dude, you're spouting conspiracies and then lying about it
there's opinions and then there's not admitting that you're saying what you're saying because said opinions are a) peddled as fact, which gives others free rein to absolutely shred them if they're incorrect, and b) really fucking stupid

I respect your right to an individual opinion. And if other's care to try and disprove this facts I have laid out, I welcome that. What is do not respect is bashing. Pointing out a coincidence is a lot different that stating a conspiracy with little to no evidence.

Executive orders in first 10 days: Biden = 42. Trump = 6.

It's the content of those orders that matters, not the quantity. Besides, Trump spent most of his first ten days golfing, along with a quarter of his presidency overall.

Trump issued 220 executive orders throughout his presidency, and Biden is currently at 30 so far. Many of Biden's executive orders are also just undoing Trump's. Thank you for bringing this stupid argument about Biden's executive orders to our attention.

It's called "busy-work". He should a page out of Trump's playbook and hit the golf course, because more business gets done on the golf course than in the office. Call it a hunch, but I do not think we will see Biden doing much else besides sitting behind a desk.

I am seriously not believing the hype. Give it time, and we will see what these executive orders actually amount to.

In the mean time, watching Biden is even more funnier than watch Bush Jr. Who would have thought?

LMAO, if by "business" you mean Trump schmoozing with corporate big-wigs to get more donations for his personal account, then sure.

Trump signs executive orders = LiTeRaL DiCtAtOr

Biden signs 7x more executive orders = Hero.

Liberal privilege.

There's no serious argument that undoing the former President's orders is dictatorship. Biden also hasn't approached Trump's executive order number, and Biden is working within the bounds of what one can do with an executive order.

You can't honestly be arguing that Biden would be more productive on a golf course than behind a desk merely because Trump spent a lot of time golfing. You're being satirical.

Very true. Trump set a precedent opening the door to the next President with quite a challenge to out do his number. 220 in 4 years, while he 2 predecessors each had under 300 with a full 8 year term.

Cannot complain about the number of Biden's EO's without taking into account the sheer number Trump had.

Trump signs authoritarian executive orders, many of which weren't binding to begin with = gets called an authoritarian.

Biden signs orders repealing all those authoritarian orders = 60%+ approve.

Conservative victimhood complex.

I would hate to prejudge his game. But yeah, get out of the office and mingle a little bit. Go talk with the world leaders. Do something... the whole entire world is watching, and it's been pretty boring so far (and that is an understatement).

I mean FUCK, Trump is still the number one show on the world stage. WTF?!?!

I am yet to see one person adequately explain why student debt forgiveness is something we should pursue, regardless of whether we're talking about $10K or $50K. I see college and university education as a business transaction - you pay a service provider, the educational institution, $X and expect that your investment into yourself will provide you a better chance at finding employment and earning a higher wage/salary. Assuming that happens, you now have disposable income to pay off your debt. If that *doesn't* happen, you've made a poor business decision. Debt forgiveness does enable society at large to gain a higher education, yes - in all the unproductive areas. People who require urgent debt forgiveness don't have a degree in STEM, they have degrees in areas that are not highly sought after by employers, which is precisely why they're having difficulties paying them off. I'm not saying that such majors shouldn't exist - pursue a degree in aboriginal dance theory if that's your goal in life, but that's not a sensible investment, it's entertainment, in the same way as learning how to crochet, or other such hobbies, is entertainment. If anything, I could see a substantial benefit in extending scholarship programs for the poor who are talented, but lack the funding to fully spread their wings. What I don't want to see is wasting tax money on bailing out an army of failed "artists" who, mistakenly, thought that there was a market for paintings painted using Campbell's soup.

Boring is good when compared to a dumpster fire.

Trump isn't even a show anymore. He left the White House a loser, and the only thing I saw about him today was the demolition of his tower.

thing is that college and university education shouldn't even BE a transaction in the first place
there's no good reason why it can't be available as a right, considering it's an often-necessary extension of a basic human right as is
