Hold on to your butts - Syne - Nov 5, 2026
@6:29: So what I'm getting at, a lot of the lame duck presidents feel they're unbound and they have nothing to lose. They can no longer hurt their congressional majorities or minorities. They're going to be out in two years and they're going to executive order and veto their way domestically and the imperial presidency operates as they wish.
VDH is right. Trump lets the diplomats, like Vance and co., talk too much ("with people you can't talk to") and stretched Iran into the midterms.

Executive orders are a dime a dozen..What can easily be ordered with a stroke of a pen can as easily be abolished with a stroke of a pen.

Tell that to Clinton, Obama, and Biden. The precedent is there.
