No ‘Unity’ In Biden’s Executive Orders
No ‘unity’ in Biden's executive orders: Goodwin (nypost.com)
14 Feb 2021 ~~ By Michael Goodwin
It is early, far below the traditional threshold of 100 days. Still, watching the major missteps of the Biden administration reminds that even presidents don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
My expectations were low, but not low enough. I hoped, naively, that with political polarization leading to growing violence from both sides, the new president would make at least minimal efforts to keep his promise of building national unity.
Instead, Joe Biden spent his first three weeks issuing more than 50 executive orders and actions that fall along straight partisan lines, with nearly all of them delivering goodies to his party’s far-left wing and/or reversing successful Trump-administration policies. In most cases, he simply signed the sweeping directives without explaining the ostensible public benefits.
As bad as the process looked, optics are not the real problem. It’s the terrible substance of the major orders that is driving a stake through the heart of national reconciliation.
The new president made killing thousands of construction jobs connected to the Keystone XL pipeline one of his first acts, practically invited illegal immigrants to swarm the border and gives cover to obstructionist teacher unions that want to keep schools closed.

The politics of party destruction
Dr. Ruth Cohen neatly sums up the mood in Washington, writing:
“The Dems want to destroy Trump and all those who embrace the Republican Party. They tolerate no survivors, only turncoats. Nothing else matters until they succeed. Is that a government?”
Comment:
More likely China Joey Xi neither understood nor cared. about the 50 plus Executive Orders he signed.
But of course he expects Unity and reconciliation of Republicans to bow to the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Party.
So far, there's almost no opposition to Joey Xi's massive EO’s.
All the malcontent SOBs that have been shrieking across social media for the past 4 plus years that Trump was a "tyrant" and a "dictator" - hope they're happy. They have a real one now.
I find it a true dichotomy for when Trump issued just a couple Exceutive Orders the PM/DSA Democrats met them with multiple lawsuits, spent months and even years in litigation.
The spineless supine “Republican” politicians appear now to be indifferent to all of it. Meaning they agree.
Guess their paycheck is linked to that.
Meanwhile we will have 100
days of rioting, destruction of cities, attacking Federal buildings, arson, looting, injuring/mamming/killing people DOES NOT EQUATE to a day of mini “rioting”. As proven by Portland, Seattle, Denver and now NYC.
Indeed the goal is not unity or reconciliation - obviously. The goal is raw exercise of power, especially including the power to destroy the opposition, e.g. by altering election rules and letting in millions of those who are likely to vote for you, to say nothing of attempting to destroy the leaders and spokespeople of the opposition, including anyone who defends them (lawyers), owns a business (Mike Lindell), or even just speaks for them (Gina Carano).
