Look at FDR

2018-06-20 17:08:24 UTC  

good lord

2018-06-20 17:08:31 UTC  

twice as many as the next

2018-06-20 17:09:03 UTC  

Reading back on those times, both parties (or at least their Presidents) sound more like Obama in how they tried to consolidate power in the executive branch

2018-06-20 17:09:06 UTC  

*super*-disappointing

2018-06-20 17:09:31 UTC  

Pretty sure there was a really bad fissure in the Republicans because of this, too

2018-06-20 17:09:34 UTC  

@Reaps they still teach civics but it's only for 1/2 a school year

2018-06-20 17:09:45 UTC  

the other half is economics

2018-06-20 17:11:01 UTC  

Depends on the school

2018-06-20 17:11:04 UTC  

Teddy was grooming his VP to be next President but Taft had other ideas

2018-06-20 17:11:59 UTC  

```Taft sought reductions to trade tariffs, then a major source of governmental income, but the resulting bill was heavily influenced by special interests. His administration was filled with conflict between the conservative wing of the Republican Party, with which Taft often sympathized, and the progressive wing, toward which Roosevelt moved more and more```

2018-06-20 17:12:10 UTC  

"the *progressive wing*, toward which *Roosevelt* moved *more and more*"

2018-06-20 17:12:28 UTC  

Would you technically count any carry over EOs as their as well? Since they could end them.

2018-06-20 17:12:42 UTC  

That's why I find EOs so dumb in the first place

2018-06-20 17:12:52 UTC  

Anything that can be enacted with an EO can be rescinded by another EO

2018-06-20 17:13:00 UTC  

Like, *just stop fucking with shit*

2018-06-20 17:13:03 UTC  

EOs were meant for short term immidiate issues

2018-06-20 17:13:21 UTC  

Not to replace laws

2018-06-20 17:13:47 UTC  

"but the legislative branch is complex and takes too long!"

That's the fucking *point*, to prevent sweeping changes to law being enacted with a wave of a single person's arm because he thinks he knows better

that comment wasn't aimed at retorting your above comment, but nonetheless

2018-06-20 17:15:07 UTC  

Temperature is reaching a point where it's annoying to type

2018-06-20 17:15:14 UTC  

12 degrees C

2018-06-20 17:15:32 UTC  

That's like 50 F

2018-06-20 17:16:01 UTC  

Don’t like the cold?

2018-06-20 17:16:16 UTC  

🇦🇺

2018-06-20 17:16:34 UTC  

50F is perfectly nice weather

2018-06-20 17:17:04 UTC  

It’s not cold enough to snow

2018-06-20 17:17:07 UTC  

generally at least 80 here

2018-06-20 17:17:21 UTC  

But isn’t it winter right now?

2018-06-20 17:17:23 UTC  

I'd move to NZ if I wanted 50

2018-06-20 17:32:58 UTC  
2018-06-20 17:33:04 UTC  

But, winter is coming

2018-06-20 17:40:14 UTC  

But watch. They will Sue Trump for overreach for the EO citing the very law they ignore and say is Trumps policy.

2018-06-20 17:40:50 UTC  

you can't expect consistancy from these people

2018-06-20 17:41:50 UTC  

Of course. But I think Trump is right. After mid terms they will drop it until 2020

2018-06-20 18:15:31 UTC  

If anybody ever needs proof to show people that these immigration laws were around during Obama.
