House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

"There's been an ongoing effort to push back against far right extremism, and not a single thing that they've actually done is a matter of law right now - - not a single thing. That doesn't suggest to me that there's a scramble - it suggests to me that they are in disarray, and they haven't been effective in accomplishing the things they are purportedly trying to jam down the throats of the American people."

LW fake news outlets disagree. An NBC News Review shows that Trump signed more EOs in 10 days than any of his predecessors did in their first 100 days. Actions are coming at so dizzying a pace that it can be tough to track what Trump has done and what he's turned around and undone.

Mark Halprin/The Commentary Magazine Podcast:

"I'm baffled and somewhat speechless, and [Trump] is just barreling downfield, and democrats are nowhere on the field, and they've never seen anything like . . . not just the activity, but the inability of [Trump's] opponents to forget stopping him. They're barely (with a few exceptions) slowing him down."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is in denial, and GOP should exploit that.
 
Yes. I agree that the dems are in complete denial- over how truly racist, misogynist, bigoted, homophobic, and anti-science this country really is. They will continue to lose election after election until they learn.

I remember in Trump's first term, people used to say "this is not us". They just couldn't believe it; couldn't wrap their head around it. But you know what? It is. This is apparently who we really are. The dems just have to realize what they are working with here.

LOL! The guy is delusional.
 

You're missing the point, an EO is not a law. Signing an EO is basically an empty gesture. Maybe shows intent. But has no actual legislation or funding.

Absolutely true.

The founding fathers of this country probably foresaw this as a possibility, but they couldn't imagine people being stupid enough to use democracy to destroy their own democracy. Or maybe they did, and probably thought to themselves, "well, then maybe then in that case that's what they deserve". Oh well, we had a good run, I guess.

"A republic, if you can keep it."
-Ben Franklin

“When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents...— despotic in his ordinary demeanour — known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty — when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity — to join in the cry of danger to liberty — to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion — to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day — It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’ … No popular government was ever without its Catilines and its Caesars. These are its true enemies.”
-Alexander Hamilton

“… cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
_George Washington

“A Man compounded of Law and Gospel, is able to cheat a whole Country with his Religion, and then destroy them under Colour of Law … .”
-Benjamin Franklin

"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.

Only problem is when they tire of the king. They think the face-eating leopards are getting full.
 
Well, yeah.

I wouldn't count on it. This one seems to have some serious diarrhea. We thought it was done back in 2020... but no, it's still going. Now it's just spraying all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the bedsheets, and it just keeps going....
 
The democrats are in in fact in complete disarray, chasing after (filing law suites against EOs & actions, failed demonstrations and rallys) making them look like they are chasing their tails and are trying to protect government fraud, waste, stupid spending that the majority of the electorate hate - this last part sinking them in their approval polling results even further.
 

That Jeffries quote is not in your link. Where did you get it?

Ok, then that would explain why Jeffries offered this red herring as a basis for his denial:

not a single thing that they've actually done is a matter of law right now - - not a single thing.

But that doesn't meant that Trumps EOs are not effective. They are tremendously effective, and they've reversed a lot of the dopey things 46 did.

House Minority Leader Jeffries seems to be in some serious denial.
Yep. And the zanier they get, the more moderate dems want to distance themselves from the Dem Party, and become independents . . .

What kind of Republic do you think we have when the country is being run by a vast unelected bureaucracy that has essentially become its own branch of government and, if some of our judges are to be believed, aren’t accountable to anyone. Both Congress and the Executive Branch lost control of the administrative state a long time ago. What Trump is doing is wresting that control back because it’s common sense that Executive Branch departments, agencies, and employees are supposed to be ultimately accountable to the head of that branch.

That’s the only hope I have, the Congress and the electorate didn’t “save” us, I don’t hold out that the courts will, either. We are going to go through some things….
 
@Napoleon, when you respond to me all I hear is BLAH BLAH BLAH.

So consider your response unread.
 
He's got as point that they aren't passing any laws. Congress is sitting on its hands while the presidency takes over their work.

Yep. They exist only as cheerleaders and a rubber stamp.

Sort of like how the Roman senate wound up.
 

In short, the constitution has failed us. Its time to go beyond it. Authoritarianism.
 

Hakeem Jeffries is a Democratic Party rodeo clown. That's all he'll ever be.

One of the Democrat's own was caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She shifted FEMA funds to illegal migrants housing, expensive NY Hotels. The Democrats are quite OKAY with this and all the federal government corruption, waste, a lack of transparency that DOGE has uncovered.

Hakeem Jeffries should be thanking the Trump administration for public accountability to the people of this country. He's all smoke and mirrors, and is as corrupt as they come. Their newest boogiemen are the billionaires, look over there at the billionaires! It's a deflection to cover their own complacency with government corruption, and theft. Scoundrels!

FEMA CFO Mary Comans was just fired for funneling $58M to illegal migrant hotels in Manhattan.
