Biden Is Resetting the Ethical Norms Trump Trampled as President

There has long been an expectation that the American President will use the power of the office—and the big white house and the large two-tone plane that comes with it—to do the work of governing the country, and not as props to advance personal political goals.

Donald Trump blew through those expectations. He rolled Air Force One up to stump speeches at airports while running for reelection. He displayed no concern as members of his administration repeatedly engaged in blatantly partisan activity in the course of their work. And most famously, he moved the Republican National Convention to the backyard of the White House in August 2020, accepting his party’s nomination with the iconic columns of the mansion’s South Portico behind him.

In the two and a half years President Joe Biden has been in office, he’s worked to reset the guardrails against such abuses of power. Biden has told aides he doesn’t want to ever be seen using the White House to further his reelection. He does not plan to hold interviews with media on his re-election bid in the Oval Office, said a person familiar with Biden’s plans, a notable shift from his predecessor, who conducted multiple Oval Office interviews (including one with TIME) about his 2020 campaign.

Nonsense, the POTUS isn’t limited by the Hatch Act.

Federal Employee Hatch Act Information

osc.gov

It provides that persons below the policy-making level in the executive branch of the federal government must not only refrain from political practices that would be illegal for any citizen, but must abstain from "any active part" in political campaigns, using this language to specify those who are exempt:[10]

• (i) an employee paid from an appropriation for the Executive Office of the President; or
• (ii) an employee appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, whose position is located within the United States, who determines policies to be pursued by the United States in the nationwide administration of Federal laws.

You do realize it refers to the administration and youknowwho never advised them not to do it and quite frankly approved it. They were all guilty of it

Biden has warned the officials in his admin not to violate the Hatch Act specifically not use their official capacity to influence elections or supporting other candidates

Probe finds Trump officials repeatedly violated Hatch Act

The report from the Office of Special Counsel finds the officials broke the law without consequence and with the approval of the administration in what it describes as a "willful disregard for the Hatch Act."

Hmm…

That ^^^^ wasn‘t a violation of the hatch act or, as you later noted, an abuse of power.

More propaganda and lies.

Let’s look at the truth…



Biden is a disaster, and whoever can’t see that is partisan or propaganda blind or both.

Wake up people!

Even more proof of the lies and corruption from the Biden administration…



This is the reality some choose to ignore.

Two obvious precedents for restoring the reputation of the White House are Carter and GHW Bush.

Both served just one term, which is a bit worrying.

If you would open your eyes and watch the video you would realize this meme is a lie.

I wish people would stop embracing the lies and wake up to reality.

No, just a steamroller through ethical norms, like the entire presidency of the twice-impeached, twice-indicted former one-term president.

That’s just the TDS and hate coming through from the propaganda and brainwashing people seem to embrace.

Always changing the subject with ad homs and deflection.

No surprise there. The real surprise is that people have been duped, and can’t see themselves.

Thanks for proving me correct.

It’s unjustifiable hate and projection due to blind partisan bias and brainwashing through propaganda.

For someone whose postings are the most deplorable on these forums, it's notable you don't know what ad hominum means.

'twice-impeached, twice-indicted'
You have so kindly pointed out the ethical norms which the Democrats / Liberals / Progressives have steamrollered through.

You can add to this the politicization and wielding of federal agencies as political weapons against political enemies, agencies being IRS, EPA, DOJ, FBI, and highly likely more.

You seem to be missing the (highly partisan) point. So long as what Trump (allegedly) did was (considered?) worse than what Biden is (allegedly) doing then Biden isn’t doing anything “too” wrong.

Fair enough.

Biden, his administration, and his handlers have had instances where they've abused their power, such as student loan forgiveness, EPA regulatory overreach, etc. etc.

Thinking back over the last few administration, I don't think any of them haven't been hauled into court for abusing their power / exceeding their authority in one way or another.

It isn't an abuse of power if it was legal when they did it.

Hilarious -- take the scandalous actions by the twice-impeached former president and falsely claim them onto others. So transparent!

Both impeachments were little more than BS (why they failed) and nothing more than politically motivated, directly in character and MO of the Democrats using politicized federal government agencies as political weapons, ever since the Obama administration.
