United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

[What's the sitch?]

You can't be Christian and have knowingly voted for Biden like these people(I get that theres a lot of people that are low information voters and just hear "orange man bad/Hitler" from the TV) , unless the opposition was pro cannibalism, necrophila and whatever else and Biden was the "lesser evil". Not only that but Bidens side was/is the side enabling the trans agenda. Some people are really just blind.

Why would they think the Democrats would somehow do anything vaguely anti abortion when they are the ones pushing it and at best Republicans struggle to make any pushback against it?

I'm honestly disgusted and laughing at the same time to read that letter, its a pretty weird feeling.

I guess for some people the propaganda just worked that well. I mean, labor unions fooled themselves into thinking Biden would be on their side, too, and it should have been just as transparent to them as it should have been to Christians.

I've always been of the opinion that anyone who supports abortion cannot spiritually or theologically be a Christian. I've refused to paint Democratic voters with that brush since I doubt all of them centralize the Democratic support for "women's health" in their reasons for voting as such, but that allowance does not extend to organized groups. Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden might as well read pro-celibacy virgins for pimps.

Out of any group in the US pro-Life Evangelicals should understand the perfidy of the media and the core standards of the Democratic party better than any others. They've been the whipping boys of those groups for decades.

Didn't know where to put this so I put it here if that's alright.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the state's National Guard and State Troopers to respond to the growing border crisis.

Well. Things are escalating again. Good on Abbott for not letting that crap fly.

I hope the Dems take this as a reality check. I doubt they will.

Thank God they're doing something. But it's going to be a problem as long as other states are letting the illegals stream through.

I'm starting to consider Abbott along with Desantis as promising 2024 potential presidential candidates.

I consider "Texas Highway Patrol" on the side of a ... boat to be amusing.

 

[Captain X]

The downside is that this is going to cost the state quite a bit, and right on the heels of a weather crisis thanks to that recent winter storm.

 

[Rocinante]

Because "highway patrol" is a misleading name that a lot have abandoned in favor of "state trooper."

They're state level police.

I think in some states they may be limited to only road enforcement, but in a lot they're just full blown state level police.

 

[Rocinante]

Though not as much as letting hundreds of thousands of illegal and often covid positive immigrants pile over the border.

Expensive, maybe. Probably less than the alternative.

 

[TyrantTriumphant]

The Democrats are still pushing for nationalized voting laws and Biden has just signed an executive order relating to that.

Joe Biden's Executive Order on Voting Tells Agencies to Push Vote-by-Mail, 'Combat Misinformation'

It's nothing too serious yet, but it shows where they're going with this. This is probably to lay the groundwork for more stuff to come.

The way I see it, ordering government agencies to take your interpretation of matters is the rightful authority of the executive, not an abuse of power.

Whoever is in the White House gets to dictate to the entire executive branch. That's why it's the executive branch.

To a degree, this is true. However, there's also a sharp limit to that:

Words have meanings.

Laws are written in words. Those words have meanings, therefore those laws have meanings. Ambiguous or deliberately flexible wording can result in a certain amount of 'wiggle,' however some things are definitively inside or outside of the bounds of the law.

They should make guns and bullets the new currency.

 

[f1onagher]

Guns and bullets have actual value, unlike extensively treated paper, hence why the Moscow Metro in 2033 is more advanced than the US is right now.

lol Trump definitely did not get to do that.

Also, whether or not a tactic is good or bad can be summed up in two questions- "who?" and "whom?"

 

[ShadowArxxy]

lol Trump definitely did not get to do that.

Trump did it plenty. He took *flak* for doing so, but my standpoint is, "I'm criticizing the President's position because I think it's a bad decision, not because I think the executive branch doesn't belong to the President."

We can add it to the syllabus of errors tolerated by the sects of American Christianity; Unitarianism, Modalism, Arianism, Palagianism, Calvinism, Humanism, Modernism, Liberalism, Americanism...

I could go on, but you get the idea.

But those dirty Protestants are worst of all!

Not at all; wolves in shepherd's clothing are the worst.
