The Pen of a Mindless Dictator
Joe Biden sure changed his tune, hasn’t he? The candidate who warned against presidential overreach through executive orders during the campaign has transformed himself into the mighty wielder of the Pen.
He has become, as he himself claimed, a Dictator.
Biden has, through the wave of his mighty pen, signed more executive orders in his first week in office than the previous three Presidents combined.
During the Democrat debate in September of 2019, it was Joe Biden who warned Kamala Harris about legislating by the stroke of a pen.
So what happened?
What made Joe go from “It’s unconstitutional” to “Yes we can (*cackle*cackle*cackle*)”?
Well, part of it is Joe isn’t the President and Chief Executive. As I said last week, Interagency Consensus is back in charge:
Biden will go back to the Obama way. He will outsource US foreign and domestic policy to nameless, faceless drones completely unaccountable to the voters. They will once again determine US policy. Biden’s only job is to sit down at his desk and sign his name to everything they place before him.
Joe isn’t calling the shots; he isn’t leading this band.
And all his twaddle during the campaign about following the Constitution and not bypassing the Legislature doesn’t make a damn bit of difference.
The people really in charge of the Biden White House don’t care about the Constitution, Separation of Powers, or any of that pesky stuff. And they sure as hell don’t give a tinker’s fart if the crap Executive Orders they’re forcing Biden to sign are not at all what the American people want.
And when Joe sits down to start signing a stack of executive orders he’s never even read, what are the odds that he even remembers his stern words of warning about their overuse?
This is the guy who last week repeated the phrase “Salute the Marines” instead of, you know, saluting the Marines.
For crying out loud, the guy gets defeated by a pen!
The Biden White House is relying on executive orders to ram through the far Left agenda because they know these radical ideas would never make it out of Congress – even with the slim Democrat majorities. They know this is not what the American people want.
Representative government means nothing to these cranks.
And since they can’t get their way using the Constitutional process, they’ll just bypass it altogether and have their mindless Dictator and his pen enact their agenda by fiat.
Candidate Joe was right about one thing: this is how dictators rule. It is not how things are supposed to work in a Constitutional Republic founded on self-government.
But Candidate Joe’s words are long gone from his memory — lost somewhere inside that fetid stew he calls a brain.
And even if he could summon them up, President
Joe isn’t the one calling the shots in this dictatorship.
His only job is to read words off a teleprompter then sit down, pull out his trusty pen and start signing.
And as we begin to suffer from the impact of these executive fiats, old Joe won’t even remember signing a single one of them.
