Joe Biden has carried out 33 executive orders in his first week as president.

This compares to

5 by Obama
4 by Trump
1 by Clinton
And zero by Bush jr

Some were directly overturning Trumps while others were because he felt it should be so.

Dictatorial like governance from the get go.

Did you not call him sleepy Joe a few months ago?

This is the crazy thing

They called him "sleepy Joe",

Said he hadn't done anything for 47 years,

Claimed he was just going to be a Democrat figurehead.

Now all of a sudden they are whinging because he is working too much, I think the real problem is they are seeing Biden dismantle Trumps stupidity and they don't like it one bit.

These people are never going to be happy.

I've a feeling that a large portion of people who voted for Trump or support him are very angry in general.

I blame the "anger porn" that Fox broadcast at night time. Make people go to bed angry, keep the blood boiling

Tell me how

Unfortunately, they were happy for the last 4 years as they salivated over Trump's 'draining the swamp' or 'saying it straight' or whatever other ridiculous phrase they bought in to while he stumbled and fell from one fiasco to the next while pleading for praise.

I don’t think they believe he could have lost.
He was beaten by “Sleepy Joe in his basement”.

Now Biden is erasing their leaders legacy.
And I’m bloody loving it.

Don't forget that "sleepy Joe" was also capable of rigging an election on a national level and somehow managed to hide all of the evidence.

Yeah, but Biden owns a rolex!

Scandalous.

If Sleepy Joe in the basement can overwhelmingly defeat Trump, how bad is Trump?

Isn't that the entire GOP Modus Operandi though?

Keep their base permanently angry or afraid so that they vote for them.

Everything they say and do is designed to play on peoples fears.

Immigrants raping their daughters , stealing their jobs and turning cities into lawless hell-scapes.

Democrats seeking to take their guns , steal their all money through taxation and assassinate God.

I think that pretty much covers the GOP manifesto for the last 15+ years.

I would say Fox News is just an evolution in what has been fed to Republican voters in the States for a long time at a more diluted level. To receive what Fox News says without perhaps regarding it as sensationalist and fanatical, you'd have to already be primed for it.

Were they though? They spent 4 years complaining about Fake news, deep state, the democrats, immigrants, BLM, etc etc.

They didn't seem very happy to me. Of course, there were brief glimpses of happiness when Trump got one over the Libtards, but overall the whole experience must be seen as a massive disappointment

Stormy Daniels said something similar..

He also has to use Executive orders right now as because McConnell has refused to agree to the new "Terms of Congress" or whatever it's called , GOP Senators are still the chairs of all the committees despite losing the Majority and as such they would refuse to bring any of his requests to the floor.

See for example yesterday Graham , who is still the chairman of the Judicial committee refusing to hold an approval hearing for Merrick Garland (deja vu anyone???) because of the impeachment trial.

Why am I not surprised?

A few days after freezing a $290bn Trump administration arms deal to Saudi Arabia, Biden's America has reopened relations with Palestine following a 3 year freeze by his predecessor.

Must be an awful shock for the Trumpists to see Joe Biden getting on with it and getting a lot of work done. They were absolutely shocked when he showed up to the debates and wasn't the mumbling drooling mess the Trump campaign had made him out to be.

They must be even more shocked that he isn't in fact sleepy and is getting a huge amount done and in 2 weeks has done more than the Dear Leader managed in 4 years.

Not only Trump’s stupidity, but also the ridiculous notion that Biden would sit on the sidelines and Harris would run the show because Biden is too old and doesn’t know who he is.

Only now are they seeing otherwise, despite the fact that he tore strips off Trump throughout the campaign, especially in the 2nd debate.

It's because Fox News is (at least practically) a fascist propaganda network.

One of Umberto Eco's definintions of fascism is an example of this contradictory attack:

Bidens press team have been accused of screening questions from journalists before press conferences. Claims of undermining his promise of respect to a free press.

So they seem to ask for questions ahead of time so that they can prepare an answer, which seems reasonable enough.

It is not supposed to be a gotcha event, it was just that Trump was nearly always lying or making stuff up so they were always worried about it.

It also doesn't say that the press are being forced to do it, or ignored or refused permission to ask a question if they don't state it ahead of time.

I do love your new found concern for the freedom of the press though. What brought about this conversion. Because if the MSM are the fake news and enemy of the people that Trump led us to believe that why would you be in the least bit concerned if they were not respected?

And it's pointed out in your own article that it's not unusual as a practice in multiple administrations...

Let me get this right

They ask for the questions in advance so that they can maybe do a little research and give an honest answer?

Did you prefer the old way where a question would get asked and the press sec would spout a load of lies/half truths?

Seriously? This is what you guys have to whinge about :pac:

Ok, so you just shudder onto a new "scandal" without addressing the previous points raised.

I mean she could just scream "Fake news" and lie.

In one way I can see the benefit of screening the questions allowing you to gather the necessary information to answer them adequately.
On the flipside sometimes an unexpected question can prompt a more telling response.

Another failed "gotcha" moment.

Can we open some sort of table where we can catalogue each "swing and a miss"?

Its the same with them all and the worse is they have absolutely no shame!

They see a headline, click on it, read the first two or three lines and think

"HA!! This will show them"

When it's pointed out that they are in fact wrong or that the article they posted actually refutes thier claim they just disappear, give it anfew hours/days and the same poster will be back to embarrass themselves with yet another silly "gotcha" fail.

I think your last line is correct but Psaki seems to have her brief well covered at least in terms of the major issues in the news cycle.

There’s nothing in the story really. Put them ahead of time so we can get you a definite answer, or don’t. Nobody is being barred from the WH briefings for not doing and throwing the questions out there anyway.

extra gravy

Or a thread so it's not clogging up this thread with crap.
