    No. I think almost all of his executive orders have been things only congress does. No one is really stopping him from pumping hundreds of them out whether or not they’re even allowed to work. Also, he’s trying to pressure a private company through executive order in this case. They can say “fuck no.” And they should say “fuck no.”

        The courts have no mechanism to enforce their decisions except the executive, so there’s no check on the executive misbehaving if Congress decided to not remove him from office for ignoring the courts, and since Congress is complicit nothing will be done unless some radicalized shooter aims slightly more to the left next time.

        And thus enters the fine line of being a tyrant. I never vote for the two-party/uni-party system, but is quite amusing to see the outcomes destroy democracy from both sides. Amusing in the most terrifying way.
