Republicans who cheered Trump's executive orders now grumble about 'record number' from Biden

Over the past week, a growing number of Republicans began sounding the alarm about the number and content of executive orders being issued by President Biden.

“The first week in office, what has Joe Biden done? He’s signed an executive order ending the Keystone pipeline, destroying 11,000 jobs,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a Tuesday interview on Fox News.

“The scale of Joe Biden’s executive orders and their impact on Americans is stark,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said last week.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., blasted Biden for issuing “more executive fiats than anyone in such a short period of time, ever. More than Obama, more than Trump, more than anyone. Second, these aren’t just normal executive fiats, this is literally going down the wish list of the far left and checking all of them off.”

will undo all the progress Biden signed if a Republican wins the Presidency again. And people will like the changes Biden has made as public policy and the social sciences have greatly improved since obama won and was sabotaged from the start. There are great ideas just waiting to happen.

"Biden is ruling with dictatorial powers, by signing all those executive orders.
It's unconstitutional!"

It was okay though when Trump did it.

Everything Trump did was good and brilliantly worthy. Because power was sure to flow Rubio's way.

Everything Biden does is bad and dangerously stupid. Because Rubio can see his power fade away.

I bet Rubio would comment on the relative hygiene and toilet habits of the two in the same tone.

vetted by lawyers. Lots of trump's orders were dismissed because he had no idea what he was doing.

Works well with others, communicates well and meticulously crosses all the 't's and dots all the 'i's. Because experience in the job.

Trump was none of those. No skills, no smarts.

So I'm wondering: Who would be better at running a country? I'm going to have to think seriously about that question!

The Republican motto is "When a Democrat does something/anything Republicans have done multiple times, scream, yell, and act horrified, offended, and scandalized."
