    This Executive Order does the following:

    ❧ All federal agencies, including independent regulatory commissions, are now subject to direct White House control.

    ❧ Regulations cannot be issued without presidential approval.

    ❧ The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) can now withhold funding from independent agencies if they don’t align with White House priorities.

    ❧ All federal employees must follow the President’s and Attorney General’s interpretation of the law, eliminating legal independence.

    ❧ A White House Liaison is to be installed in every independent regulatory agency to enforce direct presidential control.

    [​IMG] This is the biggest executive power grab in U.S. history. [​IMG]

    This formally ends the concept of an “independent” regulatory agency, dismantling one of the last barriers to absolute executive power.

    [​IMG] This order effectively erases the last major restraints on executive power.

    [​IMG] The federal government no longer operates with checks and balances.

    [​IMG] Regulations and laws are now dictated solely by the President.

    [​IMG] If left unchecked, this is the moment the U.S. ceases to function as a democratic republic.

    [​IMG] The President Now Controls All Regulatory Agencies

    [​IMG] The SEC, FTC, FCC, and FEC are no longer independent.

    The Stock Market is now subject to White House control, enabling insider trading, favoritism, and targeting of political opponents. Antitrust laws can be selectively enforced, allowing administration-friendly monopolies to expand unchecked. Political opponents in the tech sector, media, or finance can be targeted with regulatory action while allies are protected. Elections are now influenced by direct White House oversight of the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

    [​IMG] The FDA, EPA, and consumer protection agencies are fully politicized.

    Drug approvals, food safety regulations, and environmental policies can be rewritten for political or corporate interests. Climate change regulations can be erased overnight. Scientific research is now subject to White House approval before public release.

    [​IMG] Implication: There is no longer any neutral enforcement of economic, environmental, or election laws. Everything is now dictated by political loyalty.

    [​IMG] The White House Can Block Agency Budgets or Direct Funds Elsewhere

    [​IMG] The OMB can now adjust funding allocations for independent agencies.

    This gives the President the power to defund agencies without needing Congress. Regulatory agencies that challenge presidential policies will be quietly strangled of resources. Agencies loyal to the President will receive full funding—even illegally. [​IMG] Implication: Congress no longer controls federal spending on regulatory enforcement. The executive branch can choke out opposition agencies and reward allies.

    [​IMG] The President & Attorney General Have Final Say on All Legal Interpretations

    [​IMG] All federal employees must follow White House interpretations of the law.

    The Attorney General’s opinions override agency lawyers, inspectors general, and independent counsel. Agencies cannot adopt their own interpretations of legal statutes—everything must align with the President’s views. The President can rewrite federal legal interpretations overnight.

    [​IMG] Implication: Legal consistency is gone. Agencies cannot push back against corrupt, illegal, or unconstitutional directives because the President’s interpretation is the only interpretation allowed.

    [​IMG] Installing White House Liaisons in All Regulatory Agencies

    [​IMG] A “White House Liaison” will be placed in every independent agency.

    This ensures constant presidential oversight of daily operations. These liaisons will report agency actions back to the White House and enforce political compliance. Agency directors will no longer have the ability to act without White House approval.

    [​IMG] Implication: There is now a direct enforcement arm inside every regulatory body. Even agencies that resist presidential control will be internally monitored and controlled.

    [​IMG] Every regulatory body—from financial markets to environmental protections—is now politicized.

    [​IMG] Congress no longer controls federal funding—agencies must obey the White House or risk defunding.

    [​IMG] The President’s legal interpretations override all agency autonomy, eliminating independent enforcement of federal laws

    . [​IMG] The federal bureaucracy, once designed to be resistant to corruption, is now completely subject to presidential loyalty.

    This is the vice grip that will force our hand. If we move against it, we will be in direct opposition to him, and he will use that to justify martial law, and many of us will die.

    If we don’t move against it, we all die.

    Wait until the Reichstag Capitol building is burned down and after an exhaustive 20 min investigation it's determined that AOC and the Dems did it.

    Which is a real shame because they were all inside the building at the time.

    I’m so confused. Is this real and I thought there were laws set in place for this exact thing NOT to happen.

    Laws don't work if nobody will enforce them.

    if the feds won't enforce the law, can the mayor of Washington DC put out a warrant for their arrest and send the DC cops after him?

    One can only hope that there is some element of checks and balances behind the scenes in the legislative branch that can counter the executive coup we're witnessing. You can't fire that many security and safety measure pros without some serious backlash. It really looks like America is getting divorced and the lawyers are makin' bank while they argue about custody.

    I think the only action that can be taken is to vote to secede. I don’t see any way to mount an offensive against him. Main problem with secession is that you need many states and I think most of the states that would break away are split up. We might be able to take California and Washington with us.

    God if only that boner hadn’t grazed his head.

    When this gets tested, eventually you'll see Trump invade Canada to force the blue state issue. They will want to ally with Canada against Trump, and either volunatrily annex themselves to Canada, or secede into a Union of States that tie their resources to Canada. The Southern border will be leveraged economically to keep South and Central Maerican produce from making it to Canada, making the California border a hot spot where the Trump armies will fight California's forces.

    Not even a month into it.

    I don't even have any words. Except Trump voters are to blame for every single thing happening right now.

    It's a symptom of something bigger... this is a global wave of fascism. I'm done blaming individuals; they were taken in by an anti-christ, and we were warned about that because people need warning about these things. But when your education loses that moral rigor (and not in a dogwhistle way like the anti-christs use), then you don't learn and you get had by charlatans and demons.

    Maybe next time we will have laws and rules that positively grant rights instead, and establish a higher baseline for the treatment of humanity. But such nobility is at the other end of a conflict.

    It was a dim cold day in February and the clocks were striking 13.
