Nice. Replaced with a more pro labor candidate I hope. Along with putting stricter regulators in charge of oversight of finance industry .. very promising .. so far ..
Christ almighty.
Again, 9 of those are repeals of trump EO’s and one is a mask mandate.
It’s the granularity that is so concerning.
Is it just me or does that new press secretary give me Allison Janney vibes?
I really don’t like the concept of EO’s. I would prefer that they did not exist, or were time limited (ie, 3 months, then need congressional approval to extend). For me they are yet another example of the executive branch taking power from the legislative.
Where they should be used is for emergencies, like a federal mask mandate.
I’m guessing it’s the hair?
I mean that the comparison is being done only after two weeks. I hope this granularity doesn’t continue.
I have absolutely no issue with any of his EOs.
That's what happens when you keep chopping and changing managers.
What else is new, I guess?

Yeah, probably that's it. Maybe the eyes as well? Just got same vibes from looking at her.
Very solid, this.
You are probably right. I don’t think Big Oil is too arsed about it at this point, as they have already built and re-purposed other pipelines around it and have not been required to upgrade oil-transport train cars - that serve as the alternative - to modern standards.
Same. I have no issues with any of them, it’s jyst that the concept makes me feel icky.

Hate to say this, but I hope your wife feels a little icky around early evening on Sunday.

The contracts with states/municipalities are absurd and will be tossed out in court. Otherwise, administrations could've done that in the past to restrict what their successors do. There's a contract with a sheriff's office in rural NC that is part of these agreements, and, generally speaking, sheriff's don't have the ability to enter into contracts on their own in NC. They typically have to be signed by the county manager and chairman of the board of county commissioners. The BOCCs can delegate some amount of that authority (ex: can enter into contracts for purchases < $x), but I've never seen an instance where a sheriff could sign a legally valid contract (doesn't stop them from signing them) without approval from their board/county manager. Typically I'd assume that DHS/ICE had done their homework to ensure it was all legal, but they're all clowns.
The official responsible was also illegally appointed so it will all be moot anyway.
I'm sorry, but I'm confused here. Who's wife? his or yours? Are we still talking about EOs?
Ah thanks. Not too far off, right?
Well, we can only hope so. The amount of things they are doing. Signing contracts, deliberately tying up funds, etc. It's disgusting and typical of that scum.
His wife. She’s a Green Bay fan.I'm sorry, but I'm confused here. Who's wife? his or yours? Are we still talking about EOs?

Ok, this makes sense. My word I was confused. Sunday is high of 28 and snow.perfect.
Those pronouns can help!
We snapped that jinx a long time ago against Philly. Having Brady will also help counter the cold.
“shake our foes”
china wont know how to handle fireworks
What does that word mean, granularity?
To an immense detail - down to individual grains of rice, for example.
Cruz knows full well the treaty has nothing to do with Paris, the City. However, he knows his audience is full of idiots who don't know a thing.

This thread will be 90% @Eboue posts about Biden being a cnut. I don't necessarily agree with it but more power to him.
It's almost as good as the British one;
"I, _____, swear to uphold the rule of law and oh shit who the feck let a poor person in the fecking room?"
