It doesn’t have to be an executive order, he’s in charge of the military. Any command he gives them is an official act, and can’t be questioned now.
And then he can pardon them as they don’t have the same immunity as he now has. Pardons are also official acts.
I’m sure he could have done more than he did. Ultimately, they didn’t think Trump would win and didn’t fight back hard enough because they were worried about the backlash that might cause on the upcoming election.
Now, Republicans have shown that they won’t allow votes in the last year, but only if the dems have the presidency. It also set the precedent that they can even do that in the first place.
I guarantee you someone who needs replacing further out than a year will now be denied in the future for some other bullshit reason.
Edit: here’s my worst outcome guess. For all future terms where the dems hold the presidency, but not the senate, all future SC nomination votes will be denied since congress and the presidency is conflicted and we can’t have a vote while it’s in conflict.
So…
Fuck Trump obviously. And everyone who voted for him. (Edit and fuck everyone in the voting doesn’t matter camp)
Also fuck Mitch McConnell
But god damnit, fuck Obama for not fighting Mitch, and fuck Ruth for not retiring when she should have.
So, has there been a more monumentally catastrophic series of rulings like we’ve had this week?
Presidents are kings and immune to the law
Kickbacks are now legal
Executive agencies completely destroyed
I know other individual rulings may be worse, but in this case the series of rulings.
I wonder what they must think of telecommunication satellites.
The space rays are making me sick!
What good does dumbing them down by defunding education have if you don’t indoctrinate the new cattle?
They’re farming GOP idiots.
Keep em poor, uneducated and breeding without a way to abort and in the future no contraception
That was a teleprompter.
He just did a speech today on a teleprompter and was supposedly fine as well.
We’ve mined this very specific location with very powerful ordinance!
I wonder how long they can “hold onto” a recall like this while waiting for others to announce one first.
Is it just like, oh there’s so much paperwork so we have a 6 month window, and it doesn’t even matter since the parts aren’t available until the fall anyway?
There should probably be better rules on holding info back.
You probably agreed to all of this in the billion page TOS so it’s no unsolicited.
They’ll find a way to turn that into prison not jail.
They definitely had something, I remember reading about it at the time. it might have involved what they knew about previous coronavirus’s as well. Whatever they had though it ended up being wrong.
I’ve been doing my part for over 15 years now.
I’ve only had to go 2 or 3 times on roadtrips when they were literally the only option, always late at night.
The vaccines initially did just that, it just turns out it was able to adapt anyway or they were wrong.
Ya, that’s how it goes.
Here it is
https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/msom.2020.0937
It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!
Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.
Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.
Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn’t announced it yet jumps in and doesn’t suffer as much.
Also, I’m not sure being pardoned has an impact on if they can be discharged for following an order that a tribunal disagrees with. They might not end up in jail, but it could be the end of their military career
