The former president’s allies are developing a plan that would immediately deploy the military to the streets against potential demonstrators.

So doing the same thing Trump was rightly criticized for. Gotcha.

The Senate is not filibuster proof, so making a change like adding Supreme Court seats would never fly. Speaking of that, with the razor slim majority the Dems have there, taking a hard tack against Sinema and Manchin would have been like arguing with a shotgun whose trigger had been pulled not to blow your head off. Or do you think Sinema and Manchin are idiots who didn't know they could get their bread buttered from either side of the aisle and still come out smelling like roses? Those two held all the power and they knew it.

When fascists are knocking at the door, the time to play nice has passed.

Trump was on track to have the most executive orders in the recent past. Obama, bush and Clinton all had more.

Executive orders are an integral part of any presidency. It's literally how each president makes their mark
