In reply to the discussion: Trump, 79, Forces America to Watch 4-Hour Football Game [View all]BumRushDaShow
(166,309 posts)77. I am a retired fed after 30+ years of service
I know what E.O.s are SUPPOSED to be for - directing and guiding employees, like I was, on how to implement the law (including developing regulations that must go through a Federal Register process). Meaning they are NOT for "making law".
But that is not happening at the moment until the courts smack them down as they mostly did his first term, but have been thwarted by "Daddy John Roberts" this 2nd term.
What I mean by "state-run television" is the literal co-opting of the airwaves with an identical message (not "variations of RW lunacy" ) everywhere.
