a doozy. I don't know what he expects to get from this. Some sort of concession from Iran maybe?

The only way this works is if you offer a free shuttle service, one way to Iran for everyone living there.

Then in 3 weeks you fire up operation linebacker III and turn the entire strip into an inland sea.

Wonder how many runways the Isrealis have that can support a B52....

Agree 100%. EO should be severely restricted imo. They skirt our process. I agree with most of what Trump has done but agreed with nothing Biden did off the top of my head.

I have said this many times.

The only way to end the abuses of power that the democrats engage in is to beat them at their own game so badly that they agree to outlaw them.

So, Trump should push the EOs *so* far that the democrats are pushing for major restrictions on the power.

Hell, if he beats them hard enough we might get a constitutional ammendment drastically limiting the power of EOs out of it.

And that would be fantastic.

May not even be necessary.

It has taken decades for the deep state to build the monstrosity that is the federal bureaucracy.

If Trump and Musk can tear enough of it down, rebuilding it will take more than just reversing a few EOs.

You won't be able to just hire back all the people he's firing. They will all have moved on and have new jobs by then.

Just like ending the lock downs wasn't going to reverse the damage Covid hysteria caused to the economy.

I'm not convinced he can eliminate enough of them to effectively kill the deep state. It is run by the CIA, in my opinion, and they are spooks, many are able to remain in the dark.

Yea, it would take a decade at least to root them all out.

But he may be able to set them back 20 years, and that's pretty good.

Agreed, look I'm not knocking the effort, I think it is a great attempt but I have no grand expectations of success. I am of the opinion that they can and will take him out when he gets too close.

With all the revelations from DOGE, the dismissal of all USAID employees and now the buyout offer to all CIA employees I am more nervous than ever for trump's life. He is seriously fucking with the livelihood of a lot of people. I wouldn't put it past the CIA to fund a 50 person "terrorist" hit squad that goes after him and Elon. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they set off a suitcase bomb in new orleans this weekend while trump is at the super bowl.

While I have said it for a long time, I have the same concern that the CIA will take him out when they see fit. It wont be because of a buyout. A buyout doesnt "put people out of work", it is an incentive to get people to take an early retirement and is welcomed by employees in a position to take it.

Agree, to a point. The problem isn't fear of the CIA employees being displaced. The fear is the actual people behind the workings of the CIA, the ones with the real power. For the ease of naming Soros, Gates et al, let's call them billionaires row. They are the players. The CIA operatives have been the actors.

Bottom line, billionaires row, the players, are the ones the dismantling of the CIA will effect most. Therefore they are the ones that will orchestrate all malfeasance against the greatest President of all time.

It's funny to watch the Dems having their meltdowns. It is rich when they say "We aren't going to take it and we will fight Trump and Elan." I still don't think they have made the connection that the majority of the country (based on election results) is with their agenda since he won the electoral college, popular vote and he campaigned on the very things he is doing. This is what the people want and expect. This is what the people are behind. This was Trump's mandate based on we, the people. The Dems are talking to the minority in their echo chamber somehow delusional to this very understanding, thinking there is any reality to their absolute patheticness.

They are so used to making the most noise and getting their way from the last 4 years that they think it will work now
