Discussion: Trump Signs Order Requiring Two Regulations Be Nixed For Every New One

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday requiring that federal agencies identify two regulations for repeal for every single proposed new regulation.

I was told there’d be no math.

New regulation: All Muslims must wear the star and crescent symbol on the outside of their clothes.

Nixed regulations: 1) Environmental impact studies, 2) child labor and minimum wage laws

Shall we continue?

This is how a 13 year old (and a “slow” one at that) would approach simplifying something too complicated for them to understand.

This is fun!

Let’s say you want to regulate Monosodium phosphate.

You eliminate Mercury emissions standards, and Manganese regulations,

Then you pass a single law regulating everything beginning with “M”!

The stupidest possible thing done at the stupidest possible time in the stupidest possible way, carefully calculated to appeal to the stupidity of the stupidest people in the base while simultaneously giving an appeasing salad toss to the increasingly nervous oligarchs. So, just another day under the Trump Regime.

Meanwhile, the Dow is down 182 points as I write.

Is any other branch of government going to get to do anything? Looks like Trumpski and his nazi puppeteer are doing all the work. Poor guys. It must be exhausting.

That word accurately describes Tramp’s entire foray into politics. May I also suggest ‘jingoism’ to characterize this administration:
jin·go·ism
ˈjiNGɡōˌizəm/
n.
derogatory
extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy.

synonyms: extreme patriotism, chauvinism, extreme nationalism, xenophobia, flag-waving…

example: MAGA (I added that)
