The country is moving in the direction of more open civil conflict. If you wish to see and understand that, the reasons, such could be done. But it would require a revolution in your methods.

One example should prove HQ wrong. That’s all I’m submitting. Address anything else if you like and discuss with anyone else.

It wasn’t about the Obama administration.
It was simply about, as requested, an example of acting like a dictator.
Let’s get back to the real issue, which is whether I have provided an example of dictatorial action.
No remote psychoanalysis is necessary.

The real issue revolves around the point at which police may legitimately disperse (or violently oppose) protests which are riots.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:33 pm What is it about dispersing dissenters by force that is not what a dictator might do?
Why do you say that when you know how Donald cleared the park so that he could cross the street for a photo op?
Good on you.
Yes. They are done without consulatation with the democratic institutions; they are done without specific mandate; there is no scrutiny to them.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:38 pmWould it be fair to say that executive orders are an instance of authoritarianism?Sculptor wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:31 pmThe bigfatorangebabyman, or as he is also know Cheetonixon.

A Short History
Washington and his successors as president have issued thousands of executive orders. The State Department began numbering them in 1907, working from files going back to 1862. The Federal Register Act of 1936 built on that effort. Today, the official number is close to 14,000.
Even so, approximately 1,500 unnumbered executive orders also have been compiled, according to the American Presidency Project, which notes that there may be as many as 50,000 unnumbered orders.
Washington issued a total of eight executive orders in his two terms, according to the project’s data, while John Adams, James Madison, and James Monroe all issued only one. Presidents who issued the least also include Thomas Jefferson (four) and John Quincy Adams (three).
Lincoln, with 48 executive orders, was the first to approach 50. Ulysses Grant with 217 was the first to break 200, and he held that record until Theodore Roosevelt came along (1,081). Other leading issuers of executive orders include Woodrow Wilson (1,803), Calvin Coolidge (1,203), Herbert Hoover (968), and Harry Truman (907).
The record holder by far, though, is Franklin Roosevelt with 3,721—five of which the Supreme Court overturned in 1935. Other modern presidents and their tallies include Dwight Eisenhower (484), Lyndon Johnson (325), Richard Nixon (346), Jimmy Carter (320), Ronald Reagan (381), George H.W. Bush (166), Bill Clinton (364), George W. Bush (291), and Barack Obama (260 as of Nov. 20).
For example, a president does not have the authority to enter into a treaty with another country, such as Ukraine.Under our (United States) system of government, the president’s authority to issue such orders (or to engage in any other form of unilateral executive action) must come from the Constitution or federal law. Put another way, an executive order can be used to execute a power the commander in chief already has. It can’t be used to give the presidency new powers.
The Democrat Party That Hates America is totalitarian, and it fears its own dreams of Trump.
