You and I already did circles on this, embedded within the executive branch is a bureaucracy that in many ways works to execute a leftist agenda. According to the constitution the president is the executive branch and therefore should be allowed to rid the executive of those who would work to thwart his agenda. There are checks and balances on presidential powers, however the Administrative state was never outlined in the country's constitution and has become a stronger force in our federal government than Congress itself. I am all for Trump's agenda of limiting the powers of the 4th branch of government.

Within 48 hours of taking the oath...Biden censored RFK Jr.

He started out Banana Republic...and has gone downhill from there.

And, you are then by default all in on all the chaos, disruption and other authoritarian and avenging acts he has promised.

Trump is the prince of chaos and incompetence in his staff selections so nothing will go as planned (if there even is a thought-through plan, which is doubtful).

Biden would probably sell the bodies of aborted babies since he loves abortion so much, he being a so-called
"good Catholic" and all. Remember, he said the Pope told him he was a good Catholic.

Trump has more than proven that he seeks an authoritarian type gov't. If you can't see that, your hatred is clouding your judgement. His interference, haranguing, threatening and disrespecting of every aspect of our gov't and its people have been so blatantly displayed that many of his own staff, including some of those who haven't been fired, have spoken out. Perhaps everyone is colluding and persecuting him out of boredom.

You can't be serious.

When voting for President, I do not consider a candidate's religion.
I for one believe in the separation of church and state.

I look back to his first Administration and see nothing that follows the outline that you are putting forth. Biden on the other hand has unleashed regulations that will transform American life and what is worse is that the infrastructure is not in place to make it feasible but the regulations are still forth coming. I enjoy eating beef and driving my combustion powered car, I like my gas stove and consider my mini splits to be efficient enough, I certainly do not see where the government gets the power to regulate such other than the court aided expanse of the regulatory state which has in my opinion taken things much too far.

I don't see anything getting better under the current Administration, education, border, public safety, family budgets, or foreign affairs? Can you point to anything that the Biden Administration is doing well other than DEI or ESG which the government should not be involved in, that is for our society to workout without the heavy hand of the federal government.

Well, I guess there is danger in the selections no matter who is president as with Mayorkas, Rice, Grandholm, Blinken, Klain now Zients, et.al. because unfortunately instead of “nothing going as planned,” as you suggest, everything is going EXACTLY as planned.

I wouldn't call safe drinking water, safe medications, equal access to a good education, safe and reliable energy, equal access to voting and equal access to wifi as heavy-handed. Look to all the red states who are benefiting from federal programs for things they cannot provide for their residents. Look to New Orleans, Miami, etc. for recovery from hurricanes that the city or state couldn't provide. Look at Flint, MI for what federal can do that state and local couldn't. You are often referred to as myopic snd this is one such occasion that explains why.

You are taking things to the extreme, nobody is advocating for those things and nobody is advocating for completely doing away with those agencies, just bring them to heal. Personally I would love to see regulations go through a ratification process through congress where the legislative powers of the government lie as per our constitution, ratified by congress and signed off on by the president just like any other legislation.

Flint MI was a failure and there is nothing that the federal government would have done to stop it. Kinda like East Palestine OH, the federal government was well aware of issues within the rail system but they did nothing to prevent it because they were focused elsewhere (Climate Change), and I am sure that the big rail lines had enough cash to slow the regulatory environment. You demonstrate much faith in the federal government, I have very little.

No one will force you to give up harmful activities. Just like smoking, you can keep doing what you want to do, but have some hurdles or incentives put in place to minimize future damage. You don't have to sit on the cactus.

WTF are you talking about? Off topic, we are not talking about smoking. However there is a push to limit the raising of live stock, ranchers are feeling that the government is working against them. Even crop farmers are having difficulty with the government's regulations.
