    That’s wholly incorrect. The only reason Trump’s executive orders have any power is due to the full majority support of the Republican-controlled Congress and the conservative SCOTUS.

    Democrats forced a 15-day vote on the constitutionality of Trump’s initial purse-control power grab. The Republican majority redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day, just to a valid holding the vote.

    This amount of control comes from the abject loyalty of all three branches.

      How did that happen? Didn’t the dems do something? Wasn’t Biden fighting this super hard for 4 years? \s
